SUMMARY:Simplifying Database Design
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Josh Berkus (PostgreSQL Experts, Inc.). In 10 y
 ears of fixing other people's SQL databases, I've noticed that the less 
 the original developer knew, the more complex the databases are ... and 
 the more complex the problems.  Here I offer a refreshing approach for s
 imple SQL database design.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jonathan Steinert (SixApart). Many people know 
 how to use memcached, the popular caching system powering much of web1+.
   Most folks, though, don't know how not to use it, and how improper usa

 credibly grumpy DBA.  Learn what memcached is good for, and what it's no
 t good for from those that have learned the wrong way.

SUMMARY:New Ways for Teaching Children Software Programming
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Howard Abrams (Joule Labs). Software programmin
 g has come a long way for students and younger children since the days o
 f Logo. Syntax has been replaced with connecting blocks and the triangle
  turtle has been replaced with custom artwork children create themselves
 . Now, multi-threading and event processing are easier to teach children
  than functions, and this session discusses these ideas as well as so th
 e edge of kid code.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Danny O'Brien (Electronic Frontier Foundation).
  Why do we trust our most personal diary entries with only our closest f

SUMMARY:Antifeatures
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Benjamin Mako Hill (Massachusetts Institute of 
 Technology). This talk provides a humorous description of an argument in
  favor of free and open source software based on what I call "antifeatur
 es:" functionality that technology developers charge users to not includ
 e. From DRM to crippled OSes to digital cameras, I will show off many of
  the most egregious antifeatures and describe how open source both makes
  them impossible and helps users work around them.

SUMMARY:Open Source Analytics: Visualization and Predictive Modeling of 
 Big Data with the R Programming Language
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Michael Driscoll (Metamarkets). The age of Big 
 Data demands open-source tools that move beyond storage towards analytic
 s:  tools to turn terabytes into insights. R is an open-source language 
 for statistical computing and graphics, and an extensible, embeddable to
 ol for the analysis of large data sets. In this session, I showcase R's 
 power by building predictive models for Brazilian soybean harvests and b
 aseball slugger salaries.

SUMMARY:Email Hates the Living!
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ricardo Signes (Pobox.com). Email: you see it e
 very day. It's on your desktop. It's in your servers. Through the magic 
 of modern technology, it flows invisibly through the air and into your P

 istant servers, speaking the ancient language of SMTP and the unknowable
  dialects of IMAP. Surely all this technology means progress of mankind.

 ! Come to this talk to learn about the tools that enable integrated unit
  tests for your database.

SUMMARY:Writing Books using Open Source Software
DESCRIPTION:Presented by wesley chun (Google). These days, there are cou

 cations are developed. In this talk, we present some case studies of thi
 s phenomenon.
