SUMMARY:The Gearman Cookbook
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Eric Day (craigslist), Brian Aker (HP). Many pe
 ople view topics like Map/Reduce and queue systems as advanced concepts 
 that require in-depth knowledge and time consuming software setup. Gearm
 an is changing all that by making this barrier to entry as low as possib
 le with an open source, distributed job queuing system. This session div
 es into advanced use cases that demonstrate the power and flexibility of
  distributed architectures.

SUMMARY:Building Native Mobile Apps Using Open Source
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Kevin Whinnery (Appcelerator). HTML, CSS and Ja

SUMMARY:Faster Python Programs through Optimization
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Mike Mueller (Python Academy). Although Python 
 programs may be slow for certain types of tasks, there are many differen
 t ways to improve performance. This tutorial will introduce optimization
  strategies and demonstrate techniques to implement them. Participants w
 ill learn how to decide what might be the optimal solution for a certain
  performance problem. Participants are strongly recommended to bring lap
 tops.

SUMMARY:Open Source Tool Chains for Cloud Computing
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Mark Hinkle (Citrix), John Willis (Enstratius),
  Alex Honor (ControlTier open source automation project). The proliferat
 ion of cloud computing is inevitable, hosted apps, software-as-as-servic
 e and now dynamic on-demand utility computing is becoming the norm. The

SUMMARY:Public Static Void
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Rob Pike (Google, Inc.). Object-oriented progra
 mming began, back in the 1960s with Simula, as a way to describe the beh
 avior of interacting items - objects.  It was purified through languages
  such as Smalltalk, in which everything is an object and every operation
  a message send, a clear and beautiful model.  But then something went v
 ery wrong.

 ov (The New York Times). User-generated content has become an integral p
 art of NYTimes.com. And where there's a community, there are scaling iss
 ues. At The Times, we recently moved our entire community platform from

 e discuss our adventures in the cloud so far. Topics will include cloud 
 management, auto-scaling and deployment on the cloud.

SUMMARY:Threading Is Not A Model
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Joe Gregorio (Google). We have many concurrency
 /multiprocessing capabilities at our finger tips, but none of them are a
  model for multiprocessing, they are only tools on which you would build
  an implementation of such a model. So what are the models we can choose
  from? How would they be implemented in Python?

SUMMARY:Powerful Pythonic Patterns
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Alex Martelli (Google). Does Python have Design
  Patterns?  You bet!  Whatever the misguided meme going around is claimi
 ng to the contrary, every field of human endeavor has Patterns, and so o
 f course does Python. This talk shows how and why, recapping what Patter
 ns are all about, Design patterns in particular, and presenting examples
  of how they work best in Python, both singly and as part of a Language 
 of Patterns.

SUMMARY:Reconnoiter: Monitoring and Trend Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Theo Schlossnagle (OmniTI/Circonus). Monitoring
  systems to collect metrics is systems administration 101. However, syst
 ems are more complicated, there are more metrics and correlation is a mu
 st to troubleshoot problems or plan for growth. As our problem got bigge
 r, our tools didn't get better. Reconnoiter is a large-scale monitoring 
 and trend analysis system designed to nip these problems in the bud.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Daniel Jacobson (Netflix), Jeremy Pennycook (NP
 R). At OSCON 2008, NPR launched our first API.  Two years later, the API
  has grown tremendously and has become the centerpiece of NPR's digital 
 strategy.  Come hear how and why NPR has invested so much into API's, ho
 w people are using them, how they have dramatically improved our mobile 
 offerings, and about our vision for open source.

SUMMARY:Practical Concurrency
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Tim Bray (Google, Inc.). Computers are getting 
 wider, not faster. If you want your code to run faster, it has to have s
 ome parallelism.  This is hard, and threads probably aren't the answer. 
  There is a lot of new concurrency technology on the scene.  This talk s
 urveys the 2010 state of the art in tools to empower developers to write
  concurrent code, and makes some predictions.

SUMMARY:Hybrid Storage: Local Data, Remote Cloud
DESCRIPTION:Presented by . Aahz (Egnyte). Egnyte started as a cloud stor
 age provider, but our customers demanded  that we provide an easy way to
  synchronize their local data with the cloud because they wanted to reta
 in control of their data.  Come learn how we solved some of the problems
  of automatic bidirectional synchronization using a CherryPy/Cheetah Pyt
 hon client that runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

SUMMARY:Testing from Unit to Functional, Integration to Acceptance
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Rabble Evan Henshaw-Plath (cuboxsa.com), Gabrie
 la Rodriguez (PyLadies). This talk will be about what's happening in tes
 ting. The general argument is that we're moving away from testing units 
 towards testing functionality through integration testing. Improved mock
 ing libraries, scripted and emulated browsers, fixtures, and frameworks 
 means that we can effectively test that a system works.

SUMMARY:The World's Worst Inventions
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Paul Fenwick (Perl Training Australia). Technol

 r us all; at least in theory. In reality, the advance of progress is lit
 tered with bad ideas.  What's worse, we often build upon such twisted ho
 rrors in the creation of new technology. A humouros look at some of the
