Even if you are successful using open source sofware, there's something special about hardware: It's physical. You can touch it. You build it (not compile it). This is a talk about the Arduino open source physical computing platform; a cheap, useful, fun micro-controller ... and it's loads of fun, even if you break into a cold sweat at the thought of picking up a soldering iron.

Perl's CPAN system is its killer app: a massive collection of libraries for nearly any task at hand. The code on the CPAN ranges from dreadful to superb, but the code used to build CPAN packages has typically hovered around "mediocre," largely due to artificial constraints. Dist::Zilla breaks free of constraints like performance, footprint, and good taste to provide you with unbridled power.

An entire generation of engineers is currently being educated exclusively with proprietary software. As a consequence, these students do not get to learn how hardware and software systems really work. For three years we have been working on changing this by offering a college course on Open Source Software Practices. Come to hear about our experiences and help us make this a better course.

Systems administrators have probably been using perl longer and more cleverly than developers in a lot of cases, and yet the perl buzz these days focuses around scalable applications development, not fast and reliable scripting. It's time to redress the balance by stealing enlightened tools for systems use too!

Javascript has become the universal language of the web. Usable on client or server, it can be fast, flexible, and reusable across many sites and applications.
To really master JS you need more than a framework: you need to grok some heavy-duty functional and OO concepts it took from weird languages like Scheme and Self. Come see where these ideas came from, and how to use them in your JS code.
