=== Elena Kelareva - Automated Scheduling Problems ===

Automated scheduling algorithms have many applications in the real world, from manufacturing to transport to space. This talk will give a general overview of scheduling problems and the algorithms that exist
for solving them, as well as describing in more detail a number of software applications which use automated scheduling to solve real-world problems.

'''Elena Kelareva''' is a software engineer/researcher working for OMC International, a maritime consulting company which makes software for ports. Elena has been involved in developing algorithms for the Dynamic Under Keel Clearance software used by most major Australian ports to determine safe sailing times for ships. She is about to start a PhD on automated scheduling at ANU, with a case study of scheduling ships at a port.

=== Andy Gelme - Hacking the world ... using an Arduino or two ===

Open-source hardware platforms, such as the Arduino, have become reasonably inexpensive, quite capable, with good connectivity options. In addition, a vast range sensors and actuators are now available. Most
importantly, active and innovative developer communities have made Arduino hacking a truly fascinating activity. More recently, instrumenting the world with large scale device networks has emerged as
a contender for the one of the "next big things".

This presentation will (briefly) cover the basics of getting an Arduino environment running on Linux. The main focus will be on demonstrating interesting ways in which you can create interactions between your Linux system, some Arduino controllers and a variety of connected devices (including some wearable computing).

'''Andy Gelme''' has been working and playing with Unix for a very long time ... and got into Linux around the time of SLS 1.03 and kernel 0.99pl12, when everything fitted onto ten 3.5" floppies. His main area of interest is in distributed systems, particularly when applied to large scale device networks. From 2000 to 2008, Andy was the technical lead of an R&D project that developed home / building automation systems (amongst other things). Some of the resulting distributed system framework and development environment is in the process of being released as open-source. More recently, Andy has been involved in starting the

* Ben Powell - GPL, BSD, WTF? Demystifying Licensing.
* Jacinta Richardson - 'On Speaking' plus tips for writing a good abstract (hello OSDC and LCA)

=== Ben Powell - GPL, BSD, WTF? Demystifying Licensing ===

So you've just finished writing your code-that-will-change-the-world and being the freedom loving pythonista (because all great code is written in python right?) you are, you've put it under the GPL. So what have you just done? Is that the right license? What is a license anyway?

This presentation will give a basic overview of licensing for non-lawyers, including some tips on choosing licenses. The presentation won't go into the intricacies of the specific licenses.

Level: Basic
Knowledge required: Preferably none (it's really designed to be basic)

BIO: Ben is not a lawyer (although he does have a law degree), he has a legal background in IT related law and a keen interest in intellectual property law.
He will code in python if forced, but cannot guarantee the results.

=== Jacinta Richardson - On Speaking and Getting your talk accepted ===

Title: On Speaking.

You've been to *those* talks. The kind where the title first drew your attention, the abstract made you go wow, and you were so excited you took a front seat. Then the speaker went to their first slide and it was so full of text (15 bullet points!) and you just knew they were going to spend the next ten minutes talking about what you've just read in two. Worse, being up the front, you can't easily leave and it'd be rude to pull out your laptop... Don't be one of those speakers. No matter how technically brilliant your talk, it's worth nothing at all if you can't keep your audience interested. This (short) talk will cover a whole bunch of tricks you can use to get your audience's attention and keep it. Better yet, if you use these ideas there's a good chance people will remember *what* you spoke about and will attend your future talks as well.

Title: On getting your talk accepted.

You could be the best speaker in the world, but that's no good if you never get up and try. There are numerous opportunities to share your wisdom and gain fame, you just have to take advantage of them. This short talk will give you some feedback on how to make your talk proposal convincing, so you'll find acceptance more easy.

=== Elena Kelareva - Automated Scheduling Problems ===

Automated scheduling algorithms have many applications in the real world, from manufacturing to transport to space. This talk will give a general overview of scheduling problems and the algorithms that exist
for solving them, as well as describing in more detail a number of software applications which use automated scheduling to solve real-world problems.

'''Elena Kelareva''' is a software engineer/researcher working for OMC International, a maritime consulting company which makes software for ports. Elena has been involved in developing algorithms for the Dynamic Under Keel Clearance software used by most major Australian ports to determine safe sailing times for ships. She is about to start a PhD on automated scheduling at ANU, with a case study of scheduling ships at a port.

=== Andy Gelme - Hacking the world ... using an Arduino or two ===

Open-source hardware platforms, such as the Arduino, have become reasonably inexpensive, quite capable, with good connectivity options. In addition, a vast range sensors and actuators are now available. Most
importantly, active and innovative developer communities have made Arduino hacking a truly fascinating activity. More recently, instrumenting the world with large scale device networks has emerged as
a contender for the one of the "next big things".

This presentation will (briefly) cover the basics of getting an Arduino environment running on Linux. The main focus will be on demonstrating interesting ways in which you can create interactions between your Linux system, some Arduino controllers and a variety of connected devices (including some wearable computing).

'''Andy Gelme''' has been working and playing with Unix for a very long time ... and got into Linux around the time of SLS 1.03 and kernel 0.99pl12, when everything fitted onto ten 3.5" floppies. His main area of interest is in distributed systems, particularly when applied to large scale device networks. From 2000 to 2008, Andy was the technical lead of an R&D project that developed home / building automation systems (amongst other things). Some of the resulting distributed system framework and development environment is in the process of being released as open-source. More recently, Andy has been involved in starting the

* Ben Powell - GPL, BSD, WTF? Demystifying Licensing.
* Jacinta Richardson - 'On Speaking' plus tips for writing a good abstract (hello OSDC and LCA)

=== Ben Powell - GPL, BSD, WTF? Demystifying Licensing ===

So you've just finished writing your code-that-will-change-the-world and being the freedom loving pythonista (because all great code is written in python right?) you are, you've put it under the GPL. So what have you just done? Is that the right license? What is a license anyway?

This presentation will give a basic overview of licensing for non-lawyers, including some tips on choosing licenses. The presentation won't go into the intricacies of the specific licenses.

Level: Basic
Knowledge required: Preferably none (it's really designed to be basic)

BIO: Ben is not a lawyer (although he does have a law degree), he has a legal background in IT related law and a keen interest in intellectual property law.
He will code in python if forced, but cannot guarantee the results.

=== Jacinta Richardson - On Speaking and Getting your talk accepted ===

Title: On Speaking.

You've been to *those* talks. The kind where the title first drew your attention, the abstract made you go wow, and you were so excited you took a front seat. Then the speaker went to their first slide and it was so full of text (15 bullet points!) and you just knew they were going to spend the next ten minutes talking about what you've just read in two. Worse, being up the front, you can't easily leave and it'd be rude to pull out your laptop... Don't be one of those speakers. No matter how technically brilliant your talk, it's worth nothing at all if you can't keep your audience interested. This (short) talk will cover a whole bunch of tricks you can use to get your audience's attention and keep it. Better yet, if you use these ideas there's a good chance people will remember *what* you spoke about and will attend your future talks as well.

Title: On getting your talk accepted.

You could be the best speaker in the world, but that's no good if you never get up and try. There are numerous opportunities to share your wisdom and gain fame, you just have to take advantage of them. This short talk will give you some feedback on how to make your talk proposal convincing, so you'll find acceptance more easy.

=== Elena Kelareva - Automated Scheduling Problems ===

Automated scheduling algorithms have many applications in the real world, from manufacturing to transport to space. This talk will give a general overview of scheduling problems and the algorithms that exist
for solving them, as well as describing in more detail a number of software applications which use automated scheduling to solve real-world problems.

'''Elena Kelareva''' is a software engineer/researcher working for OMC International, a maritime consulting company which makes software for ports. Elena has been involved in developing algorithms for the Dynamic Under Keel Clearance software used by most major Australian ports to determine safe sailing times for ships. She is about to start a PhD on automated scheduling at ANU, with a case study of scheduling ships at a port.

=== Andy Gelme - Hacking the world ... using an Arduino or two ===

Open-source hardware platforms, such as the Arduino, have become reasonably inexpensive, quite capable, with good connectivity options. In addition, a vast range sensors and actuators are now available. Most
importantly, active and innovative developer communities have made Arduino hacking a truly fascinating activity. More recently, instrumenting the world with large scale device networks has emerged as
a contender for the one of the "next big things".

This presentation will (briefly) cover the basics of getting an Arduino environment running on Linux. The main focus will be on demonstrating interesting ways in which you can create interactions between your Linux system, some Arduino controllers and a variety of connected devices (including some wearable computing).

'''Andy Gelme''' has been working and playing with Unix for a very long time ... and got into Linux around the time of SLS 1.03 and kernel 0.99pl12, when everything fitted onto ten 3.5" floppies. His main area of interest is in distributed systems, particularly when applied to large scale device networks. From 2000 to 2008, Andy was the technical lead of an R&D project that developed home / building automation systems (amongst other things). Some of the resulting distributed system framework and development environment is in the process of being released as open-source. More recently, Andy has been involved in starting the

* Ben Powell - GPL, BSD, WTF? Demystifying Licensing.
* Jacinta Richardson - 'On Speaking' plus tips for writing a good abstract (hello OSDC and LCA)

=== Ben Powell - GPL, BSD, WTF? Demystifying Licensing ===

So you've just finished writing your code-that-will-change-the-world and being the freedom loving pythonista (because all great code is written in python right?) you are, you've put it under the GPL. So what have you just done? Is that the right license? What is a license anyway?

This presentation will give a basic overview of licensing for non-lawyers, including some tips on choosing licenses. The presentation won't go into the intricacies of the specific licenses.

Level: Basic
Knowledge required: Preferably none (it's really designed to be basic)

BIO: Ben is not a lawyer (although he does have a law degree), he has a legal background in IT related law and a keen interest in intellectual property law.
He will code in python if forced, but cannot guarantee the results.

=== Jacinta Richardson - On Speaking and Getting your talk accepted ===

Title: On Speaking.

You've been to *those* talks. The kind where the title first drew your attention, the abstract made you go wow, and you were so excited you took a front seat. Then the speaker went to their first slide and it was so full of text (15 bullet points!) and you just knew they were going to spend the next ten minutes talking about what you've just read in two. Worse, being up the front, you can't easily leave and it'd be rude to pull out your laptop... Don't be one of those speakers. No matter how technically brilliant your talk, it's worth nothing at all if you can't keep your audience interested. This (short) talk will cover a whole bunch of tricks you can use to get your audience's attention and keep it. Better yet, if you use these ideas there's a good chance people will remember *what* you spoke about and will attend your future talks as well.

Title: On getting your talk accepted.

You could be the best speaker in the world, but that's no good if you never get up and try. There are numerous opportunities to share your wisdom and gain fame, you just have to take advantage of them. This short talk will give you some feedback on how to make your talk proposal convincing, so you'll find acceptance more easy.
