** Summary: <br>Learning to program can be a daunting activity. As well as learning a computer language there is a significant amount of other knowledge and information to absorb -- apparently much of it through osmosis. Additionally can also be very hard to organise your objectives and work to reach your end goal.<p> This presentation will use real examples and demonstrations to cover some of these topics. Specific tools will be used as illustrations but the ideas will be applicable no matter what tool set is available.
** Agenda:
**# Issues with development: e.g. Bugs, tedium, never releasing working product
**# Useful Processes and Ideas: User Stories, Test Driven Development, Minimal Viable Product
**# Tools to support the programming process:
**## Version Control
**## Using a sophisticated editor. Editors vs. IDEs
**## Automation of testing and other things
**## Organising your code and Building software

* Be Hurd not Scene: Current Status in the other kernel — Andrew  Chalmers
* An Introduction to Drupal, Daniel Jitnah


The suite of applications that are used with Linux were primarily developed by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) as part of the GNU operating system. In creating these applications, the FSF was working on  a micro-kernel known as Mach, part of the Hurd operating system, however  a viable Linux kernel was introduced first and this has been the norm  for over twenty years. The Hurd project however has not gone way and is still under development. In this presentation, a basic understanding of the kernel and differences between Linux and *nix kernels is explored, along with the current status of Hurd.

"Above the line" voting means your favourite political party can choose where preferences will be distributed, and you may not know (or like) their decisions. auprefs is an open source web application to visualise preference distribution in Australian elections, to better inform voters where their vote might go. Paul will talk about why he did it, and how it is implemented, including force-directed graphs and the amazing d3 Javascript graphing library.
Paul Foxworthy is an open source developer whose day job is working on Australianising and customising the Apache OFBiz ERP system. He is a committer to the OFBiz project and also currently serves as a director of Open Source Industry Australia. He is very pleased to have finally done something just possibly cool enough to give a LUV talk.
