* Kernel hacking, e.g. qemu + remote GDB + module making. - Matt Davis
The GNU/Linux kernel, although monolithic, is constructed in a module-based format. Device drivers and even major aspects of the kernels functionality are implemented as modules, many of which can be loaded/unloaded at runtime. Creating modules is rather simple, however debugging them is not always trivial. This presentation is a brief overview of the simplicity of module creation and demonstrates two major ways of debugging the kernel and its modules
Matt Davis has been a software hacker/developer by trade and in his free time.  He is currently on leave from his US life/employment in pursuit of his doctorate in Computer Science.  His interests have included software development, evolutionary algorithms, compilers, making really easy things hard, ninja turtles, and consuming coffee.

The best tools are ones that save you time and stress. GNU Emacs has a range of great features that simply allow you to get more done. We'll be taking a look at some of the handy work-flow tools for writing, programming and staying organised.
Ben Sturmfels is a free software developer and advocate from Brunswick. He also organises the Melbourne Free Software interest Group and is currently working on a national campaign against software patents.
