Description:

    Haiku is an open source operating system inspired by the BeOS that is
    specifically focused on personal computing. The intent of this
    presentation is to give a general introduction to both the Haiku
    project and operating system. The talk will cover among other things
    the history of the project, some of its most important milestones,
    recent developments, the code base, as well as the global community
    that supports it. We will also introduce some of the aspects that make
    the Haiku operating system unique both from a technical as well as end
    user perspective. We will wrap up the talk with an interactive live
    demo/QA session.

Speakers: Alex Honor

Description:

    CTL is a new open source project for enterprise management, written in
    Java, but with bindings to Python, Perl, Ruby, shell, Javascript, and
    more. CTL is not an acronym; think of what 'apachectl' does for the
    Apache webserver, and imagine what such a tool might do for your entire
    enterprise and you've got CTL.

    About the Speaker:

    Alex Honor is open source project lead and principle architect at
    ControlTier. Formerly, he was head of E*trade system engineering, and
    carried them from dot boom to dot bomb and has been specializing in
    cradle to grave distributed enterprise software management ever since.
