OSCON at a glance

gnat on 2002-05-10T22:10:04

The result of my afternoon's labour: a grid showing OSCON at a glance. You might want to buy an enormous monitor and drop the point size to get it in only one glance, 'cos there's a lot going on.

I see that perl slowly takes over the conference as the days progress. :)

That wasn't totally deliberate. I began with two rooms for three days for Perl, but realized that putting anybody against Damian and Larry and Jarkko and lightning talks is a Big Mistake. So I moved Wednesday's room-day to Friday.

And there'll be more Perl stuff (RT, Movable Type, Gerald Richter) coming. I've also got a linguist, Allison Randal, to talk about tagmemics (so maybe we'll all stand a chance of understanding Larry :-). This stuff will be announced early next week. I was building the grid view so I could see how much spare room I had :-)

Now all I need to do is clone myself so I can get to the Mono talks at the same time as everything else..

Playstations?

Developing Game Logic: Python on the Sony Playstation 2 and Nintendo GameCube

Dammit, now the Python folks are gonna leverage this against the Perl community because *we* don't have anything like this. I can hear the "nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah" repeating in my head now.

Quick, someone write the "Games::Console::Playstation2" and "Games::Console::GameCube" modules before they can start giving us any grief.

I'm working on getting two presentations from people in the movie computer graphics industry. Both are heavy (HEAVY) Perl consumers, despite this industry being allegedly Python-tight.

But yes, it'd be cool to have Perl bindings to the Linux Playstation libraries ...

More computer readable format

Any chance you could give us a copy of the data in a more computer readable format?

Last year we wrote a CGI RSS feed for dispy (which purl ended up using as well) so that you could ask the bot who was speaking currently and next.

Up to Date?

Are you keeping this up to date? I mean, can I book mark this, or should I just refer to the O'Reilly site for accurate info?
