Report From CodeCon (Including Live Video)

Anonymous CodeCon Attendee writes "Update live from the CodeCon conference in San Francisco: live audio streaming of the presentations is live on Brandon Wiley's site, presentations are being discussed on irc.oftc.net:#codecon, and attendance is very impressive this year." (Read on for more.)

"Yesterday's talks included several version control system improvements including a new merge algorithm invented by BitTorrent's Bram Cohen, the Xerblin multi-language compiler, zeroconf/Rendesvouz services for Apache, and an obfuscated C decompiler written by a Navy researcher.

The FunFS NFS replacement is being presented now, to be followed by the long-awaited anonymous IP Onion Router, the Shmoo Group's tripwire replacement, some anti-spam technology, and the zero-UI PGP Universal system. CodeCon's main sponsors this year are Anonymizer who provided attendees with discounted anonymous Internet access accounts, and Google who sponsored the large reception/party at the W hotel last night. The highlight of the night occurred when Donald Knuth crashed the party, in full academic robes.

The Internet developer scene is alive and well in San Francisco!

CodeCon continues through the weekend, and people are still showing up and registering. If you're local, this conference is a must-see -- come out and join us at Club NV! (If you're not local, there's always next year!)"

Uh, those pictures are from a Club NV in Chapel Hill, NC -- totally unrelated to the venue of the same name in San Francisco where CodeCon is being held this year.

The San Francisco's Club NV page is here but its not much to look at.

Sheesh...ya' know you've been around here too long when you can't even bother to read past the title. I'm thinking "they posted video of them coding?"

Mod article troll!

[Via_Patrino]

C'mom, the article have just two useful/informative links, one in the name of the poster (to codecon) and another about the audio stream. The others are for google, anonymizer and a broken link I didn't bother to fix.

There's no video stream as the title say, it's audio. And the audio stream (Alluvium) doesn't work (I see errors and exceptions repeating all over the screen).

There's only one person on the oftc irc channel.

This article sounds like a bad written blog, for those that are interesested about those speeches that's a better link

...and the icecast link is 404, too. Maybe it's because they're not broadcasting now, or maybe it's a bad link or just broken. Who knows? It's another production of the open source community! Yay! We're l33t rebels! Woohoo!

Where is the Alluvium source code?

[Anonymous Coward]

Alluvium-2.0_Beta1/LICENSE is apparently version 2 of the GNU General Public License. In the same directory, alluvium-XMMS.so is a shared object, apparently compiled with version 3.3.3 of the GNU C compiler on Debian GNU/Linux (although it is legal to compile proprietary source code with GCC). I see no C source code files in the distribution, only Java .jar files. Could someone point me to the source for alluvium-XMMS.so?

need admin to listen

[jago25_98]

Unfortunately I need Alluvium to listen.

Because I don't have admin rights to the computer I use to access the internet, I can't listen because you need to instal Java.

What a pain this is. I'm missing out on more and more content because people aren't aware that some of us have to share a computer.

Re:need admin to listen

[Anonymous Coward]

You don't need admin rights to install java if you want to install it just for you. You can also listen using a mp3 player as they say on the page.
