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!)"

  1. Mod article troll! by Via_Patrino · · Score: 2, Interesting

    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

  2. need admin to listen by jago25_98 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    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.
