OSDC Over
Yes, I survived and enjoyed OSDC in Melbourne last week! My presentation seemed to be well received, much to my relief.
Talks on the last two days that I enjoyed included Richard Jones on 3D graphics using Python, Mark Rees on Agile Scripting Languages based on Mono, Tennessee Leeuwenburg on Automatic Text Generation and Weather Forecasting, Andy Todd on databases with Python, Myles Byrne on Ruby DSLs, Steve Goschnick's Multi-Agent System and Andrew Bennetts' Coding in a Distributed Team, not to mention several brilliant lightning talks.
Besides the sense of achievement in presenting a paper, I learnt a lot, discovered all sorts of things to learn more about (if I ever have the time) and generally had fun surrounded by lots of clever people. Photos (many of them thanks to Andy) are to be found on flickr.
Update: Slides and the paper for my presentation can be found here.
