An event showcasing cutting-edge applications will take place this
weekend in San Francisco. The fifth annual CodeCon event features
presentations from developers of interesting, innovative real-world
applications, and is set to run from Friday, Feb. 10 through Sunday,
Feb. 12.
CodeCon was started in 2002 by BitTorrent author Bram Cohen and Len
Sassaman, author of the Mixmaster anonymous remailer. The event is
sponsored in part by independent book publisher No Starch Press, which
has offered Linux-related titles for more than a decade.
Organizers say CodeCon offers a "prescient look at the direction of
technology." All presenters are project developers, and each
presentation includes a functional demo.
Presentations include:
* Lance James, on Daylight Fraud-Prevention (DFP), an anti-phishing
program based on real-time web-based forensics
* Daniel S. Wilkerson and Scott McPeak on the Delta interestingness
minimizer
* Todd Davies, on the Deme group discussion platform

* Robert J. Hansen, on the Djinni unsolvable problem answer
approximator

* David Barrett, on the iGlance push-to-talk videoconferencing and
screen-sharing software
* Aaron Harwood, on Localhost P2P software
* Nathaniel Smith, on the Monotone version control system
* Michael J. Freedman, on the OASIS locality aware server selection
infrastructure for content distribution systems
* Meredith L. Patterson, on Query by Example, a collection of data
mining operations for PostgreSQL
* Joe Stewart, on the Truman behavioral malware sandnet
