Scientific development has always learnt a lot from SF. Maybe boody-sleeving will be next.

Let’s admit it, Lisp coders are on average very smart, but so are the early ruby adapters .. and they get only on average $60k. Sniff ..

Short update, before the conference on Nov 4 and 5.

• We are still evaluating whether we should get a bigger room. Sofar we have about 30 people that confirmed that they will show up. We have space for 50 people and might simple close the conference registration once we are fully booked and overbooked by 5% like these airline companies.
• O’Reilly might give a free book to every speaker. Please add to the wiki what book you want. I will send off our wish list o O’Reilly around Oct 5.
• Please put titles of your talks in the wiki, so that some structure will emerge. In the worst case we do a "planing-game" at the start of the conference and quickly produce the program as we did last year.
• Get-Togethers will be announced in the wiki till Friday this week.

Looking forward to see you all again this year!

> Hi all,

 > by female singer?

 I don't listen to music as such; I listen to an 8-second mp3-loop of my
 manager screeching, puce-faced, at the top voice, "WTF is taking you so
 long?!?! RELEASE THE CODE!!!! RELEASE THE CODE!!!! WTF AM I PAYING YOUR
 SALARY FOR?!?! RELEASE THE F%#KING CODE, YOUR WORTHLESS, DISGUSTING,
 INTOLERABLE PIECE OF S@&T!!!"

 > I think sometime hearing music would be helpful in
 > our productivity, right?

 I find that this mp3-loop truly helps <TWITCH> my productivity. I love
 <TWITCH> my manager, and dream of him <TWITCH><TWITCH><releases safety>
 often ...
