Damian ConwayDamian Conway is known as the "Mad Scientist of Perl". He has a Ph.D. in Computer Science and currently an Associate Professor in the School of Computer Science and Software Engineering at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.
A popular speaker and trainer, he is also the author of several infamous modules including: Parse::RecDescent (parsing without lexing), Lingua::EN::Inflect (English transformations without a dictionary), Lingua::Romana::Perligata (Perl programming without English), Class::Multimethods (polymorphism without objects), Quantum::Superpositions (quantum computing without tears), and Coy (error messages without karma). A three-time winner of the Perl Conference's Larry Wall Award, Damian is now banned from future competition on the grounds of being unfairly weird and instead has the conference's Best Technical Paper named after him.
Damian is closely involved in the design of Perl 6, where his job is to tempt Larry with evil ideas and to explain Larry's apocalyptic visions.
He also runs an international IT training company -- Thoughtstream -- which provides programmer training from beginner to masterclass level throughout Europe, North America, and Australasia.
He lists his technical interests as: programming language design, teaching programming, object orientation, software engineering, natural language generation, synthetic language generation, emergent systems, declarative programming, morphing, human-computer interaction, geometric modelling, the psychophysics of perception, nanoscale simulation, and parsing.
In his spare time, he travels barefoot across the U.S. -- teaching, playing his flute, having alopecic flashbacks, preaching pacifist philosophy, and generally beating the tar out of bad guys with his deadly kung-fu skills. Damian Conway will be presenting:
Jonathan CorbetJonathan Corbet is a co-founder of LWN.net and a co-author of Linux Device Drivers, Second Edition (and the forthcoming Third Edition).

Jonathan Corbet will be presenting:
Michael DaviesMichael has been fortunate to be able to work on many varied systems and in many domains. He's developed embedded systems, large-scale multi-person simulations, network software, user interfaces and web applications.
He is a technology junkie, who writes software, herds cats, gives training, occasionally is a BOFH, and does some external consultancy. Right now his favourite thing is playing with python under GNOME and C# in mono - in fact anything but organising conferences :-)
Sometime back in Linux kernel 2.0.x days he was re-introduced to Linux and open-source and is now a certified zealot. Often referred to in his day-job as the "Linux guy", Michael hopes that one day he'll find nirvana and get paid to develop open-source software for a living. Bdale GarbeeBdale is a former Debian Project Leader, and as HP Linux CTO helps to ensure Linux will work well on future HP systems. His background includes many years of both UNIX internals and embedded systems work. He helped jump-start ports of Debian GNU/Linux to 5 architectures other than i386. When Bdale isn't busy trying to keep his basement compute farm full of oddball systems running various flavors of Unix working, his other big hobby is amateur radio, specifically building amateur satellites. Bdale Garbee will be presenting:
