MAIN Session Topic (7:00PM): Breaking Eggs And Making Omelettes: Intelligence
Gathering For Open Source Software Development with Mike Melanson

There is an ongoing information war raging on in the software world. Despite
free software developers' best efforts, new proprietary software continues to
proliferate. New techniques must be developed to efficiently reverse engineer
closed data formats so that free, interoperable solutions can be deployed
under Linux. This talk focuses on intelligence-gathering for developing
software algorithms, regardless of their difficulty or perceived legality.

Mike Melanson is an open source/free software developer from Colorado
 Springs, CO. His primary obsession is multimedia technology and making sure
 that Linux/Unix users can experience all types of multimedia on their
 desktops.
