Thanks for all the great suggestions, but the timetable was full. I’ll have to consider running another barcamp just to hear more about these!

I know the schedule is fixed, but if you guys are organising another of these I’d love to contribute to something on scalability using open source.

I’d like to talk about an open-source project which is being conceived if not yet born to design a carbon-footprint/energy/energy-cost tracker for both public and commercial use. The working prototype is on http://www.carbontracking.com/thetracker.htm but a huge amount of work awaits to be done by people with ruby-on-rails/javascript(jquery)/css/xml knowledge. Its carbon footprint 2.0 (hopefully), one step up from the plethora of mediocre calculators that exist already.

“How to convince a Windows-based software house to switch to OSS alternatives”

That would be a big one for me. My employer’s products are server oriented and their old Windows based client software is slowly being ported over to the web. Now would seem like a good time to make to case to switch.

There are no technical or financial reasons to stick with Windows and we certainly aren’t nowhere big enough to have MS make us a financial offer we can’t refuse.

I find programming Windows a pain, it’s just weird and quirky. Linux programming a lot more straightforward to me and there is a plenty more support. More to the point, if a system call misbehaves I can look at the underying code and find out why – I can’t do that with closed source systems.

I offer to give a lecture about the Ubuntu Community.

UDS, on line communication, launchpad, and how the structure of the community works (users/MOTU/Core Team/Desktop/etc…).

Anybody interested?

Monorail(MVC) and the Castle Project [Open Source .Net]

This session is a walk through of a sample application using Monorail, an MVC from castleproject.org. Monorail is an open source MVC framework.

The application will also use Active Record, an implementation of the active record pattern. Active Record works on top of NHibernate so the session will also contain some criteria building , as well as a quick look at using Windsor (Inversion of Control)
