“Dreaming in Code,” Berkeley Cybersalon (Berkeley, CA)
From Sylvia Paull’s mailing list (subscribe here): Scott Rosenberg, a founder of Salon.com, will moderate a panel discussing the challenges of writing major software programs. Scott just wrote a book called “Dreaming in Code,” which follows the tortuous path of Mitch Kapor’s OSAF (Open Source Applications Foundation) undertaking to write a PIM (personal information manager,) code-named Chandler. On the panel will be Eric Allman, email pioneer and creator of Sendmail software as well as Chief Science Officer of the eponymous company; Chad Dickerson, manager of the Yahoo Developer Network; Lisa Dusseault, Fellow at CommerceNet and a former development manager and standards architect at OSAF; and Jaron Lanier, computer scientist and virtual reality pioneer.
