We all recognize these as the names of researchers who have made profound contributions to computing and software. They are also the headline speakers at this year's ooPSLA, where you'll hear what they are thinking about in 2007. ooPSLA invited talks have a well-deserved reputation for energizing software developers with ideas that stretch our collective mind. </p> <p> Jim Purbrick and Mark Lentczner. You may not recognize these names, but you might know their alter egos: Babbage Linden and Zero Linden, of Linden Labs. They are the creators of Second Life, a 3D virtual world that is changing how we think about the real world, how we live in multiple worlds, and how we do business in the 21st century. Purbrick and Lentczner are the Onward! keynote speakers. </p> <p> Peter Turchi. He is the director of the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College. You certainly don't recognize his name. Turchi is the award-winning author of <em>Maps of the Imagination</em>, an exploration of the relationships between creative writing, making maps, and creativity. He is our keynote speaker, and perhaps the most mind-bending of all our speakers. </p> <p> That is just a sampling of what makes ooPSLA the conference of choice for software technologists—from recognized academics to undergraduate students, from industrial researchers to developers and managers, from the creators of technology to its users. </p> <p><b> We are proud to offer you ooPSLA and look forward to sharing the experience with you in Montréal. </b></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="4" ><div id="botborder"><hr width="100%" color="#dfdad4" size="1"> </div></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding-right:10px;" colspan="4"> <div id="content"> <img src="image0416.gif" alt="Picture" style="padding-left:5px" align="left"> <span class="blacktitle" align="left"> The <SPAN CLASS="red">oo</span>PSLA Experience </SPAN><BR/> <p> Hear what the participants have to say ... </p> <P CLASS="smallblack"><B>“I think <SPAN CLASS="red">oo</span>PSLA is the best d*mned programming conference in the world: there is nothing else like it. <SPAN CLASS="red">oo</span>PSLA is where people learn what they need today—and learn what they will be doing tomorrow.
