http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS8540785603.html Feb. 09, 2006 An event showcasing cutting-edge applications will take place this weekend in San Francisco. The fifth annual CodeCon event features presentations from developers of interesting, innovative real-world applications, and is set to run from Friday, Feb. 10 through Sunday, Feb. 12. CodeCon was started in 2002 by BitTorrent author Bram Cohen and Len Sassaman, author of the Mixmaster anonymous remailer. The event is sponsored in part by independent book publisher No Starch Press, which has offered Linux-related titles for more than a decade. Organizers say CodeCon offers a "prescient look at the direction of technology." All presenters are project developers, and each presentation includes a functional demo. Presentations include: * Lance James, on Daylight Fraud-Prevention (DFP), an anti-phishing program based on real-time web-based forensics * Daniel S. Wilkerson and Scott McPeak on the Delta interestingness minimizer * Todd Davies, on the Deme group discussion platform * Quinn Weaver, on the Dido perl-based voice menu platform * Robert J. Hansen, on the Djinni unsolvable problem answer approximator * Daniel S.
