This talk introduces geospatial features added to Ingres for Ingres 10.1 and provides a glimpse at the roadmap for Ingres geospatial.

OpenStreetMap is a free (as in speech) wiki-editable map of the world. The OpenStreetMap project is working on mapping roads, rivers, schools, pubs and most and many other things by sending people out into the world with GPS units, notepads and cameras.

This talk will cover an introduction to OpenStreetMap and show attendees how they can start adding to the map.

KDE has evolved from one small team nearly 15 years ago to dozens of small to medium sized teams with well over a thousand people working in concert on over 5 million lines of code. This presentation looks at the processes and practices that go into keeping both the larger KDE community vibrant as well as individual teams, such as the Plasma project, moving. From legal (e.g. copyright attribution) concerns to logistics (e.g. release scheduling) to community health (e.g. events, developer sprints, codes of conduct) and of course technical excellence (e.g. peer review and design): how does a F/OSS behemoth remain agile and connected?

How can you ensure you have a highly productive, motivated, happy development team? Scott Chacon provides valuable insights.
