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. Wilkerson, on the Elsa/Oink/Cqual++ C/C++ program dataflow
  analyzer

* David Barrett, on the iGlance push-to-talk videoconferencing and
  screen-sharing software

* Aaron Harwood, on Localhost P2P software

* Nathaniel Smith, on the Monotone version control system

* Michael J. Freedman, on the OASIS locality aware server selection
  infrastructure for content distribution systems

* Meredith L. Patterson, on Query by Example, a collection of data
  mining operations for PostgreSQL

* Joe Stewart, on the Truman behavioral malware sandnet

* Adam Sourzis, on the Rhizome application stack for rapid
  semantic-web development

* Tom Pinckney, on the SiteAdvisor scam-finding web crawler

* Dimitris Vyzovitis and Ilia Mirkin on VidTorrent/Peers, a scalable
  real-time P2P streaming protocol
