<html> <title>Selected Videos of Interest</title> <h2>Google tech talks</h2> <ul> <li><p>May 3, 2007 <a href=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2199332044603874737>Linus Torvalds on git</a> - Linus Torvalds (Linux, git).</p></li> <p>ABSTRACT: When Linus looked for a replacement for BitKeeper, he wanted a source control system that was distributed, performed well, and guaranteed that data checked out exactly matches the data that was checked in. To get this, he had to write one. Covers the horrors of CVS, and why Linus considers SVN's slogan "CVS done right" to be a contradiction in terms. Why a distributed source control system is a better match for open source development than a centralized one: "Distribution means nobody's special." Forking is natural, and a distributed SCM is a tool to easily merge forks back together. You can work offline, developers don't block each other during development. Branches have no namespace issues. Every developer having their own branch and can control what gets applied to that branch which eliminates issues of security/trust/politics related to "commit access", and thus cutting a release is something anyone can do. The "network of trust" in merging and cutting releases securely. How git makes merging easy, and resolving conflicts.</p> <li><p>May 1, 2007 <a href=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1742374580386548257>State of the Linux kernel</a> - Andrew Morton</p></li> <li><p><a href=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4216011961522818645>How Open Source Projects Survive Poisonous People</a> - Ben Collins-Sussman and Brian Fitzpatrick (Subversion).</p> <p>ABSTRACT: Every open source project runs into people who are selfish, uncooperative, and disrespectful. These people can silently poison the atmosphere of a happy developer community. Come learn how to identify these people and peacefully de-fuse them before they derail your project. Told through a series of (often amusing) real-life anecdotes and experiences.</p> </li> <li><p>April 19, 2007 <a href=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5503858974016723264>Release Management in Large Free Software Projects</a> - Martin Michlmayr (Debian)</p> <p>ABSTRACT: Time based releases are made according to a specific time interval, instead of making a release when a particular functionality or set of features have been implemented. This talk argues that time based release management acts as an effective coordination mechanism in large volunteer projects and shows examples from seven projects that have moved to time based releases: Debian, GCC, GNOME, Linux, OpenOffice, Plone, and X.org.</p> </li> </ul> <!-- http://video.google.com/url?docid=-4285568518538296189 One Laptop Per Child Apr 12, 2007 http://video.google.com/url?docid=2728972720932273543 Ubuntu Linux, Nov 9, 2006 http://video.google.com/url?docid=-3733345136856180693 How To Design a Good API and Why it Matters http://video.google.com/url?docid=-6283435552434112856 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-964034174560775429 Chris DiBona http://video.google.com/url?docid=-6283435552434112856 The surprising history of copyright and what it means to Google. http://video.google.com/url?docid=-5105910452864283694 Competing on the basis of speed. http://video.google.com/url?docid=4640463281465283349 Mobiles, the digital divide, and google. http://video.google.com/url?docid=4740557046246483319 Artificial general intelligence http://video.google.com/url?docid=-3857739359956666768 The internet of things: what is a Spime http://video.google.com/url?docid=-6972678839686672840 A new way to look at Networking http://video.google.com/url?docid=6765603919277760697 Camino http://video.google.com/url?docid=-7910406883328902493 Agile retrospectives: making good teams great http://video.google.com/url?docid=-4356347903120410001 Deconstructing the xbox security system http://video.google.com/url?docid=2159021324062223592 Everything is Miscellaneous http://video.google.com/url?docid=1996321846673788606 Should Google go nuclear? http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6856727143023456694 Death of the desktop (UI design) Python: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1135114630744003385 http://video.google.com/url?docid=7760178035196894549 http://video.google.com/url?docid=-288473283307306160 http://video.google.com/url?docid=1189446823303316785 http://video.google.com/url?docid=-872784530622495809 Fedora maintainer at Ohio Linuxfest: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1318831731168168936 His blog is: http://spevack.livejournal.com/ --> </html>
