Hi all,
This is the second and last message I get to send to cocoa-dev regarding
ADHOC 2005. I hope you find this info useful, and e-mail me directory
if you need
any further details.
Thanks a lot for reading!

April 15th is approaching!
Don't Panic!
There's still time to get your early bird registration in for the
Advanced Developers Hands-On Conference (ADHOC), the conference also
known as MacHack. April 15th is the last day to sign up at the
cheapest rates. Of course you can register later, even on site during
the conference July 26 - 31, in Dearborn, Michigan.
We're particularly pleased about the speakers for our midnight
sessions. Not everyone gets to be a midnight session speaker at ADHOC,
not even folks who do Keynotes[tm].
The first midnight Featured Speaker is Jordan Hubbard.
Famous for co-founding the FreeBSD project and being an active
contributor to the Open Source community, Jordan is Apple's manager of
the Darwin (UNIX-based) core of Macintosh OS X. His career focus
pretty well mirrors the range of ADHOC, cutting edge technology that
can be used and expanded on by all.
The second midnight Keynote Speaker is Cory Doctorow.
By day, Cory is the European Affairs Coordinator for the Electronic
Frontier Foundation (eff.org), working to protect civil liberties in
techology law, policies and standards. By night, Cory is an
exceptionally prolific writer, publishing regularly in Wired, Popular
Science and Make magazines, as well authoring science fiction and a
widely read blog <http://www.boingboing.net/>.
And don't fall asleep before our third consecutive Midnight Event, the
world-famous showcase, this year hosted by beloved industry columnist
Andy Ihnatko. You mean you've never heard of the world-famous
showcase?
Are you the sort of person who does six impossible things before
breakfast and then rounds off the morning with lunch at Milliways?
Start the
conference experience off right by using the next 48 hours to write an
incredibly clever program for the ADHOC Showcase. That's right, the
Showcase is coming again, and it's your chance to show the Universe
that you're, well, mostly harmless.
Always wanted to give your computer a Genuine People Personality? Don't
let it be Somebody Else's Problem, join us and you can make it happen!
Although Eddy's in the space time continuum, you can enjoy putting your
skills to the test in Dearborn, Michigan. We're in the unfashionable
end of the Western Spiral Arm of the Galaxy, but the hyperspace bypass
will take you right here. You can work alone, but two heads are better
than one, and three arms are better than two, so create a programming
team and develop wonders such as the universe has never seen. If you do
well, you won't be the first against the wall when the revolution
comes. Don't forget to sign your name in the fjords!
If you are enthusiastic about the technologies you work with, consider
sharing your experiences with other people in the field and host a
session. ADHOC is a conference run by developers for developers.
Example sessions include topics such as: OpenGL programming
techniques, debugging strategies, using OpenSource software
successfully, stressing out graphics cards and cpus with game
programming, the business of making and marketing shareware, encryption
and security schemes, making the leap from Windows to Macintosh
development, or just jumping from Carbon to Cocoa... anything that
might interest engineers is fair game! Please take a look at our
Sessions page at <http://www.adhocconference.com/sessions/> and drop
the committee an e-mail.
The electronic registration page can be found linked from our main
page. Visit the site at <http://www.adhocconference.com/> and we look
forward to seeing you in July!
