General Talk: Shayne Flint - "OpenMoko: Open Source Alternative to the iPhone"

   Dr Flint will demonstrate the software development kit for the
   OpenMoko "Open Source" mobile phone. While the Apple iPhone has been
   getting media attention, another touch phone has been quietly under
   development by the Linux community and will be first to market in
   Australia. OpenMoko is set to revolutionise mobile communications by
   providing the power of Linux in a hand held touch screen device. Shayne
   will discuss some of the software engineering projects being formulated
   for use with the phones location sensitive and wireless communications
   features.

   Shayne will use the OpenMoko device to demonstrate the ANU's new
   "ANU Mobile" web service, which has just been released.

Technical Talk: Rob Collins - "How to get Performance out of Python with Bzr 
as an Example"
