S.O.L.T. is in its second year at OSCON. For SOLT, we give each open source project 5 minutes to describe what they are currently up to. The idea is to give OSCON attendees, in 90 minutes, a snapshot of the state of open source projects across the community. Join us -- it's fast and fun, and you can cheer and boo your favorite projects. You'll laugh, you'll cry, it'll be better than Cats. Greg & Madeline's presentation is especially not to be missed.
