DESCRIPTION:Description: One chink in the armor of Linux's desktop user experience is top-to-bottom integration: the cohesiveness of the kernel and core system with the upper rungs of the desktop environment.  This is evident in a lack of seamless hardware management in Linux.  While current Linux kernels support automatic module loading\, hotplugging\, and plug-and-play\, the desktop is woefully unaware of hardware events and must resort to polling in the few situations where it desires to understand hardware.  All of that is changing.\nSpeaker(s): Robert Love; \nTrack: Linux\nRoom: Salon F

With Smarty and some guidance\, Elmendorf shows how to break this cycle\, and most importantly how to get web designers out of your code.\nSpeaker(s): Dirk Elmendorf; \nTrack: PHP\nRoom: Salon B
