    It would be absurd if your wife (a fellow geek) needed to be reminded of your website URL. :)

                            I don't think they're up yet (though slides from some sessions are[^]) In the meantime however there are summaries of all of the sessions here[^] to give you a flavour of what the conference is all about.
