* X Marks the Spot: Applying OpenStreetMap to the High Seas
The United States has a treasure trove of nautical charts in digital form, including plots of shipwrecks, navigation buoys, coastal and river depths, and other fine booty. OpenStreetMap is an open source, open format collaborative project for building a free map of the world. Join this session to find out more of the marine secrets of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), OpenSeaMap's plans to extend OSM to the high seas, and splicing the two (and your mainbrace) together. We'll use the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL), OGR, Python, and the OSM API.

Proposals for this sessiontype
* Security vs Usability vs Privacy
Within five years from now the internet as we know it will end.
Freedom will no longer be a right, as it will be only available to those who know
how to conceal themselves. The media landscape will have changed as well.
But there is hope. For every step one takes towards Security one risks loosing
out on privacy and usability.
But there is hope.
