  6:30pm - 9:00pm

The topic will be:

  Blogging & Journaling
  presented by: Brad Whitaker, LiveJournal & Frank Precissi, DeadJournal

    A weblog ("blog") is a web-based publishing tool, most often used
    for personal journals or diaries, but which have also been used by
    arms of political campaigns, media programs and corporations.
    Blogs can be the writing of one occasional author, or the collaboration
    of a large community of writers.  Many logs enable visitors to leave
    public comments, which can lead to a community of readers centered
    around the blog, while others are non-interactive.

    LiveJournal.com is a simple-to-use (but extremely powerful and
    customizable) blogging tool built on open source software.
    DeadJournal.com presents itself as a darker alternative to the
    world of LiveJournal.

    Brad Whitaker of LiveJournal and Frank Precissi of DeadJournal will
    present a technical overview of blogging and journaling, and then
    discuss the in-house open source software that LiveJournal developed
    to meet their growth needs.  They'll also discuss how the LiveJournal
    product can be used in other enviornments (e.g., corporations, or
    sites such as DeadJournal).
