Grace Hotel , Kiralee or Pinaroo Function Room77 York stSydney,NSW. 2000
Omar has been a coder since he can remember! BASIC, PASCAL, COBOL, JAVA, .NET and alien languages unknown to human kind. From being a Computer Science student to Microsoft’s .NET ambassador to .NET consultant and then Enterprise Architect at Datacom, Omar has enjoyed every step of the journey one line of code at a time. Omar has worked through ASP.NET, Windows Forms, WPF, SharePoint, BizTalk, TFS and CRM projects and considers himself a Microsoft technologies veteran. He was also a speaker at TechEd events and various other MS events and user groups in Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairo and Dubai. Omar enjoys working across multiple projects at once and his motto is “Power to the Developers”. He spends his day throwing more architectural tasks on fellow architect Paul Glavich instead of doing it himself. If you want to annoy him just say web applications are better than rich client ones.

With the growth of internet-enabled mobile devices, conference goers are expecting easy access conference information. Conference organisers are forced to make a decision on how they provide their attendees with this experience. Some conferences develop native applications, such as the MIX iPhone app. Others, such as Web Directions, opt for mobile-enabled websites. This redundant development is costly and often a last-minute exercise. Let’s stop reinventing the wheel. After all, the only reason to reinvent the wheel is to learn more about wheels. The Open Conference Protocol is the plumbing we need to start delivering reusable conference applications across the full spectrum of platforms. Built on top of existing formats, conference organisers now have a documented and agreed format for providing their data to application developers. Now anybody can build their preferred conference experience, for their preferred platform, with easy access to the data. In this presentation, protocol co-creator Aaron Powell will provide the background to the protocol, discuss its implementation and review the API ecosystem evolving around it.

Aaron is an ASP.NET developer with a thing for Content Management Systems and Open Source software. Aaron is one of the core contributors to the Umbraco CMS open source project initially responsible for developing LINQ to Umbraco. As well as contributing to Umbraco he contributes on a number of other open source projects. Most recently he was involved in the Open Conference Protocol.
