Hey everyone... YS is trying something new this year.  They've create a set of seminars called Open Source (this is one of them) and the idea is that you can contribute to the content of the session by editing this page or posting comments.  I've posted a rough outline below of what I was initially thinking of covering.  I look forward to your feedback and making this session tailored to those of you that plan on attending.

Thanks,

-john
