Rename "conference" folder to "conferences"
Better do it now than later. There is more than one conference listed
and it is a bit off to call it "conference".

-(10:45-11:30) *Simple Jabber - Divide And Conquer XMPP*, Jan Klemkow ([paper](/jan_on_sj.pdf))
-
-> The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol ([XMPP][2]) is like the web. It is
- far too complex to be implemented in one program with the Unix philosophy in mind.
- But like the web, you have to deal with it. It is the only open
- and widely used instant messaging protocol on the internet.
- Its extensibility is the main reason that an implementation in a single
- program is nearly impossible. This talk described an approach to master this problem.

-(11:30-12:00) *Finite state document processing*, Manu Raster
-

-
-(13:00-13:15) Conference fee collection
-
-(13:15-14:15) *UTF-8 everywhere? Writing Unicode compliant software that sucks less*, Laslo Hunhold
-
-> This talk discussed UTF-8 and its history, how and when you have to
- deal with it and which challenges had been faced along the way, evaluating
- its advantages over other character encodings.
- Besides more trivial problems like decoding and encoding, advanced
- issues like string comparison, case conversion and normalization were
- discussed, leading to the conclusion that the POSIX wchar-interfaces
- are broken by design.
- Using suckless principles, problems with the ICU libraries were discussed
- and a midway drawn between total localization and minimalism,
- presenting possible solutions.

-====================
-
-(10:00-10:05) *Welcome*, Anselm R Garbe
-
-> Anselm will open slcon3 talk session
-
-(10:10-10:40) libzahl -- simple bignum arithmetic, Mattias Andrée
-
- Software dependent on algorithms inherently perform
- better the more complex algorithms. Can we despite
- this compete with GNU MP and still have a simple
- solution? This is a discussion about libzahl's design
- and future.
-
-(10:45-11:15) XML damage control, Silvan Jegen
-
- XML is a horrendously abused file format that suffers severely from
- over-engineering. There arguably is one legitimate use case for (a subset
- of) XML however: text markup. In this presentation I will show why that
- is and how to best deal with XML when encountered in such circumstances.
-
- To ease the pain for people like me who have to work with XML every day,
- I will first give an overview of different parsing strategies employed in
- XML libraries and introduce the most bearable APIs of the ones available.
-
- The second part of the presentation is dedicated to the benchmarking of the
- most sensible XML libraries and to the discussion of possible alternative
- parsing approaches as well as their implementation.
-
-(11:20-11:40) Stali Pi B+, Manu Raster
-
- Report on readying Stali for the Raspberry Pi B+ (32 bit). It is
- also a story about monsters and maiden when we take into comparison
- other piles of code (kernels, distros etc.) and their build
- systems. Portability conceptions encountered en route are
- reviewed and ranked from 1 to 3 (depraved, naive and not too bad).
-
-(11:40-12:00) sRGB and colorspace lightening talk, Laslo Hunhold
-
-(12:00-13:00) Lunch break
-
-(13:15-14:10) SCC and QBE for practical compilation, Roberto E. Vargas Caballero
-
- For now decades, we have witnessed a dramatic increase in the complexity
- of compilers. Mainstream compilers have become huge C++ programs that try
- to incorporate all the state-of-the-art research. SCC and QBE propose a
- new approach to compilation where simplicity and predictability prime over
- reckless efficiency. These new design constraints have security benefits
- (as advocated by the "boring crypto" movement) and allow bootstrapping
- new systems more easily.
-
-(14:15-15:15) The Myrddin Programming Language, Ori Bernstein
-
- Myrddin is a programming language that was written for a saner, easier to
- use programming environment that I find more pleasant than C. The language
- lives somewhere between C and ML in design, with parametric polymorphism,
- type inference, closures, and pattern matching. In some ways, it can be
- thought of as a suckless rust.
-
- It also comes with a complete replacement for many standard libraries on a
- number of popular (and less popular) platforms.
-
-(15:20-15:35) ii-like chatting improvements, Jan Klemkow
-
- Since slcon2 I have made several improvements in my ii-like chat
- infrastructure. In this talk I will give an overview of my various
- activities in this area. I will present new features in my UCSPI tool
- chain, a new modular front end 'lchat' and the idea of runit integration.
-
-(15:40-16:10) text engine, Francesc Hervada-Sala
-
- The right approach to software systems was introduced by the Unix programming
- environment over forty years ago with a file system that opened access to data
- across all applications and with a universal interface model based on strings.
- This approach must be deepened. Let us define "text" as the semantic data
- structure that results from parsing strings. Imagine that a software system has
- a "text engine" at its kernel. When you edit a run control file and save it,
- the text engine parses it and stores its parse tree into the central
- repository. When you execute an instruction at the shell, the text engine
- parses the command line and sets all parameters in the repository before
- executing the command. An application retrieves a configuration parameter by
- querying the text engine. In such a system parsers for particular formats or
- languages would not be embedded into particular applications or commands,
- they would be stand-alone software units with the sole purpose of converting
- a string into a semantic representation in the text engine's repository.
- Applications would not have to deal with and not be tied to particular file
- formats and languages, and the user would be able to choose the format or
- language to use for any configuration statement. The user would change the
- name of a file and would not need to adjust all references to it inside
- scripts and other files, because the reference in the repository (say as
- inode) would remain unchanged. To experiment with this new
- approach I am beginning to develop a text engine
-
-(16:10-16:20) Coffee break
-
-(16:20-16:55) Suckless Image Processing, Enric Meinhardt-Llopis
-
- An image is an array of numbers. Since arrays of numbers are
- natively represented in C, this language is well-suited for image
- processing algorithms. Moreover, many complex image processing
- algorithms are pipelines of simple, independent steps. Thus,
- the UNIX programming environment is an ideal platform for image
- processing, where several simple programs written in C share
- information through UNIX pipes. In this talk, we will see many
- examples of simple image processing utilities (blur, local maxima
- detection, interpolation, warping, pointwise algebraic expressions,
- morphological filters, block matching, optical flow, image fusion)
- and how they are naturally combined to perform advanced imaging
- techniques; in the selected example, we show a reflection removal
- method based on the combination of several images. An important
- issue, with far-reaching philosophical consequences, is the data
- format written through the pipes. We explain why the farbfeld image
- format---proposed by the suckless community---is inappropriate in
- general, because of the need to represent negative and floating-point
- pixel values.
-
-(17:00-17:20) shared farbfeld, Jan Klemkow
-
- Farbfeld is a good base for general purpose image processing. The
- tools that have been made so far demonstrate that sophisticated image
- processing can be achieved using cooperative programs. In this talk I
- will present a shared memory interface that speeds up the usage of
- farbfeld tools. Furthermore, I will sketch the architecture of a
- suckless-style Photoshop-like graphical image editor, and present a PoC
- implementation together with some benchmarks.

+(10:45-11:30) *Simple Jabber - Divide And Conquer XMPP*, Jan Klemkow ([paper](/jan_on_sj.pdf))
+
+> The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol ([XMPP][2]) is like the web. It is
+ far too complex to be implemented in one program with the Unix philosophy in mind.
+ But like the web, you have to deal with it. It is the only open
+ and widely used instant messaging protocol on the internet.
+ Its extensibility is the main reason that an implementation in a single
+ program is nearly impossible. This talk described an approach to master this problem.

+(11:30-12:00) *Finite state document processing*, Manu Raster
+
+> Mainstream XML processing techniques wastefully consume time
+ and memory for example in file format conversions popularly
+ known as 'save as...'. This talk presented a less
+ wasteful method based on finite-state transducers.

+
+(13:00-13:15) Conference fee collection
+
+(13:15-14:15) *UTF-8 everywhere? Writing Unicode compliant software that sucks less*, Laslo Hunhold
+
+> This talk discussed UTF-8 and its history, how and when you have to
+ deal with it and which challenges had been faced along the way, evaluating
+ its advantages over other character encodings.
+ Besides more trivial problems like decoding and encoding, advanced
+ issues like string comparison, case conversion and normalization were
+ discussed, leading to the conclusion that the POSIX wchar-interfaces
+ are broken by design.
+ Using suckless principles, problems with the ICU libraries were discussed
+ and a midway drawn between total localization and minimalism,
+ presenting possible solutions.

+suckless conference 2016, Frankfurt/Main, Taunus, Germany
+=========================================================
+
+slcon3 was held near Frankfurt/Main on 2016-09-(23-25).
+
+Registration
+------------
+
+Please note that we will collect a conference fee for the conference room and
+lunch/drink package. If the preliminary schedule sticks to Saturday being the
+only day when we book the conference room, we need to expect around *45 EUR*
+conference fee per person.
+
+Schedule
+--------
+
+Friday, 2016-09-23
+==================
+
+Arrival day.
+
+(19:30) *Welcome* in the Biergarten "XXL Waldgeist", Anselm R Garbe
+
+> We will gather together and check out the XXL Waldgeist.
+
+ Waldgeist Hofheim
+ Schlossstr. 70
+ 65719 Hofheim
+
+ www.derwaldgeist.de
+
+
+Saturday, 2016-09-24
+====================
+
+(10:00-10:05) *Welcome*, Anselm R Garbe
+
+> Anselm will open slcon3 talk session
+
+(10:10-10:40) libzahl -- simple bignum arithmetic, Mattias Andrée
+
+ Software dependent on algorithms inherently perform
+ better the more complex algorithms. Can we despite
+ this compete with GNU MP and still have a simple
+ solution? This is a discussion about libzahl's design
+ and future.
+
+(10:45-11:15) XML damage control, Silvan Jegen
+
+ XML is a horrendously abused file format that suffers severely from
+ over-engineering. There arguably is one legitimate use case for (a subset
+ of) XML however: text markup. In this presentation I will show why that
+ is and how to best deal with XML when encountered in such circumstances.
+
+ To ease the pain for people like me who have to work with XML every day,
+ I will first give an overview of different parsing strategies employed in
+ XML libraries and introduce the most bearable APIs of the ones available.
+
+ The second part of the presentation is dedicated to the benchmarking of the
+ most sensible XML libraries and to the discussion of possible alternative
+ parsing approaches as well as their implementation.
+
+(11:20-11:40) Stali Pi B+, Manu Raster
+
+ Report on readying Stali for the Raspberry Pi B+ (32 bit). It is
+ also a story about monsters and maiden when we take into comparison
+ other piles of code (kernels, distros etc.) and their build
+ systems. Portability conceptions encountered en route are
+ reviewed and ranked from 1 to 3 (depraved, naive and not too bad).
+
+(11:40-12:00) sRGB and colorspace lightening talk, Laslo Hunhold
+
+(12:00-13:00) Lunch break
+
+(13:15-14:10) SCC and QBE for practical compilation, Roberto E. Vargas Caballero
+
+ For now decades, we have witnessed a dramatic increase in the complexity
+ of compilers. Mainstream compilers have become huge C++ programs that try
+ to incorporate all the state-of-the-art research. SCC and QBE propose a
+ new approach to compilation where simplicity and predictability prime over
+ reckless efficiency. These new design constraints have security benefits
+ (as advocated by the "boring crypto" movement) and allow bootstrapping
+ new systems more easily.
+
+(14:15-15:15) The Myrddin Programming Language, Ori Bernstein
+
+ Myrddin is a programming language that was written for a saner, easier to
+ use programming environment that I find more pleasant than C. The language
+ lives somewhere between C and ML in design, with parametric polymorphism,
+ type inference, closures, and pattern matching. In some ways, it can be
+ thought of as a suckless rust.
+
+ It also comes with a complete replacement for many standard libraries on a
+ number of popular (and less popular) platforms.
+
+(15:20-15:35) ii-like chatting improvements, Jan Klemkow
+
+ Since slcon2 I have made several improvements in my ii-like chat
+ infrastructure. In this talk I will give an overview of my various
+ activities in this area. I will present new features in my UCSPI tool
+ chain, a new modular front end 'lchat' and the idea of runit integration.
+
+(15:40-16:10) text engine, Francesc Hervada-Sala
+
+ The right approach to software systems was introduced by the Unix programming
+ environment over forty years ago with a file system that opened access to data
+ across all applications and with a universal interface model based on strings.
+ This approach must be deepened. Let us define "text" as the semantic data
+ structure that results from parsing strings. Imagine that a software system has
+ a "text engine" at its kernel. When you edit a run control file and save it,
+ the text engine parses it and stores its parse tree into the central
+ repository. When you execute an instruction at the shell, the text engine
+ parses the command line and sets all parameters in the repository before
+ executing the command. An application retrieves a configuration parameter by
+ querying the text engine. In such a system parsers for particular formats or
+ languages would not be embedded into particular applications or commands,
+ they would be stand-alone software units with the sole purpose of converting
+ a string into a semantic representation in the text engine's repository.
+ Applications would not have to deal with and not be tied to particular file
+ formats and languages, and the user would be able to choose the format or
+ language to use for any configuration statement. The user would change the
+ name of a file and would not need to adjust all references to it inside
+ scripts and other files, because the reference in the repository (say as
+ inode) would remain unchanged. To experiment with this new
+ approach I am beginning to develop a text engine

+(16:10-16:20) Coffee break

+(16:20-16:55) Suckless Image Processing, Enric Meinhardt-Llopis
+
+ An image is an array of numbers. Since arrays of numbers are
+ natively represented in C, this language is well-suited for image
+ processing algorithms. Moreover, many complex image processing
+ algorithms are pipelines of simple, independent steps. Thus,
+ the UNIX programming environment is an ideal platform for image
+ processing, where several simple programs written in C share
+ information through UNIX pipes. In this talk, we will see many
+ examples of simple image processing utilities (blur, local maxima
+ detection, interpolation, warping, pointwise algebraic expressions,
+ morphological filters, block matching, optical flow, image fusion)
+ and how they are naturally combined to perform advanced imaging
+ techniques; in the selected example, we show a reflection removal
+ method based on the combination of several images. An important
+ issue, with far-reaching philosophical consequences, is the data
+ format written through the pipes. We explain why the farbfeld image
+ format---proposed by the suckless community---is inappropriate in
+ general, because of the need to represent negative and floating-point
+ pixel values.
+
+(17:00-17:20) shared farbfeld, Jan Klemkow
+
+ Farbfeld is a good base for general purpose image processing. The
+ tools that have been made so far demonstrate that sophisticated image
+ processing can be achieved using cooperative programs. In this talk I
+ will present a shared memory interface that speeds up the usage of
+ farbfeld tools. Furthermore, I will sketch the architecture of a
+ suckless-style Photoshop-like graphical image editor, and present a PoC
+ implementation together with some benchmarks.
+
+(17:20-17:30) Display servers, Mattias Andrée
+
+(17:35-18:00) stali learnings and beehive observation, Anselm R Garbe
+
+ Anselm will present his learnings with stali since last slcon2. In
+ particular he will discuss his new goals with stali and reasoning behind why
+ making stali self-bootstrappable is a bad idea. He will also
+ demonstrate stali as platform for observing his beehives.
+
+Official slcon3 talk session end.
