Code Retreat: The code retreat will be a series of pairing sessions repeated through out the day. We will pair to solve a problem, discuss about what we learned, add some constraints, then pair with someone else to improve and share our learning. You don't have to be an expert nor a novice. The only requirement is that you are eager to learn and to share your knowledge with others who are there.

Talk: The Art of Simplicity by Venkat Subramaniam

Abstract for the talk: We've been told to keep things simple. It turns out, that's easily said than done. Creating something simple is, well, not really that simple. If simple was sitting next to us, would we even recognize it? Is my design simple, is yours simple? How can we tell? That's a simple question, but the answer to it is... well come to this talk to find out.
