[Opensim-dev] OpenSimulator Community Conference Announces Keynote Speaker Grady Booch

[Fleep Tuque]

Hi all,

Wanted to share this announcement from the conference planning team today:

Organizers are delighted to announce that *world-renowned computer
scientist Grady Booch* will deliver a keynote address at the first annual
OpenSimulator Community Conference.  Grady’s keynote address, entitled *My
Virtual Life*, will reflect on a quote from Joseph Campbell, who observed
that, “One has to know how and when to put on and to put off the masks of
one’s various life roles.”

Grady is internationally recognized for his innovative work in software
architecture, software engineering, and modeling, and is perhaps best known
for developing the Unified Modeling Language (UML) with Ivar Jacobson and
James Rumbaugh and helping originate the term and practice of
object-oriented programming and design.  An IBM Fellow, ACM Fellow, IEEE
Fellow, and recipient of the BCS Lovelace Medal and Turing Lecture, Grady
is the author of numerous best-selling books and technical papers,
including the *UML Users Guide* and the seminal *Object-Oriented Analysis
with Applications*.
