UTOSC 2012 talks of interest

It's been two weeks now since the Utah Open Source Conference for 2012. My fellow End Pointers wrote previously about it: Josh Ausborne about the mini Liquid Galaxy we set up there for everyone to play with, and Josh Tolley with a write-up of his talks on database constraints and KML for geographic mapping markup.
There were a lot of interesting talks planned, and I could only attend some of them. I really enjoyed these:
Rob Taylor on AngularJS
Brandon Johnson on Red Hat's virtualization with oVirt, Spacewalk, Katello, and Aeolus
Daniel Evans on testing web applications with Capybara, embedded WebKit, and Selenium (which End Pointer Mike Farmer wrote about here back in December)
Aaron Toponce on breaking full-disk encryption (I missed this talk, but learned about it from Aaron in the hallway track and his slides afterwards)
Matt Harrison's tutorial Hands-on intermediate Python, covering doctest, function parameters and introspection, closures, function and class decorators, and more.
I gave a talk on GNU Screen vs. tmux, which was fun (and ends with a live demo that predictably fell apart, and audience questions that you can't hear on the recording). Here's the video:

I have a bit more to cover from the conference later!
