TBD: BE INQUISITIVE, SHARE AND INSPIRE by Sam Aaron, Jeremy Ruston & Robert Virding ABSTRACT In many conversations and talks given after the late Joe Armstrong retired, he rarely talked about Erlang, and instead focused on the different expressions of the ideas that had driven it: models of concurrency based on the realities of physics, the importance of self contained code and applications, and perhaps most important of all, the importance of designing by prototyping. For this special keynote, one of Erlang’s co-inventors and the creators of Sonic Pi and TiddlyWiki reflect on what they have learned while collaborating with Joe. Read the full abstract: — THE SPEAKER - SAM AARON Creator of Sonic Pi Sam Aaron is a live coder, educator and researcher. He was the lead developer of Overtone and Quil – Clojure-based projects for the expression of sound and image. More recently he has created Sonic Pi – a live programming environment for creating music from code with a focus on education.

He has worked at several startups, an investment bank, and enjoyed a stint as Head of Open Source Innovation at BT plc after his previous company was acquired by them. Jeremy is the creator of TiddlyWiki (""a hypertext card index system from the future""), and has led the community for nearly 15 years. His passion is building tools that extend the capabilities of individuals and groups.

While at Ericsson AB, Robert was one of the original members of the Ericsson Computer Science Lab, and co-inventor of the Erlang language. He took part in the original system design and contributed much of the original libraries, as well as to the current compiler. While at the lab he also did a lot of work on the implementation of logic and functional languages and on garbage collection. He has also worked as an entrepreneur and was one of the co-founders of one of the first Erlang startups (Bluetail). Robert also worked a number of years at the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) Modelling and Simulations Group. He co-authored the first book (Prentice-Hall) on Erlang, and is regularly invited to teach and present throughout the world.
