BoF: Managing Programmers & Deep Coder
Christian Ratliff
writes "The session called "Help I Have to Manage Programmers" was moderated by the redoubtable John Moody (blog). He did a great job keeping the previous discussion on track, and this session covered material far more incindiary showing him at his best. There was a lot of great exchange of ideas. I talked about using Evo to help improve estimation on developer-by-developer basis and to manage short-horizon planning. Another guy shared his planning and management tactic..."
Creating Partial Trust Directories
Shawn Farkas
writes "Last night at the Writing Partial Trust Code BoF, someone was wondering if they could create a sort of download sandbox on their machine. The problem that we're trying to solve is to be able to save code to the local machine from the browser instead of just pressing run.

PDC05: DirectX Birds of a feather Session
ZMan
writes "Firstly thanks to all those who showed up. It was Monday evening so there are a lot of people not there yet, or who have recently just arrived. We still had 35 attendees. Sadly since the DirectX sessions are not until Thursday I was limited to what I could say about DirectX10. David was there to make sure I didn't violate any NDAs. I thought I was pretty cool wearing my GDC 05 t-shirt until it was pointed out to me that there was a big play station logo on the back...
