MAIN TOPIC ABSTRACT
Mule ESB - Integration Simplified

This talk introduces a mature open source product called Mule ESB that can greatly simplify your integration projects - especially when you have eCommerce or portal applications that need to talk with several legacy back-end and/or partner services like Google Checkout, PayPal, Amazon, etc. With an elegant, but simple and understandable architecture, Mule can provide an excellent foundation for your next integration project. Not only can it speak all the basic protocols (JMS, HTTP/S, FTP, Email, JDBC, File, etc.) out of the box, but it comes with a rich set of features for web services, message routing, transformation and transaction management. Topics discussed include: messaging patterns, service endpoints, routing, transformation, & protocol bridging. And, yes, you will see some code in action!

BASIC CONCEPTS ABSTRACT
Video Editing w/ Blender

While Blender can do some amazing animation and visual masterpieces, many people don't know that it also has a lot of other capabilities related to, but not specific to animation. One of these capabilities is it's video sequence editor (VSE). While Blender's VSE takes a bit of getting used to, it is a very capable tool (one of the most capable open source video editors) for cutting, cropping, moving, fading, compositing and transitioning video together whether a home movie captured from your mini-DV camcorder or a full length feature film in HD. Coupled with a few other open source tools like FFMPEG, Gimp and Inkscape, it's all you really need to edit and render a professional video project together. This is the first of a series of Basic Concepts presentations drilling into the specific features of Blender.
