DESCRIPTION:In a corner of the industry where an institution of government
  contractors and political pressure rules\, what happens when the wrong pe
 rson builds the right thing\, an unsanctioned structure with unsanctioned 
 resources\, when institution isn't watching? In this session\, you'll hear
  about a bored Navy wife butting up against a wartime IT support strategy 
 that involved two Excel spreadsheets and a phone. You'll hear about what s
 he discovered while she built solutions: iterative development as natural 
 evolution in broken systems\, open source as a legitimate response to bloa
 ted enterprise solutions\, frustration and constraint as motivators\, and 
 the innovation that emerges when a witch with an old Linux box and time on
  her hands has nothing to lose.
