Oopsla One Zero

OOPSLA is changing as of 2010 -- OOPSLA is becoming SPLASH

SPLASH:

• Isn't just a new name for our favorite conference-SPLASH has a new charter and mission: To bring together practitioners and researchers who are passionate about software, programming, design, and software engineering to explore the frontiers of software and software practice.
• Takes most of its name from OOPSLA: Systems, Programming, Languages, and Applications: Software for Humanity.

OOPSLA:

• Original mission of understanding and promoting objects has been mostly achieved with the pervasive adoption of objects, though is still a lot of work to do there. But
• Has always exceeded its mission-being an engine for innovation and incubating important new ideas related (even remotely) to objects.
• Has helped spawn multiple technologies and conferences including the Unified Modeling Language (UML) MODELS conference, Agile, Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP), Onward!, WikiSym, DesignPatterns and the PatternLanguages of Programs (PLoP) conferences, and the DynamicLanguages Symposium (DLS).
