Sessions I attended or would like to learn from

Hackathon all Wednesday and Thursday. I struggled to get started and integrated but
hooked up with "revision scoring" project, and did some of it -- potentially useful for monitoring for vandalism, categorizing work flow, more potentially; met AI developer User:とある白い猫
Training on Quarry at 10am which was wonderful -- Quarry can run SQL queries on the nearly-live Wikipedias; it's (here or here); shared notes on the session
Demo of extension:Graph which can create graphs on-wiki from numbers in the wikitext -- looks great -- demonstration
evening Welcome reception

10am Unifying global user accounts by Foundation developer User:Legoktm -- it was very challenging and took years and took guts; I've got notes
Speeding up Visual editor, presented by Ori and Roan: it's largely in JavaScript/jQuery; HHVM is an underlying platform for processing PHP fast (I think) and didn't work perfectly for a while ; they had special attention from Paul Irish of google/chrome, a performance expert; VisualEditor pushes the boundaries of what had been done; they made many tweaks; Varnish/RESTbase, jQuery limits; chrome's developer tools were the best, and it is often fastest running Javascript, details are in my notes
