That was Berlin Buzzwords 2012

By now Berlin Buzzwords 2012 is over and indeed we can say, that it was a huge sucess:
This year, we had more than 600 international attendees and over 50 speaker (out of more than 120 submissions). As well we had the biggest support ever from our Sponsors and would like to say thank you to all of you again!
We raised the numbers of speakers this year to make sure that we would get even more interesting talks in. To do so, we introduced a new talk format: the 20 minutes talk. So far, we got quite good feedback on this innovation and we probably will have a similar format next year again.
Talking about next year: we are already thinking of how to further refine Berlin Buzzwords in the future. Should we grow it bigger and reach out to more attendees in 2013? Do we want to incorporate a new track (at the moment, we are discussing the importance of data visualisation as well as big data used in science etc.) And we're still wondering how to get more women to Buzzwords – as speaker as well as attendees.
Your thoughts and comments about all this are very welcome! It would be great if you could share them in our wiki - we will try to incorporate that into next years Berlin Buzzwords.
To wrap up Buzzwords 2012:
If you would like to go back to the talks you missed while sitting in another session (or having a kicker match) you can watch the recorded talks of all tracks here.
As well, you can download the slides of the given talks – browse through the sessions here.
And of course, there are many photos of this years Berlin Buzzwords.
It was great to have all of you at Berlin Buzzwords and we are looking forward to seeing you again next year!

Some weeks ago the official Berlin Buzzwords schedule was published: The conference will kick off with a keynote by Leslie Hawthorn on Monday, June 4th. Official talks are scheduled for both, Monday and Tuesday.
However as with previous years it’s advisable to plan some extra time for arriving earlier and leaving later. This is to introduce any additional and complimentary meetups and events that will happen around Berlin Buzzwords this year.
We are planning to have some initial meetups during the weekend before the main conference - right now we are still waiting for official confirmation from all organisers. However we do have the Barcamp confirmed already: Nick Burch is going to again moderate this famous Buzzwords early arrivals institution. This year we are located at c-base Berlin. Register now to reserve a spot at c-base.
Monday and Tuesday are reserved for the main conference sessions. On Monday evening there will be an evening for everyone who owns a Berlin Buzzwords badge. We will arrange for busses to get you to the event location.
During Wednesday, Thursday and Friday there will be meetups/ workshops/ hackathons for you to learn more on Apache HBase, Data Science, parallel processing other than map reduce and more.

Standard Deduction or Itemize? How to Decide Using the IRS Rules
Found 0 image(s):
Every year the same question comes up at filing time. Take the standard deduction, or itemize? Most people never think hard about it, and that’s usually fine. But if you paid a lot of mortgage interest, gave a lot to charity or had big medical bills, it’s worth a few minutes. Here’s how the choice works, using what the IRS says on its own pages.
First, what a deduction does
A deduction lowers your taxable income. That’s different from a credit, which comes off the tax itself. The IRS puts it plainly in Topic 501: individuals can generally take a standard deduction or itemize their deductions. You pick one. You don’t get both.
The standard deduction
The standard deduction is a flat amount. It depends on your filing status: single, married filing separately, married filing jointly, head of household, or qualifying surviving spouse. People who are 65 or older, and … Read 2015 Taxes

IRS Tax Transcripts Explained: Which One You Need and How to Get It
Found 0 image(s):
If you have ever applied for a mortgage, been audited, or had trouble getting a financial aid form to match your return, someone has probably asked you for a tax transcript. Many people confuse a transcript with a copy of their return. They are different documents, and the IRS offers several types. This guide explains what each one shows, which one fits which job, and the ways to get them. All details come from the IRS pages linked at the end.
A transcript is not a photocopy of your return
The IRS is clear on this point. A transcript is a summary of information on file, not a photocopy of what you submitted. If you need an actual copy of your original return, you have to submit Form 4506, Request for Copy of Tax Return, and the form lists the processing time and fee. Transcripts, on the other hand, are … Read 2015 Taxes

How to Set Up an IRS Payment Plan When You Can’t Pay in Full
Found 0 image(s):
Owing the IRS more than you can pay right now is stressful, but it’s also common, and the IRS has a process for it. If you can’t pay your full balance by the deadline, you may be able to spread it out over time with a payment plan, also called an installment agreement. This article walks through the basics of how those plans work, what to know before you apply, and where to find the official details.
File on time, even if you can’t pay
This is the first thing to get straight. According to the IRS, there’s a penalty for failing to file a return and a separate one for failing to pay what you owe. If you can’t pay in full by the original due date, the unpaid balance is subject to interest and a monthly late payment penalty. The IRS says it’s in your best interest to … Read 2015 Taxes

Cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and all those fancy blockchain tokens are shaking up how we think about money—and the taxman wants a piece of the action.
