Description:	Software is a human construct and like everything we make it eventually falls into disrepair. Houses get mould, vermin infestations, and frightening old wiring. Software projects get equivalents of these, albeit a few decades faster. This talk is about the experience of doing a major renovation on a software relic: the Cyrus IMAP server. Fastmail (now Opera Software Australia) has been using Cyrus commercially to provide an IMAP interface to an email store for years now, and over the last year has significantly contributed to a resurgent effort to modernise the code and rejuvenate the community. The author works fulltime on this project and has both observed and contributed. Topics will include: introducing modern software engineering practices like Continuous Integration, making testing happen, attracting a developer community, a practical guide on how to find and fix outdated coding practices (a.k.a. bugs waiting to happen), and an introduction to paleoentomology. All illustrated with real world examples. If your organisation depends on ancient software in need of revitalising, or if you're just looking for some spare time Open Source work to keep your hand in, come to this talk and get some practical tips and a laugh or two. markdown
