This conference will touch all aspects of the poppler library. Ranging from a explanation about the origin of the name, to how poppler got created as a freedesktop project passing by why it was decided to use xpdf 3.0 code as the base for it. Other interesting topics will be why it was necessary to create it and all the features poppler has over xpdf and the plans of future.
