Ohio LinuxFest 2006 Photos - page 1 2 3 4

Today (2006-09-30), I attended Ohio LinuxFest 2006 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, OH. This year's event had even more people than last year. Just before the lunch break they announced that there were nearly 1000 registered attendees who had checked in that morning. I was not able to stay for the evening keynote, so I did not get the final tally. There were many good presentations again this year. Rich Bowen was there again and gave another great presentation about Apache.

I also attended last year and took pictures. I did not repeat the pictures of outside the convention center. You can take a look at last year's pictures (page 1 & page 2), if you like.

The small pictures are 512x384 and the large pictures are 1024x768 and open in a new window (if you have JavaScript enabled). If you would like the original 7MP images, please email me. I have not posted them here because they are in the range of 2.1 MB to 2.8 MB each.

Also, if you have any more creative captions, or if you can identify any of the unidentified individuals, please email me.

Apparently Jeff Waugh was supposed to give the morning keynote, but his flight from Australia was delayed, so Chris DiBona was called in to pinch hit.
