My photo gallery from LinuxWorld Conference and Expo
AbiSource was in booth #1436 at LinuxWorld Conference and Expo in early March 1999. We took a whole bunch of pictures with a Sony Mavica (cool camera, BTW).
The pix are divided into multiple pages now, by day. Each page is a collection of thumbnails -- click on the thumbnail to see the full size image.
Awards
The day started off with an awards ceremony for show favorites in a number of categories. Somehow we didn't win anything. This is the last time I let anyone else run the "get out the vote" campaign!

CmdrTaco and Hemos won the award in their category by a landslide. |

That's VA's Larry Augustin accepting his award. |
And that would be VA's Larry Augustin accepting his other award. |

Group shot. Is everyone ready yet? |
All the winners. Look at all those suits! |
Out and About
I spent most of the day Wednesday wandering the show floor, meeting and greeting.
The guys from egenic.com had awesome yoyos! |

Cute little GNOME, eh? |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Now that is one big penguin. |

A box with dual Alphas? Drool. |
 |

So that's why he's called Mad Dog! |

Me, Raster, and the Harley |
This picture doesn't change anything. I am not a bug, I'm an Insectal American. |

Got slack? |
How 'bout some FreeBSD? |
 |
The nice people at Corel made me feel very welcome. ;-) |
They showed me the source. And in LISP no less! Too bad the screen got washed out. |

Red Hat Party
Wednesday night we went to the Red Hat party at The Bankers Club. Cool party.
This shot is me with one of the dancers. |
 |
 |
That's me and Bob Young of Red Hat. I'm pretty sure the guy standing right behind me is Michael Tiemann of Cygnus. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
It's too bad -- the camera's flash is reflecting off the smoke on the dance floor, so this is a very poor shot. Nonetheless, if you look closely, you'll see Eric Raymond dancing. Sorry this picture is so bad -- believe me, seeing it in person was priceless. |

 |
Blush. |

Red Hat sprang for desserts galore. You could even feed my family on this spread. |

This shot is a picture of AbiSource founder Eric Sink, in the Conga line. Eric is very glad that this picture was accidentally taken with the lens cap on. :-) |

That's Federico Mena (GNOME dude) and Chris Lahey (the GO word processor). |

On the right, you can see a rare glimpse of AbiSource' Mark Smith. His daughter will be so pleased. :-) |
