I've been here in Berlin all week at the OpenSolaris Developer Conference run 
by the German Unix User Group. It was an excellent event, and a first for the 
OpenSolaris community because Sun didn't run the show. The presentations were 
very good and so was the community participation. Hopefully, this will become 
an annual event that travels to other cities in Europe.

Hi Jim,

Is there any information to explain who the people are who are
predominately featured in your pictures?  While a picture is worth a 1,000
words, a picture of an OpenSolaris presenter without a name is not very
useful?

Hi ...

It may be easier to look at the images in flickr than in my blog:

Excellent - many Thanks Jim.  I got a heads up from Martin (martux)
Bochnig earlier and it was great to see his photo along with others I've
worked with on OpenSolaris like Roland Mainz and Moinak Ghosh.


Yep, it was a pleasure meeting him and all the others we have digital relationships with. Heck, I walked right into Joerg and didn't even recognize him at first! :)


I really appreciate you efforts in taking these photos and making them
available.  One idea I thought about would be to use a long zoom lens and
followup one picture with a close-up of the persons name badge.  But then
it would be more work to post edit and combine the images... Just an idea.


Yes, that is a good idea. I have a bigger lens which makes that easier, but I didn't bring it this time. Instead, I used a little 19-35mm because it's small, wide, and light. But if you want to get up close you really have to get /physically/ close to your subject and sometimes that's more difficult. As it is, I'm using a million year old Canon EOS D30, which is like carrying around a brick, and the big lenses only make it worse. The camera is on its last legs, though, so it's getting time for a new -- and light -- camera. :)

Jim
