Oracle Open World, to be precise, 35,000+ users of "Enterprise" (i.e. expensive) server software. I was there too, speaking and blogging. Some shots: One of the plenaries: http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2009/10/13/-big/PS086543.jpg The inside of an IBM mainframe: http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2009/10/14/-big/PS086594.jpg Spooky part of the trade-show floor: http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2009/10/14/-big/PS086618.jpg Write-up, probably only of interest to people who know what Oracle is: http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2009/10/14/OOW-Take-aways Those shots are all with the Sigma 30mm f1.4, which I've had real trouble getting comfy with.
