Open Source Conference Tokyo pics
Sunday, October 5th, 2008 by ZonkerOne of the things I’ve been trying to do this trip is to take plenty of pictures. I’ve been uploading stuff to Flickr like crazy, haven’t had a chance to caption and comment on all the photos yet, but the images are there (from the trip so far).
This is Satoru Matsumoto, an openSUSE member and one of the people working hard on openSUSE in Japan.
That’s Ayako Kiryu, one of my colleagues from Novell, who helped organize much of this trip.
You can see the slideshow of OSC photos or just head to the set on Flickr. Sun’s Jim Grisanzio was kind enough to come to my talk on Saturday, he grabbed a few shots of my talk and also of the conference at large.
That would be me. Check out the rest of Jim’s slideshow from the conference, though, his pics are fantastic. You can debate the relative merits of OpenSolaris and openSUSE, but the fact that Jim’s camera skills outpace mine by a country mile are beyond debate.
I’ve also got a larger set of photos from Japan that may or may not be of interest. Usually, when I go somewhere new, I come away with a few photos that I really think capture the visit, but this time I haven’t succeeded yet in getting one really good picture. I should find the time for a photography class in the near future… definitely before I come back to Japan!
That’s a scene from the temple I visited on Sunday while sightseeing.
More on the trip to come, but I thought I’d put up some pics for those of you who always comment “where are the pictures!”






Nice huge Geeko, and Geeko with family too ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/jimgris/2912355796/ ). Did you consider to sell them on SUSE Shop?
Zonker,
I’m curious – how did the participation by women in Tokyo compare to events you’ve attended in other countries (specifically the US) this year?
Don’t bash your photograph skills, they’re sufficient to get an impression what was going on
