this is about as empty as the GNOME.conf.au room ever got. And this was *before* anything started.

Havoc setting up for his presentation about all sorts of stuff through interpretive dance.

nice and relaxed Havoc giving a talk while taking a seat in front of the great techno chalkboard that GNOME.conf.au got. (what you can't see now is that the room is *packed*). Standing room only. For a ONE DAY miniconf, that only really got advertised REAL SOON before the conf. wow.

jdub giving his intro of "hi, welcome, here's Havoc." Technically the 2nd time i heard this as he said it while we were walking to the room.... notice that how in this photo, you can not reliably tell if he is actually wearing pants....

funky little dude thing on screen - can't remember what it's called, but it's cool.

"The Face of Sun Microsystems" (look up previous talks by Jeff "jdub" Waugh) unpacking Sun Java Desktop System Demo CDs.

not a photo of himself, this cunning marketing trick implies that other people use your software

people enter GNOME.conf.au *so* fast it appears as a blur! (oh, and Linus is there down the front, next to Keith Packard)

Keith talking about making X not suck for the modern desktop. He's doing cool things and fixing things to make them better - and as proof of this, XFree86 won't have a bar of it - hence the freedesktop.org X stuff.
