Jim,
thanks for sharing the photos. I fully agree with you that Martin's presentation was best and most entertaining, but Simon's keynote was remarkable, too, since he illustrated that companies and communities truly can benefit from OpenSource which is a great thing.

"In software, ideas are expressed in code.
The
implementation
is the
idea. If an idea has not been
implemented, it is premature to call it an 'idea' -- it
is rather a notion, a daydream or perhaps a fancy. If one has such
a thought, the first order of business is not to send out proposals or
give speeches or navigate through process but rather to sit down and
write some code: build a prototype, share it with some like-minded
people, incorporate their feedback, expand the community and iterate.
If one does this and one's ideas are sound,
the process naturally follows; people naturally
gravitate to good ideas."
"Having
your voice listened to is a privilege, not a right, and it's a
privilege that's earned in proportion to the contribution level, not
volume level."
Also it was nice to see you in Berlin and listen stories about Japan! Well done :)
