We have a three-way tie for our favorite: the Dave Robbins T-Shirt picture, the Eric Drucker/Tim Hall buddy picture, and the Tom Dillon Tattoo picture.

Lots and lots of pictures |
In a somewhat logical order, here are lots and lots of pictures taken at the conference by us, Larry Hagood, and Jim Redfield. The Thursday Night Pilgrimage to Benihana While waiting for sushi and sake, a rowdy group stops for a photo. From the left are Gary Brocks, Basil Bourque, Everett Goodenough, and Geoff Perlman. We were particularly amused at the half-hour-long debate about the virtues of Teri Garr -- it seems that certain Seattle-based developers have a particularly intense admiration for her. We pose for a highly-amusing shot of ourselves in a Benihana chef's hat with the real Chef Dan. There was a group chuckle when Dan wryly replied "Microwave" after someone asked "Who does the cooking at home?" Miscellaneous Pictures from the Summit Chuck Sprague, Joy Schaefer, and Karen Green pose for this group photo. Becky Grasser, Bryan Green, and Tod Gentille smile big for the camera. Nick Barcet explains the finer points of TCP/IP and 4th Dimension to an interested crowd. Chris Grim extols the real-world virtues of Java and 4D in Dave Robbins' presentation. David Robbins gestures to the crowd during his Java-to-4D presentation. Eric Drucker (left) and Tim Hall stop for a buddy picture. Dave Dell'Aquila enlightens the audience about object-oriented programming and 4th Dimension in his presentation. [Editor's note: the picture is a bit dark, but we just had to get a picture of Dave's daring olive-green blazer. Plus, his was our tied-for-favorite class.] Dean Tucker (left), Walt Nelson (of Seattle), and John Newhoff pause for the camera. Geoff Perlman demonstrates inter-workstation TCP/IP communication in his presentation. Dave Robbins displays the DataCraft T-Shirt he ironically won at the Saturday lunchtime raffle. Brendan Coveney (left), Ernie Hilgers, and Doug Hall stop long enough for a picture after hotly debating the finer points of the "Evening with (good) ACI." Stacy Alabardo of Cline, Davis, and Mann (left) and John Steele of Foresight Technology reveal their photogenic selves. Oh-Hyun Kang of Soonchunhyang University in Korea made it all the way to Denver for the Summit and this picture. A crowd shot of summit attendees. Are you in this picture? Gordon Muirhead (left), Ron Dell'Aquila, Doris Beaulieu, and Larry Sharpe humor us for a group shot. Robert Broussard (left), Raj Bose, and Diana Nemirovsky (the Queen of Atherton) smile for this picture. Sharon Miller (left), Pam Dazey, John Sheets, and Greg Law give a grin for this photo/ Nick Barcet, Christos Pistofidis, and Olivier Flury represent possibly the most international group photo so far. They are from, in order, France, Greece, and Switzerland. The Dan and Dave Show amuses the crowd. From left are Dan Beckett and David Adams. This was one of the most popular presentations at the Summit. Peter Schumacher and Rich Gay have a quiet conversation during a lull in the conference. Wayne Carlson addresses the assembled crowd from behind his bully pulpit. Tod Gentille demonstrates his software to an interested group. A cadre on Friday night stops long enough for us to get a round-table picture. From the left are Wayne Blinne, Dan Katz, Robin Collier, Linda Haverty, and Anita Hudson. Tim Casey, Julie Pound, and Dave Batton pause for a group shot. Wayne Carlson (left) and Mark Yelich on stage together. The prize: the Summit CD, as produced by Steve Hussey. Snow pictures A still life shot of some of the icicles hanging from the hotel windows. A Currier-and-Ives shot of the snow. A more sinister picture of the snow's less-than-convenient side-effects. A group of three tough developers laugh at the snow. From the left are Mark Rowland, Doug Hall, and Dan Ivy. The Saturday Night Party Scene John Steele looks for the secret toy surprise inside a bag of Doritos, but isn't quite sure what he'll find. Pierre LeBlanc and Mark Yelich sit on the floor of the DataCraft suite, discussing the finer points of the conference. It's a pity that there not visible in this photo, but Pierre's socks have the cutest little roses embroidered on them... A happy group pauses for a photo. From the left are Julie Pound, Tom Dillon, Yoshiaki Takahashi, Toshihide Tanaka, Hiroshi Kadoya, and Peter Schumacher. Note Yoshi's special bow tie for the occasion. Tom Dillon teases Doug Blew about his just-revealed birthday the day before -- Karen Green organized a sing-along of "He's a Jolly Good Fellow" for the extemporaneous event. Three revelers from the DataCraft suite: Don Siegrist, Marcus Evans, and Raj Bose. Note how freely the beer is flowing at this party... Another group pauses for a picture. From the left are Chuck Sprague, Tad Wheeler, Mike Erickson, Adrienne Coerper, and Chris Cypert. Note Mike holding one of the prized Automated Solutions Group's water bottles. [Editor's note: Hey, we were happy with the one we won at the raffle!] Whoops! Looks like the hotel management very politely asked the party in the DataCraft suite to move somewhere else after politely asking them to keep it down once before... this note explains where to go for more beer. After the party moved to the opulent 11th-floor Softek suite, we have only one more photo of the Saturday night party scene that we will publish out of respect for our friends. A few have been sent to individuals privately, including Chuck "driving the porcelain bus" S. We call this photo Saturday Night Still Life at the Softek Suite. Oh What a Beautiful (Sunday) Morning An early-morning panorama of the beautiful morning. Another early-morning vista of the Denver skyline. Bad boy Tom Dillon pauses for this morning-after picture. We wonder after how many beers that A4 tattoo appeared? | |||
