I spent a heady couple of days this week at the Technology@Sun conference. The physical setting
was beautiful and, unusually for this sort of event, the attendees got
to enjoy the out-of-doors a little bit as we strolled between our rooms
and the main building. But even better was the chance to hear from, and
interact with, some very smart and accomplished people (hi Ken!).
We filled four rooms with technical posters, and the organizers built
in plenty of hallway and poster-discussion time. (I know I wasnt the
only one thinking that a little unconferencing next time wouldnt go
amiss.)

Josh Simons, who helped run the event, has more. But hes missing the crucial piece a picture of Mike Splain wearing his official Chief Engineers hat. Oh yeah
