I have just uploaded my OSBC West 2006 photos to Flickr. Most of the photos were taken at The 451 Group Open Source | Open House reception following the conference.
There is also a tag on Flickr for additional OSBC West 2006 photos.
I’ve been lucky with the press so far - no major misquotes. As the author of articles for monthly publications, I have the time to check quotes with my interviewees prior to publication. Unfortunately, for a web publication with daily deadlines, this is not practical. Hence, I have been misquoted.

I wanted to provide a simple, easy-to-use, guide with an associated calculator. The outcome was a 30+ page report entitled, “Understanding the Financial Benefits of Open Source”. JBoss licensed the work for distribution [...]

The deal closed earlier this week, I am told, and that the timing of the public announcement is to upstage BEA’s quarterly earnings call.

I was catching up with Bob Bickel, VP of Strategy for JBoss at OSBC on Tuesday night. I didn’t even bother asking him about the Oracle rumors - there are plenty of sources to troll for that information, and Bob isn’t one of them. While we were talking, Gavin Clarke, freelance journalist from the Register [...]
Rachel Chalmers, a fellow analyst at The 451 Group, did an excellent job at moderating this evening’s OSBC Town Hall Meeting (and I’m not just saying this because I have the pleasure of working with her now - she is a class act.)
Some of my favorite quotes from the meeting…
Regarding the possibility that Oracle has [...]
I’m taking a lunch break from OSBC at the Argent Hotel in downtown San Francisco, CA. I have the luxury of working from an office only one block from the venue (The 451 Group SF office).
Matt Asay opened the conference with a clip from Monty Python and Holy Grail, comparing the threat of open source [...]
