Wow, new revelations..
by rajan r on Mon 19th Aug 2002 06:39 UTC

Compared between KDE ( http://spud.osnews.com/osnews/img/1560/lw1.jpg ) and GNOME's ( http://spud.osnews.com/osnews/img/1560/lw15.jpg ), I'll say the guy in the GNOME booth looks more sleepy. Poor guys. Notice the GNOME booth also uses an outdated logo...

Also notice Microsoft's booth is right next to the restrooms ( http://spud.osnews.com/osnews/img/1560/lw11.jpg ).......

There also seems to be more people at AMD's booth ( http://members.csolutions.net/zayda/osnews/img/1560/lw6.jpg ) than in Intel's booth ( http://members.csolutions.net/zayda/osnews/img/1560/lw3.jpg ). I also see the Yes Intel thingy is also infecting that part of the globe too...

This booth looks the most impressive: http://members.csolutions.net/zayda/osnews/img/1560/lw7.jpg

The Gnome guy showing in the pic is a Ximian employee. Sorry, can't remember his name.

No, the Ms booth was far away from the restrooms. It is just the picture that shows it closer.

I wish you did not put there all these unessasery links though. You could refer to the pictures by booth name.

Sorry, :-p. It is easier though for people reading my comment to check back on the picture.

But I'm suprise at the size of the booths... for the amount of money they rented it for.

"Notice the GNOME booth also uses an outdated logo..."

Hmm, I'm wondering what the "2" stands for on the KDE logo then. ;)
Too bad that there are no names of people, that would be more interesting to me than seeing the booths (which aren't really impressive anyway ;) ).

Restrooms? What's wrong with toilet? You Americans are so pretentious but I suppose it's no worse than WC.

It's interesting that theor booth has the words "community" "interoperability" "flexibility" written on it. I think they missed out the word "Irony" though.

Sorry, can never remember names... I had a notepad with me, but didn't use it much. I only wrote down Tim Ney's name and email address from the Gnome Project, when we talked. Good man.

> I looked and looked but didn't see Eugenia in any of the pics!

Yeah, it happens that I can't shoot myself, while holding the camera. ;)
Check here for a very recent pic of me at my office if you want:

Heh, thanks for sharing the pic Eugenia. You'd think that male geeks at a tech expo like LinuxWorld would be tripping over themselves to offer to take a girl's photo for her. ;)

nice reading

I like it...

SUSE?
by Alex on Tue 20th Aug 2002 21:40 UTC

Are there any pictures of the SUSE booth?

KDE's banners are ALWAYS outdated. It was like just months ago they did away with KDE 1 banners...
