Most of the second day was of the more-of-the-same also-ran ilk. I think it's unfortunate that was the case - there was a lot more real-life things that could've been covered. Not in that ilk was Hilton Theunissen's well-presented talk about TSF's Tuxlabs and their volunteer program. While that was going on, five people watched the Tuxlabs server install.

As usual, Oracle missed the whole Open Source boat and focussed on the Linux platform. That's so last season.

Many people were looking forward to the SITA talk, but unfortunately it was fairly flatly delivered, mostly read off the slides. Nothing particularly new was discussed, and anything that was certainly wasn't highlighted.

At the end of the conference day there was an open discussion, which had some reasonable traffic. Unfortunately, some people didn't understand quite how the Open Source community works - that it's really individuals that do the work, and the community builds upon that. And many were just incredibly impatient. This was the topic of discussion amongst a few geeks who've been around for a while now, at drinks after the close of the conference.
