A string quartet entertains us while we eat and chat (click to enlarge)

I'm sitting in Novell's Open Source Business Center waiting for the Utah Open Source Conference to begin. There's about 250 people registered, so a pretty good sized event as far as regional conferences go.

Tonight is the open reception/dinner (there's a four piece string quartet playing in the corner) and keynotes by Matt Away and Bruce Perens. I'm giving a keynote tomorrow morning and then giving a tutorial on user centric identity and OpenID tomorrow afternoon. There are a large number of sessions in the breakouts tomorrow after the keynotes and they continue into Saturday.

Congrats to the conference organizers on a rousing success. This is going to be fun!
