Andres Valloud sent me some photos from Smalltalk Solutions - here are a few of them. I'll get more posted on the main Cincom Smalltalk Site later today, as I get them processed. First, here are two from the coding contest:

In the top photo, that's Michael Lucas Smith on the left, and Mike Hales on the right - with Randy Coulman behind them. Below that, it's Niall Ross all the way to the right, and Travis Griggs getting up. Next, I have two Andres took of the "Industry Misinterpretations" podcast we did at the show:

From left to right, that's Michael Lucas-Smith, me (James Robertson), David Buck, and James Savidge. I'll have more later

Sounds like the Squeak Booth at StS 2007 worked out well:

As most of you know, due to the fantastic work of Chris Cunnington, Squeak was able to acquire a booth at Smalltalk Solutions this year. I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to volunteer to work the booth for the two days of the convention. We had a fabulous location and got a tremendous amount of traffic. The Smalltalk community, while small, is one of the most intelligent, kind, supportive, and fun communities I have ever been involved in. I would like to thank all Smalltalk Solution attendees for there kind words, Squeak cheerleading, and help with answering questions when the crowds got large.
Bert Freudenberg was kind enough to lend us a OLPC laptop. This was the major draw of non-Smalltalkers to our booth. Many of the people knew nothing of Smalltalk but had heard of the OPLC project. The etoys demo was beautiful and if gave us a real opportunity to explain a little about Squeak, Smalltalk, and etoys.

I have another batch of pictures from StS 2007 - I only had my camera phone with me, and I couldn't send myself the pictures while we were in Canada. First, another shot of the OLPC, swiveled around - and then a picture of Dale Henrichs and James Foster, during their GLASS presentation:

Next, two from the Seaside BOF: Carl Gundel talking about the Run Basic site (implemented in Seaside on VW), and Boris Popov, speaking about their web app, also in Seaside on VW:

I have a few pictures from Smalltalk Solutions; I'll happily post anything else that gets sent to me. The one on the left is Thomas Gagne, from his OLTP Talk, the one on the right is Aik Siong Koh, with his 3D CAD talk:

Next, Michael Lucas-Smith talking about C Connectivity, and a picture of the OLPC:

I'll have more posted soon.
