Yesterday we were in Santa Cruz do Sul, RS, Brazil, for a student conference on OpenSolaris. We had some time in the afternoon to sight-see (then were working again from 6-10 pm), including a walk to the cathedral.

Didn’t realize til I looked at the photo today that they’d placed Simon Phipps under the “Alumni” registration sign.
Then there was this on the Atlassian booth:
