OSGIS UK 2009 on Flickr

I’ve just finished uploading photos taken on the OSGIS UK 2009 in Nottingham, so here is the set.

I’ve re-re-re-learned the lesson that light conditions in a conference venue is bad and I should always bring a proper strobe. Otherwise, pictures are dark or very grained (high ISO) or blured (mostly, unless your name is Arnold The Steel Grip). Ah, one more thing, don’t buy a DSLR with lens included, it simply is a waste of money. The kit lens is a piece of @#$%^&!, so just buy a body and then buy a proper (read: expansive) lens from Pentax (or Sigma). To quote the classics:

you are awesome
you have awesome camera
but it’s useless
without (proper) lens

Anyway, it’s always nice to have some photolog after events, even if the pictures are of bad quality.

OSGIS UK 2009 Live

Tomorrow early morning I’m leaving to Nottingham to attend the OSGIS UK 2009 conference. It’s been long time since FOSS4G 2007 and I didn’t make it to Cape Town last year, so I’m looking forward to meet FOSS4G and OSGeo folks in UK.

A few minutes ago, Suchith Anand announced there will be live streaming transmission available from OSGIS sessions. This is cool!

By the way, does anyone remember a kind of pioneer transmission from FOSS4G 2006 in Lausanne? The videos are still linked but seem to be unavailable. Pity. It would be cool to archive them somewhere on foss4g.org.
