OK, another quick report. We had a well attended Q&A (Questions and Answers) 
session this afternoon with Bdale Garbee (Mr. Debian), Andrew "tridge" 
Tridgell and Sir Linus Torvalds himself on the panel. Turns out that there 
was someone else who couldn't help but join in answering some of the 
questions - so they gave him a seat on stage as well: 
http://tux.anu.edu.au/LCA/dcp02258.jpg (the guy standing up with the large 
container of Chupa-Chups under his arm is James Bromberger, the LCA2003 
organising guru).

Cheers,

 Bob Edwards (we haven't had that rain yet - but it might still happen)
