    I was disapointed to see less software venders there. Last year there were pleanty of new ideas and projects started. You really noticed how the down economy has weeded out a majority of them. It was a great expo over all (a lot of hardware). To bad some of the newer up and comming software and development projects could not get a presence there. Maybe someone can start a non profit drive to sponser smaller up and comming groups?

      I thought it was interesting how SGI had a HUGE pavilion at last years LWCE, complete with lame emcee guy and flashy dog and pony show, yet had zero presence this year.

      I wonder if they're reconsidering their linux strategy in view of the recent shift to linux from sgi in computing & rendering projects.

    Checkout this wrapup if you're interested in the events that took place at the KDE booth. Comes with many pictures.
