I loved those when I was young

Luckily I can still get Dubble Zout drop at my local shops. :-) I've 
got dutch relatives arriving next month, and should be able to stock 
up on some chocolate, drop and stophoest :-)

So how can we find the names of the unknown REBOLers at the conference? 
 There are faces in the crowd I have no idea of...

like who was the person with the plane pilot's hat on?

village person

define village person :-)

OK, watched all the presentations...WOW

Steve, I think the "plane pilot hat guy" is Will Arp ;-)

wait, there was a real Alitalia pilot; the first day he arrived directly 
from the airport with his uniform. his name is Paolo Marciante.

you can see him in this photo: http://www.rebol.net/devcon/2005/photos/pages/dsc03032.html
(foreground, Victor Pavlov; background, Paolo Marciante)

the one on the right here is Romano: http://www.rebol.net/devcon/2005/photos/pages/img_1976.html

this is Will Arp: http://www.rebol.net/devcon/2005/photos/pages/pict3763.html

and do you have the picture of Nick? (good way to introduce me to 
their faces...:-)

It is Will Arp I was wondering about.  Is he German?

Will is his alias name, not his real life name.

I will let him disclose more if he desires.

Who was the guy with the Login magazines?

DideC

aha! Cool!

WIll is Swiss I think.

Yes, Swiss...

Is there a way to get all the pictures as a Zip?

And did I ever upload all my pics form the conf?  I have been so 
busy I don't remember.

reichart: i don't think you did. you said you were working on your 
own website for them, or something like that.

OK.  Yes, I am still working on my own, and yes, I will upload a 
Zip for you soon.  Can I get a zip of yours?

sure, let me build it for you.

http://www.rebol.net/devcon/2005/photos/photos.tar.gz(506MB)

(if you upload yours with the upload script on that page, we get 
the thumbnails automatically too.)

Do I need to upload it as a tar.gz?

with the upload script, just select all the images, and it will take 
care of uploading them.

otherwise, zip or tar are ok for me (but i need to generate the thumbs 
manually)

I have a LOT of pictures.  So will prob send you a zip.

zip is not going to make jpgs smaller ;)

:-) surely not, I would say the archive will be even bigger :-)

However, it is commonly used as a way to pack things into one archive.

Even though the individual items are already compressed.

what i mean is that it won't be any easier/faster than using the 
script (which will save me figuring out how to make the thumbs from 
the zip file ;)

but... i guess that wouldn't be hard, so it's no problem anyway.

gabriele - to get data from .zip, use zip:// scheme .... ah, we don't 
have any, sorry :-)

petr, that's not the problem at all :P

As Graham pointed out, I simply was going to use Zip as a quick way 
to package everything.  Since I was going to break stuff down into 
directories.

Did you all decide where the next Devcon will be?

Who is "you?"

why y'all :)

Talked about Paris, but I'm not sure, if it was definitive.

Paris and Amsterodam were considered here IIRC ....

Historically we've had the eFish (Davis) and then Gabriel (Italy), 
I've heard some talk of Prague. I just throw that out to see if someone 
comes up with a place.

I thought the French Rebols had lobbied for the next one.

I've done some intial venue investigation for Brisbane in 2007 or 
2008

Wow, and Carl thinks I plan ahead!

The problem with the Dev Con timing is that we have grapes to pick 
and crush.  They were unusually late last fall and we probably picked 
them earlier than we would have liked.  About 10 -12 days after picking, 
you have to press the wine.
