Last night, Gllug organized another meeting, reviewed here. A good one too! It started with a talk from FilmLight, on some film colourisation technology which, despite not being part of the industry, I managed to understand. In contrast to previous meetings it did seem an even split between Linux geeks, and film production geeks. I'm probably not going to meet them again (unfortunately) but it is good have this cross-pollination of people so I hope something similar can be arranged again.

Second up was the quiz. Wonderful! Just like a pub quiz - except for the distinct lack of beer! It went exactly as you'd hope: multiple rounds, unconventional questions (e.g. here's ten beards, to whom do they belong), up-to-date scoring, well-matched teams and good prizes. In fact, it went exactly and I'd hoped since the team I was on won! Well done and thanks to Pete, Martin and Trevor, my cohorts. And extra special thanks to Positive Internet for the star prize.

So - am I writing this to show off our "l33t qu12 5k111z"? Partly, yes :) But moreso that the sponsors get acknowledgement for their involvement. Like IBM did last year with their planetarium event, this shows a commitment to the community that builds, uses, and promotes the software they use everyday in their business. This deserves to be recognized. And preferably by someone greater than a celebrity media non-entity such as myself, but it's a start.

And while companies continue to support the community, I'll continue to support them.

Now, does anyone have any ideas of what I can host with a new box, with generous bandwidth caps?
