This year's LinuxExpo was a lot quieter than previous years (maybe it was the credit crunch kicking in), but we still met lots of interesting people and had some great conversations.

Damian Carvill from Packt Publishing stopped by to give us a stack of new books on Drupal, which I think gave a good impression as we seemed to have the most literature of any of the stands, even the commercial ones (well, apart from the bookshop stand at the other end of the hall). Thanks Damian!

Jonathan from the Natural History Museum stopped by to let us know they are using Drupal on one project, are now looking at further use and keen to get involved with the Drupal community. We also had visitors from some high profile universities who are using Drupal in various ways, and the possibilities of a Drupal For Education event was discussed.

Not having many visitors gave us a chance to talk to each other, and to other Open source projects who where exhibiting. One of the highlights for me was someone from the Joomla team, an author of a book on Joomla, giving us a demonstration - it really made me appreciate the advantages of Drupal's architecture and I spotted a few ideas we can quite easily borrow from Joomla.

Thanks to everyone who came, was great to see you all, and check out the photos.
