The one that originates the thread seems to be http://www.nabble.com/SIGGRAPH-BOF---failed-t2051545.html http://www.blendernation.com/ has multiple articles with videos (download or google) covering what happened around the Open Source booth, mostly from Blender POV, but you can see the demo schedule in one of the videos, the booth in general, the global look of the exhibition floor... http://david.navi.cx/blog/?p=109 has also some comments and photos. Inkscape http://www.inkscape.org/ Aqsis http://www.aqsis.org/ and Verse http://www.uni-verse.org/ seem to have some "i will be there" in the news or planet areas. No mention in Gimp pages. :[ About BoF meetings you can look at http://www.siggraph.org/s2006/main.php?f=conference&p=birds and find Blender, Verse, Xorg, BRL-CAD or Ogre managed to get a one. They are casual talks about a given topic. > Was this part of some kind of test performed during SIGGRAPH? Based in the activities, it sounds pretty much like someone passed by and asked in the free time. Same than others could had asked how to adjust an animation in Blender or solve some render artifact in Aqsis.
