Day One Wrap Up : DNI Open Source Conference “Expanding the Horizons”
I think today went very well. I attended the Open Source on the Web, Technology: Improving the Use of Open Source, and Regional Focus: Open Source in Latin America break-out sessions. When I arrived I wasn’t sure if I could get in. I didn’t pre-register, and I was told it was totally booked and there was basically a 300 person waiting list. Luckily Sabra Horne was able to get me in, and Ross Feinstein gave the go ahead. In all reality I rode in on Kirby’s and Dan’s coat tails. The Amphitheater has a capacity of 625, and was pretty much to the brim. I tried to attend The Need for Speed break-out session, but it was standing room only, coming out the door. There is definitely allot of interest in exploiting Open Source Information, to produce Intelligence.
Besides that I cruised the vendor exhibitions and picked up some cool swag from folks like Google, RedHat, Jane’s, Springer, Accenture, and BBN.
