For the next few days, I'll be in Mountain View, California shooting the eComm2008 conference at the Computer History Museum. This conference is the follow on event to ETel 2006 and ETel 2007. When it became clear that ETel 2008 wasn't going to happen, Lee S. Dryburgh decided that he didn't want to see the community that had formed around ETel to go away. So he dug in and spent at least 5 months of his own time putting together an independent conference.
As part of the event, Lee asked me if I'd come out and shoot this conference like I had shot the ETel events. Luckily, I had an opening in the schedule, so here I am. If you are interested in seeing the photos from the event, I'll be adding them to the eComm2008 set on Flickr throughout the rest of the week.
It's quite the accomplishment to put together a conference of this scale, especially for the first time. And, it looks to be a success. The room is full with a passionate group of people and I've had barely enough space in a corner of the main to work on the first morning and ended up moving to a location just outside the speaker room. Lee deserves a round of applause for making this happen.

Beautiful shots!
