Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. LSCS_030127_019.JPG: The opening session began with a performance by The Bounce
2. LSCS_030127_028.JPG: The Bounce handed it off to Al Zollar, who had been General Manager of Lotus Software until about a month before the conference. He is now General Manager of the IBM eServer iSeries.
3. LSCS_030127_052.JPG: Al Zollar handed the ball off to Ambuj Goyal who's the new General Manager of Lotus Software. Ambuj is a big advocate of open standards, which apparently means he'll push Lotus toward J2EE.

11. LSCS_030130_012.JPG: Bryan Simmons, who resolved a question people's minds when he announced the schedule for Lotusphere for next year. Before this time, there had been some concern that Lotusphere was dead. While attendance had peaked at 10,000 two or three years ago, it's plummeted during the Bush economic collapse. It's said that attendance this year was up from last year but was still only 5,000 or 6,000.

Wikipedia Description: Lotusphere
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lotusphere is an annual conference hosted by Lotus Software (now one of IBM's five software brands).

Except for the first conference, which took place in December 1993, Lotusphere is held in late January. It starts with a reception party on Sunday night, and continuing on through the closing session on Thursday afternoon. The conference uses the conference rooms in the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin hotels. Most years have also used the additional conference rooms shared by Disney's Yacht and Beach Clubs.

In addition to the annual conference in Florida, there is also an annual Lotusphere Europe conference.

Agenda:

The typical agenda starts with an opening general session on Monday, followed by breakout sessions through the rest of the morning and afternoon where different presentations occur simultaneously in different conference rooms, allowing attendees to choose which one they want to go to. Each breakout session is typically an hour long, with pauses in the schedule to allow attendees to mingle and walk to their next choice of breakout session. Tuesday and Wednesday also have six or seven of these breakout sessions throughout the day.

Thursday is the last day of the conference, with a few breakout sessions in the morning, then a large "Ask the Developers" session where attendees are allowed to ask questions directly to a panel of IBM/Lotus employees involved in making the software. The last event of the conference is a closing session.

The opening and closing sessions typically have a form of entertainment and a guest speaker, as well as executives and key employees sharing news and demonstrations of what's happening in the near future.

Breakout Sessions:

In 2008, there were 197 different presentations scheduled during the breakout sessions, scheduled across 18 slots, giving attendees an average of eleven choices per session slot. Each breakout session lasts about an hour. Breakouts ...More...

2003 photos: Trips this year: Three-week trip this year out west, mostly in Utah. Equipment this year: I decided my Epson digital camera wasn't quite enough for what I wanted. Since I already had Compact Flash chips for it, I had to find another camera which used CF chips. That brought me to buy the Fujifilm S602 Zoom in March 2003. A great digital camera, I used it exclusively for an entire year. Number of photos taken this year: 68,000.
