I was at the sydney one but has been too lazy to put any pictures or reports up, if someone want me to let me know and ill do something tomorrow, i got 30Mb of pics (not all good) but i also have $4!tloads of pics of the a-one mini itx board as well, with size comparisons with the current a-one atx (sitting on top, beside etc etc)...

There was more people there then i thought there would be so all was good, the venue was also *huge*, there were three giant screens each with presentations going on, The main screen was at a guess 4 metres high and showing aos4 one an a-one

Im not sure of the numbers, I would guess at around 40+-5? people where there for the couple of hours it was going for? I believe some normal public people were there such as some people from the engineering department at the uni, which was a polite surprise.

The presentations where staggered between the different aspects of the amiga OS, front end back end, past present future, dev and user stuff etc etc and most presentations related back to AOS4 in the end, i was actually quite impressed! esp by colin, would be more impressed if you cut your hair colin ;-) Got more then i expected for sure.

I also got to chat to the hardware distributer for the region about the future and whats coming, i must say my hopes are once again high.

Tell me what a pegasos has to do with AOS4 and ill agree with you, but until then i think it would be like showing an amiga-one at a morphos roadshow, or showing a carolla at a honda convention, ie pointless. Dont forget the whole idea of the AOS4 roadshow it to show OS4. Id like to see aos4 run on peg2 and hence then it would have been relevant, but until all parties involed stop behaving like f#@kwits peg2 is irrelevent to amigas future path.

There was an irc wth fleecy in which some questions were asked and some questions were answered, most of the time the answers were even related to the questions! ben hermans was also penciled in for the chat but technical issues prevented him from joining. I was busy taking photos of the new mini a1 so didnt catch much of the chat session so would appreciate getting a log if anyone has one?

There was a karaoki machine (i did a cracker rendition of kenny rogers gambler) and there were a few blondes sweeties dancing around the room, everyone was drunk as! had a *good* night ;-) oh wait, that was the party i went to afterwards...
