So, the conference has officially opened. There are an awful lot more people hanging about than before, and I have a reason to be in St. David 1 for the first time since 2000. It?s just as big as I remembered, and the assembled delegates make a passable effort at filling it up.

Big up to HP, who have donated a Proliant server as a prize for the conference. Fingers crossed!
