I am heading to bed, but where is the picture? They must have a digital
camera at JPL somewhere. It is Nasa/JPL. Take one off that Mars rover
thingy and post a picture, OK? :-)
(I see you just got home on Friday.)
Second, my guess is that we are going to be getting one of these every
year, so Marc will need to buy a display case, right? :-) If
contribution to open source is a criteria, we will win easily next year.
We just need a few cool'o features for >= 6.6.

Sounds like that run they do for the Olympics with the torch. "The
PostgreSQL award will be passing through your town on October 12th, at
..." We could have Linux user groups doing the running. :-)
The big question is whether the box can make it to Russia.

Thanks for going.
