Final Session

Finishing up, an eclectic mix of stuff. The session opened with Stormy Peters, who awarded the HP Photo Contest winners.

The bet between the Python and Parrot teams was finally settled, Python doesn't run on Parrot as fast as it does natively, so Guido van Rossum got to throw a pie in the face of Dan Sugalski, one of the Parrot designers. He also won $10 and a case of beer.


Pies for the Parrot guys...

Them the final keynote was given by Milton Ngan, the Digital Operations Manager at Weta Digital, talked about much cool stuff...
