You mislabeled the one in Massachusetts as Michigan (or, alternately, you labeled it twice since the MA label is below the MI one).
I find it amusing that I could say this having been nowhere near Massachusetts in over a year, because I recognize the room as being in Stata at MIT (and further, I recognize they guy with the cow on his shoulder
).

Hey Jono,
Since that’s my arm and Yuri I see in the background, the one labeled as Michigan, USA should be labeled “Massachusetts, USA”.

I’m still in my first year using Ubuntu and being part of this community but co-ordination on this scale and getting stuff usefully done out of it just rocks my socks!

I’ve just been talking with Mez, and whilst it seems he doesn’t really care, the image that you’ve used from the Bug Jam in Birmingham is licensed under CC-BY-SA, which states that you must give attribution to the content provider.
Additionally, the flickr community guidelines…
I don’t know what the license is for the other photos or even if they care, but I think it’d still be groovy and in the spirit of open source/freedom of creativity if you in some way linked to the people/person who took the original photographs.
