Pictures: Downtime at Novell Brainshare

Posted by andrewdonoghue

Novell’s Brainshare conference is underway this week in Salt Lake City Utah. The 5000 attendees have plenty of information to absorb with the hundreds of tutorials and seminars – not to mention keynote sessions from Novell’s management such as chief executive Ron Hovsepian (pictured below).



However Novell also provides plenty of down-time opportunities from pool tables, and huge TV screens showing episodes of the US version of The Office.





Attendees can even, if they choose, wind down with a special techie version of the US game show jeopardy – where contestants have to supply the question to a given answer.



There is also the obligatory show shop resplendent with random Novell merchandise – the kind of stuff that journalists are used to getting for free but it seems that some people will actually pay for a branded base-ball cap.
