Even better to share a photo of Drupal creator and curator Dries Buytaert in a sombrero (while a student at Ghent University, where Drupal originated)

Some great insights despite the camera fogging up! We'll have to get him out in a less humid time of year next time ;-)

Dries has also posted a few photos and thoughts about his visit on his blog at http://buytaert.net/
