With UDS Intrepid wrapped up, attendees are posting pictures of the week long event. Here are some cool shots posted so far on Flickr.

Cornerstone of UDS:

Sessions:

Between sessions, hacking code, discussing plans of world domination, checking email…

Photo wall of attendees

Oh oops, me catching some shut-eye.

Luke Yelavich, part of the Ubuntu All-Stars, practicing…

Howard Chu, of OpenLDAP, entertaining the crowd…

Ubuntu All Stars jamming away…

DJ Holbach still beaming from his hugs…

Jorge showing off his heavy metal face…

As Ken was getting ready to take the group photo, some random folks started waving to us as they walked by…

More pictures can be seen on Flickr with the tag udsintrepid.

Hopefully someone will post Mark joining the Ubuntu All Stars in singing Light My Fire by The Doors.
