Or, at least some of them are. On Flickr, they are tagged both "tpff" and "TPFF 2009" (there are "TPFF 2008" ones from last year) and "ubuntu" as well, so if you have more to upload there, please tag. There were several people with cameras, but here's what's tagged as "TPFF 2009" and "ubuntu" so far.

Bug Jam
Hi all,
It's official! I have scheduled a room at George Mason University.
On Saturday August 22nd, 2009 starting at 3PM and going no later than 9PM I will attempt to do my best at hosting a Bug Jam.
The event will be held in the Research 1 Building in Room 301.
Since this is a Saturday the building will be locked. Being a graduate student I have access into the building and therefore I can let people into the building. This being said, maybe someone knows a good system of letting people into the building, without risking any security problems.
