I like the harmless look of the nice guy next to me :-)

Now, here is a good reason against a high def color LCD interface for the SB.

Good dev work guys...

So ... let's see how well you really know the developer community!

Andy is easy (I think), but the rest would just be guessing.
Maybe we could get some kind of clues ?

What we need are audio clues, not a photo. Besides, we're all aurally orientated here, aren't we? I'm fairly certain that I'd be able to identify the Minnesota and Canadian accents.

ah, if only Flickr supported roll-over mp3s. of course, then people would then be asking for roll-over flacs.

my roll-over would sport the quintessential Minnesotan statement. Say it with a 'Fargo' accent: "I ain't gonna pay no dollar for no corn muffin that's half dough"

Got a lot easier with these.

The only ones that are the same as my initial guess before the clues was andyg, dean blackketter and fcm4711.
The big surprises for me, assuming my guess is correct, was MickeyG and bklaas. I'm a bit disappointed I didn't guess Sean correct in the first place, but at least my second hand choice for Sean would have been the correct one.

I'll wait with posting the correct answer to give more people a chance to guess first.

Sean was easy. I just looked for the leader in the group and he was obvious. Then I did some analysis to confirm my gut... He wouldn't be in the front (people told to be there) or back ("extras") - that's obvious. No hands in pockets which would be too casual for the leader. Hands together strikes me as folks "behaving" for the photo - so therefore, not in charge. That leaves one person. Decent shirt and clean cut...check!

He looks confident in the photo. It might not be his personality naturally (have no clue), but I'm sure he's been forced to act it as his company has grown and it shows - even in this photo.

But is Dan really wearing a Google t-shirt? Enquiring minds want to know...

No, no, indeed. For a dollar, you should get a corn dog.

Well, let's look at the facts...

1. That is Dan.
2. That is a Google t-shirt.

I put it to you Mr Sidue that Dan really *is* wearing a Google t-shirt!

I extrapolated it from his age--I think he's the youngest in the group!

For some reason, he reminds me a little of Scott Wolf.

Ah but is it an officially sanctioned pro Google t-shirt, or a mild piss take - I can't tell even with a bit of sharpen? My whole image of Dan (and the Slim Devices developers generally) has just spun on its axis at the thought that one or more of them might be actively promoting a company who is leading the "race to the bottom".*

* Not really**

**Well, actually quite a bit. I teach a bit on data protection and the law and Google is my standout "how not to do it" example every time. That and my own Government of course.

P.S. It's Miss btw *smiles*

Let's just say I am not working in the ivory tower. This is the shirt:
