I think I know that bloke in the second photo, bottom right, from when I was doing online community work.
Yes Alfie - I agree. I was very impressed with them today.
taniwha - it's Simon Patton from NCSL - quite likely you have indeed met him as he is a very experienced online community facilitator and e-learning specialist. He is @simonpatton on Twitter. http://www.twitter.com/simonpatton
Now I remember the name. Yes, I met him when I was doing evaluation work for NCSL.
