By The Open Group Conference Team
The Open Group Conference in Cannes was as unforgettable as the beautiful beaches of the French Riviera. For those of you who were unable to attend, conference attendees submitted a record number of 24 photos to the Cannes Photo Contest, ranging from pictures of the Gala Dinner to the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea!
The contest ended today at noon PT, and without further ado, here are the winners:
