    88The most eagerly-awaited event of the conference was of course Jylam’s keynote. The acclaimed libcaca second-in-chief developer covered the history of the project, gave key figures about its current status, and of course hinted at future plans.
     
    1010The morning of the second day had been busy with uncalled for attacks directed at the libcaca team by Mozilla Europe Board of Directors president Tristan Nitot who reportedly managed to say that "all applications have memory leaks" without immediately dying of maniac, self-ridiculing laughter. Needless to say, Jylam’s keynote was immediately refocused on insisting about libcaca’s superior development model and giving examples of its speed, lightweightness and general lack of memory leaks.

The audience also sat in awe as Jylam, literally knee-shaking in excitement, admitted that the very tool he had been using during the keynote was not a Microsoft product or a cheap clone thereof, but a development version of the libcaca team’s own fully-featured presentation tool, PowerPipo.
