While at OSCON, I finally met Zak Greant, the EZ Systems developer and former MySQL Community Advocate from Vancouver who Chris Shiflett had mistaken me for at php|tropics. In an apparent attempt to forge his own identity, Zak had shaved his goatee and grown his hair, making him look a lot less like me. However, he ended up looking exactly like Kees, glasses included. Kees ended up having the honour of being called Zak for the duration of the conference

*UPDATED*: Laura Thompson posted a photo of the three of us together.
