Sue Dumont wrote that Jonathan Finkelstein highlighted "the introductory ice-breaker when participants of the conference were asked to post pictures of themselves and their favourite coffee mugs in the Mug Shot Gallery at the Online Conference Cafe. He described this fun and interactive activity "like an opening cocktail party" that was a key factor in building instant community. "
