Penguicon

May 1-3 2009

http://www.penguicon.org/

in Romulus, Michigan

  • This one is just goofy: a science fiction convention mixed with an open source convention. Nixternal went one year and had a blast. We've missed getting on the program, though, and this isn't something where you'd do a booth.

  • This is now called "open source world"; very corporate
