• see Dan's page for planning
• we have a booth
• working on speakers, etc.

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.

Gran Canaria

July 3-11 2009

just noting....

O'Reilly's Oscon

July 20-24 2009

in San Jose, California

LinuxWorld (SF)

August 12-13

in San Francisco, CA

• This is now called "open source world"; very corporate
• Big, but not as big as it once was
