Penguicon

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
Big, but not as big as it once was
more disorganized... Still trying to get in touch with a real person to get us a booth
Probably worth skipping at this point, they don't seem to be very clueful
