Penguicon by

Every year a small group of nerds get together for a convention of the unlikely yet strangely comfortable combination of Open Source Software and Sci-Fi, Penguicon. It’s a smorgasbord of panels and talks about everything from RSS to scifi writing techniques to chocolate rituals to rooters. (In Canada they roote, they do not route… Rowt. No.)
For me, it’s the one time of year when friends from all over the country (and one from Canada) fly in and meet up. The last two years it’s been sparse due to the economy and various life events, but this year quite a few are coming out. A number of them are speaking on different topics. As well, a couple of new people will be joining the group.
Nearly everyone in the group will be giving some sort of talk or sitting in on a panel. I will be posting videos of as many as possible. Stay tuned!
