This one took about 4 years...

Well, it's happened again...you see, the Friar and I are very good at predicting things...we have come up with many thing that take anywhere from a year to a decade to come about...and it has happened again. I said a number of years ago, I think it was 4, that an interesting thing to do would be to combine a Science Fiction Convention, and a Linux con....and now someone had done so! Here is the URL to Penguin CON: http://penguicon.sourceforge.net/

Guests:
Terry Pratchett author of the Discworld novels.
Eric Raymond, author of The Cathedral and the Bazaar.
Pete Abrams, author and artist of Sluggy Freelance.
J.D. Frazer (Illiad), author and artist behind User Friendly.
Rob Malda (CmdrTaco), co-founder of Slashdot.

A slate that includes a number of people I would have invited....I Hope they do very, very well!
