Chasing Nuts

This year we had another successful Penguicon. There was ~850 attendees and a good time was had by all. Just look at what people are saying:

If you have made some posts about Penguicon that I missed please leave me a link to them in the comments.

So you may be asking what is next??? We are already hard at work on Penguicon for next year!

If you are presenting at Penguicon and you have not sent me a program book description you need to send one in to me ASAP. Please get them in to me before I have to start badgering for them.

Penguicon was featured this week in the Detroit Free press. You can see the article here.

So this was on the Digg home page today for a while!

Thank you everyone who helped make this happen.

Two weeks from today I will be breathing a sigh of relief. Penguicon 4.0 will be winding down and I will have seen the fruits of everyones labor. With two weeks left there is just time to get the finishing touched put on everything. We spend a lot of time this weekend talking with the hotel and we still need about 30 rooms to meet our room block. If you are thinking about spending the night PLEASE BOOK ROOM! If we meat our room lack we will be able to have 24 hour pool and Holidome activities. Thursday night the 20th will be the GoH dinner at Ground Round. If you would like to come and have not talked to me please let me know so I can make the appropriate reservation.

I am starting to slot Penguicon Tech programing this week. I have got a site set up so I can do it online and so can other people. If you want to present and I do not yet know about it you should remind me in the next few days. Then again, even if I do know about it you should still remind me in the next few days.

For the scheduling I decided to use MRBS, a few little tweaks and we have a great tool for the Penguicon programming team. A very special thank you to the MRBS development team for making a great and yet simple program.
