MPCon XXI at Penguicon 6.0

MPCon is hosting a 90-person LAN Party at Penguicon, April 18 - 20. What is penguicon?

To those of you familiar with the Linux and Free/Open Source community
Think of a weekend long Linux Users Group meeting with hundreds of other geeks, which also just happens to have nationally acclaimed guests, its own wireless network, hotel room parties, lots of folks talking about Science Fiction and Fantasy, a place to buy cool t-shirts and buttons and such, amateur singing, anime, a costume contest, and free caffeine and snacks always available.

To those of you familiar with Science Fiction conventions
Imagine all the convention features you know and love, with the addition of wireless internet access, computer gaming, people who know about online publishing / books on demand / digital art, a programming track involving computing topics and another one focusing on the crossover between Science Fiction and computing.

MPCon XX and Gamers for Giving

Thursday, Feb 28, 2008 - 10:40pm - Lomax

Tomorrow the fun begins...for some of us it has already begun today as we set up the room and get the event prepped. Tomorrow is the big day. Some seats are still remaining, claim them now before the event starts because we are going to sell out. The events are always busy when the doors open with people battling for seat. We cannot wait to see you at the event, drive safely and take care when loading up your rig. We will see you soon!

If you look at Google Maps, the building appears under construction :)

See You Friday!
