Penguicon, a combination science fiction convention and open source
software
expo in the greater Detroit metro area of Michigan, has allocated function
space for Logfest 2006. In its fourth year, Penguicon is held April 21
through 23, 2006 at the Holiday Inn in Livonia, Michigan. See
http://www.penguicon.org/ and http://wiki.penguicon.org/ for more
information about Penguicon.
My presentation about Lojban at Penguicon 2005 packed the room, and is in
demand for a repeat this year. There are at least four local Detroit-area
jbopre who will be in attendance at Logfest 2006 activities, and probably
more like seven. Please join us, and it will be very well attended! LogFest
will be held in the Brewstreet Dining Area, which can be seen in photos on
the hotel website at

A past Lojbanist, Eric S. Raymond, never fails to attend Penguicon. Guests
of Honor this year will include:
Looney Labs, creators of Zendo and Nanofictionary, games which have been
played at past Logfests
Chris DiBona, open source director for Google
Frank Hayes, filk musician and tech columnist for ComputerWorld
Steve Miller and Sharon Lee, authors of the Liaden universe novels
Program participants will include: Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda of Slashdot, Tom
Smith, The Great Luke Ski, John Scalzi, Karl Schroeder, Clif Flynt
The Penguicon registration rate increase from $35 to $40 has been postponed
until February 28. After the end of March, registration will only be at the
door for $45. Would anyone like to chip in for a hotel room and throw a
Lojbanic room party? I'm looking forward to seeing you there!
