GnomeDex 3.0

Posted by michael on from the come-all-ye-faithful dept.

HackerStickers writes "The Fellowship of the Geeks - Aka Gnomedex 3.0 is the geeks conference of the year. This weekend-long geek-a-thon has had upwards and over 500 attendees all having the common love of technology. Des Moines, Iowa is where the Geeks will tromp July 25th & 26th both in business and pleasure. The lockergnome crew will be there and the list of speakers keeps growing with great topics by Jim Louderback, your very own slashdot man - Rob Malda, Tim O'Reilly, and not-so-decided topics by both MS and Google."

  1. Resolved: NOTGNOME by jdub! · · Score: 4, Informative

    Can someone please take this out of the GNOME section? It has utterly zip all to do with the far cooler, arse-kicking, totally Free Software GNOME Project.

    Thanks. :-)

  2. Not GNOME-related by jejones · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's run by a guy named Chris Pirillo (who's from Des Moines, but since moved to California), who has a web site called lockergnome.com because someone tagged him with the nickname "Locker Gnome" in high school. It's nothing to do with GNOME, and when I was at GNOMEDEX last year about all there was to do with Linux period was a good talk by Doc Searls; aside from that it was M$ all the way. I can't vouch for this year, though.

    Des Moines is cheap!

    The $99 conference fee, Des Moines hotel fees and cost of meals for the whole weekend is going to cost less then on night in a hotel room in NYC or San Francisco.
