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."

STALLMAN!!! by Anonymous Coward · 2003-05-06 05:44 · Score: -1, Offtopic

Heh, looks like someone finally started eating his own dogfood: Ironically, Richard Stallman (best known for the creation and relentless advocacy of the Gnu Project Licence), has for many years run his own site using software produced under the more generous BSD licence. www.stallman.org switched from FreeBSD to Linux during April.

Yes, Des Moines. It's where lockergnome's boss is from. He used to make a big deal about it *not* being the middle of nowhere, but that was before he got the call for help job and said screw this I'm moving to California!

Des Moines isn't the middle of nowhere, but you can see it from there. I used to live in that hell hole. About the best thing you can say about Iowa is it is better than Nebraska... But that isn't saying a whole lot.

Go hawkeyes?

C'mon, Des Moines is a lot closer to Ames than it is to Iowa City. You meant, go Cyclones!
