The First Geek Wedding At a LinuxFest

Posted by kdawson on Saturday September 26, 2009 @06:32AM from the merging-the-source dept.

At the Ohio LinuxFest yesterday, two Linux geeks were married — or had their projects merged into a single trunk, as the officiant, Lord Drachenblut, put it. The wedding of Randy Noseworthy (proprietor of the Juiced Penguin) and Janet Edmonson was announced last week and was live-tweeted by at least one attendee — here's his photo of the happy couple. There's also a video of the ceremony, at which Jon "Maddog" Hall offered a blessing via pre-recorded audio.
Update: 09/26 20:03 GMT by KD : In the comments, anyaristow notes that this wasn't the first such wedding; Rob Landly and Fade were married at Penguicon in 2007, with Steve Jackson officiating and Eric Raymond as best man.

Those two are hideous and their gimmick wedding sickens me.

Gad, sometimes the slash herd are awful. Particularly anonymous cowards.
You weren't invited anyway, so it's win-win for everybody.
It was their moment. As long as it made them happy, that's great.
