Slashdot Turns 15, What Are You Doing Later?

Posted by samzenpus on from the party-like-it's-2012 dept.

October marks Slashdot's 15th birthday. That's right, we're almost old enough to drive the PT Cruiser. Throughout October we'll be running a number of meta news articles about our history, plans for the future, and special interviews. We're also giving away T-shirts to people willing to organize and host the biggest Slashdot parties. It's easy to get started. Just visit the Slashdot Anniversary Party Web Page. Sign up to go to a party, or if there aren't any in your area, create your own during the official party period of Oct. 20-30. The details of your local parties are up to you. Each has a corresponding discussion so you can work it out amongst yourselves. Wherever several Slashdot readers gather, we'll attempt to mail shirts until we run out. Geeknet will host parties in San Francisco, New York, and Ann Arbor. To be eligible for schwag, you need to schedule your party by September 27, or sign up to attend one by September 28. This will give us time to figure out where to send the shirts, and time to send them. Help us celebrate 15 years of news for nerds and stuff that matters.

      eewwww. I would never touch slashdot... it's covered in goatse trolls, and judging from the articles on the front page, it's borderline retarded.

      And grits. Never forget the grits.

    Timmy's bring all his movies. Come on, it'll be FUN! My mom's making popcorn and pizza bites and we can stay up until 11PM.

    Plus, and don't tell anyone this, there will be pr0n.

    I don't know, I might meet some of the people I've insulted.

  4. That must be some party ... by gstoddart · · Score: 4, Funny

    I can only imagine how that party plays out.

    Several groups standing around flaming one another over something inane. A couple of people saying the party is a dupe. One guy in the corner talking about picking poo out of the toilet in the library. A couple of people walking around with the goatse picture trying to get people to look at it. And one or two people who seem to have Tourette's shouting obscenities for no good reason. One really loud guy saying the iPad is for hipster douchebags even though he's never used one. The odd mumble about our new Dice (or other) overlords.

    Shame there's not one near me. ;-)

    Looking at your list of submissions I wouldn't throw any stones there chief.
