Sadly, Vintage Computer Federation's VCF East has also had to switch to virtual format (October 10 & 11, 2020): http://vcfed.org/wp/2020/08/06/vcf-east-2020-virtual-hybrid-show-oct-10-11-2020/

BTW Penguicon 2020 Pre-Registration increases in prices soon. Please visit https://2020.penguicon.org/ when ready to pre-register. Thank you to Paul and the 2020 Con Com for preparing an awesome convention for us! Have a great week!

Nice forestry.io introduction at the Penguicon Planning Meeting. Thank you, @matt!

Sadly, Linux Journal is ceasing publication. Their web site will be online for a short period, but it’s not clear what will happen afterwards. I’d recommend downloading any articles you find useful soon at https://www.linuxjournal.com

Sad to see them go :-(

A great friend is looking for a new software developer to work for a small financial services company in Southfield, Michigan, not far from the Penguicon hotel! They have a diverse business and a close-knit team.

Please direct message me to be put in touch if you are interested or know someone that is.

BTW, everyone that pre-registered for Penguicon 2020 has been entered and typos checked by another pair of trusted eyes. Thanks to Allison, Karen, Elizabeth, Paul (our fearless leader of Reg in 2020, yay!), and our great Reg volunteers in 2019! Looking forward to 2020!

Have a some extra time in Germany? Come to Cuxhaven (high speed train available) and go to the Penguin Museum, along with the wonderful horse-drawn carriage ride to Neuwerk Island :-)
