The second annual NOTACON [1], the brain child of Paul Schneider(AKA Froggy) [2], his wife Jodie(AKA Tyger) as well as the support of their business partner last year, Brandon "Kaospunk" Knight, is being held at the Lakeside Holiday in this weekend(04/08-04/10). This technology, arts and music event is the place to be for hackers, and underground music and arts lovers. I attended a few of sessions yesterday that I really enjoyed. For a complete schedule [3] of speakers and sessions attend the event or look it up on their site [1].

Don't worry if you missed a session or the event, the staff video taped every session and DVDs will be available for sale on their site soon. Few of the attendees and speaker were posting notes and pictures on their own personal blogs and websites. Checkout Jim Eastman's Wine & Politics [4] site for a different perspective. |

Friday afternoon session's Open Source Entrepreneurialism [5] with Nick Hanek & Micah Waldstein from APChange [6] was a great lesson on how to start and sustain a business build on open source technology. This was yet another great validation of technology migrating toward open source project and sharing of IP. |
