Actually, I think Wil is a fan of Linux. Vernor Vinge is also a very outspoken free software advocate who serves on an awards committee for the FSF. Big draw and a very approachable public speaker.
I think the cosplay after party idea is too far off-topic (and maybe even intimidating) to bring attendees together. I saw a great after-party at LISA a bunch of years ago where old school video games were rented. Then the party sponsor donated to various floss non-profits an amount that depended on the night's high score on each game. People had fun and a little money went to some our community's hard working orgs. On Feb 4, 2014 5:13 PM, "Dirk Gently" <[email protected]> wrote: > I agree with Mr. Hale. I like Wil Wheaton.
