Penguicon was this weekend. We didn't even notice that we had missed it until today.
What I did this year was go through the panel list and pull out everything that I wanted to see. After thinking about each one, I pared that list down to about 5 panels. Pretty bad. Out of 48 hours of panels, I could only find 5.
I researched the topics on the 5 panels in less than one day.
So I believe that we made the right decision to skip it. Unless I see big changes for next year, we probably won't be going ever again.
Today (5/2/2017), a message to the Penguicon-General mailing list from Eric S. Raymond (if he posts it on his web site, I'll edit to add the link here) basically echoed the issues that I already documented with Penguicon. But I guess this year, it was even worse, vindicating our decision to not attend.
I didn't realize, but one of the GOHs was a SJW (Social Justice Warrior). I'm really glad I didn't waste my time and money going this year. Penguicon has been taken over by the left-wing regressives as I thought.
