CodeCon: biohacks and running code, San Francisco, Apr 17-19

By Cory Doctorow at 10:14 pm Wednesday, Apr 8

Ben "OpenSSL" Laurie sez, "Wonder if Codecon might be of interest to your readers - always a fun conference, the basis has always been 'bring working code', though not necessarily open source. This year adds a new twist with 'or bring working biohacks' which I think is going to be fascinating - if only I didn't have to be somewhere else! Anyway, I was on the program committee and I think we have a pretty interesting lineup this year. Cheap ($82.50)! Only guaranteed to get in if you buy in advance!"
