[penguicon-general] Program Book -open bugs, additions?

Sat Apr 14 09:27:49 CDT 2007

Here is the current list of Program Book errata as it stands now. If 
there is anything else anyone would like to add, please get it to me 
before noon today so that I can pass this on to Markell (Programming 
Book Layout Engineer) for final edits and we can get it to the printers 
tomorrow.
*
Adswaps;
*    There should have been an adswap with U-Con. Can you fit it in? If 
not, it's not a huge deal, because I've recieved an email stating that 
for the current moment we've already reciprocated in last year's book. 
But it would be nice if you can fit it in so that we can swap this year.

*Pages 1-10*

*Cover;*
    Livonia and 2006, should be Troy and 2007
*page 3;*
    I don't believe there has been a celebrity frag fest since at least 
P3, maybe P2.
*page 4;*
    replace "We our share of snafus" with "We had our share ofsnafus". 
(I love the irony, though)
    Section: ConSuit -3rd paragraph "This year the non-smoking ConSuite 
is on the first floor of the Holidome. The smoking ConSuite is 
immediately above it, on the second floor."
    column one, last full paragraph:  "new born" s/b "newborn" instead.
    column two, first full paragraph:  "award winning" s/b "Award 
winning" for both Charlie Stross and Elizabeth Bear.Bear won the 2005 
John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer.   :)
    Please add "M. Keaton" to the Intro participants.  Thank you.
    after "Anime, cheese tastings, port tastings" possibly you should 
add ", Random Capitalization", because there is.  (If you've got it, 
flaunt it.)
*page 5;*
    under ConSuite, you mention "the Holidome" -- needs correcting to 
wherever it really is Reimbursements; "we managed to do it our first 
three years". Were we unable to do it last year? Or should "three" be 
"four"?
*Page 6; *
    near top of 2nd column "from the first Penguicon, last year" doesn't 
make sense. Maybe cut "last year"?
*Page 7; *
    Section: Hotel inbibe should be imbibe
    Hotel Phone # is: 1(248)879-2100Should be: (248)879-2100
    2nd to last line in hotel, "security do to this fact" should be 
"security due to this fact"
    From me:Where did a concessions menu come from? From Aaron: Section: 
Hotel Concession Menu -This needs to be updated with this years info. At 
least get rid of the price.
    Completely missing the Raffle blurb (it's the last one in the Blurbs 
document), you could actually use the newly freed Concession menu space 
for this
    For the List of LUGS (Starts on page 6) Please add "Unix Hobbyists' 
Administrators' & Coder's Club (UHACC) Meetings every Wednesday - 
uhacc.org" in it's own section titled "Illinois LUGS"
*Page 10;*
    EULA, change "toward making Penguicon 5.0 better" to "toward making 
Penguicon 6.0 better"
"(the "Penguicon Pit")" should be "(the "Penguin Pit")"
    Gaming is not a day care service: Neither is the Chaos Machine.

Page 12;*
    bio for Randy Milholland is really skimpy -- anything more to fill

    Rob Balder bio lacks mention of most recent webcomic 
project/collaboration: Erfworld (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erfworld)
    Rob Balder "due to be released in June 2006" bit needs to be taken 
out (and shot)
    Eric Raymond is out of date.  He handed off Bogofilter and fetchmail 
to other maintainers years ago.  More recently gpsd takes up most of his 
hacking time, and most recently he became addicted to (and subsequently 
joined the development team of) Battle of Wesnoth.
*page 18; *
    Sarah Monette, 2nd line missing a "c" in "having completed...."
    Sarah Monnette; "having ompleted her Ph.D." should be "having 
completed her Ph.D."
    Sarah Monette's name is misspelled Sarah Monnette
    In Nick Sagan's bio, Barnes "&" Noble
    Penguin Mints ad should be full page ad (they provided us with over 
$1000 worth of product, no joke)
    No Nifty entry for Howard Tayler Please ad in for him: "Howard 
Tayler is a professional cartoonist, the creator of 
www.schlockmercenary.com.  In a previous life he headed up of Novell's 
GroupWise for Linux.  He also invented the Chupaqueso, is an expert on 
the Chaos Machine, and filmed the liquid nitrogen going into the
