Some shots from the Golden Penguin Bowl

By Jonathan Corbet
September 23, 2009
The traditional Golden Penguin Bowl made a reappearance in a new venue at LinuxCon on September 23. Gracious host Steve Ballmer Jeremy Allison led the Nerds (Jono Bacon, Joe Brockmeier, and Matt Domsch) in their victorious trivia battle against the Geeks (Greg Kroah-Hartman, Ted Ts'o, and Chris Wright). It was a grueling event requiring detailed knowledge of Arthur C. Clarke books, bad science fiction movies, archaic architectures, Rick Astley lyrics, and remote-control helicopter piloting. Here's a few photos from the event.

Wow, Jeremy Allison nailed it. That's a brilliant costume and from the pictures he looks like he was working it.

Hmm, I guess Jeremy Allison screamed "Samba, Samba, Samba!!!", right? :)
