I have been confirmed as a Nifty Guest for Penguicon 7.0, a science fiction and open source software convention. This year's Penguicon will be May 1-3, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Romulus, Michigan. I'm presenting at two sessions: "Linux in the Enterprise" and "Starting your own Free/open source software project." Other guests planning to attend include Wil Wheaton, and John "maddog" Hall (no relation.) It should be a lot of fun!
If you're planning to attend Penguicon, look me up. I'd love to see lots of FreeDOS friends in the audience!

About Me
- Jim Hall
- I'm Jim Hall, the founder and Project Coordinator for the FreeDOS Project. I started FreeDOS in 1994, when I was an undergraduate physics student at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. Other developers got in touch with me, and we began work creating our own version of DOS that would be compatible with MS-DOS. I shared the extended DOS utilities that I had written for myself, as did others. We also found public domain or open source programs that replaced other DOS commands. A few months later, we released our first FreeDOS “Alpha” distribution. And from there, FreeDOS grew into what you see today!
