A program participant is one of the TechPresenters, DiscussionPanelists, scheduled GameMasters, or provides a programmed feature or other scheduled event at PenguiCon. Some of them are also ConCom, StaffMembers, GuestsOfHonor, NiftyGuests, or on the BoardOfDirectors. **First, here is a list of all program participants listed in the non-gaming non-anime schedule:** AegisConsulting AlisonLooney AndreaDale AndrewPorwitzky AndyLooney AndyVinton AnneMurphy AnneZanoni AntonVanderWyst BarbaraTrumpinskiRoberts BillChilders BillKolasa BillPutt BrianDecker BrianJohnson CarlGregory CathyRaymond ChrisDiBona ChuckFirment ClifFlynt DanDeSloover DanSkelton DanielPeisach DavidKlecha DianeFrkin EdGardiner EricMilliken EricRaymond FlavioDaCosta FrankHayes GailChristopherson GregBarker HowardTayler JamesKlass JamieSonderman JayMaynard JayWren JeffHemosBates JeffBeeler JessicaZerwas JoeSaul JohnCatherino JohnGuest JohnScalzi JorgeCastro KarenWasielewski KarlSchroeder KristenLooney KyleRankin LadySarah LukeSki ManyaNewton MarcusWatts MarkMiller MarshalNewrock MattArnold MichaelAndaluz MichaelMarcus MichaelZWilliamson NancyAtwell NealProbert NeilEpstein RachelWeisenfeld RichClark RichardHerrell RickLull RobBalder RobLandley RobMalda RonBlanchett RonWilson RyanAnderson SarahZettel SaumyaVanderWyst SethBreidbart SharonLee ShayVanZwoll SteveAndre SteveMiller SusanHarris TatsuyaMurase TheFerrett TimCrist TobiasBuckell TomPeters TomSkelton TomSmith TracyWorcester WilliamAkselKuehl **We received this from MiaMolvray in mid-to-late 2005:** MiaMolvray would like to volunteer for the following: I'm a molecular/evolutionary biologist (used to teach college), sf author (short stories published in Analog), and Linux user (on the newbie side, but what the hell). At MileHiCon and some others, I've been on panels or led discussions, and enjoyed that a lot. If you could use me in that capacity, I'd be glad to do it. Alien biologies, world-building, biotech are the sort of things I usually do at ordinary sf cons. At PenguiCon, portrayal of hackers in sf might be a topic. Or, on a more purely Linux note: trials and tribulations of Linux newbies in a Windoze world. Another is the whole controversy about the OpenSource / CreativeCommons model for authorship versus the [DRM], pay-per-view model.
