Some shots from the Golden Penguin Bowl [LWN.net]

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.

	Our host, Jeremy Allison
	The Nerds: Jono Bacon, Joe Brockmeier, and Matt Domsch
	The Geeks: Greg Kroah-Hartman, Ted Ts'o, and Chris Wright
	The crowd gets ruthlessly rickrolled by the Nerds and the MC
	Chris Wright takes the controls; Ted Ts'o does his best to stay out of the way.
	We didn't need all those parts anyway, right?
	Matt Domsch achieves liftoff.

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? :)
