1) What is BoCon?

BoCon is an event in Boise, Idaho to promote Open-Source Culture among artists, musicians and software developers.

2) What will happen at BoCon 2006?

BoCon will consist of a number of exhibits, shows and speaking events. Basically, it will be a bunch of crazy artists, hackers and musicians getting together to learn about Open-Source, exchange information and have fun.

3) Why is it called 'BoCon'?

BoCon is short for Boise Conference. The Con part refers to other hacking conferences such as DefCon or HoHoCon. However, we align ourselves more with the Open-Source movement than with hacking.
