Gnomedex
[[Image:Chris Pirillo.jpg|thumb|200px|Chris Pirillo at Gnomedex 2005'']]
'''Gnomedex''' is an annual technical conference, coordinated by [[Lockergnome]] founder [[Chris Pirillo]], that began in late 2001, and has so far been held six times. It is not affiliated with the [[desktop environment]] [[GNOME]]. The conference is typically held over the summer on a weekend, and focuses on leading-edge social and technical trends, most recently including [[RSS (file format)|R(contracted; show full)or everyone else", what Gnomedex is exactly about is not really known. It is geared towards not only being fun, but informative. While the conference is run professionally at high-end venues, sponsorship from large companies including [[Microsoft]], [[Yahoo!]], and [[Google]] keeps registration fees unusually low. Another uncommon feature is a single "stream" of speeches in one room holding a few hundred people, rather than parallel series of talks and discussions as at other conventions.

T
opics are vast, but activities arhe conferences have unusually centered on a theme: as.  At 2004's Gnomedex 4.0, the theme was "Taking the 'con' out of Convention", while Gnomedex 5.0's taglines in June 2005 included "The Technology People Aggregator" and "Grassroots of RSS, Blogging, Podcasting, BitTorrent, Media!" A bit odd, the mixture makes up an unusual conference experience.
