The 2005 KansasFest Committee is pleased to announce some of the first details of KansasFest 2005, giving the event an approved "go" sign.
"Rockhurst University is officially prepared to receive the dozens of geeks who will invade their campus this summer," said Tony Diaz, Committee Big Cheese " - or so they think."
Kicking off the official festivities at this year's convention will be a keynote speech delivered by longtime KFest attendee and Apple II user Ray Merlin. A longtime supporter of both the computer and the community, Merlin will be sharing with his audience some reflections of his years watching the Apple II community evolve. "When you ask a guy 75 years old to share some of his thoughts with a somewhat captive audience, it becomes impossible to resist," said Merlin. "You give an old guy the floor and anything can happen!"
The following days will consist of official events including informational sessions, the KFest Kookout, the HackFest programming challenge, and more. Before the convention concludes with the annual Vendor Fair, Friday night will witness the tradition of the Celebrity Roast, with this year's guest of dishonor Juiced.GS associate editor Ken Gagne.
"It'll be interesting to be on the other side of the flamethrower, for a change," said Gagne, who has emceed the Celebrity Roast for the past four years. Whether or not he will function in this capacity this year as well remains to be seen.
