Right in time for Toronto's first Penguin Day, Canada's wire service has a story on the global movement of Penguin Days entitled 'Programmers Changing the World One Line of Code at a Time.'
Allen Gunn and Katrin Verclas of Aspiration co-conspirited the first-ever Penguin Day in Phildelphia in March 04. Since then, Penguin Days--events introducing nonprofits to open source tools and developers, and developers to nonprofit needs--have hatched in places as far-flung as London and Portland, Oregon. Similar events in San Francisco, Chicago, and Jonannesburg are being planned.
