Penguin Days in the News: Programmers Changing the World One Line of Code at a Time

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.

So many good folks + topics at the summit!! I love the community you have fostered x1B. I came out so energized. Met new folks who I now love, and reconnected with old folks who I hadn't seen in *years*. w00t w00t and triple w00t!
