Ben "OpenSSL" Laurie sez, "Wonder if Codecon might be of interest to your readers - always a fun conference, the basis has always been 'bring working code', though not necessarily open source. This year adds a new twist with 'or bring working biohacks' which I think is going to be fascinating - if only I didn't have to be somewhere else!
Anyway, I was on the program committee and I think we have a pretty interesting lineup this year.
Cheap ($82.50)! Only guaranteed to get in if you buy in advance!"

Previously:
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
