Hi all,

I was trying to remember all of the HarnCons today. I went back to look and couldn't find all the details. I would like to propose an archive (this thread) for the HarnCons/IviniaCons. I would like to keep it short, this title post and one post per event. Ideally, each post should have a group photo (if one was taken, otherwise a photo with as many people as possible) and a list of all of the attendees for posterity.

The events have been (or will be):

HarnCon I - Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada - June 6, 7 & 8, 2003 - Organizers: Peter Leitch & Brian McNeilly
IviniaCon I - Borås, Sweden - August 8-10, 2003 - Organizer: Mikael Hegardt & Anders Bersten

HarnCon IV - Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA - September 8, 9 & 10, 2006 - Organizer: Ken Snellings
HarnCon V - Leeds, UK - September 7, 8 & 9, 2007 - Organizer: Andy Gibson
IviniaCon II - Höllviken, Sweden - August 15,16,17, 2008 - Organizer: Mikael Hegardt
HarnCon VI - Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada - August 29, 30 & 31, 2008 - Organizer: Brian McNeilly
HarnCon VII - Kansas City, Missouri, USA - August 14, 15 & 16, 2009 - Organizer: J. Pat McDonald
IviniaCon III - Varberg, Sweden - August 14, 15 & 16, 2009, Organizer: Anders Bersten
HarnCon VIII - San Diego, California, USA - July 30, 31, August 1, 2010 - Organizer: Dan Bell
IviniaCon IV - Lund, Sweden - August 6, 7 & 8, 2010 - Organizer: Mikael Hegardt (Forthcoming)
HarnCon IX - Wellington, New Zealand - January 22, 23 & 24, 2011 - Organizer: Jeremy Baker (Forthcoming)

Over the next day or so, I will go through the forum and my own archives to gather the information. If you have any info (or corrections), please send it to my personal e-mail address krmould (at) yahoo (dot) com.

Please do not post to this thread.

I would like to keep it short and solely as an archive of our Cons.

Please feel free to start a new thread, post to the old thread of the Con in question or contact me by PM.

More info coming from the earlier cons as I have time to gather it.

Thank you

- Kerry Mould

Sorry Kerry for ignoring your instruction above ...

As this is the 10th Anniversary of the conventions, it will be great if we can update this archive with the latest information. I'll be digging up the info on the two earlier Vancouver cons shortly.

BTW can an admin sticky this thread so it sits at the top of the list in the forum?

Thanks,
Brian
