Dear MAGNetCon Followers: It has become clear over recent weeks that it will be impossible for us to devote time to planning MAGNetCon due to a large number of other responsibilitie and commitments. Therefore, with regret, we announce that our effort to bring this conference to life has ended. We appreciate the previous interest of community members in this event and we would still like to see MAGNetCon become a reality. If anyone would be interested in taking over the reigns to try and start a free software con in the Saint Louis, Missouri area we would welcome the interest. If said party would be interested in acquiring the current assets of MAGNetCon, including the Web site and contact information of our interested speakers, sponsors and volunteers, please e-mail us. Regards, MAGNetCon
