Closing Game

name:Tim Bird
links:none on file
slides:none on file

A live closing session runs a Jeopardy-style quiz called Peril (Jeopardy parody) with the audience split into front, middle and back teams, two timed rounds plus Final Peril wagering and a last-stage rock‑paper‑scissors knockout to decide prize winners. Donated hardware includes DragonBoard, NanoBoard, Raspberry Pi, a pocket Beagle from Texas Instruments, a 3TB Western Digital drive and a Sony pico projector; Python-driven slides risk exceptions but the game completes and prizes get handed out, ending with the claim that Linux is now the most pervasive OS.
