CodeCon was an annual conference for software hackers and technology enthusiasts, held every year between 2002 and 2009.
[1] Bram Cohen and Len Sassaman are credited with devising and organizing the first conference at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco, California in 2002.
The conference was the result of discussion on building a small, programmer-focused convention.
[2][3][4][5] There were also panel discussions, including one about the legality of hacking, which focused on the actions of the MPAA and RIAA against peer-to-peer file sharing networks.
[7] Sassaman proposed to his then-girlfriend Meredith L. Patterson during the Q&A after her presentation at the 2006 CodeCon; the two were later married.
