<div class="PlainText">Just noticed that a GopherCon actually was a thing, at least in 1993.<br>
Did anyone from this list attend? What type of talks were there?<br>
Anything you can recall that really sparked your attention?<br>
<br>
Is there also an archive of GopherCon topics and talks in Gopherspace?<br>
Here's a document that I found, but can no longer access:<br>
gopher://it.is.rice.edu:70/00/TripReports/IS/gophercon-93<br>
<br>
Seems like we need a Wayback Machine for Gopherspace.<br>
<br>
Something that I also noticed from this URL is that the Gopher type is<br>
in double digits, whereas most Gopher types I see these days are only<br>
in single digits. Was there plans before to make Gopher type a double<br>
digit?<br>
<br>
Here's a HTTP version of the same document, if your curious for a read:<br>
<a href="http://prentissriddle.com/trips/gophercon1993.html">http://prentissriddle.com/trips/gophercon1993.html</a><br>
<br>
I'd say, we should contact the author of this website and ask if we can<br>
archive this document in Gopherspace.<br>
