READY.
COMPUTE!'s Gazette is at VCF Midwest 21 this weekend — table D402/D403, both days.
And Saturday night, we close out the night with a talk:
"Loading… Please Wait: Bringing COMPUTE!'s Gazette Back After 30 Years"
Saturday, September 12 · 7:45 PM
Room 3 — Knowledge Track
Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center, Schaumburg, IL
In July 2025, the Gazette returned to print after a 30-year absence. This is the story of how that actually happened: the trademark, the archive, the contributors, the printing, and everything that went sideways along the way.
Stop by the table first — browse current issues, grab some exclusive merch, and talk shop with the team. Then bring your questions to Room 3.
Full schedule: vcfmw.org/talks
Admission to VCFMW is free.
