DuckFest

From Compsci.ca Wiki

Duckfest is the annual festival of compsci.ca, when during the month of november, members are encouraged to use their own unique duck avatar.

History

Duckfest was sparked during a spirited conversation in compsci's very own IRC chatroom. According to DuckFest Fanatic/co-ordinator/expert Cervantes:

"Duckfest was created in this very IRC chatroom, if you pay close enough attention, you can still sense its lingering essence!"

Duckfest 2005 was then kicked off in the thread: Attack of The Ducks!

Although at first, change came slowly, soon the pace picked up and eventually hacker dan himself joined up:

""Hacker Dan also joined up, and enthusiastically too. He traded in his old avatar for a robotic duck, and later created a rotating quotes system for the benefit of all humanity.", Cervantes explained.
