Editing QuakeCon (section)

=== Origin ===
QuakeCon originally grew out of a group of people on the [[EFnet]] [[Internet Relay Chat|IRC]] network, in channel #quake.  As various regular visitors to the channel began expressing a desire to meet and game together in person, Jim "H2H" Elson, a gamer from the [[Dallas, Texas|Dallas]] area with ties to the local Dallas-area gaming community, and Yossarian "yossman" Holmberg, a computer consultant from [[Waterloo Regional Municipality, Ontario|Waterloo]], [[Ontario]], Canada, came up with the idea of assembling at a hotel. The original event name was actually '#quakecon', named after the IRC channel, though this quickly evolved into just 'QuakeCon'.  Mr. Elson organized the bulk of the event for the first two years, until the number of people attending each year demanded a more organized approach.  Volunteers grouped into teams to assist in the setup, troubleshooting, and tear down of the event's equipment and network.{{citation needed|date=February 2023}}
