We get it. Sometimes there's just too much to see and do at a convention. The exhibitors have a lot to tell you about their products, services or what they are doing in the community. How on Earth do you squeeze all this into a day?
Do you want to be part of the SCALE team? SCALE is entirely run by volunteers and community members. We will be onsite 1/19 - 1/22 tackling various projects and would appreciate helping hands.
SCALE has openings on a number of our teams including registration, A/V, speaker wrangling, and more. If you are interested in volunteering to help with SCALE 10x, please send an email to bala@socallinuxexpo.org.
We invited frequent SCALE speaker Aleksey Tsalolikhin to tell us about his upcoming SCALE University class on Time Management for Systems Administrators. This tutorial will be held January 20, 2012 at 2:30 at SCALE University.
UPDATE 12/22: The detailed schedule is now available.
Have you booked your travel for SCALE yet? The Hilton LAX is offering SCALE attendees a discounted room rate of $109/night as part of this year's show. That is one of the best rates in the LAX corridor!
Even if you are local, consider spending the night! Its a great way to avoid traffic and there are always plenty of evening activities at SCALE once the main conference program ends.
The results are in for the SCALE 10X Design Contest.The winner is Brian Beck of San Angelo, Texas, for his design, "We the People of Open Source.” A larger version of the image is available here.
Runners-up in the contest are Jennifer Rosenberg and Sirko Kemter in third. We will be posting a gallery of the entries in the next few days to show case the impressive designs submitted by the FLOSS community.
The SCALE call for papers will be closing this Thursday on November 17, 2011. If you still wish to be consired for presenting at this years event, head over to our call for papers and submit your proposal today!
