Southern California Linux Expo Partners With Trovebox

At Trovebox we work hard to provide the simplest way for organizations to work with photos and videos. We’re big fans of SCALE. You might have seen us on the exhibitor floor in years past when we were OpenPhoto.

I reached out to Gareth and Ilan who help organize Scale to get their thoughts on running a photo contest. They thought it was a great idea so I got to work on setting everything up.
