LOS ANGELES --  Ubuntu announces that it will hold the first UbuCon hosted at the Southern
California Linux Expo (SCALE 8x) on Friday, Feb. 19, in an all-day session of talks and
activities.

Part unconference and part scheduled sessions, UbuCon will cover what is going on with, and how to
improve, the Ubuntu community. The final hour of the event will include lightning talks.

Fedora will host its Fedora Activity Day (FAD), its second in Los Angeles at SCALE 8x, on Friday,
Feb. 19, with the focus on organizing Fedora Project/JBoss.org joint mentoring for the upcoming
2010 Google Summer of Code.

The Fedora team invites those interested in attending to help create process and how-to content,
solve and mentor problems and educate the wider community about how participation is conducted this
year in an effort to improve the capacity for more students and mentors for the Google program, as
well as others.

In addition, one of the mainstays of SCALE is the keysigning party, and once again SCALE 8x will
host the SCALE 8x PGP Keysigning Party on Saturday, Feb. 20.

A keysigning party is a get-together with PGP users for the purpose of meeting other PGP users and
signing each other's keys. This helps extend the "web of trust" to a great degree, while also
providing a forum to discuss strong cryptography and related issues.

The Southern California Linux Expo SCALE 8x will be held from Feb. 19-21 at the Westin Los Angeles
Airport hotel. For more information, visit http://www.socallinuxexpo.org
