[lopsa-discuss] CFP Southern California Linux Expo

[unix fan]

I received this Call for Papers on the Unix Users of
SOuthern California mailing list. I believe it may be
of interest to other LOPSA members.

The Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE) web site is
at http://ww.socallinuxexpo.com for those wishing
background on SCALE and prior year SCALE events.
Corporate sponsors include IBM and Google. I believe
SCALE is the kind of regional event that LOPSA should
be affiliated with. And yes, I'm volunteering to be a
LOPSA rep in the exhibitor space if the board deems it
a good idea. 

The announcement follows (apologies to other LOPSA
members already on the UUASC list who have already
seen this announcement).
--------------------------------------------------------------
SCALE is currently in need of sessions and tutorials
specifically 
geared at new users to Linux and open-source.
If you are interested in speaking or running one of
these sessions please see the CFP below.

Thanks,
Ilan Rabinovitch
Conference Chair
