Hi...<br><br>This came to my husband Ed's email today... guess they assumed he was the techie in the family... wrong! <br><br>Both OLPC and SugarLabs should have a big presence at this event. It has led us to some valuable contacts in the past 2 years. I plan to do a presentation on the Contributors Program and help set up and "person" (not "man") a booth with XOs in the exhibit hall. Many attendees will already have their own XOs. We should have a big SoaS setup too... <br><br>Imagine a huge hall filled with open source developers and companies that use open source or do things related to it. Techie heaven! <br><br>If you want to present in the education track... it is called OSSIE (Open Source Software In Education) and is only on Friday. Not well attended though b/c teachers can't get the time off... too bad. When you sign up you will find other tracks as well. Pick the one that makes the most sense for your topic.<br><br>The CFP follows.<br><br>Hope to see many of you there!<br><br>Caryl<br><br>______________________________________________________________________________<br><br>The Eighth Annual So Cal Linux Expo is coming! It will be February 19th-21st, 2010, and will again be at the Westin LAX.<br><br> The Call for Papers for the conference is now open. Besides the regular conference tracks, SCALE 8x will include specialty tracks for both developers and beginners.<br><br> If you'd like to speak at SCALE 8x, see <a href="http://socallinuxexpo.org">http://socallinuxexpo.org</a> to submit your presentation proposal.<br><br> Mark your calendars – be in Los Angeles February 19-21st, 2010 for SCALE 8x!<br><br> </body>
