[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi All....

Here is the latest news from SCaLE 9X!  Lots of fun stuff on the schedule.  Hope to see you there.  Don't forget we will have a short OLPC-SoCal/OSSIE-CUE meetup during the BOF (Birds Of A Feather) sessions at 7 pm on Saturday evening. We will finish in plenty of time for the reception, raffle, and laser tag activities.  Will you be the lucky one to win the Red XO?
