The Call for Papers for the 7th Annual Southern California Linux Expo opens August 4th 2008.  The CFP solicits proposals from those who wish to speak at SCALE in February.
 
SCALE7X is expanded from past years:  In addition to three general tracks, a Developer's track and a Beginner's track have been added.   So there are many more opportunities to speak at SCALE on a vastly wider breadth of topics than in the past.

Like a fine wine, SCALE continues to improve with age. The 7th Annual So Cal Linux Expo will be February 20-22, 2009.

For 2009, the Expo will return to the Westin LAX Hotel, site of the 6th Expo. Because interest in Open Source Software is steadily growing, attendance at SCALE continues to also grow. The depth and breadth of its audience is expanding, so the Expo will add additional speaker tracks to expand the educational opportunities for guests of all experience levels.

Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

Tell your friends - SCALE 7X is coming!
