The 7th Annual So Cal Linux Expo is shaping up nicely.  In spite of
adding an additional track to the weekend conference, all four tracks
have been filled.  The Expo received 148 submittals, all of which were
excellent, for 45 speaker slots.   The speaker selections have been
completed and the speakers are being notified.   Keynote speaker
selection is in progress.

While the Call For Papers for the main conference is closed,  the
Calls for both WIOS and OSSIE are open until December 31st, and there
are still a few speaker slots available for those specialty
conferences.  The Calls for Papers WIOS and OSSIE can be found at
http://www.socallinuxexpo.org.

SCALE University is open for registration - these intensive classes
are very popular; don't delay applying if you're considering
enrolling.  Class specifications can be found at
http://scale7x.socallinuxexpo.org/conference-info/scale-u.
Registration for SCALE U is an option as part of the regular SCALE
registration process.

There also a few slots remaining for both commercial and non-profit
exhibitors on the Expo floor.   If your company or group is
considering exhibiting at SCALE, don't wait - apply now!   Commercial
exhibitors should apply to sponsorship at socallinuxexpo.org, and
non-profits should apply to gareth at socallinuxexpo.org.

Some of the commercial exhibitors are HP, IBM, Sun, Talend, and
Zenoss.   A few of the non-profit groups exhibiting are GNOME, KDE,
Fedora, Ubuntu, openSUSE, Rockbox, and Coreboot.  For a list of
exhibitors to date, see
http://scale7x.socallinuxexpo.org/conference-info/exhibitors.

BOFs are "Birds Of a Feather", ad hoc meetings of people with common
interests.  SCALE makes space available for BOF meetings.  Those BOF
slots are now available.  If your group would like to meet at SCALE,
email gareth at socallinxexpo.org to reserve a space.  See
http://scale7x.socallinuxexpo.org/conference-info/birds-of-a-feather
for the times and rooms.
