SCaLE has always been good to us and provided free booth space (usually in a great location) and with plenty of extra tables and chairs. One year we were able to donate a couple of "lightly used" XO's and a few other goodies for their raffle. If anyone has any ideas of ways we can support them similarly in 2014, please let me know!<h1 class="parseasinTitle " style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.7em; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; "><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Those of us who will be attending the SF Summit next month can discuss what we would like to do to make our booth even better than ever! I'll confirm with Gareth that we will be there, but I wanted to let you all know about the possibilities of doing several different presentations. Be thinking about what you would like to do. Proposals are due in December, so there is lots of time to come up with something really great... maybe even doing some team presentations.</span></h1><div><span style="font-size: 12pt; ">If you haven't been to SCaLE and/or haven't presented and have any questions... just let me know!</span></div><div><br></div><div>Caryl<br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2013 19:26:36 -0700<br>From: gareth@socallinuxexpo.org<br>To: caryl@laptop.org<br>CC: gerald@socallinuxexpo.org<br>Subject: Invitation to OLPC for SCALE 12x<br><br> <b style="font-weight:normal;" id="ecxdocs-internal-guid-1308fcb8-4dc7-920a-7f44-c75ee15f8121"> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Greetings Caryl,<br class="ecxkix-line-break"> <br class="ecxkix-line-break"> I hope this email finds you doing well.
