For 2009, SCALE will reprise the Women In Open Source ("WIOS"), and OpenSource Software In Education ("OSSIE") specialty tracks on the Friday prior to SCALE.
DOHCS, the Demonstrating Open Source Health Care Solutions conference, has spun off on its own but will be co-located with SCALE on the Friday prior to SCALE. See their web site at http://www.dohcs.org for info.
SCALE 7x, the premier Open Source Community conference in the southwestern United States, returns to the Westin LAX Hotel, site of the 6th Expo!
For 2009, the main weekend conference at SCALE 7x has been expanded. In addition to the three main tracks, a Beginner's track and a Developer's track have been added.
SCALE will be February 20th - 22nd, 2009. Mark your calendars!
SCALE needs YOU to speak at SCALE! Whether you are an experienced user of Open Source software, or have only been in using it for a few months, if you have a story to tell, we'd like to hear it!
We have a need for speakers across the experience spectrum, from the Developer's track to the Beginner's track. If you enjoy speaking, consider applying for a speaker position.
SCALE had a chance to chat with Ken VanDine of Foresight Linux recently. His thoughts about how to REALLY manage a Linux distro are here.
SCALE recently interviewed Joe Brockmeier, the OPENSUSE Community Manager. That interview is here.
Several of the guys manned a booth at OSCON, handing out SCALE fliers, and generally pimping SCALE.
Gareth filed this report on the trip:
Hey everyone,
