[Fwd: Re: Gnome at Southern California Linux Expo 4]


Hi all,
SCALE 4x is a Linux end-user targetted conference by the South California LUG. It'd be great to have some kind of presence there, either a stand or a speaker.
I don't know anyone in the area, though, and I guess that you'd have to talk to the organisers (once a proposal is made) yourself for expenses and the like.
Can GNOME people in Southern California please make themselves known to me, so that we can see whether doing a stand is realistic? And if anyone in interested in doing a talk, consider yourselves notified :) 

Cheers,
Dave.

Howya,

We'd love to be there. I'll pass this on to some community lists, and
see who we have in the area (looking at
http://www.gnome.org/~jdub/random/GnomeWorldWideHuge.jpg, California's
under-represented, but we'll figure something out).

If we don't have the man-power, then a booth might be a little
difficult. I would love to see some GNOME speakers, though. SoCal
doesn't have any GNOME users hiding away, does it?

What are the conditions on the CFP? How many talks are you going to
have? What is the target audience? Will you be covering travel expenses
for people presenting papers?

Thanks for the information. It's always good to hear about new conferences.

Cheers,
Dave.
