[SGVLUG] Fwd: [Scale-announce] SCALE Gears Up!

[matti]

It was great to see Matthew and a few others out
at ITEXPO. 

Re SCALE (socallinuxexpo.org)

On the SPOT Matthew!

Folks, seriously, having gone to a pile of conferences,
SCALE represents one of the BEST deals you will EVER
see.

Commercial type conferences will run $$$ for the
conference sessions. ( a full pass at ITEXPO for all
3 days was $1600-$2200.. a break of $4k/$5k for 
upto 5 people, aka a company pass. )

variously linux/unix/open source conferences are
perhaps a bit more affordable, and also are very good. 
( apachecon, oscon, LISA, etc.. references below )

Matti and I were discussing SCALE at the ITEXPO. The main 
point that we'd like to get across is that SCALE is a 
conference for all. It's one of the best conferences for 
your money, I think.

to learn much...
