[Gareth Greenaway]

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 confirmed speaker list for the main conference is now available online and can be found here, http://scale7x.socallinuxexpo.org/conference-info/speakers.  The speaker schedule should be available and online shortly.

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.

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.

If your group would like to meet at SCALE, email gareth at socallinuxexpo.org to reserve a space.  See http://scale7x.socallinuxexpo.org/conference-info/birds-of-a-feather for the times and rooms.
