Southern California Linux Expo - Just around the corner!

by Fouad Bajwa

tuxwatch eventsThe USC, Simi/Conejo, and UCLA Linux User Groups will be holding “SCALE 5X: The Fifth Annual Southern California Linux Expo” from February 10-11, 2007. The event will bring together Linux and Open Source Software companies, developers, and users. The event will be covering the growing technological Linux community and its future directions. The Expo’s educational focus is composed of (but not limited to) technical seminars and booths where, among other things, both commercial software and hardware vendors, and local non-profit groups (for example, Linux Users Groups), participate in product display, and software demonstrations and tutorials, respectively. The event will be bringing together a blend of business leaders and technical experts.

The event is being organized by the Southern California Linux Expo, Inc SCALE that is a non-profit organization comprised of the members of the USCLUG, UCLALUG, and SCLUG with the mission to promote outreach. Their goal is to evangelize the advantages of FOSS and the target audiences are individual computer users, educational institutions, or businesses.
