SCALE 9x Update: UpSCALE Talks/Birds of a Feather

LOS ANGELES – You have something to say, but you’re only allotted several minutes and the presentation slides automatically change as you speak. Think you can do it?

The 9th annual Southern California Linux Expo will hold its UpSCALE talks on Friday, Feb. 25 at 8 p.m. in the La Jolla room at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport hotel. It is part of SCALE 9X, the first Linux expo of the year, which is held at the same venue from Feb. 25-27.

UpSCALE talks, held in the style of the Ignite presentations made popular by various O'Reilly-sponsored events, allow the six scheduled participants five minutes to speak on a topic, accompanied by 20 automatically-advanced slides provided by each speaker. This makes UpSCALE a fast-paced, fun event for participants and audience.

Also, SCALE 9X will continue the tradition of providing space for groups to meet and discuss their common interests. These sessions are commonly referred to as Birds of a Feather sessions, or BOFs. The BOFs will be held on Friday and Saturday evening at the Hilton.

Groups who are interested in meeting at SCALE 9X can see which slots are available by visiting http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/special-events/scale-9... and then contacting Gareth Greenaway at gareth@socallinuxexpo.org with a description of the session and the top two time preferences.
