Sharpen those No. 2 pencils: One month remaining in the SCALE 9x Call for Papers

LOS ANGELES (Nov. 4, 2010) – In an effort to continue our efforts to
promote and educate the public on Free/Open Source Software projects,
the Southern California Linux Expo SCALE 9x invites you to share your
work with the rest of the FOSS community by submitting a talk for the
first-of-the-year Linux expo.

“As the first major Linux event of the year, SCALE 9x gives speakers
an opportunity to set the tone for what’s ahead in the coming year,”
said Shyam Kapadia, the chair of the SCALE 9x Speakers Committee. “For
developers and those who advocate FOSS, it can serve as a springboard
for further success as the year progresses.”

The deadline for the SCALE 9x Call for Papers is a little over a month
away, on Dec. 13, with notification of acceptance being sent to
speakers by Dec. 27.

Considering the rapid rise in the adoption of open source in the last
few years, SCALE 9x encourages proposals directed toward open source
success stories, open source expansion into different markets and
fields, as well as novel applications.

Expanding on the success of the previous years, SCALE 9x will have
five speaker tracks, including two specialized tracks, (the beginners'
track and the developers' track) and a new system administration track
catered toward the growing population of attendees interested in using
open source alternatives for system administration tasks. The
remaining two speaker tracks fall under a general category that will
accommodate talks across a wide spectrum of interests and skill
levels.

Some topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

-- Kernel Internals and Enhancements
-- Unix variants:Tools and Appliances
-- Open Source for Embedded Platforms
-- Open Source development tools for Mobile Devices
-- Open Source for Cloud Computing
-- Open Source for Unified Communications
-- In-depth Programming/Scripting with Open Source Languages (Examples
include Perl, Ruby, PHP, Python, etc.)
-- Desktop Operating Systems Linux/Unix/Windows Inter-operability
-- Shell Programming
-- Open Source Productivity Applications Tools for Multimedia and Gaming
-- Tools for Profiling and Performance Tuning
-- Open Source Animation Tools
-- Open Source Database Platforms
-- Open Source Licensing
-- Government Policies with Open Source
-- Open Source Promotion and Adoption: Current State
-- Open Source Success Stories
-- Open Source Audio/Video Manipulation tools
