[Fwd: [Scale-announce] SCALE Call For Papers closes Monday!]
So, I think we're going to have a booth at SCALE this year. Josh has volunteered to take a leadership role in that -- so I'm going to play SCALE cheerleader. Which means, SUBMIT ABSTRACTS! :)
It's February, and unlikely that the weather is better where you are than it is going to be in LA. Southwest flies to LAX so it means you can probably get a cheap flight. You can walk to the hotel from LAX[1]. The conference is on the weekend.
I think it would be very cool to have a set of Inkscape presentations. Forward this to your GIMP/Blender/Scribus friends, perhaps we can get a Linux Graphics track :)
SCALE is a cool conference, small and laid back. Still a volunteer run thing, so the registration fee isn't crazy. But, every year the speakers have gotten better, and the overall quality has gone up. I don't expect this year to be different.

[1] - Not that I would recommend this. The traffic around LAX is awful, so unless you're invincible to cars, take the hotel shuttle.

If you're considering making a presentation at the 5th annual So Cal Linux Expo, be advised that the window to submit your CFP closes Monday, November 20th. Get your proposal in now!
In the same vein, SCALE is sponsoring a one-day Open Source Health Care Summit on Friday, February 9th, just prior to the Expo. If you use Open Source software in the health care arena, here's your chance to talk about it. The CFP for the Summit closes December 29th. For more information, or for the details on the CFP, see http://socallinuxexpo.com/healthcare07/index.php.

Oh yea, that.
Any suggestions from people on what I might give a talk on? Anything others are planing?
I was going to try to see if there was anything already planned, then write up something to fill in the gaps. Of course, if no one else is going to be submitting, then my choices are wide open. :-)
Josh can count on me for booth manning at the least.

Just out of curiosity, do you have any tentative topics?

Great to hear! I look forward to working the booth with you again. :)
John Taber, any chance you might be down that way for SCALE again? And what about you Jon Phillips? I know you couldn't make last year, but is it a possibility for you to come down and represent Inkscape, Creative Commons, or both?
I'm looking forward to seeing what the reception (of Inkscape) and turnout will be like next year. I doubt we'll luck out and get next to Google again (which was great for us because of their overflow), but if Blender, Scribus, and GIMP have booths it could make for a great little area for all of the creative folk. :)
Ted, just to be proactive... do you have the contact info for that person from Wacom still? If so, I'd be happy to get the ball rolling on that (I know it's a few months out, but I figure it wouldn't hurt).

I know that it is a little late, but I've submitted an abstract for a talk on Inkscape Extensions. I doubt that was an area of competition :)

Yeah, I'll hunt that down and see what I can get. Also, I have the two PCs we used last year, but I'm not sure that 600 MHz is a good blurring demo :) I'll look around, but other ideas on hardware are welcome.

At the moment that "old analog LCD" monitor I brought last time is the only monitor I have running.
I might have things a little more settled by then (aka at least gotten one more monitor), but that does depend on timing of insurance details, etc.
I think that replacing the one CRT with a LCD really helped in the booth, so if anyone else who might be in the area could get ahold of one for the show, that would be very helpful. The more the merrier!
