SCALE: The Next Generation Invitation

Invitation for Participation in SCALE: The Next Generation 

The Southern California Linux Expo is proud to announce a conference
for the next generation of free and open source (FOSS) community
enthusiasts. SCALE: The Next Generation will be held Saturday, January
21, 2012, at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport hotel. 

We invite the youth of the FOSS community to share their enthusiasm
and excitement about FOSS projects with the other young people. 

Talk submissions are reviewed by a committee of youths, parents, and
volunteers planning the conference and evaluated solely on their
merits. We request that submission dates be strictly honored in order
to provide the committee enough time to choose the best set of
proposals. 

SCALE provides the presenters with: 

- microphone 

- overhead projector 

- a laptop running Linux with a PDF viewer as well as LibreOffice or
OpenOffice. 

Presenters will have the opportunity to give a 20- or 45-minute
presentation. We ask that the desired time slot be mentioned in the
submission. 

The goal of both SCALE and SCALE: The Next Generation is to educate
and encourage excitement about FOSS. Because of this we ask that all
presentations be submitted in a free and open format, such as
OpenDocument Presentation (ODP) or PDF formats. 

Additionally the conference will also provide space where the next
generation FOSS enthusiasts can see free and open source software and
hardware projects in action. We encourage those youths interested in
showcasing a project that they themselves are involved in or simply
excited about, to submit a one paragraph description about the project
and what attendees can hope to see. 

Submissions for both presentations and demonstrations should be
emailed to gareth@socallinuxexpo.org
<mailto:togareth@socallinuxexpo.org>

Important dates: 

Invitation for Participation Opens - November 29th, 2011 

Invitation for Participation Closes - December 19th, 2011 

SCALE: The Next Generation - January 21th, 2012
