SCALE 10X to host free SCALE Kids Conference in LA

SCALE 10X to host free SCALE Kids Conference in LA

RePost

For the first time in its ten year historyr, the Southern California Linux
Expo will host the SCALE Kids Conference, a free and open source event
where the community leaders of tomorrow will be able to spotlight
their talents and ideas.

The goal of the conference is to be as "kid-driven" as possible. The
event offers a unique opportunity for kids 10 to 16 to see and
experience the inner workings of planning, determine the content, and
help to steer the direction that the conference will take.

The SCALE Kids Conference will take place on Saturday, Jan. 21, 2012
in parallel with the main SCALE 10X conference.

For those parents and kids interested in helping to plan the event,

join the scale-kids mailing list at the following URL.

https://lists.linuxfests.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scale-kids

SCALE 10X will be held from Jan. 20-22 at the Hilton Los Angeles
Airport Hotel. For more information on SCALE 10X, visit

Google IO is closed!!

This year, the main Google event of the year was filled to capacity in less than a day!!

Alumni from the 2010 event got early notification. Since I only was at 2008 and 2009, I did not get early notification, even though I did ask Google for this. It looks like the only way to get in next year is to make frequent contact with this year's attendees.

It looks like Google needs to use the entire Moscone Convention Center which would allow for double or triple the number of attendees.
