As with SCALE 5x, S6x will be held at the Westin Hotel at Los Angeles International Airport.
If you�re interested in speaking at SCALE, don�t wait to submit your proposal. Over their last couple of events, the Linux Expo has had many more people apply to speak than they have had speaker slots available. See the call for papers for details on how to apply for a speaking opportunity at SCALE.
Likewise, if you know someone who has something interesting to say about Open Source software, pass along the CFP to them and encourage them to apply.]]> 10 0 8 8 Wed, 19 Dec 2007 13:39:04 +0000 http://www.ppcnerds.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=378 Slackintosh 12.0 is finally out.
