Call for Papers
----------------
The Linux Exposition of Southern California is proud to announce the 7th
Annual Southern California Linux Expo scheduled for February 20-22, 2009
at the Westin Hotel near the Los Angeles International Airport. Wide
spread acceptance and encouragement from the user community has
established SCALE as a premiere Linux/Open Source conference in the
Southern California region.
This year, we are proud to announce the addition of two specialized
tracks in addition to the three existing tracks that we have every year.
These specialized tracks are going to be (i) beginners' track (ii)
developers' track.
In the past few years, we have found that a large percentage of our
attendees is comprised of beginning Linux users; some who are still
unsure about what lies ahead if they migrate to Linux/Open Source
Software (OSS). We are dedicating a complete track to better inform such
users of the benefits of moving to Linux/OSS and potentially assist them
in making their transition easier. We are calling this track the
Beginner's Track.
The other core constituency of our attendees over the last few years
have been the people who use Linux/OSS regularly and are interested in
enhancing their understand- ing of its inner workings. We have decided
to dedicate a separate track for those power users and are calling it
the Developer's Track.
Continuing our efforts to promote and educate the public about open
source, we invite you to share your work on Free/Open Source projects
with the rest of the community as well as exchange ideas with some
leading experts in these fields. Details about previous editions of
SCALE can be found at http://www.socallinuxexpo.com/scale7x/past/.
We have listed some topics of interest below, with the caveat that
depending on the talk content any of the topics mentioned below
could fit into any of the program tracks, including beginners and
developers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Core Operating System Issues (Developer Track)
* Kernel Internals and Enhancements
* Unix variants: Tools and Appliances
* Operating Systems for Embedded Platforms
* Virtualization
* System Administration: Low-level Details
* In-depth Programming/Scripting with Open Source Languages
Open Source for Beginners (Beginner's Track)

The proposals should be submitted as a 1-page extended abstract comprising:
(i) Title for the talk
(ii) Name, affiliation, bio, a passport size picture, and contact email
address of the presenter. Please ensure that the personal biography is
not more than 1000 characters; focus on relevant experience to your
proposal topic and write from the third-person perspective.
(iii) What will be covered? A list or a brief description of the main
points to be presented should be submitted.
(iv) Please indicate if the talk will be suitable for the beginners
track, developers track or the general tracks. This will aid the SCALE
