news 28 Posted January 10, 2015 As we see the holiday season growing smaller in our proverbial rear-view mirror, the SCALE Team has been busy with preparations for SCALE 13x, the first-of-the-year Linux/FOSS expo in North America. Here are some initial developments: Early-bird Registration Ends Jan. 15: Yes, you have six days from today to take advantage of the discount prices for SCALE 13x – after Thursday, Jan. 15, the prices for registration go to their original levels. The discount levels for SCALE 13x which are good until Thursday are $60 for a Full Expo Pass and $10 for an Expo Only pass. On Friday, the rates return to their regular level, so register now for savings. Visit https://reg.socallinuxexpo.org/reg6/ to register. Linux Basics Class: Want to learn Linux or know someone who wants to? SCALE 13x welcomes you to our intense one-day introduction to Linux System Administration, taught by trainers from OneCourseSource. The class starts with a morning of installation and continues into the afternoon with training with hands-on system administration tasks. The course is limited to 20 students and the $60 fee is not eligible for promo codes. To register, visit https://reg.socallinuxexpo.org/reg6/ UpSCALE Talks: While the session schedules are being finalized, there is still a chance for you to submit an UpSCALE talk. Patterned after the Lightning Talks popularized at O'Reilly events, UpSCALE Talks give participants five minutes to speak on a topic accompanied by 20 automatically-advanced slides. It's a fast-paced, fun event for both the participants and the audience. To submit, send an email to info ( -at -) socallinuxexpo.org for more information. SCALE 13x is now a four-day event and will be held from Feb. 19-22 at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport hotel. SCALE has negotiated a special conference room rate of $115 per night, plus tax, using the code SCL if you reserve online or by calling the hotel directly at 310-410-4000. Registration is now open and you can register by visiting https://reg.socallinuxexpo.org/reg6/ For more information on SCALE 13x, visit http://www.socallinuxexpo.org -- Share this post Link to post
