UpSCALE talks at SCALE 10X are back again this year, on Friday, Jan. 20, at 8 p.m. UpSCALE talks are held in the style of the Ignite presentations made popular by various O'Reilly-sponsored events. Participants are given five minutes to speak on a subject accompanied by 20 automatically-advanced slides, making this a fast paced, fun event for participants and audience. To submit an UpSCALE talk, email gareth ( -at -) socallinuxexpo.org. BEGINNERS, LEARN LINUX SCALE 10X is proud to present its first ever Linux Beginner Training class – an intensive, two-day training class the same weekend and at the same venue as the expo. Presented by volunteer trainers, students will come away with the ability to install and maintain a Linux operating system. Cost of the class is $25, which includes a bootable USB thumb drive, handouts, and a pass to the SCALE 10X expo floor. Attendees are expected to bring a computer suitable for installing Linux. Laptops are encouraged but desktops are acceptable also.
