  <a href="http://gareth.wiked.org/">Gareth</a> dropped me a note that we have been approved to have a booth at <a href="http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/">SCALE 6x</a> in February of next year. I&#8217;m very excited, as I had a blast at <a href="/?p=87">last year&#8217;s show</a>. If you haven&#8217;t been to SCALE, I&#8217;d consider going. It&#8217;s a cross between <a href="http://www.usenix.org/event/lisa07/">LISA</a> and <a href="http://www.linuxworldexpo.com">LinuxWorld</a>, but it is also more intimate and informal, whereas the other shows are pretty large and the latter is very corporate. We had booth bunnies at the last SCALE (grin).
