[rt-users] OT: SCALE 4x - Call For Papers

[Ilan Rabinovitch]

Hello,

I appologize for the offtopic post, but I thought I'd point this out
in case someone wants to do an RT related talk at SCALE.

The call for papers for SCALE 4x, the 2006 Southern California Linux
Expo, is now open.  This event will be our fourth annual show.  It
will be held on Feb 11-12, 2006 at the Los Angeles Airport Westin. We
are expecting 1,300+ in attendance this year.  We are non-profit,
community run Linux, open-source and free software conference.

If you are working on something you believe the community
would be interested in, please consider submitting a presentation to
our call for papers.  I am including details bellow.
