[OH-Publicity] Talks for SCALE

[Deb Nicholson]

> Are any of you submitting talks to SCALE, the Southern California Linux

I've already submitted one talk on Tech and Dystopia (possible
keynote?) and one on Delegation. I will probably submit a third talk
on "software patent aggregators" and may lead a workshop with Jake
Edge on messaging/talking to the press.

Agreed! Submit your talks for SCALE! I'm hoping to be in LA a day or
two early for dollar taco nights and/or the Kobe taco truck.
You can join me if you like!
Cheers,
Deb
