"Linux is taking over the world"



I like this article with some cold hard facts about the reasonsLinux will is taking over:
"The primary drivers behind this idea of desktop Windows displacement are:
1) Interface - People don't like Windows 8.x.2) Price - People are tired of the constant hardware, software, and OS upgrade cycle.3) Security - People are tired of viruses, malware, and hacks.4) Loss - People are tired of losing data when a disk crashes or a device is stolen.5) Battery Life - Mobile users need longer battery life.6) Usability - More versatile than a tablet. Less cumbersome than a laptop.7) Browser-based - The future of software is SaaS.

One of my best friends is Kevin Smith, business editor of the San Gabriel Valley News. His office is right on Colorado Blvd near the Convention Center, and he seems to hang out with a lot of politicians and business leaders in the area.
I've mentioned Scale to him a couple of times, and tried to explain that Linux is taking over the world; who else can talk to him about the importance of this conference? Can we arrange for him to interview some of the speakers, especially the keynotes?
I'll send him the link to the website for starters.
