*Calling All FOSS Champions: Help Us Bring Amazing DotOrgs to SCALE 23x!*
SCALE 23x is right around the corner, and we’re gearing up to welcome the
strongest lineup yet of open-source projects, community groups, and
non-profit organizations. Our Community & Non-Profit Booth Program has
always been one of the most inspiring parts of SCALE — a place where
important missions, grassroots contributors, and world-changing ideas get
their moment in the spotlight. This year, we’re inviting you to help make
that magic happen.
We’re assembling a small team of volunteers to help us reach out to
incredible dotorgs and encourage them to apply for complimentary booth
space at SCALE 23x. These booths give qualifying non-commercial
organizations a free 10'x10' space on the expo floor, complete with power,
furniture, and exposure to thousands of engaged attendees. Projects gain
visibility, new contributors, valuable feedback, and the chance to connect
directly with the broader FOSS ecosystem.
*What will volunteers do?*
You’ll help identify great organizations, send friendly invitations, and
answer basic questions about the application process. If you’ve ever wanted
a low-pressure, high-impact way to give back to open source, this is it.
Outreach can be done on your own schedule and from anywhere — all you need
is enthusiasm for the community and a willingness to help great projects
shine.
*Why help?*
Because many small projects and non-profits don’t realize opportunities
like this exist. A quick nudge from a volunteer often makes the difference
between a group attending SCALE or missing out entirely. Your outreach
directly expands the diversity, creativity, and reach of the event.
If you’d like to join the outreach team or know a dotorg that should
exhibit, we’d love to hear from you. Email bala(a)socallinuxexpo.org to get
involved.
Let’s work together to bring the next wave of inspiring open-source
organizations to SCALE 23x!
