Hi Lan,
Guilty as accused on all accounts. Will try to fix some of them.

tl;dr I don't see blogpost on website with announcement, and I don't see announcement @socallinuxexpo.
Thanks for the confirmation. I acknowledge that there is information on the website listing her talk.
The problem I've keep having with the SCaLE website is discoverability. When I try to tell people about all the cool stuff at SCaLE, I spend a lot of effort tracking down website links I can use to point people to information, instead of just trusting them to be able to discover it at https://socallinuxexpo.org
I can find things because I know they exist and where to look for them. Most people wouldn't go through this effort.
For example, while you have a blogpost listing Karen Sandler as a keynote speaker, I don't see a similar announcement for Dr. Moran. Karen Sandler is listed as a Featured Speaker, but Dr. Moran is not.
And I actually looked at the @socallinuxexpo Twitter feed going back to the announcement of Karen Sandler for keynote, and I don't see a similar announcement for Dr. Moran.
Because of an email newsletter, I know that Dr. Moran is a keynote speaker for Saturday. So I searched the speaker list to find the link to her presentation abstract. Now that the schedule is available, I also know to look at the Saturday schedule and click on the Keynote to get to this page.
Otherwise, it would never have occurred to me that you had confirmed a second keynote speaker.

It's on the site. And she is the speaker. Please promote it! I'm just as excited about her talk.
I do believe it was on twitter.

Hi all,
I saw a SCALE Newsletter that said that Dr. Christine Corbett Moran of Caltech will be the keynote speaker for Saturday.
I can see the entry on the schedule, but I'm perplexed why this was not announced on the SCaLE website or Twitter. http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/15x/speakers/christine-corbett-moran
She's one of my selling points for promoting SCaLE to the Caltech/JPL community, so I would like to know if I'm being premature in advertising this.
Thanks,
Lan
