Sorry if I am off the path...
I'm sure most people have heard of Linux, Open Source includes Linux,
SCALE 14X may register to most newbies.
The whole story/scoop for press and reporting seems to me--people creating open source, which
is best known as Linux. SCALE 14X is more than Linux, but Linux is included.
I have experience in the movie bizz (sorry) and see a lot of event and product placement...
a proven strategy piggyback branding (link below) can go a long way.
Just my thoughts, like I said, I am Newbie,
just sharing a relatively new to Open Source and not too old Outsiders perspective.
This is what I see on the SCALE 14X website, thinking what is SCALE 14X?
SCaLE = So. Cal. Linux Expo
"SCaLE is the largest community-run open-source and free software conference in North America. It is held annually in Los Angeles."
"As the first-of-the-year Linux/Open Source software expo in North America,"

That's correct. We are promoting the expo -- we promote Linux
through the expo.

I thought the purpose of this meeting was to promote Scale 14x, and not Linux? After all promoting Scale promotes Linux, but promoting Linux doesn't promote Scale.

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.
