what you said sounds right to me. he referred us to the cfp i looked and found something i may submit for upSCALE SCALE 15X will have the following specialized tracks:
Open Source in Enterprises - Both small businesses & large enterprises are adopting Open Source to reduce costs, for higher agility and improving quality. This will be the focus of this newly introduced track with an emphasis on on real world examples.
<quote who="Caryl Bigenho"> Hi...
I've done a couple of UpSCALE talks in the past. I looked on past years pages but couldn't find the old instructions. I do remember it was Gareth's project and that we had to get our slide deck to him by a certain deadline so he could get the whole thing ready to go before the event. Also, as I recall, we only needed to submit a title in advance (maybe with a clarifying sub-title). The deadline to get the decks in was very close to the actual opening of SCaLE.
It seems having a separate instruction for it this year might clarify it for folks. You should be able to fit in 7 - 8 talks (that is what was done in prior years).

The CFP page has instructions on how to submit talks in general, rather than UpSCALE specifically. It applies to all programs at SCALE. With 12~ tracks at SCALE and half a dozen community events that need to get sessions into the SCALE website, building a new page for each isn't ideal.
Looks like have a few proposals already, so I think people are finding it? If you're concerned though could you take a stab and making changes to the text and posting it as a google doc or gist we can collaborate on?

Submission form: www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/15x/cfphttps://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/15x/cfp (remember to select UpSCALE for track/topic)
But there is no info on CFP page that says anything about UpSCALE or 5-minute talks, or the deadline and acceptance timeline for UpSCALE.
I would suggest either editing the CFP page so it applies to UpSCALE, or coming up with a separate UpSCALE CFP page.
