SCALE 5x Impressions
SCALE is the Southern California Linux Expo and is turning out to be one of the premier Linux meetings of the year. This year attendance was about 1200 with 90 booths. While other conferences are larger, this one is nice because you actually get to spend quality time talking to people and finding out things. Here are some of my impressions:
* I’ve noticed a big shift in the type of attendees from hobbyists to mostly small - mid business people and now even a few bigger corporate types (and remember this is on a weekend). At our Inkscape booth many visitors were asking serious questions on how they could integrate Inkscape and SVG into their business.
* Lots of national and even international vendors were there (IBM, Google, Dell, Red Hat, TrollTech, Verio, NovellSoft etc). Yet there was also a good showing by the open source projects (Inkscape, Postgresql, Gentoo, Debian, ….). It was a good, fun community mix.
* On Sat. our Inkscape booth was often packed - at times it looked like we easily outdrew the flashy commercial booths on both sides of us.

The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
