I heard about it during its infancy but never even looked into it thinking it would be just as expensive as OSCON. Boy was I wrong! The first year I attended, it cost $60. This year the cost is $70. That's $70 for THREE days, which is a steal! Factor in the discounts provided to local open source user groups & it is downright highway robbery. You really cannot beat it.</p> <p>Luminaries from across the open source universe abound. There are simply too many to list here. There will also be many open source-based companies on-hand hiring: <a href="http://facebook.com">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://google.com">Google</a>, <a href="http://eharmony.com">eHarmony</a> and <a href="http://ticketmaster.com">Ticketmaster</a>, to name but a few. There will be <a href="http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/exhibitors">exhibitors</a> ranging from local open source user groups to non-profits leveraging open source to make the world a better place to well-known linux distributions and everything in-between.</p> <p>The events kick-off on Friday with some great tracks including <a href="http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/special-events/devops-day-los-angeles">DevOps</a>, <a href="http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/special-events/build-open-source-cloud-day">Build an Open Source Cloud Day</a>, <a href="http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/special-events/los-angeles-postgresql-day">PostgreSQL Day</a>, <a href="http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/special-events/fedora-activity-day">Fedora Activity Day</a>, <a href="http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/special-events/ubucon">UbuCon</a>, <a href="http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/special-events/foss-mentoring">FOSS Mentoring</a> and <a href="http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/special-events/scale-university">SCALE U.</a>.
