Hello all you OSSIE (Open Source Software In Education) Fans!
Now is the time to put SCaLE 9X on your calendars for Saturday, February 26 for a day of fun and amazement at the Hilton LAX. This is an event for everyone in the family because the exhibit hall is much like a huge science fair with lots of interesting things to see and learn. Here is a partial listing of exhibitors: http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/exhibitors On Saturday, in addition to visiting the exhibit hall, you can take advantage of a full day of speakers and a hands-on workshop, all related to OSSIE. And, on Saturday evening there will be a gathering of folks interested in OSSIE with a raffle with some really cool prizes. The schedule and final details for Saturday's events aren't available yet, but I will send them in a follow-up message as soon as they are. Currently there are plans to offer the hands-on workshop also on Friday and Sunday. That way, if you have other sessions you would rather attend on Saturday, you will still be able to participate in the workshop. SCaLE 9X registration is now open. If you are either a student or a teacher (any level pre-K through college) you can register for half-price! That is just $35 for a day of fun and learning. There is a special link for students and teachers to register: http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/special-events/open-source-software-education For everyone else, the price is $70, unless you are only interested in the exhibit hall, which costs just $10. The link is: https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/reg7/ I don't know yet what the cost is for children, but I will find out and let you all know. If you are an XO or Sugar user and would like to help out with the OLPC/Sugar Labs booth on Saturday or Sunday, I will need a few people to assist there, and can provide full registration passes for a limited number of people. if you would like to take advantage of this opportunity to help people play with XOs and Sugar while spreading the open source software in education message, please let me know right away! Watch for more info soon! I hope to see many of you there next month. Caryl Bigenho, OLPC and Sugar Labs Volunteer P.S. Please forward this message to anyone you know is interested in Open Source Software In Education. Thanks!
