It hardly seems like a year has passed since I attended SCALE 5x, but here it is time to pack up and head out for the sixth Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE) — which takes place this weekend, February 8 through February 10 at the Westin Los Angeles Airport.

I had the good fortune to attend last year and had a great time. Looking at the line-up for this year’s show, I suspect it’s going to be even more fun.

Because old habits die hard, I’ll still be reporting from SCALE this year. More specifically, I’ll be blogging about the show and will try to get some quality photos from the event as well. (While I’m on that topic — I’m looking for a new digital camera to replace my aging Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z20. Any suggestions from openSUSE users on best choices for digital cameras, or cameras to avoid at all costs?)

So, look for photos and reports from SCALE this weekend. If you’re attending, be sure to head by the openSUSE booth — I’m looking forward to meeting some of the openSUSE community live and in person, and participating in the “hallway track” at the show and talking shop about Linux, open source, and openSUSE.

I’m all about getting feedback from openSUSE users and potential users, so if you’re at SCALE, make a beeline for the openSUSE booth and let us know what you think about openSUSE.

See you in LA!

Hey!

I always use Sony Cameras, like W55 and W80 models. So easy to use and have a nice integration with Opensuse.

Welcome aboard!

Cheers!

Hey Gabriel,

Thanks!

I’ll take a look at those. I hope to pick one up before SCALE, but if not, at least right before I head to FOSDEM. I’ll be stressing my Flickr account to the limit. :-)

Best,

Zonker

I’m a fan of Canon camera’s myself (although I’ve not used their SLRs since the pre-digital trend). Currently I have an aging PowerShot 700IS and still love it – and works for me on openSUSE. Here’s a how-to for Canon EOS 30d with F-Spot and SLED. I’m sure it’d work with openSUSE too.
