After much procrastination, I eventually got around to writing Gentoo's proposal for exhibitor status at the sixth annual Southern California Linux Expo. A few days after submitting the application, I received an email from one of the SCALE organisers stating that it has been accepted. Although Gentoo will not have any speakers at the event, this does mean that we will have a booth on the exhibit floor. SCALE will be the perfect opportunity for those near Los Angeles to learn more about Gentoo and have a chance to meet some of the developers.

Gentoo attendance at the last SCALE event was a massive success and quite a few Gentoo developers showed up. I do not yet know who will be attending this year, but hopefully we can achieve a similar turnout. While not much internal planning has yet occured, the fact that our presence there is now confirmed allows for more serious planning to commence. I have set up a project page which can be used to track progress and ensure that communication is present. I would also like to mention that the Gentoo Events team sent my way a beautiful poster which will be displayed at the booth.
