The call for papers to the eighth annual Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE 8x) has been extended to Dec. 24. Scheduled to be held at the Westin LAX on Feb. 19-21, the event offers presentations covering embedded topics, such as netbooks, Moblin, and improving embedded start-up time, say the organizers.

Registration is now open for SCALE 8x, and the call for papers has been extended to Dec. 24. As with previous incarnations of this general-purpose Southern California Linux show, SCALE 8x covers desktop, kernel, and embedded topics.

Additionally, the show organizers are seeking more paper submissions for two tracks to be held on the first day of the conference: Women In Open Source (WIOS), and Open Source in Education (OSSIE). There is also a "SCALE University" training program on system administration to be held on Friday, offering different classes based on skill level. The classes are presented by the League of Professional System Administrators (LOPSA) in partnership with SCALE.
