SCaLE 20x just wrapped up. We spent three days running the Debian booth: passing out stickers, penguin swag, coffee and cookies, and telling everyone that would listen about about our great OS. As usual, Richard Hecker, Chris McKenzie and I attended as the "LA Debian contingent". Mathias Gibbens flew in from Albuquerque, and Ha Lam and Syed Reza stopped by periodically. Chris created extra demand by restricting the supply of plushy penguins. Some kid was shocked at my old laptop, only to see Mathias pull out an even older one. And we finished off the conference by listening to Ken Thompson's tale about his music collection. Good times. The crew: Looking forward to next year!
