[LA.pm] Fwd: Call for Papers for SCALE 9x opens

[Andrew Grangaard]

Thanks for the info Gabor and Todd,

It'd be fun to have an LA.pm booth there this year.  I've heard it is 
good conference.  I didn't know that we have had tables there in the 
past.  I'll bring this up at the September LA.PM meeting.

If anyone wants to come to LA to present we'd love to have you at LA.pm 
and/or ThousandOaks.pm!

Andrew (LA.pm host/wrangler/organizer)
