We would appreciate you mentioning our event to your students.  As computer science and technology students ourselves, we believe it is important that students be exposed to, and educated on, alternative computing platforms such as Linux and Open Source software. We are including a promotional code (EDU10), which will provide your students with 50% off our conference registration.

Additionally, you can find event fliers on our website at http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale8x/flyers-and-logos

In addition to the educational seminars and discussion sessions, a number of the vendors exhibiting at SCALE 8x will be recruiting for development and systems administration positions in the Southern California area.  These include: Facebook, Google, Ticketmaster, and others. This would be a great opportunity for students looking for full time jobs or internships to meet with organizations who are hiring for careers in Open Source platforms and development.

The promo code 'EDU10' will allow the user to receive 50% off a full conference pass ($30 instead of $60). Students may register online at the following link: https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/reg7/ If you need additional information regarding this year's event, please feel free to contact me at the e-mail address or phone number listed below. We look forward to meeting you at SCALE 8x!
