EARLY DRAFT - THIS PAGE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE

Fedora is returning to the annual Southern California Linux Expo!

What, When, and Where?

Southern California Linux Expo (SCaLE) is a yearly Linux, free software, and open source conference that takes place in Los Angeles. Find out more about this event at: [1]

SCaLE 22x – the 22nd year of the Southern California Linux Expo – takes place on March 6th-9th, 2025, in Pasadena, CA.

Why does Fedora attend SCaLE?

SCaLE covers a region that spans the west coast, but also includes many guests worldwide. We as Ambassadors see the event as a focal point that draws visitors from all over the state of California and around the world. Since this event is the only one of its kind in this geographical area, we provide Fedora outreach and education to the Greater Los Angeles area. Most of the attendees are from locations that have and participate in Linux User Groups locally as well as from neighboring states and countries.

Each year, we bring forth the vision that Fedora is more than just another distribution. We interact with guests to see how they find Fedora useful, versatile, and feature-rich in their daily lives and bring the Fedora community together. Also the venue is in proximity to LAX, drawing locals, neighboring communities, and international guests.

What is the focus of the event?

We plan to provide booth demonstrations of the distribution and to entertain feedback and discussion. Our goal is to educate attendees about the various spins and environments available. General topics may include: Fedora Linux 41, GNOME 47 improvements, Linux Kernel improvements, DNF5, Systemd hardening, Bootupd, Ptyxis, and more..

How does our attendance at this event build users of or contributors to specific Fedora solutions and why are those particular solutions strategically important?

Our enthusiasm to educate inspires guests to contribute their time and expertise to teach and help with Fedora and to give back to the community.

How does our attendance at this event build users of or contributors to the Fedora platform's overall measured success?

Our outreach and networking fosters awareness that Fedora provides a positive addition to the Linux realm.

Booth visitors have the opportunity to provide verbal and written input about Fedora.
