February will be a busy month, first SCALE in Los Angeles and later in the month FOSDEM 2008 in Brussels. There are a couple of *don’t miss* talks on the packaging track at FOSDEM this year:

• Conary Packaging: Simply Powerful by Michael K Johnson
• PackageKit by Richard Hughes

I am also very excited to get the opportunity to hang out with some of the long time Foresight contributors, Antonio Meireles (doniphon), Mark__T and hopefully some others from Europe (pscott I am looking at you!).

I am hoping to do a lightening talk on the GNOME Developer Kit in the GNOME Dev room.

We have been on the hunt for a volunteer to head up a GNOME booth at the Southern California Linux Expo in February, but no luck yet, which is very disappointing. I would really hate for GNOME to miss the opportunity to participate in SCALE. I will be at SCALE myself, working the Foresight booth and giving a GNOME talk.

The great guys running SCALE have been holding a spot for GNOME, which I really appreciate. Is there anyone in California (or willing/able to travel to LA) who can take the lead on this? Or even just help out? Surely there must be someone in southern California who loves GNOME that would be willing to hang out and talk to folks for a couple days, it really is fun. Any takers, please let me know.

Woot! Foresight was just accepted for a dotORG booth at SCALE. What is SCALE? Southern California Linux Exposition in Los Angeles this coming February. Get venue for us, and the guys organzing it are quite cool. Also a big thanks to our chief cheerleader (marketing dude), Kevin Harriss for setting this up.
