[Scale-announce] SCALE 5x is a success!

SCALE 5X has come and gone. By any measure, it was a success.  The few 
problems encountered were problems due to growth, and those are the kind 
you're happy to deal with.

The speaker sessions were HEAVILY attended.  SCALE set a high-water mark 
for single session attendance Saturday morning, broke it again after 
lunch, and broke it again in the afternoon.  Some of the rooms were 
filled to overflowing and the SCALE staff will address that for future 
Expos.

The Expo floor was busy most of the time; all the booths got lots of 
foot traffic, and that pleased everyone.  There was a lot of energy on 
the floor almost all the time.

The counts are in, and validated badges were about 1020 which is up 
significantly from last year.

SCALE 5X has gotten some good press.  We'd like to capture those on the 
Expo web site.  If you've seen an article about SCALE, we'd love for you 
to point it out.  Send the URL to leiz at socallinuxexpo.com

Thanks to all that came, and a special thanks to those that pitched in 
and assisted.
