The Linux Expo of Southern California, parent organization of the popular Southern California Linux Expo, announced today that it will sponsor events during the observation of Software Freedom Day 2011, to be held Sept. 17, 2011.
By doing so, the Linux Expo expands its efforts to popularize the use of Free and Open Source Software beyond the Southern California Linux Expo, which is held annually in February.
The Linux Expo will accept proposals from Southern California groups for events observing Software Freedom Day, and will issue five grants of up to $500 each to support each event. The funding may be used for space rental, media duplication, printing costs or other expenses related to their event.
Groups from San Luis Obispo County south to the California-Mexico border, and from the Pacific Ocean east to the California-Nevada border, are encouraged to apply.
Interested groups can send their proposals to press@socallinuxexpo.org. All proposals must be received by July 31, 2011.

Hey Izabel and Roger,
I have been giving this some thought since the original email from Izabel. I have had a few ideas that were mostly crap... the only halfway good Idea I had was to set a booth up at college and pass out openSUSE DVDs and maybe some other cool stuff. But, I don't know if this is good enough for them to select that idea for any funding. Does anyone else have any ideas that could point us in a better direction?

Its a great idea combined with an install fest :) Make sure your proposal looks good enough or feel free to discuss it over the marketing list

Thanks Manu, it does make it seem like a better idea if we were doing installs too. I am sure I can get this organized. I will have to work on that proposal though... I don't consider writing to be a strength of mine. I have till July 31st to get it polished up. when I get something put together I will post it here for some opinions.
