We look forward to seeing you there!

In the meantime, keep up with us on Matrix to chat with us between SNUG events.

What is SCALE?

SCALE is North America's largest community-run open-source conference, running since 2002. It's a great way for those interested in Linux and FOSS to gather and talk about the latest news. Topics range from open-source infrastructure and kernel developments to desktop software demos like GIMP or Kdenlive.

Who should go?

Anyone can join! It's a wonderful environment, especially for new Linux users. You'll learn a ton and discover new things about the ever-changing scene.

What if I'm a BSD user?

Come anyway! We'll talk about the kernel together :^)
