Southern California Linux Expo has had its recent conference, this is the
speaker program:

Whilst some speakers provide their presentations with the program others
only provide an abstract. I will give you all a couple of interesting talks
with presentation downloads.

For Fedora users we have Clint Savage West Regional Ambassador for the
U.S.A.:

I laughed at his blog because he was apprehensive about meeting Jono Bacon,
the Ubuntu  Community Manager (No flame wars please):

All you have do Clinty is play good guitar music prior to your presentation.

Linux Chix of the conference? Well it has to be 'Stormy Peters', the
executive director of the Gnome Foundation:

You don't mess with her, why do you think she is called "Stormy"?

I will post the SCaLE 7x videos when they are put on their server, in the
meantime here are last years's videos for the Linux addict:

with you - plenty of kisses)
