That made me laugh out loud! If I had been drinking something, my keyboard would have needed a serious cleaning. ;)

We did turn someone’s office into a beach, but we put down a tarp first so that it would be easier to clean up the sand later. Glad to hear from another office-filling expert though. :)

Unless.. wait a minute.. did you fake-break your finger days ago in order to prepare for the ultimate April Fool’s Day prank?

Next time you want to turn somebody’s office into a beach here is a trick used in retail display and trade shows:

1. lay down garbage bags (flat & overlapping)
2. shape the edges with decorative rocks
3. lay down the beach
4. trim any garbage bags sticking out with a scissors

No sand in the carpet.

Los Angeles, California, March 31, 2008 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

As many of you may know, the SCALE chairs have been organizing SCALE for
6 years now. We are delighted with how the show has grown and have enjoyed the countless hours that have gone into the planning and execution of the event. That effort has resulted in SCALE becoming the premier grassroots Open Source software show.

However some things are more important than doing something because it’s what you believe in. We have always wanted the very best for the open source community through SCALE, but more importantly we’ve wanted more for the SCALE Chairs.

So we commenced negotiations with IDG several months ago. We feel as though IDG will bring something to SCALE that has been lacking. Namely, money to us, the organizers.

We’ve now completed negotiations with IDG, and are proud to announce that we’ve agreed to have IDG purchase the Linux Expo of Southern California, and its showpiece event, the Southern California Linux Expo.

The contract has been signed; IDG now owns SCALE. While we hope to be able to influence the direction of SCALE, discussions with IDG indicate that it will probably be rolled quickly into Linuxworld.

After extensive discussions with the Linux Expo attorneys, we’ve also included a clause in the contract to ensure that it expires at 23:59 p.m, on April 1st, 2008.

Gareth Greenaway, SCALE Community Relations Chair Orv Beach, SCALE Publicity Chair _______________________________________________

I’m still awaiting for a new blog post to see if this is actually the truth as many other commenter’s have their doubts. I would of loved to see the beach in person haha.
