Join us February 23, 2009, San Francisco, CA, for the 1st Workshop on the Theory and Practice of Provenance (TaPP '09).

The TaPP workshop continues an informal series of workshops on Principles of Provenance organized in 2007–2008, which helped raise the profile of this area within diverse research communities, such as databases, security, and programming languages.

The expo will take place February 20-22, 2009, at the Westin Los Angeles Airport.

SCALE is an annual open-source technical, business, and users conference. SCALE 7X will feature tutorial sessions designed to show users of all skill levels what open source can do and how to do it, as well as over 60 expo booths; BoFs; and special Friday sessions on health care, education, and women in open source.
