[Scale-planning] Science data track (Was Re: Track ideas at future SCaLEs and Q about track leads

Tue Jun 14 14:56:06 PDT 2016

Is there a blurb for either Open Data or for Science Open Data?  I'm starting to reach out, but I would like to know what the focus is.  Most of the people I talk to are used to speaking at science conferences to other scientists.  Is this about citizen science?  Is it about promoting the data and tools that are already open to the public?

Hi Lan,
Please let your connections know we would really like to see something along this line at SCaLE and are very interested in working with anyone who is also interested to help make it happen, hopefully we can find like minded people who will have time to help out.
I think it is completely possible - it's only 5 talks or so for a day for a track, just need to reachout to the community members who would like to help make this happen ;-)
Thank YouMatti

I am highly interested in the Science Open Data track. I don't think I have time to lead the track, but I have a lot of connections to that world.  Please let me know if you need anything.

Wanted to respawn this thread as we prepare to open up our CFP. 
Having an Open Data track sounds like a great idea, we will have this as one of our tracks. 
Generally we have enough coverage in Storage but having a dedicated track would be something to try out. 
Again, it would be great to have volunteers lead the tracks, that would include recruiting potential speakers and also leading it on the day-off, potentially setting up a theme for that track...
We will have a blurb for this in the CFP as well...

Regarding Space in LA area, don't forget X-Prize & Virgin Galactic are also here. 
In fact, the timing of this message is good.  I'm president of www.uncoded.org -- a non-profit in Long Beach that works at local connecting tech community -- and we hold a monthly tech mixer. Next week, Will Pomerantz,  Vice President of Special Projects at Virgin Galactic (and previously with X-prize) will be our special guest.  
It might make sense for one or two folks from the core SCaLE team to drop in, details: http://www.meetup.com/Uncoded/events/230279066/

Also, it's been a couple years but my web shop www.MediaDoneRight.com was also helpful in building www.SpaceX.com -- I might even have a few contacts.

HI,
Reaching out the key members of the pro-open source user community there's a few track ideas I would like to share with everyone here.
A) I believe we can find volunteers to help get these tracks organized, so that they take minimal time from the core SCaLE team.
B) Question on how to help make procedures / infrastructure to assist in building these tracks.
Track ideas:1) Open Data track / Civic Open Data - I believe this would make a great track, and that we can get the City of Pasadena, City of LA and OTHER cities to participate. They can use this track to help supplement their city run hack-a-thons. ( we can probably get the various Open Data SaaS providers to sponsor the tracks )
2) CTO mixer - we need imho to bring in CxOs into SCaLE to help bring great industry support and encourage their staffs to join us. Joe Devon who organizers and runs a lot of the pro-open source LA meetups is currently running a CTO mixer meetup - and discussing this with him seems like this would be a great fit for SCaLE. - I was thinking Thur would be a great day for this... and I would expect that we can get some good sponsorship for this.
3) Space / Space Open Data - NASA just had their Space App Challenge and it was well attended in Pasadena, as well as OC and they had events throughout the world. The also had Open Data available for attendees, and JPL has an Open Data proponent. With Space X also in LA we should be able to find some great opportunities to make a "Space / Space Open Data" track. We could have this be a Science Open Data track for 1 day followed by a Civic Open Data track 
4) Storage track - Jordan Swartz talked to me about creating an Storage track Thur before DevOps day. Sounded like a great idea, and he seemed very interested in being the lead. 
Qs:How do we coordinate and empower those interested in creating good tracks into SCaLE?Do I ask potential leads to join the planning list? Do we have any SaaS tools which are useful?
Thank YouMatti
