LugRadio Live USA 2008 is coming to San Francisco Registration for LugRadio Live USA 2008 is now open at http://lugradio.org/live/USA2008/register, and tickets for the two-day spectacular cost only $10 for the full weekend, including full access to all talks, the exhibition, evening events, and a free bag o'swag for visitors. Pre-registrations also enjoy additional benefits at the show and the first 50 registrations will receive a free copy of Postal 2: Share The Pain (subject to age verification), thanks to Running With Scissors. All pre-registrations will also be entered into a raffle to win prizes by a variety of vendors. LugRadio Live USA 2008, the 'rock-conference' from the team behind the popular LugRadio podcast (http://www.lugradio.org), brings the successful and unique formula of the UK LugRadio Live events to The Metreon in San Francisco on the 12th and 13th April 2008. The event is supported extensively by Google and also supported by Dice. LugRadio Live USA 2008 brings together over 30 speakers across three stages, 30+ exhibitors, a range of BOF sessions, debate panels, lightbulb talk sessions, demos and much more, all wrapped up in the unique event that the UK incarnation has become known for, combining an incredibly loose, social, inclusive, and amusing atmosphere - if you are new to LugRadio Live, it is nothing you will have seen before. Confirmed speakers for the event include: * Miguel de Icaza (Mono / Novell / Co-Founder Of GNOME) * Ian Murdoch (OpenSolaris / Founder Of Debian) * Robert Love (GNOME / Google) * Aza Raskin (Mozilla / Humanized) * Benjamin Mako Hill (Ubuntu / Debian / FSF) * John Buckman (Magnatune) * Val Henson (Kernel / VAH consulting) * Christopher Blizzard (Mozilla / GNOME) * Mike Linksvayer (Creative Commons) * David Schleef (GStreamer) * Matthew Garrett (Power Management / Kernel) * Danese Cooper (Intel / OSI) * Aaron Bockover (Banshee / Novell) * Liana Holmberg (Second Life / Linden Lab) * Emma Jane Hogbin (Hick Tech) * Joe Zonker Brockmeier (OpenSuSE / Novell) * Kristen Accardi (Kernel) * David Lefty Schlesinger * Joe Born (Neuros) * Selena Deckelmann (PostgreSQL) * Stewart Smith (MySQL) * Dan Kegal (Wine) * Ben Collins (Ubuntu / Kernel) * Jason Kridner (Texas Instruments) * Jeremy Allison (Samba / Google) * Christian Hammond (VMWare) * Ian McKeller (Songbird) * Alison Randal (Parrot / Perl / OSCON) * David Huffman (LVM) * Brian Will (Pigeon) * Belinda Lopez (Ubuntu) * Ilan Rabanovich (SoCal Linux Expo) * Eddy Mulyono (Packaging) * Matthew Walster (Demo Scene) The show will also see a large number of exhibitors, which will be announced in the coming weeks, with plenty to see and do. In addition to this, the LugRadio team will be recording a live performance of their cult-hit podcast, which has over 20,000 listeners, in front of the LugRadio Live USA 2008 audience - like the UK event, this is always quite a spectacle, and excellent fun for all involved.

SCALE 2008 postmortem?
by Matt Jones 14 Feb '08

14 Feb '08

I was looking around at the scale site for a place to add comments about the event. I found none, so I decided to post on the scale list. Anyway, I think it would be great, if there was a way for people to add their constructive criticism about the 2008 event. Since I may be kicking off the start of a potentially interesting post, I might as well add my recommendations. 1. The only major problem I had was with name-tag lanyards. Please, please, please make the font bigger and print the names on both sides. I had a real hard time reading people's names, even on the rare instances where the name-tag was facing the correct direction. Yes I wear glasses, but had broken them before the event. I'm sure many people were wondering why I was using my face as an OCR scanner on their name-tag. If you need more ink and paper to do this, I will donate $200. 2. The printed schedule was missing the raffle event/party for Saturday(I think). Other than that, and any venue related problems, it was excellent. I'm looking forward to next year. And I'm sorry if this is the wrong list to post to.
