They would be helping with Game Night set-up and then directing the Rube Goldberg project. Who do I have them email? (I am new at this). :-) Sorry, I missed this mail. Procmail put it to one side for me. I hope you got them in touch with Ilan and the other SCALE guys.

http://SoCalLinuxExpo.Org/scale{1..999}x/schedule/{friday, saturday, sunday} table needs to expand full-window and scroll more easily: FIXED
by DestinyArchitect 18 Feb '13

MIDLMR: http://SoCalLinuxExpo.Org/scale{1..999}x/schedule/{friday,saturday,sunday}t… needs to expand full-window and scroll more easily 1. MIEOXN: A HEADS-UP:* just today this all was fixed & fixed well*(thanks, cool!), my bet in response to my email to chair Ilan on this which cite here; for full details, see the end of this for "MIEOFD: ..UPDATE". 2. MIDN63: *This is fairly important to fix *as the present situation would seemingly make it difficult & sometimes impossible for every attendee and reviewer to read the schedule. 3. MIDLU5: This is what Sat 11:37pm I first wrote to SCALE11x chair Ilan trying to figure out where to send this suggestion, quote: 1. MICQ6H: I want to suggest that http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale11x/schedule/friday (plus other day displays) expand to the full window width rather then being a constrained max width (about 1070px) as it's already hard enough to see with the underlying table's understandable wide width. 1. MICQB8: I've been exploring in-browser CSS style edits a user might do to fix this until your webmaster does so but so far I've not found a single 1-line edit. 4. MIDLVL: At Sun 1:51am he replied suggesting I post to this list scale-planning (why I post here) and saying "We agree the scrolling on that page could be improved and would be happy to have some feedback.". 5. MIDMD3: Also left-right scrolling is not obvious 1. MIDMFU: especially because the vertical content is fully expanded (so that vertical scroller displayed but inactive) so the horizontal scroller is lost down at the bottom of the table. 2. MIDMKO: An easy fix is to put highlighted just above the table say "To scroll table, click-and-hold within a displayed table cell then drag the desired direction (left,right,up,or down) so scrolling as part of making an extended selection. In Chrome, *down* doesn't work so for that use the window vertical scroll bar.". Similar to having a "hand" icon to scroll, this kind of scrolling is pretty handy once one has gotten used to it,. 3. MIDMXS: Also, when & as possible, put the horizontal scroll bar at the top instead of the bottom. 4. MIDN3I: Also, when & as possible, insure all scrollers (veritical & especially horizontal) always visible, as they are with a spreadsheet. 6. MIDNDY: Very cool & proper that this table appears to be a pivot table automatically generated from underlining event entries. 1. MIDNF1: just make it display well (fully plus good scrolling) 1. MIDNGI: http://google.com/search?q=Drupal+pivot+table might find implementations which solve this 7. MIDM1Y: I hope the web coders will fix these (for the fixed width, that might require a different theme (I loath fixed-with themes) else a theme-override on this page). 1. MIDM9J: If that isn't fast, then perhaps someone can come up with a portable Greasemonkey <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greasemonkey> script so users can . 8. MIEOFD: =pst2013.02.17Sun2350: UPDATE,* all the above appears fixed -yeah!* 1. MIEOH7: specifically, looking at say http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale11x/schedule/saturday 1. MIEOK3: the theme/page is no longer max-widthed but expands to my full window 2. MIEOKY: Indeed the page itself properly expands larger than my window, so the scrollers for just the table have disappeared, leaving just the browser's scrollers, which is much better! 3. MIEONV: The padding around the table looks like it has been properly reduced. 2. MIEOPH: In short, more work but then *even better than what I proposed above! * 3. MIEOQI: So since this happened since Ilan responded to this at 1:51am,* I take it he followed up on my suggestion? :-) Else if not me, what triggered this change? How did it come about? And who did it? * 4. MIEOWK: *Thanks for the great & super fast fix!* MIEP8N: Sincerely,* -*Destiny <http://1.jothere.com/M6Dest> (Google profile)<http://1.jothere.com/M6Dest>. Asides: - MIEP77: Like prior years, I'm promoting & managing a big SCALE{11..}x visit & booth for a few OC Meetup groups<http://1.jothere.com/3999#MICGMC> . - MFB0S5: What are these codes as “MFB0S5” on this paragraph? They're short IDs to date-stamp, uniquely-reference, and portably-track most any point or item <http://1.jothere.com/6mp>. - MFB0YE: Email addresses ending in @etag.JotHere.com<http://etag.jothere.com/> don't go to anyone but are just handy tags for filing as that link details.

Ubuntu phone flashing
by der.hans 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

moin moin, http://www.zdnet.com/ubuntu-smartphone-developer-preview-arrives-next-week-… the release is the night before SCaLE starts. Will Canonical be flashing phones at the Ubuntu booth at SCaLE? If so, is this the type of thing where we should do a press release with Canonical/Ubuntu? ciao, der.hans -- # http://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.LuftHans.com/Classes/ # "The purpose of IT is to seamlessly and transparently provide the other # 9/10's of the iceberg for people who need to work with chunks # of floating ice." -- Strata Rose Chalup

Game Night Model Trains
by Marina King 05 Feb '13

05 Feb '13

Hi SCALE planners: My name is Marina and I am on the SCALE Game Night planning committee. Is anyone out there a participant in, or in contact with, a Los Angeles-area train club? We have been talking about having a model train setup and possible switching/shunting game. Please see the following link for more info: http://www.wymann.info/ShuntingPuzzles/ It may be too late for this year but thought I'd put out the idea. Would attendees welcome this fun train obstacle course game? Thank you for your input, Marina -- *Marina King (805) 696-3424*

some people would like to have a massage station in the quiet area of the Ballroom on saturday. we'd do it either before the party just for the +1s setting things up, or during the event, or both. does anyone in scale-planningland have contact information for the folks who do this? can anyone tell me anything about what they charge attendees or how this kind of thing works? thanks. ...lori
