SCALE 12x Feedback
by Gareth J. Greenaway 09 Mar '14

09 Mar '14

Since it's fresh in everyone's minds now is the perfect time to send feedback on how SCALE 12x went. What worked? What didn't work? What you liked? What you didn't like? What would you like to see at SCALE 13x that wasn't at SCALE 12x? Thoughts on the Friday Night Keynote Should it be a permanent thing? Any topics not covered in speaker tracks that you would like to see covered? Thanks! -- SCALE 13x - 2015 https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/

Tech: The good, the bad, and the ugly...
by Stuart Sheldon 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 A quick report from the Tech side of things... What we managed to do right: This year, the network came up, and with a little work with the hotel and Level3 we were able to deliver an awesome internet experience for attendees and exhibitors both. Wireless seemed rock solid for the entire show, and the new IP names of scale and scale-slow did exactly what they intended. This is the first time I have ever seen any statistics that showed 5g being the primary network of choice. The registration network and self registration system delivered on reliability and security this year. The use of Raspberry Pis for this was once again a well executed implementation of inexpensive hardware. The new Tech Stats sign outside of the NOC was a big hit as well this year. I don't think I saw a time when at least one person wasn't looking at it. The new radios that Tom in A/V selected for this year for the most part did exactly what we needed. And there were the orange shirts... This year if you had a question about anything related to SCaLE and couldn't find anyone to ask, you must have been color blind. No one could miss us with the new Tech shirts! Of all the feed back I got, I heard more positive comments from attendees about the shirts than almost any other new thing we did this year! What needs improvement: I almost put this up in the successful list, but although it worked flawlessly when someone called in, not many people did call in. This was most likely due to two things, lack of advertising around the hotel and the orange shirts eliminating many potential calls. I'm not sure what this will eventually turn into, but I believe we will be re-inventing this a bit for SCaLE 13x. Configuration Management was a goal for this year that we just couldn't fit into the short time we had left over for new things this year. I'm hoping we can move toward completing this earlier in our work cycles. Network Device Dependency is another thing that we need to do better. Although I am used to tracking things down via standard documentation, I am sure a visual representation of the network tree would be extremely useful to others in the NOC. I'll personally take this on, but would love input as well. This year was awesome! We all worked as a team, and we all shared our knowledge as a group. I hope everyone learned something this year, I know I did! Stu - -- "Just remember, when you?re over the hill, you begin to pick up speed." -- Charles M.

Game Night
by Lori Barfield 25 Feb '14

how about giving us some Game Night feedback? we had food, drinks, t-shirts, Neon Golf, table games, board games, movies, giveaways, and crafts for kids. let us know which things you think didn't work, and which you would like to see again. did you bring a +1 or kidling to the party? also, the pinball/arcade game vendor sent us an email asking which were your favorite games, and if we use him again, which ones you'd want in the future. ...lori
