Track ideas at future SCaLEs and Q about track leads
by SCALE Planning List 26 Aug '16

26 Aug '16

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 You Matti

Organization Lists and Block Diagrams

Understand there is a GitHub repository for SCALE to which I have yet to gain access - Help Please. For Continuity of Operations, it would be valuable to have lists or org charts of functions and players so us lower experience level folks could better continue the show (yearly and event). Is there somewhere to fish for this? My main interest is Technical and AV content, so I was looking for some data elements: MAYBE the Web crew might want to build some private/tech page space for - people (per team) lists and responsibilities, - equipment lists with locations, poc, - servers (server parameters), - binaries, - code sources, - task management, - work breakdowns, - who are 1st and 2nd on each of those, - interface boundaries with other teams (AV, Web, ... ) - flow charts for show time - flow charts for year round work - lead times to our various now and later tasks .. - watchthatpage shows me daily changes to www.soclalinixexpo.org, what or who qualifies info for appearing on that update? -- R/ Everett Batey / Skype: wa6cre-10 / efbatey(a)gmail.com (805) 616-2471 / G-Talk/Twitter: efbatey / CrisisLinks http://bit.ly/cw95Um Please visit So Calif Linux Expo http://www.socallinuxexpo.org

SCALE 15x Planning and Updates
by SCALE Planning List 23 Apr '16

23 Apr '16

Hello Scale-Planning, Last weekend the SCALE Committee Chairs held our annual leadership meeting, where we discuss how previous years went, as well as kick off planning for the next year. It is important to note that more than 50% of SCALE leadership team is no longer based in Southern California so this type of in-person meeting does not always happen as often as we would like. During our discussions, one theme that came up repeatedly was a desire to increase the openness of our planning. Over the last ~10 years, as our teams have grown and specialized, many of the planning discussions have moved to private mailing lists. Although the isolation of discussions was not deliberate, this does not align with the open principles our events teach. With that in mind our teams will be moving the majority of SCALE related discussions and planning to this list, scale-planning. As part of this decision you will see some changes coming to this list in the next few weeks: Mailman Upgrade - Will be fixing the list to maintain FROM addresses on all posted emails. To accomplish this mailman will likely need to be upgraded to a newer version. See the minutes below for more details. Increased List Traffic - If you have gotten used to low traffic on this list, please expect this to change. We understand if you choose to unsubscribe, but hope you will choose to hang around and participate in the discussions. To start this process we are posting a summary of our meeting and some of the decisions that were made in the next few minutes below: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/162474/SCALEChairsMeeting41616.pdf Additionally, we will be tracking all work related items in our github issue queue at: https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/scale-planning/issues We look forward to your thoughts, feedback, and collaboration as we kick off planning for SCALE 2017. Regards, Ilan Rabinovitch Conference Chair SCALE 818-442-1865 Voice

Possible Keynote? Greenwave
by SCALE Planning List 22 Apr '16

22 Apr '16

fyi - Saw an interesting video... probably worth watching to see how it comes along.. <http://greenwave.org/> http://greenwave.org/ http://greenwave.org/about-us/press/ checkout their video on Huffington post, where they mention open sourcing the tech http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/greenwave-underwater-3d-farming_us_5715… http://greenwave.org/community/ *"GreenWave is at it’s core open source. Quicker time to market, more reliable & robust solutions are developed when everyone has a hand in it. Open source does not mean that we won’t see economic benefits. As a matter of fact, we believe that an open source approach means more opportunity for everyone involved."* Thank You Matti

I'm beginning to promote SCaLE 16x March 2-5th 2017, anyone going to NASAs Space Apps Challenge?
by SCALE Planning List 21 Apr '16

21 Apr '16

HI, 1) I'm starting to promote SCaLE 16x March 2-5th 2017. I will be encouraging greater participation of those involved in various pro-Open Source meetings / meetups / groups. I'd like to encourage anyone else interested to help. To help in this manner I was thinking about setting up a business card template with critical dates for SCaLE 16x. ( do we have artwork I can reference for that? ) 2) This weekend is the NASA Space App Challenge and I would like us to reach out to them and encourage their participation in SCaLE 16x. https://2016.spaceappschallenge.org/ I will be suggesting to those that are helping to organize the NASA event that SCaLE would make a great event for pro open data and open source space related topics to be shared. SCaLE probably is not a great for hackathons, but it is certainly a wonderful opportunity to share information and results from pro-open source hackathons and useful to support such hackathons. If anyone here knows of people helping to run the NASA SpaceApps challenge or will be participating in it, please help pass the word that SCaLE welcomes greater participation in our pro-open source community event. Thank You Matti
