StackOverflow Open Source Ads
by Ilan Rabinovitch 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

Hello, StackOverflow has a program for running ad's for FLOSS projects. Not entirely sure if we quality, but seems worth a shot. Should be easy for us to get the votes needed. http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/327559/open-source-advertising-2h-2… Josh, Would you or someone else on the team want to take a stab at a design? Thanks, Ilan

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

Hotel Rooms @ SCALE 15x
by Ilan Rabinovitch 25 Aug '16

25 Aug '16

Hello, The room blocks for SCALE 15x are now open at the Pasadena Sheraton and Pasadena Hilton. We expect these to be listed on the website in the next week or so, but wanted to reach out to the scale-planning list and give you all a head start on booking your rooms as they tend to go fast. The rate at both hotels is the same. However the Sheraton is onsite at the convention center, while the Hilton is a short 5-10 minute walk away. Sheraton https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/Book/SCALE15x Hilton http://www.hilton.com/en/hi/groups/personalized/P/PASPHHF- SCLE-20170227/index.jhtml?WT.mc_id=POG We do not at this point have a room block with the Westin, as it is the furthest Pasadena hotel and had significantly higher nightly rates than the Sheraton and Hilton. Regards, Ilan

We track work at https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/scale-planning/issues right now.

I found a developer who would be interested in trying to build this app on a volunteer basis as a way of broadening his portfolio for his new consulting business. He is new to the world of open source and keen to learn more. He is also into UX. Could you remind me where you track these issues, or should we start a new repo for it? I am highly interested in pushing this along but reluctant to take more than temporary custody for fear of overloading my plate.

Re: [Scale-planning] Collaboration tools

Most of our teams are using github wikis or google docs at this point for sharing notes, and github issues for tickets/work tracking. Would ideally like to keep to these so that we're not spread across too many different tools. In terms of chat we've got slack setup. Happy to invite anyone that need access. -Ilan On Wed, Aug 10, 2016 at 4:46 PM, Lan Dang via Scale-planning < scale-planning(a)lists.linuxfests.org> wrote: > _______________________________________________ > Scale-planning mailing list > Scale-planning(a)lists.linuxfests.org > https://lists.linuxfests.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scale-planning > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Lan Dang <l.dang(a)ymail.com> > To: SCALE Planning List <scale-planning(a)lists.linuxfests.org> > Cc: > Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2016 23:46:11 +0000 (UTC) > Subject: Collaboration tools > > > A comment came up earlier in the OSSIE thread about getting access to a > wiki or some kind of folder. > > > I know there is a SCALE wiki, but I tended to use that more as a reference > than something I wanted to contribute to.
