Scale Tech (networking) work session this weekend
by Steve M Bibayoff 09 Feb '18

09 Feb '18

Hello, As we are getting closer to Scale, the various groups are putting together the last touches before the Expo. And tech is among those groups. We are planning a work session this weekend at Null Space Labs ( http://032.la/ ) in North Hollywood this weekend, Sat & Sun, from 10am-6pm. There is a class been taught on Sat, from 2-5pm, so we may be out at that time(long lunch, or may just finish early, tbd). What we are trying to accomplish: -Sat 1) Label the network switches and AP's with their MAC address 2) reflash the switches, AP's, & Pi's with the same version of OS's. Get them config-ed so we could easily update them if needed. -Sun 1) Set up the network we are planning on using at Scale, with everything, including monitoring, sign, and admin servers. Location: Null Space Labs 10717 West Chandler Boulevard, <https://www.google.com/maps/place/10717+W+Chandler+Blvd,+North+Hollywood,+C…> North Hollywood, CA 91601 <https://www.google.com/maps/place/10717+W+Chandler+Blvd,+North+Hollywood,+C…> My cell if you need to get a hold of me, (562) 556-7622 If you could make it, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve

Return of TNG Playground
by Lan Dang 08 Feb '18

08 Feb '18

Hi all, tl;dr If you are interested in helping out with TNG Playground, please let me know and subscribe to the scale-kids mailing list. We are going to have TNG Playground again this year, on Saturday, March 10th. It will be similar in format to last year's event. The goal is to provide a hands-on activities room for the kids at SCALE. Last year, most of the kids were 7-14, but there were some younger kids and adults who also participated. Avni did a fantastic job of organizing it last year with Kids on Computers; however she is unable to make it to SCALE this year. This year, I am organizing it with the help of Vivienne Byrd from the Los Angeles Public Library. Avni gave me a lot of info from last year and we might still be able to borrow some computers from Kids on Computers. We'll do our planning on scale-kids and I will set up a Google Drive with notes. I'm a bit swamped this week with work, but I'll post a link to the Google Drive later. If you're interested in helping out, let me know, and please subscribe to the scale-kids mailing list. https://lists.linuxfests.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scale-kids About TNG Playground ------------------------------- SCALE 15x TNG Playground: http://tinyurl.com/tngplayground TNG Playground provides a place where the kids at SCALE can do hands-on, self-guided activities at different stations or pods. Each pod or station will have a station lead, who comes up with the content for the pod and will set up the station. The pods can be handed off to day-of volunteers who sign up for hourly shifts. We will have 4-5 pods, and there will be 4 stations per pod, which allows participation by 4-8 students per pod. To support both newbies and older kids, we can have easy and hard activities. To make it fun for them, we will stamp a passport for them when they complete a designated activity at a pod. If they get stamps from all pods, they can select a prize from the swag table. Lan

Feb 8: SGVLUG "The 5W1H of Getting Involved in Open Source"
by Lan Dang 03 Feb '18

03 Feb '18

Hi all, We have an SGVLUG meeting next Thursday, Feb 8th (7-9pm) at OpenX Technologies in Pasadena. The topic is "The 5W1H of Getting Involved in Open Source" and our speaker is Paul Ramirez, a technical group supervisor at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Apache Software Foundation committer. I want to invite those of you who are local to Pasadena to attend and add to our discussion. Also, it's a good opportunity to promote your favorite aspects of SCALE, and maybe give us a sneak peek at what to expect in March. It might be nice to have the SCALE banner or flyers there. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP on Meetup or with me. OpenX is in a secured building, so I need to provide them with a list of names. https://www.meetup.com/SGVTech/events/zvpphlyxdblb/ TIME: Thursday, February 8th, from 7pm to 9pm LOCATION: OpenX Technologies, 888 E Walnut St, Pasadena, CA 91101 <https://maps.google.com/?q=888+E+Walnut+St,+Pasadena,+CA+91101&entry=gmail&…> TOPIC: The 5W1H of Getting Involved in Open Source SPEAKER: Paul Ramirez, Jet Propulsion Laboratory Lan

by Ilan Rabinovitch 03 Feb '18

03 Feb '18

Hello, With SCALE coming up in February now is a great time to make sure we're listed on all the local event calendars. Since theres quite a few of them, help would be appreciated. We've compiled a list of places we normally post here: https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/SCALE-Planning/issues/248 Your help would be appreciated. Many hands make light work so if you comment or check off the ones you did we'll know not to repeat your efforts. I've gone ahead and taken care of about 12 of them. Thanks! Ilan

Hi, Just recently noticed this event announced in my inbox, and wanted to pass it along as it looks like an interesting event. Liz Krane on Wed sent a notice out that they were still looking for mentors to help out. Thus I wanted to pass this along in case anyone in our team would be interested in participating. If you would like to participate and to help promote SCaLE please do let me know as I have printed out a nice poster for SCaLE 16x which can use a few more views as well as have the SCaLE banner and am able to coordinate with you to pick it up if you want it for this event or another event. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/want-to-speak-at-a-tech-conference-global-dive… Thank You Matti
