10 Nov '25

Sorry if I couldn't find this on the site, but when is the deadline for organizations to apply for a booth? (There is a lot of interesting privacy tech and services stuff happening so I'm trying to get Oakland Privacy to apply to come in as a new exhibitor)

Hi folks, One of the things that has always made SCALE special has been our efforts to include community open source projects and non-profit groups in our expo hall. Bala has been leading this effort for a number of years and is looking for a second pair of hands to help expand the program. If you would be interested in helping with any of the following: - identifying projects to recruit - doing outreach to them. - dotorg logistics while onsite at SCALE Drop Bala and I a line off list by emailing: ilan@linuxfests,org and bala(a)socallinuxexpo.org Thanks for helping to make SCALE awesome.

Volunteer needed!
by Orv Beach 09 Sep '25

09 Sep '25

The response to this year's Linux Training class has been so robust that the trainer, Tom King has requested another assistant for the class. If you're comfortable with installing Linux and the command line, consider helping Tom out. The Installfest is Saturday morning, so you'll have the afternoon off to browse the Expo. Sunday is Linux admin training. Tasks will involve patrolling the room, assisting students with installation on their system, or maybe answering questions during the training. If you volunteer, I'll give you free registration to SCALe next year :-) Regards, Orv Linux Training Chair Respond directly to orv.beach(a)gmail.com

Hey folks, Thanks to a new partnership with the Software Freedom Conservancy we were able to replace all the old Linksys gear at SCaLE with a new stack powered by open hardware (OpenWRT One) and software (OpenWRT). Denver from SFC will also be keynoting about the project and our collaboration on Sunday. We've posted about it on the various social network sites: - https://x.com/socallinuxexpo/status/1895937329698639987 - https://www.linkedin.com/posts/southern-california-linux-expo_scale-openwrt… - https://bsky.app/profile/socallinuxexpo.bsky.social/post/3ljdsjtk5na2g - https://social.linux.pizza/@socallinuxexpo/114089134752342484 - https://www.facebook.com/socallinuxexpo/posts/pfbid024SieHNJBKaKWzXiY3m8euq… Please consider resharing to help get the word out about SCALE being this week and to give SFC and OpenWRT some visibility for their support. See you all in Pasadena, Ilan

Hi, We're looking for a volunteer to write a blog post about your favorite restaurants, bars and other happenings around the Pasadena Convention Center. We last did one in 2023 [1], and so much has changed since then. Since we dont provide lunch for attendees and so many SCALE attendees are new to Pasadena - lets help them find some good eats. -Ilan [1] https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/blog/where-eat-around-scale
