Linux and Amateur Radio

Bala and I are considering putting together a track for SCALE 15x called "Linux in the Ham Shack" (or something like that). If you're a ham, and use Linux in your ham shack, drop us a note and let us know how you use it - we're looking for presentations to fill out the track. 73 (ham speak for "best regards") Orv W6BI - orv.beach(a)gmail.com Bala VA6OOI - hriday(a)gmal.com

Sunday Attendance
by Ilan Rabinovitch 06 Jun '17

06 Jun '17

Hello, During the SCALE postmortem for 2017 and kick off for 2018 one topic that has come up is Sunday attendance. For many years, we've been seeing a bit of a decline in overall Sunday attendance, especially on the exhibit hall and as such many exhibitors (both commercial and volunteer run) have asked us to either cut the Sunday expo floor or further SCALE back Sunday Expo floor hours. To be clear cutting Sunday sessions is not being considered at this time. With this in mind we'd like your thoughts and help here with making Sunday better: - How would a change in exhibit hall hours impact your personal plans to attend Sunday? - Are there schedule adjustments that would make it more likely for you and your colleagues/friends/etc to stay through Sunday? - If the expo hall were to close EOD Saturday, are there alternative activities you would want to host in its place on Sunday in that space? - If we held a closing keynote Sunday afternoon/evening, would you stay for it? - Do we have any volunteers willing to write up a survey we can send to past attendees on this topic? We look forward to your thoughts and ideas. Thanks, Ilan Ilan Rabinovitch 877-831-2569 x110 Voice 818-442-1865 Mobile ilan(a)linuxfests.org Email

Presentation on Bluetooth beacons... possibly for the next SCaLE ?
by Don Thomas 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

I attended AppSec California earlier this year and was impressed at a presentation that one of the Google engineers did around Bluetooth beacons... which I think would work great for a lot of things at SCaLE. I was thinking that this presentation that Scott Jensen did was worthwhile to pass along... and spark some thought for SCaLE 16x. Anyway, take a look when you have some time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgrY-gaky1o&index=32&list=PLpr-xdpM8wG8pt2j… Cheers!, -- Don Thomas

Per cryptoparty discussion - SGVLUG "Intro to Internet Security" on 4/13
by Lan Dang 10 Apr '17

10 Apr '17

Hi all, Given the cryptoparty discussion back in March, I thought this month's SGVLUG presentation on "Intro to Internet Security with Pi-Hole and OpenVPN" might be of interest to some of you, particularly to get ideas and help in organizing a cryptoparty for SCALE 16x. If you're interested, we will be meeting in Pasadena on Thursday, April 13th, from 7pm to 9pm. Details in the link below. https://www.meetup.com/SGVTech/events/238419778/ "Protecting your digital identity, passwords, and browsing activity is difficult in the world of open Wifi networks, freeware, and advanced advertising techniques based on tracking users across the web. While complete privacy is not possible while connected to the internet, there are many things you can do to make access to your personal data more difficult. This presentation will focus on the basics of internet security, how to begin protecting your network and your data, and why it’s so important. We will focus on the two most prominent (and easiest to fix) security vulnerabilities: encrypting your browsing on external networks using OpenVPN, and blocking advertising and tracking as early as possible using Pi-Hole."

wifi SSID WAS Re: Signage
by Zach Underwood 16 Mar '17

16 Mar '17

This year we had 4 SSID, public 5ghz, public 2.4ghz, staff 5ghz, staff 2.4ghz. I think that we could drop the staff 2.4ghz and only use the the staff 5ghz one since staff(noc and AV only) for the most part have newer devices that support 5ghz. As for as hiding staff SSID that is a waste of time, I dont think many, if any of the public was thinking they needed to join to the staff network. At some point you cant fix stupid. I think the biggest problem with SSID was the amount of non SCALE ssid showing up, where this was the biggest problem was on the expo floor where at any given time there was 20+ SSIDs.
