Presentation on Bluetooth beacons... possibly for the next SCaLE ?
by Don Thomas 25 Apr '17

25 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.

SCALE 101 / helping new attendees
by Lei Zhang 13 Mar '17

13 Mar '17

In another thread, Chris Smith said "A recurring theme I observed this year with people new to SCALE was that they weren't as aware of SCALE's offerings as one might hope." Should we make a "new to SCALE" guide on the website and link to it in the registration emails? Should we take 1-2 pages near the front of the printed program and put the "new to SCALE" guide there? Did anyone go to the SCALE 101 talk? [1] Was it useful? Should we have held it on Friday, instead or ran a second session on Friday?

Caryl, that is a cute infographic. If we can come up with the content you want to express, I can see if I can sweet-talk one of my LUG members into doing the art; she is good with that style and we have enough lead time that I might be able to fit it in her queue. Though the high school students I mentor are also great at drawing cute cartoons, so that's another avenue.

I just came across this cute graphic on the CUE Los Angeles FB page. It is to help first-timers get the most out of next week's National CUE Conference in Palm Springs. Something similar could be made up and put in the program.

I was just going for hitting more modalities with minimalist effort. In reality, before you arrive at a conference, you've at least somewhat locked in your plans and your schedule. I figure a talk at the conference might be too late for many newbies. So, a video of said talk that you check out well before you attend would fit the bill. If someone wants to put together some short length videos on the subject, I would definitely support that idea. --Chris On Sat, Mar 11, 2017 at 1:43 AM, ldangmlist(a)gmail.com <ldangmlist(a)gmail.com> wrote: I don't have the time or attention span to watch videos that are more than a couple of minutes long.

The SCALE 101 talk, like last year, was not well attended (about 15 people, including those that filtered in late), but the panel / Q&A portion was incredibly interactive, nearly everyone asked questions or commented, and nearly all of them either stayed late to thank me or found me later to do so. Ilan had a suggestion that we do this between the keynote and the first session, in the keynote room. It's a good suggestion, but we'd probably have to move the keynote slightly earlier to account for the panel, which I think is the magic of it all (since I think the breaks are only half hour). This would I think be more useful than stuff in the program which people don't read as it is. -- Phil Dibowitz phil(a)ipom.com Open Source software and tech docs Insanity Palace of Metallica http://www.phildev.net/ http://www.ipom.com/ "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss -- Chris _______________________________________________ Scale-planning mailing list Scale-planning(a)lists.linuxfests.org https://lists.linuxfests.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scale-planning

SCaLE stats
by der.hans 10 Mar '17

10 Mar '17

moin moin, do we have a repo of SCaLE stats? Things like total number of attendees along with breakdown of checkins per day, number of expo booths ( and vendor/group listings ), number of tracks per day, etc. I've seen a tech roundup most years. Thanks again to the tech team for all the work they put in and for the follow up reports. ciao, der.hans -- # http://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.PhxLinux.org/ # "Communications without intelligence is noise; # Intelligence without communications is irrelevant." # Gen.

SCaLE App
by Derek 10 Mar '17

10 Mar '17

Hey everyone! I understand there is a conversation starting about replacing Guidebook in favor of a SCaLE mobile app. I'm just getting started doing mobile apps and I'd like to volunteer to work on that project as it would make a great portfolio piece for me. I did some development work on the A/V camera control system for this past SCaLE and I have some ideas on how to we can do something great for this project as well. Let me know what you think! -- /Derek Nowicki Knowiki Apps 818-262-9565/
