HAM Testing
by Hriday Balachandran 07 Mar '17

07 Mar '17

Appears that we had lesser success with the HAM testing than we did last year. I think that this needs more promotion, and a whole HAM track and training the previous day to drive traffic to the testing. Still, 8 more people we will see on the air! 73, VA6OOI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stoker, Jim Date: Tue, Mar 7, 2017 at 10:47 AM Subject: RE: Ham testing summary To: Hriday Balachandran We had only 12 candidates, who took a total of 17 exams. Nobody who came in to upgrade their license passed their exam. We had 8 new Tech licenses out of the session and one new General class licensee out of the exam.

Website Lighthouse scoring
by Christopher Smith 07 Mar '17

07 Mar '17

Posting this now so I don't forget: ran a test with Lighthouse ( https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/) on the SCALE homepage. There were definitely some areas we could improve. When it comes time to look at the redesign, I want to make sure we re-evaluate. -- Chris

Thanks for enabling an Open Data track
by Mx Siltanen 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

Hi, I just wanted to share with the team a success story what SCaLE 15x enabled. While it is a small start, it is a significant strategic win for SCaLE and the pro-Open Source and pro-Open Data community. 1) Code for America Brigades had a booth on the expo floor, mostly populated by volunteers from the local LA Chapter ( Hack for LA, thus if you visited the booth you would have seen their banner ) Note, some of the volunteers also work in the local government agencies. We plan to invite and encourage the participation of additional brigades for the next SCaLE. 2) On Sunday we had the Open Data: Cities Panel. http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/15x/presentations/open-data-cities-panel During that event we had 4 presenting panelists: Phillip LeClair, CIO City of Pasadena; Jeanne Holm, Assistant General Manager/ Deputy CIO of City of Los Angeles; Behrang Abadi, Sr IT Manager City of Santa Monica. Jasmine Frost, Business Information Systems Bureau Manager City of Long Beach Jasmine also brought with her Bryan M. Sastokas, CIO of the City of Long Beach. This was the first time that some of these civic leaders had meet each other, a significant event according to many of those participating. 3) As a result of this we just had an inquiry with regards to sponsorship options from one of the local cities. Considering the ability for SCaLE to be a venue and community which assists in furthering the results of connecting those interested in Open Data and Open Source in civics I would like to encourage you to reach out to their local Code for America Brigades and invite them to join us at SCaLE in 2018. List of Brigades are here ( note there are a number of international ones - so maybe it should be Code for the World Brigades ) http://brigade.codeforamerica.org/brigade/list Thank You Matti

QR code in badge center, not upper right corner
by Peter Benjamin 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

After being told by just about every booth I had my badge scanned at, that my finger was covering the QR code ... I started telling them I will post to this list the suggestion for next year to place the QR code in the very center, so there is never really is any way, that either the left or right hand can cover the centered QR code. I hope this helps next year. Peter

Volunteer needed?
by Danny Derakhshan 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

Hi, I'm Danny and I'm taking a Linux sysadmin class at Glendale Community College. I'd like to volunteer for Scale because I don't really know anyone in the community. About me: Open Source software is important to me. I don't know much yet but the principles resonate with me. I'm interested in automation, VR and the tools to create those environments. I like movies like Tron, The Matrix, ExistenZ, Lawnmower Man, The Thirteenth Floor, Ghost in the Shell, Total Recall -- Best Regards, Danny Derakhshan 323-207-5869

bad mic in 104
by der.hans 05 Mar '17

05 Mar '17

moin moin, 3rd from the left mic on the panel in room 104 ( Open Data ) is having some problems. It fades in and out and noise spikes a little. This is probably the only time it'll be used, but if it's ours it would be good to do some testing before packing it up. ciao, der.hans -- # http://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.PhxLinux.org/ # Strangers are friends just waiting to happen!

rooms 103 and 104 sound bleedover
by der.hans 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

moin moin, sound from room 104 can overwhelm the speakers in room 103. Some of that is due to going from quiet speakers to loud speakers. Not much to do about that. The wall between the rooms wasn't closed properly. I fixed it some, but there's still a gap, so it would be nice if we can try to reset the wall tonight after the talks. Tom says the speakers in 104 are quieter in the front than they are in the back, which is right next to 103. Can we balance the speakers differently or at least reduce the difference? ciao, der.hans -- # http://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.PhxLinux.org/ # Freedom isn't everything, but without freedom you have nothing. - der.hans
