OSS File System and Storage Topics
by Ilan Rabinovitch 10 Jan '17

10 Jan '17

Hi scale-planning, Is there any particular open-source file system or storage topic you'd like to see at SCALE this year? We currently have sessions on Ceph, Minio, and Software Defined Storage. We potentially have room to fit in another session there if we find a topic folks are excited about but its the storage track, so it'd need to be storage or file system focused. Thanks, Ilan

What is happening with OSSIE?
by Caryl Bigenho 06 Jan '17

06 Jan '17

Hi All... As far as I know there were at least 5 proposals from 4 people for the OSSIE track for SCaLE 15X. What is happening with these? I thought Kenneth Wyrick and I were going to read them. So... where are they? When will the track be (hopefully Saturday)? What else do we need to know and do to make this happen? Also, is there any possibility of adding one additional presentation to OSSIE? Caryl

Black Women in Tech - was Re: SCALE CFP Closing on 11/15
by Mx Siltanen 08 Dec '16

08 Dec '16

Hi Lori, I can think of a few areas: 1) If you would like to help promote SCALE with your group by posting a meetup or meeting for your group to attend SCALE and/or newsletter - we can provide you a custom discount code to reward your members for participating with your group. ( last year it was 50% off.. which is a really good deal ) Also remember, for those wanting to enter the tech industry and on a tight budget, we always needs more good volunteers to help make SCALE happen. 2) BOF rooms available in the evening - as we rent out the conference center, we will have rooms available after the presentations for people to use for "round table" type discussions. We welcome all sorts of pro-open source community discussions during this time, and they've ranged across all sorts of topics. For instance perhaps you or someone in Black Women in Technology would like to host a session to discuss a relevant topic. Perhaps making a larger session with the focus of getting more women in tech. For example, if all the various women's community groups which are participating in SCALE were to coordinate a BOF session on: "Mentor Me: Helping women in the tech industry, Q&A and support." ( or something along those lines ) Suggest getting Girls in Tech, Girl Develop It, Women who code, PyLadies, and the other women's groups together and have a panel for Q&A and help people network with each other to help build mentoring and support opportunities. Please do feel empowered to coordinate with others and utilize the rooms we have available Thu, Fri, and Sat nights for BOFs. 3) MCs - we need more volunteers to help with MCing /room coordination. One of the roles is to announce the presenters as well as the sponsor for the room. This would be a good opportunity to show involvement, and a good chance to get to know the presenters better. We also need more volunteers across the different functional areas. Over time we want to build out a stronger team which puts SCALE together and we welcome diversity. 4) Org Booths on the expo floor - we have a limited number of org booths on the expo floor. Manning them fully over the course of the expo hours can be challenging, THUS some organizations have joined together to man a combined booth. For example - in the past Various OC groups joined together to man 1 booth Various Big Data / Data Sci groups share a booth Various Info Sec groups share a booth Thus, it maybe useful to look at other groups which you can partner up with to share a booth. Note, sharing a booth does require some coordination - to ensure all groups involved help out manning the booth. Also note, some groups involved with SCALE opted to instead help run the event instead of manning a booth, as they could not get enough volunteers to man the booth as everyone was working on something else at SCALE.

My Thoughts on building a stronger SCALE
by Mx Siltanen 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

Hi, 1) Enterprise Class on a Startup budget with Open Source tech. It has always been implied to me, yet I think we should explicitly state it. Perhaps as a tag for selected talks, perhaps as a track,.. ( I've been working on building out a network on a budget and a consultant has offered very expensive enterprise class options which imho break the budget - thus I've been thinking a lot about this topic. ) 2) As all sorts of great talks are available online thus we need to increase the value of personally attending SCALE. 2A) Networking - people - in person networking We need to pay more attention to how to increase the value of in-person interactions at SCALE. BOFs and Key signing are good for this. One speaker last year recommended a SCALE lunch option, perhaps an extra charge for it. ( Thur and Fri tracks often have sponsors for lunch - perhaps we can find ways to increase the value of lunch sponsors with banners or a lunch time presentation to increase the chances of sponsored lunches. ) Selection of speakers - perhaps a little bit of a focus on speakers which people would like to meet in person for business or other purposes. ( the idea is to have a good mix of presenters from the larger pro-open source community ) 2B) Prizes - yes they shouldn't be the reason to attend SCALE, yet everyone likes a reward for doing so. We should look at various additional options to increase rewarding in person attendance. One tactic other conferences I assist with is to give out prizes at the end of the event to those in attendance, perhaps during a evening reception. I know we've been doing this with Sat night, and that is good, yet perhaps we can also do some of it during the last hour of the expo hall on would make a great opportunity for making it a formal prize give away time from the vendors ( please see 2c ) 2C) Sunday Expo Hall needs to remain strong to increase in person attendance Sunday as well as reward exhibitor sponsors. I would like to see a presentation break during the last 60-45min of the expo hall when prizes will be given away by the exhibitors. This would end the exhibit hall with a stronger finish imho and give people a good reason for a final visit on Sunday to drop their cards off to the exhibitors. We can workout procedural details a bit, perhaps assigning time slots for exhibitors to give their prizes away to those in attendance, perhaps having a central stage on the expo floor where the prizes are given away. I know some of the exhibitors are already giving out prizes at their booths on the last day, a little coordination I think will make it better - as some of the good prizes are given out while presentations are in progress and thus having a presentation break during the last hour of the expo hall imho would be nice. The most important is to give value to the exhibitors, speakers, and attendees for attending SCALE in person. Keeping Sunday strong imho is critical. Thank You Matti
