Opportunities to promote SCALE 15x at So Cal Code Camp LA Sat-Sun Nov 12-13, 2016
by Mx Siltanen 17 Oct '16

17 Oct '16

Hi, So Cal Code Camp is a free community run developer centric event. Everyone interested in dev related topics is welcome to participate. I am working with the organizers to do community outreach and help build a stronger event. Everyone from SCALE and any LUG or open source tech group is invited and welcome to participate in So Cal Code Camp. I would like to see a few members of the area LUGs signup to do some interesting presentations. During the presentation you can mention who you are as well as the LUG / UG you participate in and that the group meets regularly and encourages new members to join, as well as mentioning that SCALE 15x is coming in March. http://www.socalcodecamp.com/ Feel free to ask me questions. Thank You Matti

scale-chef is now open
by Phil Dibowitz 16 Oct '16

16 Oct '16

I've marked our chef repo as public: https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/scale-chef It's by no means in perfect shape, but there's no secrets in it, there's contributing docs, and it's running the site, so no reason not to have it open to the world. My co-workers were kind enough to help over the last few months whipping this all into shape. The goal of doing all the work we did to automate everything the site does in Chef was to make sure the setup was transparent, easy to see, and easy to contribute to. While it follows the Facebook model (which meant having to write very little code ourselves), which isn't the most common model in the Chef world, it is a well documented and used by a variety of organizations (not just FB), and most importantly, it makes making changes very simple. -- 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

Hi, fyi - Spoke to Mark Shuttleworth in person at the Juju Summit if he would be available to present for the CxO / Business track we are planning, and he mentioned that SCALE 15x in March 2-5th collides with MWC ( Mobile World Congress ends March 2 ) and that would impact his availability. https://www.mobileworldcongress.com/ Thank You Matti On Fri, Aug 26, 2016 at 9:33 PM, Mx Siltanen <mrsiltanen(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi, > > This is what I was thinking, it's a draft at this point, please feel free > to chime in. > ( perhaps we can do a slack session for more detailed discussion? ) > > > "We would like to introduce a new track covering the nexus between CxOs > and Open Source technology and concepts. > > Purpose: To share experiences, knowledge, and network with each other > regarding open source technology and concepts to enable more effective and > robust business solutions from a CxO perspective. > > Possible presentation topics: > 1 - Open Source Licensing ( perhaps we can do a quick summary and point > people to the legal track for more ) > 2 - Fighting patent challenges > 3 - How to retain and attract Open Source developers and promote Open > Source contributions within the organization, and address the legal issues. > 4 - ...

StackOverflow Open Source Ads
by Ilan Rabinovitch 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

Hello, StackOverflow has a program for running ad's for FLOSS projects. Not entirely sure if we quality, but seems worth a shot. Should be easy for us to get the votes needed. http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/327559/open-source-advertising-2h-2… Josh, Would you or someone else on the team want to take a stab at a design? Thanks, Ilan

Track ideas at future SCaLEs and Q about track leads
by SCALE Planning List 26 Aug '16

26 Aug '16

HI, Reaching out the key members of the pro-open source user community there's a few track ideas I would like to share with everyone here. A) I believe we can find volunteers to help get these tracks organized, so that they take minimal time from the core SCaLE team. B) Question on how to help make procedures / infrastructure to assist in building these tracks. Track ideas: 1) Open Data track / Civic Open Data - I believe this would make a great track, and that we can get the City of Pasadena, City of LA and OTHER cities to participate. They can use this track to help supplement their city run hack-a-thons. ( we can probably get the various Open Data SaaS providers to sponsor the tracks ) 2) CTO mixer - we need imho to bring in CxOs into SCaLE to help bring great industry support and encourage their staffs to join us. Joe Devon who organizers and runs a lot of the pro-open source LA meetups is currently running a CTO mixer meetup - and discussing this with him seems like this would be a great fit for SCaLE. - I was thinking Thur would be a great day for this... and I would expect that we can get some good sponsorship for this. 3) Space / Space Open Data - NASA just had their Space App Challenge and it was well attended in Pasadena, as well as OC and they had events throughout the world. The also had Open Data available for attendees, and JPL has an Open Data proponent. With Space X also in LA we should be able to find some great opportunities to make a "Space / Space Open Data" track. We could have this be a Science Open Data track for 1 day followed by a Civic Open Data track 4) Storage track - Jordan Swartz talked to me about creating an Storage track Thur before DevOps day. Sounded like a great idea, and he seemed very interested in being the lead. Qs: How do we coordinate and empower those interested in creating good tracks into SCaLE? Do I ask potential leads to join the planning list? Do we have any SaaS tools which are useful? Thank You Matti

Hotel Rooms @ SCALE 15x
by Ilan Rabinovitch 25 Aug '16

25 Aug '16

Hello, The room blocks for SCALE 15x are now open at the Pasadena Sheraton and Pasadena Hilton. We expect these to be listed on the website in the next week or so, but wanted to reach out to the scale-planning list and give you all a head start on booking your rooms as they tend to go fast. The rate at both hotels is the same. However the Sheraton is onsite at the convention center, while the Hilton is a short 5-10 minute walk away. Sheraton https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/Book/SCALE15x Hilton http://www.hilton.com/en/hi/groups/personalized/P/PASPHHF- SCLE-20170227/index.jhtml?WT.mc_id=POG We do not at this point have a room block with the Westin, as it is the furthest Pasadena hotel and had significantly higher nightly rates than the Sheraton and Hilton. Regards, Ilan
