Hotel Rooms @ SCALE 15x
by Ilan Rabinovitch 26 Aug '16

26 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

We track work at https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/scale-planning/issues right now. Code for apps would likely go in their own repos, which we're happy to create if someone is on board to build something.

I know NASA has some stuff on GitHub now and I have recruited a speaker for one of the projects, OpenMCT, to submit to the Call for Papers.

I found a developer who would be interested in trying to build this app on a volunteer basis as a way of broadening his portfolio for his new consulting business. He is new to the world of open source and keen to learn more. He is also into UX. Could you remind me where you track these issues, or should we start a new repo for it? I am highly interested in pushing this along but reluctant to take more than temporary custody for fear of overloading my plate.

Most of our teams are using github wikis or google docs at this point for sharing notes, and github issues for tickets/work tracking. Would ideally like to keep to these so that we're not spread across too many different tools. In terms of chat we've got slack setup. Happy to invite anyone that need access. -Ilan On Wed, Aug 10, 2016 at 4:46 PM, Lan Dang via Scale-planning < scale-planning(a)lists.linuxfests.org> wrote: > _______________________________________________ > Scale-planning mailing list > Scale-planning(a)lists.linuxfests.org > https://lists.linuxfests.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scale-planning > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Lan Dang <l.dang(a)ymail.com> > To: SCALE Planning List <scale-planning(a)lists.linuxfests.org> > Cc: > Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2016 23:46:11 +0000 (UTC) > Subject: Collaboration tools > > > A comment came up earlier in the OSSIE thread about getting access to a > wiki or some kind of folder. > > > I know there is a SCALE wiki, but I tended to use that more as a reference > than something I wanted to contribute to.

Re: [Scale-planning] Open Source in Education Track (was Re: About the Open Data Track)

OK. Try this link for the CUE-LA newsletter! http://bit.ly/2ah2Qdp Sorry I messed up the first one, my 5-year-old granddaughter was rushing me … "hurry up, Grandma…." Caryl Good idea, Joe…. I also mentioned parents in my earlier post. Many of the regular attendees (and their spouses) are parents and would probably enjoy some breaks from the "heavier stuff" (that is not to say that education is "lighter stuff") to learn about OSSIE resources they could use with their family. I know we don't have a budget, but since Kenneth mentioned STEM/STEAM I looked at some possibilities. Wouldn't it be great if we could get this couple from Nebraska to come to SCaLE and talk about their 3-D printed violin? They are hoping to do other instruments so schools can use them. The problem is, it costs $450* to buy the printed parts or $600 for the whole violin. But… it only costs about $70 for materials to print it and the design is open source and is, of course… free. They say it can be done on a desktop 3-D printer! https://opensource.com/life/16/5/hovalin Also, CUE-LA has several upcoming events. We can see what they are doing for those to get some ideas. I got an email from them today and will forward a link to their newsletter. Many of their interests are in propriatory software, but there are many good things we could introduce them to that are open source. Here is a link to the newsletter: CUELA August Events & Updates http://bit.ly/2ah2Qdp http://bit.ly/2ah2Qdp http://bit.ly/2ah2Qdp Caryl * You can buy several good Chinese-made traditional wood violins for that price so it isn't feasable for schools… but the $70 one is. From: joerenzullo(a)gmail.com Date: Tue, 2 Aug 2016 13:56:26 -0700 To: scale-planning(a)lists.linuxfests.org Subject: Re: [Scale-planning] Open Source in Education Track (was Re: About the Open Data Track) Jumping in on this conversation - I'd be interested in proposing a talk for this track! This summer, I taught 60 students (ages 8-14) in a summer enrichment program how to program using Minecraft and Python. We ran code on Raspberry Pi systems, used Linux hosts for class-wide servers for the students to collaborate, and demonstrated how to interact with the game world and generate large structures by defining the basic geometric solids as functions that the students could use via a simple API. It was hugely successful, and I am working on curriculum based on it that I am in talks with my university (UNM in Albuquerque) to roll out to our CS4All teacher-training program. I can also inquire as to the (very good!) idea of getting teacher credits approved for conference attendance/participation. Several of my family members work in the Pasadena Unified School District, and I imagine that this would draw a great deal of interest from middle and high school teachers at the campuses which have STEM/STEAM programs. I also very much like the idea of broadening this to parents who are interested in resources for working with their own kids - about 10 of the families whose students I taught this summer have followed up with me post-program to ask for more information and "next steps" they can take with their kids. -Joe Renzullo PhD Student, Computer Science, University of New Mexico Software Engineer (Academic Part Time), JPL On Tue, Aug 2, 2016 at 1:36 PM, Ilan Rabinovitch <ilan(a)linuxfests.org> wrote: I don't know if we'll have space for multiple rooms.
