This Week in SCALE - Week of May 2nd
by SCALE Planning List 09 May '16

09 May '16

Hello, As we mentioned in our update a few weeks ago, we are working to increase the openness of SCALE planning. With that in mind I’m going to try to send at least bi-weekly updates here on progress of our various projects. Hopefully the need for this will be obviated once the issues with mailing list are fixed and more teams are posting here directly. Regards, Regards, Ilan Rabinovitch Conference Chair Southern California Linux Expo 877-831-2569 x110 Voice 818-442-1865 Mobile ilan(a)socallinuxexpo.org Email OSCONBooth The SCALE team will be exhibiting at OSCON in collaboration with other LinuxFests.org events such as TXLF and SEAGL. We will also be sharing space with LinuxFest NorthWest. If you would like to help with producing flyers, or with staffing the booth please let us know! OSCON will be held in Austin May 16-19, 2016. Community Leadership Summit LinuxFests’s newest member program, the Community Leadership Summit <http://www.communityleadershipsummit.com> will be held May 14-15, 2016 leading in to OSCON. Many SCALE team members will be present, if you are in the area please consider joining us as well. WebsiteOpen Source Website Code Ron has posted all our drupal code to github <https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/scale-drupal> as agreed to in the post-con meeting on 4/16. If you have experience with Drupal or PHP development, we invite you to join the scale-webdev team. Prep Call For Papers Ron has reset the CFP system and is looking for feedback. If you’d like to help test it out, please check the open github issue. <https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/SCALE-Planning/issues/190> SCALE 15x ProgramCall for Papers Shyam is currently working on writing our 2017 call for papers. Our goal is to launch it in mid May, ahead of OSCON but we may be delayed as we are still working on recruiting leads for many of the tracks. UpSCALE Jason Hibbets and the OpenSource.com team have expressed interest in producing the SCALE lightning talks program in 2017. Hannah Anderson and Jason are working on what the new format will look like, we expect to have further updates closer to SCALE. We are excited to welcome Jason and his colleagues to the SCALE planning team. If you would like to participate as well, please reach out to Hannah. TechActUSA Hand Off Josh Hoblitt, Ev Batey and Bala attended a meeting with Stu Sheldon (ActUSA) to complete a services handoff. Bala has posted notes to the tech list. Mail Migration The INFRA sub-team completed the migration of email from ActUSA’s servers to Google Apps for Nonprofits. If you are having trouble accessing your SCALE email account for some reason please let us know by filing a ticket in github or emailing Josh Hobllit, Bala or Ilan. DNS DNS for linuxfests.org/com/net and socallinuxexpo.org/com/net have been migrated from ActUSA to Amazon Web Services’s Route53. The code used for this migration is available on github <https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/scale-dns/>. If you would like to contribute to this or other SCALE infra projects we welcome your pull requests! We are aware that as a result of this migration SCALE DNS services are now IPv4 only. This is expected to be temporary only, and was necessary to allow us to regain control of DNS to unblock our migration of mail and other services. The INFRA team is committed to ensuring that SCALE services continue to be available via both IPv4 and IPv6, we are currently evaluating long term DNS solutions. Mailing Lists and Wiki We have not yet begun work on migrating mailman or phplist to alternate providers. We are currently evaluating a number of infrastructure providers. We promised to fix the settings on scale-planning to not strip FROM addresses, bounce messages when emails are rejected, as well as allow participation from all ISPs regardless of DMARC policy. Delivery on these promises is blocked on migration. We expect to have this done before the end of May. Website Our websites remain at ActUSA until a new infrastructure provider has been selected. However, we have begun preparing automation tooling for deploying our web services. To this end, Ron Golan has made our drupal code available in a git repository <https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/scale-drupal>. The INFRA team has begun developing chef recipes <https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/scale-chef> for managing our web servers. The goal is to build these such that they can be tested locally in Vagrant. If you have experience with Chef for configuration management, I am sure that the team would be happy to have a hand in further development. Wiki SCALE has historically maintained a private wiki for planning purposes. The wiki was Mediawiki based. The wiki remains online on ActUSA’s servers, but we have begun the process of migrating it using mediawiki-to-markdown <https://github.com/philipashlock/mediawiki-to-markdown>. We are currently working through some formatting issues, but expect to have the wiki ported to Github later this week. Want to lend a hand? Email bala(a)socallinuxexpo.org VOIP SCALE has had a customer service line (+1-877-831-2569) for many years. The DID is via by Teliax <http://www.teliax.com>, and was historically terminated asterisk server maintained by ActUSA on our behalf. While in the past several SCALE staff members used it for inbound/outbound calls with SIP or IAX soft phones, these days the majority of calls are forwarded to individual’s cel phones. As such we are currently in discussion with Teliax about moving to a pay-as-you-go hosted PBX service they now offer. So far testing has been positive, but there is a caveat that we will need to change our users’ extensions. Current SCALE extensions are (3) digits, but Teliax only supports 2 or 4 digit extensions. Impact should be minor but we’ll need to go back and reprint any business cards as well as update our website. Other Projects We have a number of other pending infra projects. If you’d like to participate please check our issue <https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/scale-planning/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Ais…> queue for other areas you can lend a hand.

Organization Lists and Block Diagrams
by SCALE Planning List 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

Understand there is a GitHub repository for SCALE to which I have yet to gain access - Help Please. For Continuity of Operations, it would be valuable to have lists or org charts of functions and players so us lower experience level folks could better continue the show (yearly and event). Is there somewhere to fish for this? My main interest is Technical and AV content, so I was looking for some data elements: MAYBE the Web crew might want to build some private/tech page space for - people (per team) lists and responsibilities, - equipment lists with locations, poc, - servers (server parameters), - binaries, - code sources, - task management, - work breakdowns, - who are 1st and 2nd on each of those, - interface boundaries with other teams (AV, Web, ... ) - flow charts for show time - flow charts for year round work - lead times to our various now and later tasks .. - watchthatpage shows me daily changes to www.soclalinixexpo.org, what or who qualifies info for appearing on that update? -- R/ Everett Batey / Skype: wa6cre-10 / efbatey(a)gmail.com (805) 616-2471 / G-Talk/Twitter: efbatey / CrisisLinks http://bit.ly/cw95Um Please visit So Calif Linux Expo http://www.socallinuxexpo.org

SCALE 15x Planning and Updates
by SCALE Planning List 23 Apr '16

23 Apr '16

Hello Scale-Planning, Last weekend the SCALE Committee Chairs held our annual leadership meeting, where we discuss how previous years went, as well as kick off planning for the next year. It is important to note that more than 50% of SCALE leadership team is no longer based in Southern California so this type of in-person meeting does not always happen as often as we would like. During our discussions, one theme that came up repeatedly was a desire to increase the openness of our planning. Over the last ~10 years, as our teams have grown and specialized, many of the planning discussions have moved to private mailing lists. Although the isolation of discussions was not deliberate, this does not align with the open principles our events teach. With that in mind our teams will be moving the majority of SCALE related discussions and planning to this list, scale-planning. As part of this decision you will see some changes coming to this list in the next few weeks: Mailman Upgrade - Will be fixing the list to maintain FROM addresses on all posted emails. To accomplish this mailman will likely need to be upgraded to a newer version. See the minutes below for more details. Increased List Traffic - If you have gotten used to low traffic on this list, please expect this to change. We understand if you choose to unsubscribe, but hope you will choose to hang around and participate in the discussions. To start this process we are posting a summary of our meeting and some of the decisions that were made in the next few minutes below: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/162474/SCALEChairsMeeting41616.pdf Additionally, we will be tracking all work related items in our github issue queue at: https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/scale-planning/issues We look forward to your thoughts, feedback, and collaboration as we kick off planning for SCALE 2017. Regards, Ilan Rabinovitch Conference Chair SCALE 818-442-1865 Voice

Possible Keynote? Greenwave
by SCALE Planning List 22 Apr '16

22 Apr '16

fyi - Saw an interesting video... probably worth watching to see how it comes along.. <http://greenwave.org/> http://greenwave.org/ http://greenwave.org/about-us/press/ checkout their video on Huffington post, where they mention open sourcing the tech http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/greenwave-underwater-3d-farming_us_5715… http://greenwave.org/community/ *"GreenWave is at it’s core open source. Quicker time to market, more reliable & robust solutions are developed when everyone has a hand in it. Open source does not mean that we won’t see economic benefits. As a matter of fact, we believe that an open source approach means more opportunity for everyone involved."* Thank You Matti

I'm beginning to promote SCaLE 16x March 2-5th 2017, anyone going to NASAs Space Apps Challenge?
by SCALE Planning List 21 Apr '16

21 Apr '16

HI, 1) I'm starting to promote SCaLE 16x March 2-5th 2017. I will be encouraging greater participation of those involved in various pro-Open Source meetings / meetups / groups. I'd like to encourage anyone else interested to help. To help in this manner I was thinking about setting up a business card template with critical dates for SCaLE 16x. ( do we have artwork I can reference for that? ) 2) This weekend is the NASA Space App Challenge and I would like us to reach out to them and encourage their participation in SCaLE 16x. https://2016.spaceappschallenge.org/ I will be suggesting to those that are helping to organize the NASA event that SCaLE would make a great event for pro open data and open source space related topics to be shared. SCaLE probably is not a great for hackathons, but it is certainly a wonderful opportunity to share information and results from pro-open source hackathons and useful to support such hackathons. If anyone here knows of people helping to run the NASA SpaceApps challenge or will be participating in it, please help pass the word that SCaLE welcomes greater participation in our pro-open source community event. Thank You Matti
