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
Hi Matti,
We have some tentative dates on hold from the venue, but nothing
officially announced just yet.
Regards,
Ilan

I've been working my way through the SCALE videos and came across a nice compliment to us volunteers and SCALE at the end of John Hawley's talk "Failure is half the fun of success."
It starts around 45:18 of the hour-long video, or it's in the last minute or so of the video, if you're looking at the trimmed version.

"I hoped you enjoyed SCALE. I hoped you enjoyed the talks. And if you did, please let the volunteers know you appreciated SCALE because good Lord, I've been watching them work their asses off all weekend and watching them work their asses off for months to pull this all off and honestly this is one of the best conferences I've ever been to, and I go to a *lot* of conferences."

Until we get the mailer software updated for this mailing list (planned
but not scheduled yet), please remember to put your name and email
address in your posts - otherwise they're anonymous and thus not useful
if we want to respond to you directly.
Thanks.

Does anyone have a good photo of the AREDN booth on the SCALE14x Expo floor?
If so, could you point me to it, please?
Thanks!

Here are the results of the Installfests held this weekend:
Saturday - 21 machines, 20 successful installs
Sunday - 15 machines, 14 successful installs (but the 15th student got
trained by virtue of a loaner laptop).
All in all a good effort with 30+ new Linux users unleashed on the Internet.
We hope to expand our training efforts in future SCALEs. More on that
later!
