LISA Conference in DC
by SCALE Planning List 11 Nov '15

11 Nov '15

Hi All, I was curious will any SCALE folks be at LISA next week? While we do not have a booth there, we do have some materials that the LISA folks will be putting in bags/on tables. If anyone is in town for that, would you be willing / interested in checking in to make sure it all got set out for us? Would also appreciate any help folks are willing to offer with sponsor outreach on site. Thanks! Ilan ilan(a)socallinuxexpo.org

Audio Promo / PSA
by SCALE Planning List 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Hello, Over the last few years we've been recording a 45sec to 70sec audio ad for SCALE that many tech podcasts play for us to promote SCALE to their listeners. Would anyone be interested in taking a stab at this for SCALE 2016? I've kicked off a ticket (https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/SCALE-Design/issues/138) to track our discussions / work on this front. Here are a few examples of the ones Jason Riker has recorded over the years. We had similar records for SCALE 12x and SCALE 13x, I just don't have them handy at the moment. SCALE 11x http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale11x-supporting/default/files/promo/scale… SCALE 10x https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x-supporting/sites/default/files/prom… Looking forward to everyone's ideas on how to spread the word about SCALE! Regards, Ilan

To help get the ideas flowing here are a few examples from SCALE 9x: https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/promo-items.html On 10/30/15 10:45 PM, Ilan Rabinovitch wrote: > Hi everyone, > > First I wanted to welcome the large group of new comers to > scale-planning.

[Volunteer Opportunity] Posting SCALE to Local Event Calendars
by SCALE Planning List 31 Oct '15

31 Oct '15

Hello, Since we are new to the Pasadena area it would be good to spread the word about SCALE and our associated events (UbuCon, DevOpsDays, etc). If you know of newspapers, websites, or other event calendars we should post info about SCALE to in Pasadena and/or the wider SoCal area, we'd appreciate your help in creating a list here: https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/SCALE-Design/issues/137 I'm copying the SCALE-PR team to help with some text we can use for the postings as well. Thanks, Ilan

[Volunteer Opportunity] Youtube Channel Artwork
by SCALE Planning List 31 Oct '15

31 Oct '15

Hi everyone, SCALE uses Youtube for our live streaming and on demand recordings of SCALE shows and content. At the moment ourchannel <http://youtube.com/socallinuxexpo>is using the default layout and artwork. It'd be great to SCALE brand it. Would anyone be interested in creating custom artwork for the youtube channel? Instructions for how to do so are available here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2972003?hl=en I've created a ticket to track here (https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/SCALE-Design/issues/123). Appreciate any help/volunteers. Thanks! Ilan -- Ilan Rabinovitch Conference Chair Southern California Linux Expo 877-831-2569 x110 Voice 818-442-1865 Mobile ilan(a)linuxfests.org Email

[Volunteer Opportunity] Design Banner Ads
by SCALE Planning List 31 Oct '15

31 Oct '15

Hi everyone, First I wanted to welcome the large group of new comers to scale-planning. We appreciate your joining in the adventure that is SCALE planning. As promised, we will be posting here more often about how planning is coming along and where help is needed. With that in mind, we've recently arranged to run banner ads on a number of websites focused on linux, open source, devops, and other related topics where we can reach potential attendees. To take advantage of this though we need some help in creating the banner ads and other creative to be used there. https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/SCALE-Design/issues/130 https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/SCALE-Design/issues/133 We've been given the following specs for ads. Preferably in PNG, but JPG is acceptable as well. 728x90 160x600 300x250 160x600 While we don't need ads for all of these sizes, the more sizes we provide the better chance we have of being included in the various sites rotations. With that in mind if you'd like to take a stab at one or more of the pieces we'd love your help. Thanks!

Stop by and say hello, and if you're up for it I'm sure Jason would love someone to help him out with the booth.

18 Aug '14

Hey All, I'm on a hunt to find a volunteer or two for some art/design related work for SCALE 13x. There are a number of things that will need to be created for print, screen, and swag. If you have experience with creating art or doing design work and are interested (or know somebody else who might be), please send me an email. Thanks, Josh

Re: [Scale-planning] SCALE 13X Call for Papers Questions
by Jenn Waterman 16 Aug '14

16 Aug '14

Hi everyone, I'm so glad this topic has been raised because I think it could be valuable in the long term! Phil mentioned: "I would like us to gather this optional data and publish the statistics. I hope that this will encourage others to do so as well. Doing that will shed light on the problems we have and the problems we don't have, and enable all of us to work together." I agree, Phil! One of the constant refrains in technology is that there are not "enough" women (how many women are "enough" women, one wonders); at tech conferences there are not "enough" women and there is not "enough" diversity in general. A great starting point in solving these problems or at least in understanding them better seems to be in gathering some relevant data. (For example, when we say there are not "enough" women in technology, it's important to think about questions like, "How many women are graduating with degrees relating to technology?" "How many women are applying for technical jobs?" "What percentage of women are in leadership roles within the field?" ... These questions can help to identify what the true obstacles may be, weeding them out from opinions and hyperbole.) I think that it could be important and relevant to gather this information not only for SCALE -- because this would be really useful information to have when answering questions about the diversity of the event, which is a topic that always, always comes up -- but for other conferences as well. I have seen a huge increase in diversity at SCALE over the years but it seems to be an area that always needs improvement. We can't move forward meaningfully without first identifying the areas that truly need improvement. Also, it's just really interesting to gather data. Now what can be done to address the question of whether or not "enough" geeks attend? :) - Jenn
