Tech: The good, the bad, and the ugly...
by Stuart Sheldon 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 A quick report from the Tech side of things... What we managed to do right: This year, the network came up, and with a little work with the hotel and Level3 we were able to deliver an awesome internet experience for attendees and exhibitors both. Wireless seemed rock solid for the entire show, and the new IP names of scale and scale-slow did exactly what they intended. This is the first time I have ever seen any statistics that showed 5g being the primary network of choice. The registration network and self registration system delivered on reliability and security this year. The use of Raspberry Pis for this was once again a well executed implementation of inexpensive hardware. The new Tech Stats sign outside of the NOC was a big hit as well this year. I don't think I saw a time when at least one person wasn't looking at it. The new radios that Tom in A/V selected for this year for the most part did exactly what we needed. And there were the orange shirts... This year if you had a question about anything related to SCaLE and couldn't find anyone to ask, you must have been color blind. No one could miss us with the new Tech shirts! Of all the feed back I got, I heard more positive comments from attendees about the shirts than almost any other new thing we did this year! What needs improvement: I almost put this up in the successful list, but although it worked flawlessly when someone called in, not many people did call in. This was most likely due to two things, lack of advertising around the hotel and the orange shirts eliminating many potential calls. I'm not sure what this will eventually turn into, but I believe we will be re-inventing this a bit for SCaLE 13x. Configuration Management was a goal for this year that we just couldn't fit into the short time we had left over for new things this year. I'm hoping we can move toward completing this earlier in our work cycles. Network Device Dependency is another thing that we need to do better. Although I am used to tracking things down via standard documentation, I am sure a visual representation of the network tree would be extremely useful to others in the NOC. I'll personally take this on, but would love input as well. This year was awesome! We all worked as a team, and we all shared our knowledge as a group. I hope everyone learned something this year, I know I did! Stu - -- "Just remember, when you?re over the hill, you begin to pick up speed." -- Charles M.

Game Night
by Lori Barfield 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

how about giving us some Game Night feedback? we had food, drinks, t-shirts, Neon Golf, table games, board games, movies, giveaways, and crafts for kids. let us know which things you think didn't work, and which you would like to see again. did you bring a +1 or kidling to the party? also, the pinball/arcade game vendor sent us an email asking which were your favorite games, and if we use him again, which ones you'd want in the future. ...lori

SCALE Presenters needed!
by Orv Beach 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

One of the tracks to be held at SCALE 12x will be a "Beginning Sysadmin" track. Rather than hope we get enough suitable submittals to fill the track we've been recruiting people to present specific topics in the track. We still have two topics we need presenters for. If you're a system administrator and are comfortable speaking in front of a group, please consider submitting a proposal to present one or both of these topics: NFS for the Sysadmin How to configure NFS services on a server; how to export file systems; how to configure a system to mount a NFS share at boot time; the differences between NFSv3 and NFSv4 Package Administration how to add, remove and patch packages via the command line (GUI demo optional). RPM based. (Note - the track is oriented towards RPM-based distros) To submit a proposal first create an account for yourself on the SCALE website. Then submit a proposal and make sure you select Audience - Beginner and Topic - Syadmin. Fill out the other fields as appropriate - include technical and speaking experience. Then drop a note to orv(a)socallinuxexpo.org letting us know you've submitted. Thanks in advance! Orv ------ Orv Beach Training Chair Southern California Linux Expo

Key Signing Party
by Ilan Rabinovitch 07 Jan '14

07 Jan '14

Hey Phil, Any thoughts on this year's keysigning party this year? Do we need to update the descriptions for last year? Given we run the game night downstairs, we may want to move the conga line somewhere else so that you guys can avoid interruptions. Thanks, Ilan -- Ilan Rabinovitch Conference Chair Southern California Linux Expo (w) 877.831.2569 x 110 (m) 818.442.1865 SCALE 12x: Feb 21-23, 2014 - Los Angeles CA Texas Linux Fest: June 13-14, 2014 - Austin, TX
