LISA envoy, flyer
by Lori Barfield 14 Dec '12

14 Dec '12

hello, scale-planners, we are sending an envoy to LISA to man a SCaLE booth on the exhibit floor. we were thinking of handing out flyers and we can use your input on that and the booth. darkwing (david.wonderly(a)ubuntu.org) says he will make us a flyer tomorrow. to make getting started easier, i am trying to collect links to the graphics and text we already have that he is likely to need. i was thinking of a two-sided flyer, the front being a standard thing with our new motif, and the back promoting selected special events. should we use colored paper? colored ink? how many should we print up? ilan, you mentioned cross-promoting other events. can you please reply with the source for your linuxfests flyer used recently? orv/gareth, since the Beginner Training and Next Generation efforts are relatively new dimensions for our event, would you like us to emphasize them at the booth? perhaps we could use the back of the flyer for those details. if we do that, then the flyer becomes a handout that LISA-goers can share with the linux newbies they know at home and the office. have you guys got any promotional text or graphics from last year that darkwing can use? darkwing, here's what i dug up so far. last year's design git: https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/SCALE-Design our new slogan and motif for 11x: http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale11x/ previous flyer PDFs: http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x-supporting/sites/default/files/promo… http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/sites/socallinuxexpo.org.scale9x/file… http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale8x/sites/socallinuxexpo.org.scale8x/file… previous misc promo item collections: http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x/promo-items http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/blog/scale-9x-flyer.html http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale8x/flyers-and-logos.html thanks, ...lori

Hi. Congratulations on yet another great conference! (What was the attendee count this year?) Are there going to be MP3s of the talks available for download, as there were in previous years, please? (I don't expect them right away, just asking if recordings will be available?) Best, Aleksey

Linux Training Class tomorrow, March 3rd
by Orv Beach 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

SCALE's Beginners Linux training class is tomorrow, March 3rd, and we still have a few open spots left in the class. The class will include: - an overview of the Open Source community and resources available within it. - a discussion of Linux's capabilities - an installfest - Basic system administration training, given by a professional trainer - An open problem solving lab, where students learn to configure printers, wireless access, etc. If someone you know is interested in Linux, but needs help getting started, this is a perfect way for them to spend a Saturday! A suitable computer for the class would have 1.5 GHz or greater CPU, 1 Gig of RAM and at least 10 Gigs of free disk space. Class is 10-5 at the Hilton LAX, cost is $25.

Free Software Representation at SCaLE
by Mark Holmquist 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

Hi! I didn't want to voice this concern before the conference (figuring that, like me, the planning team had plenty to do already), but now I have something pretty important to say. Read on. Some background: I'm a Free Software user. That means that when you tell me "Southern California Linux Expo", I wonder why "GNU" isn't included. I also wonder why BSD and Haiku (among other, non-Linux operating systems) are included. But those things are not the real reason I'm emailing today. It is because, this year, I noticed a marked absence of free software talks and programs. The FOSS Mentoring program, which was a step in the right direction, remained (though, I think, was added very late). Many other, new programs were added that represent the Open Source ideals. There are also new programs that represent the Linux community. There were presentations on nonfree cloud services (in fact, the Saturday keynote focused on one). There were several presentations on Oracle projects, which cannot be in *perfect* keeping with Free Software ideals. In fact, the only other example of a Free Software presentation I can see is Tom Callaway's, for which I commend him. This brings me to a question: Is the Free Software community so diminutive that no speakers wanted to address them? Or is this a preference of the SCaLE planners that is manifesting in policy? Another question: Is it wise, given this conference's need for attendees, to systematically exclude any community that would otherwise want to attend? I hope to discuss this further upon replies. I, for one, refused to attend for those very reasons, so I hope that you will consider changing these policies, or maybe asking for term-agnostic presentations, before next year's conference. Thanks. -- Mark Holmquist Student, Computer Science University of Redlands MarkTraceur(a)gmail.com

Free Software Representation at SCaLE
by Jeff Lassman 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

I realize the expo is over and everything thinks they have a lot of time on their hands. Nevertheless, unless we want to be known as a political group, I believe it's time to end this thread and to refrain from ever starting another. We're a Linux fest first and foremost. Anyone who doesn't like for SCaLE for political reasons is, I'm sure, able to quit the list and stop offering any volunteer efforts. This is my first, and will be my last, post on the matter.
