Volunteers for Sponsorship Committee
by Ilan Rabinovitch 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

Hello, Its about that time again this year and we are starting to plan for SCALE 6x, the 2008 Southern California Linux Expo. As we begin our sponsorship drive, the sponsorship committee is looking for additional volunteers this year. This committee is responsible for recruiting all of the sponsors and commercial exhibitors you have seen at SCALE over the years. Is there a company you haven't seen at SCALE that you will like see in Feb 2008? Now is your chance to help make that happen! Sponsorship programs are the primary source of funding for the SCALE event. This funding allows us to continue bringing the community a high caliber event like SCALE. Funds are used to bring in great speaker sessions, offer free booths to .orgs, and more.... If you consider yourself a people person, are good on the phone, and are able to commit a few hours a week to assist us with the sponsorship process, we would greatly appreciate your help. While this is an unpaid volunteer position, it will provide you with a great opportunity to make business/marketing contacts in the open-source industry. Volunteers would: - Work with the sponsorship chair to identify potential sponsors and exhibitors. - Contact potential sponsors with the SCALE sponsorship and exhibitor opportunities (telephone and e-mail). - Meet with potential sponsors at other community events. - Assisting sponsors with preparations for SCALE. - Ensuring sponsors are satisfied and have everything they need during the show. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact me off list: ilan(a)socallinuxexpo.org Regards, Ilan Rabinovitch Conference Chair Southern California Linux Expo (w) 877.831.2569 x 110 (m) 818.442.1865

past year audio recordings?
by Phil Dibowitz 13 Mar '07

13 Mar '07

So I was mentioning to someone that each year we post audio recordings... and they said they couldn't find last year's recordings on the site. So I went to poke around, and I can't find them either. Am I missing them, or did they never get posted? -- Phil Dibowitz phil(a)ipom.com Open Source software and tech docs Insanity Palace of Metallica http://www.phildev.net/ http://www.ipom.com/ "Never write it in C if you can do it in 'awk'; Never do it in 'awk' if 'sed' can handle it; Never use 'sed' when 'tr' can do the job; Never invoke 'tr' when 'cat' is sufficient; Avoid using 'cat' whenever possible" -- Taylor's Laws of Programming

SCALE finalizes Expo Details
by gareth＠wiked.org 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

The Southern California Linux Expo is this weekend in Los Angeles. Here are some last minute details: The Expo has added one additional speaker. Doug Hass, Director of Business Development for ImageStream, will speak on "Advanced Quality of Service and Firewalls using Linux" His presentation covers the key concepts of quality of service and access list filtering using Open Source tools. The presentation includes an explanation of filtering using Linux's iptables tool and standard queuing methods as defined in the Differentiated Services RFC as well as applications of these methods through generic case studies. The Expo has added another BOF, "Schools And Open Source Software". There are a few BOF (Birds Of a Feather) session slots still available at SCALE on Sunday. If your group needs a meeting room for a BOF, contact gareth(a)socallinuxexpo.com to reserve one. The current BOFs can be viewed at http://socallinuxexpo.com/scale5x/events/bof.php If you live nearby, and have surplus electronic equipment you'd like to discard, you can bring it to SCALE and dispose of it legally. Access to the drop off point is a bit circuitous; we've created a map showing the approach and departure from the drop off area. If you are bringing equipment to dispose of, make sure you consult the map prior to leaving for the Westin. The map can be found at http://socallinuxexpo.com/scale5x/events/ewaste.php If you don't register ahead of time and have a question about the Expo during the Expo weekend, the SCALE phone number will be manned by Registration personnel during show hours. You can call 877-831-2569 and be routed through the SCALE Asterisk PBX directly to someone at Registration. The Vendor showcases currently booked are IBM with "Business Innovation Through Linux", and Verio with "Linux Virtualization in Action". The SCALE sponsors have generously donated oodles of prizes for the SCALE raffles. The biggies are: - Silicon Mechanics Rackform iServ R207 - This is a 1U rackmount server with a Dual-Core Intel Xeon CPU - 6-GB Seagate USB 2.0 pocket hard drive (Donated by Silicon Mechanics and Seagate) - Winner's choice of Intel Core 2 Duo or Dual-Core Intel Xeon 5130 Series processor (from Silicon Mechanics and Intel) - Four VIP Tickets to the Ticketmaster Suite at the Clippers VS Bobcats game February 26th at the Staples Center in Los Angeles Winners must be present to receive raffle prizes. SCALE has received a ton of books to disburse during the Expo. Each speaker at SCALE will receive several books to hand out at their session. (E.g., for the best question during a Q&A session). SCALE will be February 9-11, at The Westin LAX Hotel. Expo information and registration is available at http://socallinuxexpo.com/ Come join us for the best Open Source show on the West Coast!

SCALE needs your help
by gareth＠wiked.org 28 Jan '07

28 Jan '07

Given that SCALE is an all-volunteer organization, our pool of available manpower tends to be a bit variable. Now is one of those times when the pool needs a bit of refilling. We need some volunteers to assist with the following tasks at SCALE 5x - manning the Registration booth - helping exhibitors move in - helping the tech committee lay cable Friday - checking badges at the door - Introducing speakers, and otherwise managing the speaker rooms and tracks - and probably others chores not mentioned above What's in it for you? Free admission to SCALE and the Expo's undying gratitude - at least until next year. If you'd like to help out, send an email to bala(a)socallinuxexpo.org and let Bala, our Operations Chair know.
