moin moin,
Do we have masking and vaccination requirements for SCaLE 20x? For 19x in
the Summer we required proof of vaccination or a negative test.
The most obvious URL is from 2020. Flashbacks from that post :).
https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/blog/coronavirus
I did find a short paragraph under policies.
https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/20x/policies
----
SCaLE follows and enforces health and saftey guidelines as recommended by
the State of California Dept. of Health, Los Angeles County Health, and
the CDC with regards to COVID-19. When purchasing a ticket to SCALE, you
attest that you understand, accept, will comply with our COVID-19
policies, precautions and safetly guidelines. We are not able to offer
refunds based on disagreements with this policy or failure to comply.
----
It says attendees will comply with our policies, but doesn't state what
they are or at least link to the guidelines from the named government
agencies.
The Public Health Pledge is gaining popularity for FLOSS conferences and
attendees. It encourages us to have a clear Health and Safety policy that
is easy to find and in the registration flow.
https://phpledge.com/
Can we include the policies requested by the Public Health Pledge and sign
on to it?
ciao,
der.hans

Hey All,
Just a quick reminder that the SCALE 2023 CFP is closing in 1 month on
December 2nd.
We hope to see submissions from many of you.
Also if there is someone you'd like to see speak at SCALE, consider sharing
the CFP with them.
Cheers,
Ilan
Thanks Matt. It's going to be really busy. Supplyframe is doing their
open house before our event--or we may be a part of their open house event,
so we'll probably have the Hackaday community there. We'll also have at
least one Open Source Rover there. I will try my hardest to bring mine.
All,
Our local newspaper, the Pasadena Now, will be covering our event. I need
a little help compiling some material for them.
1) PR folks: any images you can share to represent SCALE 20x?
"...if you have any images (representing your event topic and/or of your
speakers/facilitators/participants) please send those as well"
2) And they've sent us some preliminary questions. I'm working on the
answers, but would be happy to incorporate your input.
- Can you please introduce SVGLUG to our readers?
- What makes the Linux operating system unique compared to the other
operating systems on the market?
- Can you give us examples of open source projects that you will be
discussing during Connect Week?
- How big is the Linux community here in Pasadena? How many Pasadenans
belong to SVGLUG?
- How important is collaboration in creating breakthrough open source
systems that are being used by prominent organizations such as JPL?

The SCaLE CFP is open and information is posted about all the tracks and
expected co-located events we're working on.
https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/20x/cfp
The website isn't fully updated yet but at least the cfp is updated
sufficiently that you can direct people there. Also talk submissions work
and so people can start submitting as soon as they're ready. We'll follow
up with a more organized plan to publicize this as the full website update
is finished but I wanted to let all of you know that the CFP is up and you
can send people to it.
Thanks to everyone who helped with the content and getting the website
updated.

Did you know there's a scale CFP reviewers mailing list? We're also using
this list for program planning in general. We're currently finalizing the
tracks for scale 20x before we open the Call For Papers (CFP) in the
next few weeks. There are opportunities for you to get involved as a track
lead or working with a track lead to select talks for a track. If you're
interested, please reach out to me or subscribe to the list and introduce
yourself.
https://lists.linuxfests.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scale-cfp-reviewers
I'll post again when the CFP is open. Even if you don't join us, I hope
everyone will publish the CFP to their network so we can find all the best
speakers for this anniversary year!

Moving this back to -planning. There's no secrets here.
Perhaps people have opinions on how they'd prefer to interact. We should
get input (if any) from the actual people on this list before deciding
one path is better than the other, or that we need 1 vs 2 or 2 vs 1.

Thanks to KC's idea to put docs in the the GH wiki, we now have some new
docs here:
https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/SCALE-Planning/wiki
* how to contribute
* how to review CFPs
* how to invite keynotes
Hopefully more to come.

It came up at SCaLE that we should look to have a Program chair again after
operating without one since Shyam stepped down. I've been a track lead for
a couple years and this is something I'd like to take on. As I see it we've
got a good group of track leads who have been operating pretty
independently. My hope is these folks will continue to lead their tracks
and will form the program committee to coordinate together where needed.
Initially my goals are pretty simple:
1. help the track leads get through the CFP selection process efficiently
and set the schedule
2. work out how we want to support our speakers during the conference - it
seems like several folks have feedback and ideas about this so it'll be the
first topic for discussion with the group
Assuming y'all are ok with it I'll hope to reach out to the track leads and
kick this off soon. It's a short year until March so CFP deadlines will
come up quick!
KC
