Danny, many of our SGVLUG members either volunteer at SCaLE or speak at SCaLE, so if you want to learn more about it, feel free to join us.  The meeting starts at 7pm, and usually, the presentation starts at 8pm.  OpenX (888 E Walnut Street, Pasadena, CA) is hosting and sponsoring pizza and drinks.  Also since it's right after SCaLE, we'll be talking about SCaLE, and depending on the number of attendees, I may try to run a raffle since we have left over booth swag.

Unusually for us, this month will be a class on "Data Carpentry and Open Science" by the head of Research Services at Caltech.  The target audience is postdocs, researchers and citizen scientists.

Matti, you should come if you're available.  If we want to extend Open Data to science data or want to encourage a track on scientists using open source tools, this might be a good way to start.  I know that NASA is promoting both open data and open source.

PS I am trying to line up a talk on VR, though we don't have any open slots till July.

HI Danny,

Hope you were able to join us, we're always excited to see new people learning linux and other open source technologies to join us, and especially would like to see more college and universities students.

Hi, I'm Danny and I'm taking a Linux sysadmin class at Glendale Community College. I'd like to volunteer for Scale because I don't really know anyone in the community. About me: Open Source software is important to me. I don't know much yet but the principles resonate with me. I'm interested in automation, VR and the tools to create those environments. I like movies like Tron, The Matrix, ExistenZ, Lawnmower Man, The Thirteenth Floor, Ghost in the Shell, Total Recall
