Howdy,

I have experience with Drupal and may be interested in contributing with
the website.

How does one join the scale-webdev team?

> Shyam is currently working on writing our 2017 call for papers. Our goal
> is to launch it in mid May, ahead of OSCON but we may be delayed as we are
> still working on recruiting leads for many of the tracks.
> UpSCALE
>
> Jason Hibbets and the OpenSource.com team have expressed interest in
> producing the SCALE lightning talks program in 2017.  Hannah Anderson and
> Jason are working on what the new format will look like, we expect to have
> further updates closer to SCALE.  We are excited to welcome Jason and his
> colleagues to the SCALE planning team.  If you would like to participate as
> well, please reach out to Hannah.
> TechActUSA Hand Off
>
> Josh Hoblitt, Ev Batey and Bala attended a meeting with Stu Sheldon
> (ActUSA) to complete a services handoff. Bala has posted notes to the tech
> list.
> Mail Migration
>
> The INFRA sub-team completed the migration of email from ActUSA’s servers
> to Google Apps for Nonprofits.  If you are having trouble accessing your
> SCALE email account for some reason please let us know by filing a ticket
> in github or emailing Josh Hobllit, Bala or Ilan.
> DNS
>
> DNS for linuxfests.org/com/net and socallinuxexpo.org/com/net have been
> migrated from ActUSA to Amazon Web Services’s Route53.  The code used for
> this migration is available on github
> <https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/scale-dns/>. If you would like to
> contribute to this or other SCALE infra projects we welcome your pull
> requests!
>
>
> We are aware that as a result of this migration SCALE DNS services are now
> IPv4 only.  This is expected to be temporary only, and was necessary to
> allow us to regain control of DNS to unblock our migration of mail and
> other services. The INFRA team is committed to ensuring that SCALE services
> continue to be available via both IPv4 and IPv6, we are currently
> evaluating long term DNS solutions.
> Mailing Lists and Wiki
>
> We have not yet begun work on migrating mailman or phplist to alternate
> providers. We are currently evaluating a number of infrastructure
> providers.  We promised to fix the settings on scale-planning to not strip
> FROM addresses, bounce messages when emails are rejected, as well as allow
> participation from all ISPs regardless of DMARC policy.  Delivery on these
> promises is blocked on migration.  We expect to have this done before the
> end of May.
> Website
>
> Our websites remain at ActUSA until a new infrastructure provider has been
> selected.  However, we have begun preparing automation tooling for
> deploying our web services. To this end, Ron Golan has made our drupal code
> available in a git repository
> <https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/scale-drupal>. The INFRA team has
> begun developing chef recipes
> <https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/scale-chef> for managing our web
> servers.  The goal is to build these such that they can be tested locally
> in Vagrant.  If you have experience with Chef for configuration management,
> I am sure that the team would be happy to have a hand in further
> development.
> Wiki
>
> SCALE has historically maintained a private wiki for planning purposes.
> The wiki was Mediawiki based.  The wiki remains online on ActUSA’s servers,
> but we have begun the process of migrating it using mediawiki-to-markdown
> <https://github.com/philipashlock/mediawiki-to-markdown>.  We are
> currently working through some formatting issues, but expect to have the
> wiki ported to Github later this week.  Want to lend a hand? Email
> bala at socallinuxexpo.org
> <javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','bala at socallinuxexpo.org');>
> VOIP
>
> SCALE has had a customer service line (+1-877-831-2569) for many years.
> The DID is via by Teliax <http://www.teliax.com>, and was historically
> terminated asterisk server maintained by ActUSA on our behalf.  While in
> the past several SCALE staff members used it for inbound/outbound calls
> with SIP or IAX soft phones, these days the majority of calls are forwarded
> to individual’s cel phones. As such we are currently in discussion with
> Teliax about moving to a pay-as-you-go hosted PBX service they now offer.
> So far testing has been positive, but there is a caveat that we will need
> to change our users’ extensions.  Current SCALE extensions are (3) digits,
> but Teliax only supports 2 or 4 digit extensions.  Impact should be minor
> but we’ll need to go back and reprint any business cards as well as update
> our website.
> Other Projects
>
> We have a number of other pending infra projects. If you’d like to
> participate please check our issue
> <https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/scale-planning/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AINFRA>
> queue for other areas you can lend a hand.
