[SGVLUG] Meeting Thur 2/14, plus some SCALE notes..

[Shang-Lin Eileen Chen]

I, too, enjoyed this year's SCALE. I went on Friday to the Women in Open
Source conference and on Saturday. Some of the talks were great, others less
so, but I made a couple of good networking connections. I'm looking forward
to the notes and possibly videos from the talks I didn't attend.

That was also my experience when I took the Westin shuttle from the airport
on Friday. On Saturday I took the 439 bus from Union Station. It was about
the same amount of time as the Flyaway+shuttle, but I didn't have to wait a
long time for the bus (good timing, I guess).

While waiting in line at Subway behind one of the organizers, I heard that
next year they plan to move the conference to a bigger location, either in
the same area or downtown.
