[SGVLUG] SCALE 7x review con, and go if you haven't gone yet.

[matti]

Hi!

Wow, I've been to a number of really good
sessions on Sat. I'm just gonna do a quick
summary without my notes as I should be
sleeping right now getting ready for Sunday
at SCALE.


I really enjoyed the Keynote Sat, it's not
like the usual CEO keynotes you get
at many other conferences. Made me
think a lot more about freedoms in
the age of cloud computing / social
networks.


Oh, and quickly, you want to checkout:

www.openstreetmaps.org
think wikipedia meets mapping data.


AT the Expo floor, checkout the
usenix.org booth ( in the corner
towards the airport ) and pickup the
Login magazines they have. I highly
recommend reading those magazines. 



Anyways, IF you have not yet gone to
SCALE, DO go. There's still a lot
of great sessions, and with the lug
discount (SGVLU) it's still a deal
even if you just go for ONE day.

Oh! And parking.. park in the parking
lot of the bldg that has subway in it,
it is just East of the Hotel and the
price is listed as $6 (vs $14 for the day),
tho I suspect on Sunday there will be
no one at the booth.

Hope to see you there!

ps - please remember to help us look for
more speakers and new members.
