[SGVLUG] Lost/Found Jacket and Fw: [SCALE 10X] SCALE 10X ends on a high note

[matti]

Hi!

SCALE 10x did really well this year.
( please see the press below )

Naturally, we are always looking for ways to improve,
and imho anyone interested in helping make SCALE
better is welcome to volunteer their skills/time.

Also, at our next meeting, in addition to discussing
the SGVLUG new website, I thought getting a bit
of feedback on SCALE would be appropriate ( we
will probably make that part quick so we have enough
time to discuss the new Drupal Website ;)

OH!, and we found a camo sweat jacket which iirc
belongs to a SGVLUG member... email me if you lost it
at SCALE

Thanks!
matti

More than 100 exhibitors.

More than 130 sessions.

Nearly 2,000 attendees.

Put this all together and you have the most successful Southern
California Linux Expo to date with this year's SCALE 10X.

The final numbers for SCALE 10X are 101 exhibitors, 132 sessions and
an increase of 9 percent in attendance over SCALE 9X.

SCALE 10X played host to a number of firsts, among them “SCALE: The
Next Generation” event, run by kids, for kids; and the first Linux
Beginners' Course, which had 43 attendees for its inaugural two-day
class. Both events will be repeated at SCALE 11X in 2013.

Game Night on SCALE 10X, as mentioned by show-goers, “hit it out of
the park.” With a wide variety of games, including a History of
Nintendo exhibit which gave folks the chance to play different
versions of Mario on vintage hardware all
night, as well as pool tables, foosball, board games, and a LAN party
arena sponsored by ZaReason. The evening wrapped up with milk, ice
cream sandwiches and Android-shaped cookies on Saturday. Special
thanks go to the sponsors: Google, iXsystems, CityGrid Media, Media
Temple, Hewlett-Packard and ZaReason. 

Speakers, attendees and sponsors so far have given a general “thumbs
up” for the show, which ran from Jan. 20-22 this year. Individual
session attendance ranged from half- to full-rooms, and some were
standing room only. Birds of a Feather (BoF) events were up in number
at SCALE 10X.

Streaming live video, sponsored by Ooyala, and video cameras provided
by Axis gave the outside world access to watch the speakers and their
sessions. The SCALE network infrastructure was nearly flawless this
year, with over 30 Megabits per second of bandwidth to the Internet.
The SCALE 10X Team will announce shortly where the audio/video for the
presentations will be hosted.

Photos of the show can be found on flickr.com, searching for those
tagged scale10x.

As the SCALE 10X team ties up the proverbial loose ends and will send
a final announcement soon with more show specifics, the team would
like to thank the sponsors of the expo for wide range of support, both
for the most recent event and throughout the history of the expo:
Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Servers Direct, CityGrid Media, 10gen,
Eucalyptus, SoftLayer, SeaMicro, Pogo Linux, Opscode, GoDaddy,
Facebook, BeyondTrust, DreamHost, ixSystems, MediaTemple, Google,
Cars.com, OneCourseSource, Cloudstack, Ceph, Q, PuppetLabs, Canonical,
O'Reilly Media, ActiveState, Backbone Magazine, USENIX, FullCircle
Magazine, OpenSource.com, LWN.net, Web Host Industry Review, Lxer,
Open Storage Summit, Linux Journal and Ubuntu User.
