This year we moved SCALE t-shirt pick up from registration to a booth
in the corner of the expo floor. Did this make registration less
chaotic? Was the t-shirt booth too hard to find? Is the change a net
improvement from past years?
FYI -
Clearly a number of people were purchasing the expo pass to attend the
presentations:
"I friend told me that the expo pass is cheaper, I think it’s $20, I don’t
know what it’s limitations are. The talks I saw today were fantastic, total"

Hi all,
As we have been trying to retire the previous thread on t-shirts on the
expo floor, I will start a new one.
My intent is to remove all of the old t-shirts from storage either this
weekend or next weekend. Before SCaLE 15x, there were 3 or 4 Gildan boxes
of t-shirts, some of which were A/V shirts. Does anyone know how many
boxes of SCaLE 15x shirts went into storage?
Lori and Matti would like to keep some shirts for volunteer recruitment and
or SCALE promotion, so I will set aside a …
[View More]large selection for them. I was
planning on keeping some for SGVLUG, in case people missed out on shirts or
wanted more shirts. I'm keeping all the A/V t-shirts as I like the design
and my current shirts have holes in them.
If anyone else would like shirts, you can email me offlist.
There is a donation drive for a women's shelter at work in a couple of
weeks, and I intend on donating a box or two there. If there are kid's
shirts, I will see if Ronald McDonald house will take them.
I hope that after all this, there will be no shirts left over and we can
start SCaLE 16x fresh.
Let me know if you have a problem with this plan. Any logistics can
probably be handled offline. I'm located in San Gabriel and pass through
Pasadena all the time.

How to enable better engagement with the different pro-open source people
and groups throughout the year?
Example of issue:
I will pitch people to engage in participating in SCaLE - and the person
may give me a business card asking me to remind them when the event is
"closer" ( time wise ), and or to tell them more about the event. As our
next event approaches I will quickly run short of spare cycles and thus
unable to fulfill such requests. I would like us to have something better
which will …
[View More]allow a better early and constant opportunity to increase
engagement opportunities.
Potential Solutions to assist:
1) Business Card sized "flyers" which gives the basics [ I plan to create
this, which we can all use ]
SCaLE
Inclusive Pitchline
Date of Next event
CFP deadline
website landing page
The idea is that it will be easy for each of us to carry a few around
should we ever need to pass out one to someone we are chatting with.
2) ... [ please feel free to assist in contributing ideas which may help ]
Thank You
Matti

To whom it may concern,
I feel truly happy when working and promoting the scale 15x. However I forgot my password and cannot reset it. It won't send the resend link to me.
I believe my email is jing.wang.2017(a)marshall.usc.edu
Sincerely,
Helen Wang
Hi...
If the name badge part of the print out could take up 2 adjacent regions so it could be folded in half and the name could be seen from both sides it would solve the problem of 50% of the people wearing badges that show as blank white cards (the back of the name card). It is nice to be able to speak to people by their names, but half the time it isn't possible (unless you already know them... but maybe you haven't seem them for a while and can't remember their names?). If this is done, …
[View More]the fold should be on the lower edge of the badge for easy insertion into the badge holder.

I appreciate the recent discussion about SCaLE's mission as a nonprofit.
Ever since I found out a couple of years ago that the Southern California
Linux Expo is part of Amazon Smile, I've had it set as my charitable
organization of choice. I'm curious how much SCaLE gets from that program.
Since it's painless and doesn't cost anything personally, I think it's
worth promoting to people who aren't aware of it, or who don't already have
a charitable organization they're championing. Even if …
[View More]it's not SCaLE,
there may be some other FOSS organization who could benefit from awareness
of the Amazon Smile program.
I was reading Kids on Computers' website and appreciated how clear they are
about their donations and how they are used.
http://www.kidsoncomputers.org/get-involved/donate
Since Ron is working on the new website, a suggestion I would have is to
have a similar donations page like this to show how individuals can
passively or actively donate to SCaLE beyond our volunteer labor.
