Join the SCALE 15x conference attendees for an hour of Ignite-style lightning talks. UpSCALE, in partnership withOpenSource.com, is where speakers get 5 minutes to enlighten the audience. Slides will auto-advance and you get to sit back and listen to a brief stories about open source topics.
The UpSCALE talks will take place tomorrow, Saturday March 4th at 8:00 pm in Ballroom DE.
Q: Could you please introduce yourself and tell us a little about your background?
A: Hello! My name is Nina and I've been working at Procore Technologies for three and a half years. I'm a senior site reliability engineer, and I help manage the performance, scalability, and reliability of our many services and applications. I also enjoy mentoring engineering college students through programs at universities like UC Santa Barbara. I'm really interested in networking and security, and I'm currently taking the OSCP certification course.

In recent years the SCaLE program has grown to include an increasing amount of security related content including presentations, tutorials, and our long running PGP keysigning party. This year we are again growing to include a hacking competition target during the conference which aims to test the security skills of the participants in a live setting.
People of SCALE, have I got some rocking news for you.
For the last few years the Bad Voltage team (a podcast all about technology, open source, Linux, and anything else we think is fun), have delivered a live show at SCALE. This has always been a great time, but this year, well, it is time to turn up the volume with an incredible party sponsored by our friends at Ticketmaster and Linode.
With Scale 15x less than a month away, final touches are being made to the schedule including Sunday’s keynote. The SCALE team is excited to announce that the Sunday keynote speaker will be Karen Sandler, who will deliver In the Scheme of Things, How Important is Software Freedom?
Linux is a robust and secure operating system with a rich array of applications. The Southern California Linux Expo is once again providing those who want to start using Linux an opportunity to learn how. SCALE will provide an Installfest basic system administration class on Saturday, March 4th, 2017. The class will be held again on Sunday March 5th.
Training will be provided by the Linux Foundation's professional trainers, assisted by skilled SCALE volunteers.
It's time. Yes people if you have a 5-minute talk about an open source topic ready to share, then a submission to UpSCALE, in partnership with Opensource.com, is something you should consider over the new few weeks. Submit your lightning talk proposal before February 12 for a chance of glory on the upSCALE main stage.
Though it may not be the most appealing of metaphors, the rhetorical early bird does end up with the proverbial worm.
