Libre artists rejoice! SCALE is proud to announce at special one-day libre graphics track at the 16th Annual Southern California Linux Expo – SCALE 16X. The annual conference will be held on March 8-11, 2018 at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, California, near Los Angeles.
For the last two years, we have had a HAM presence at SCALE, and this year, we are taking it a notch higher. Introducing a HAM themed track! Our first speaker is Ben Kuo and he's going to talk about 'How Social Media, The Internet, and Ham Radio Saved The Day After Hurricane Maria In Dominica'.
We'll also have our special event call sign (N6S) active during the event, and a couple of HAM radio booths as well.

Electronic badges are the "in thing" these days and some of the more elegant ones garner a lot of attention. Last Defcon, some of the most sought after badges were the Mr. Robot badge and the Darknet badge. We are happy to announce that the creators of both these badges will be at SCALE presenting their creations, and the process of design. Who knows, we might even get a preview of the next badge!
DC Darknet will also be running a game at SCALE and offer a completely different badge for sale at their booth.

Q: Could you please introduce yourself and tell us a little about your background?
A: Hi! I'm Marek Vasut and I work as a contractor for some years already, mostly for DENX S.E. GmbH in Germany. I do U-Boot/Linux/OpenEmbeeded work for living and I actively participate in those projects even outside of my work. I play around with FPGAs in my free time a lot, but it's nothing big and professional :) I'd love to talk about any of these things to whoever is interested, so please do come and talk to me anytime!
