^LX7QP2: Could the presentation of this info be improved? (more)

the Subject=
1. the lastMod_version_status=pst2012.01.21Sat0934 6.2 released
2. the title=our Meetup.com groups’ visit to SCALE10x http://1.JotHere.com/LX26CM
3. ^LX26NU: “SCALE10x” is the official abbreviation for “10th annual Southern CAlifornia Linux Expo“.
  1. ^LXTXOE: –a “fantastic event .. a convention of all things open source that keeps growing in size every year“ –says William
  2. ^LY1L5X: –a “community organized event” “celebrating its tenth year”, the largest-by-far open source software conference in Southern California IMHO, with “over 100 seminars and presentation sessions, and an exhibit hall where non-profit and commercial organizations will demonstrate the latest developments in the open-source and free software realm” (quotes from official home page)
  3. ^LY5SLY: The SCALE Wikipedia page now gives its history and says it’s “one of five community run Open-source software events in the United States, as of Spring 2011. It attempts to maintain a balance between commercial and non-profit organizations.”
  4. ^LX7R55: The conference would be better titled say “10th annual Southern CAlifornia Free Software and Open-Source Conference=SCAFSOSC10” (changes in italics).
4. ^LX27A0: “our Meetup.com groups” are OC-PHP, OCDrupal, OCAndroid, OC iOS, Ubuntu Hour (of Lake Forest), and ideally more (indeed any Meetup groups which refers to this article for the details).
.

the Details=

^LX2X6S: When: pst2012.01.20Fri09 00-.22Sat1730
^LX23GM: Where: a hotel by LAX, Los Angeles, CA 90045

^LX2WUA: Our Last Visit:

our Meetup groups’ visit to SCALE9x (on 2011. 011.02.25(Fri)0900-27(Sun)1600)
1. ^LX2X4T: Great conference, better than I expected, definitely would go again & for more!
2. ^LX2X56: Seemed ~500 people attended and were all having a great time!
.
^LX24VH: OC-PHP+OC-Drupal+OC Android will be running a booth at the conference, staffed by our members, to promote our groups!
.
^LX5KZY: Especially if you’re going, please RSVP & post those details to help everyone:
1. ^LX5MDI: What?
  1. ^LX5MFW: RSVP to our Meetup event listings (see below table) for all groups you belong to, and
  2. ^LX5MIS: As you figure out your attendance plans in more detail, post those details! In particular, tell us:
    1. ^LX27HG: What hour range max you can be there,

    3. LX5MPT=Other relevant details (as carpools or rooms that you know of looking for more people)
  3. ^LX5LNZ: Just RSVP now with what you know now (such as what days you can be there, and for what hours) and post more (as what events you’ll be attending) as you determine that.

3. ^LX5L7N: Where (to post these details)? ^LX5LVY: Are you RSVPing YES to multipleevent listings for the same thing (such as when you belong to more than one Meetup group which lists this event)?
  1. ^LX5LZV: If YES, post on this article as comment(s) below (ideally create a free login).
  2. ^LX5M1M:If NO, does your public RSVP comment give you enough room for these details?
    1. ^LX5M2N: If YES, post there (on your public RSVP comment): the “hour range max you can be there” should fit no problem here.
    2. ^LX5M33: If NO, post as comment(s) on the event listing.
.
^LX23ON: As with all our events, follow Etiquette & Things-To-Know when RSVPing to any Meetup Event LEVV22;
1. ^LX5N5V: for your convenience, the most important details of this which are relevant to this event we’ve tried to already cover above.
.
^LX24U3: Official URL: SoCalLinuxExpo.Org/scale10x including schedule –read this!

LXIDIU=Scroll (horizontally=left or right) by selecting text range going left or right.

^LX37AZ: Hours & Why go & Event listings –per day & per group

	^LX37MK:	^LX39T4:	^LX37DA:	^LX37DT:	^LX37JZ:	^LX3C5R:	^LX623L:
^LX37H6:		Hours	OC Android	OC-PHP	OCDrupal	OCiOS	Ubuntu Hour of Lake Forest
^LX37N2:	Why go (besides being local)	–	open-source-mostly programmers	open-source-mostly programmers	open-source CMS developers	closest is open-source-mostly programmers	Ubuntu is seeming the leading Linux distribution
^LX37O6:	Day 1=Friday	0900-~2100	http://meetu.ps/6lpws	not yet; held-up	not yet; held-up	http://meetu.ps/6MmvK group head Linus may have limited interest	44528412
^LX37P8:	Day 2=Saturday	1000-~1900	http://meetu.ps/6lZWP	ditto	ditto	http://meetu.ps/6MnNg	44528392
^LX37Q9:	Day 3=Sunday	1000-~1730	http://meetu.ps/6m3hC	ditto	ditto	http://meetu.ps/6Mpyg	44528402
^LX38WI:	Discussion thread	–	here	ditto	ditto	use event comments	ditto
^LX3C1K:	Last time	–	here	here	none	here	TBA

^LX5X4W: Instead of depending on the Meetup group heads to do this, we need you members to

become event leaders! –for special conferences related to the group topic (such as this conference) or for this conference every time it occurs) –volunteer or nominate someone!
1. ^LX5XDQ: Just post that as comments on this article else on the event listing.
2. ^LX5XE0: Before you begin the job, read its _ track leader requirements & responsibilities (at least for OC Android).
.
^LX5HIT: Other Meetup groups & similar community groups can super-easily list & advertise this conference as well

–as I’ve designed the (above) Discussion Thread and 3 event listings of OC Android as easy template for such!, with instructions below.
1. ^LX5IDJ: By building on what’s already built here, another group can well-list this conference easily & just-minutes and with very minimal text that needs posting & updating, as most all the work I’ve already done for here and made easily-sharable.
2. ^LX5I3R:a organizer-else member need only copy-them exactly then, in the respective places within their group, create 1 new discussion thread and 3 new event listings respectively, and
  1. ^LX5IOZ: Be sure to copy the content with all its formatting including links, bolding, & sizing & coloring; this is trivial if you follow instructions below.
  2. ^LX5I8I:For the discussion thread,
    1. ^LX5IN0: the only thing which needs to be copied is the 1st paragraph of the 1st post.
    2. ^LX5IN8: To properly copy the content, if you’re a member, click “quote-in reply” to get BBCode else (it takes some skill: copy-and-paste the output and then manually rebuild the links & formatting).
  3. ^LX5IV1:For each event listing,
    1. ^LX5I76: you must also set to match things that don’t copy, including that it repeats annually on the 2nd Friday/Saturday/Sunday respectively.
    2. ^LX5IVC: Copy the displayed HTML text and paste into Meetup’s event listing description HTML editor in (standard=WYSIWYG) mode, then recreate the little remaining formatting not copied.
  4. ^LX5I69: In your copy, just appropriately update the links & dates & stuff (the text needing copied I’ve kept super short).
3. ^LX5IFC: When you’re finished, post a comment here linking to your discussion thread (and, if that doesn’t already link to them as it should, to your 3 event listings), and I will update this table (above) with your information!

the Comparison with Alternatives, from most to least similar=
1. ^LX5J6P: I’m not familiar with anything like this intermediate shared post for event listings to link to give them their details, plus the templating system it offers (for additional self-made listings), though it may exist.
2. ^LX5J75:I don’t know of any other conference like this in Southern California like this on this topic. The closest:
  1. ^LX5J8J: SoCalCodeCamp.com happens ~3x per year, has about 10 sessions running at all times, and about 1 of them is usually on open source stuff.
.
the Motivation=
1. ^LX263T: Why this post? I’m creating this OCAndroid 2011.01.20(Fri) event (see 1st version of archive) but see most text will be essentially be repeated by 3x for Fri-Sun, and that triple will then be potentially repeated on other Meetup groups, so I want to factor out all the common text to an article (this one) and just have the various instances link to it.
.
the Additional (DOCUMENT) History, in order =
1. LX2689= I (did not know of any JotHere article on this subject) so created this post http://2.loverules.info/631 by:
  1. copying ((last mod=2011.12.30(Fri)pst2031)(version=1.0)(status=1st draft 100% complete)
    (title=I _ converted & moved our conversation from private-messages to post(s) http://1.JotHere.com/LX1C9S))
  2. then set its ID to LX26CM which is a new ID
  3. then remove all that didn’t apply and correct the rest.
2. LX369V=Around right after LX2689, decide to remove from status the #s as “1st” in “1st draft” and “30%” in “30% complete, as this is implied by a version number as “1.3”.
3. (^LX28UY: regarding the header section (last mod thru where), rather than make it not part of outline, make it part of numbered main body outline.)
4. LX29DY=Make the where it’s own 1st section, to also to hold last mod thru the title.
5. LX30QW=starting ~10 hrs ago, cut the “()” when the list-item does the nesting.
6. ^LX30GH: take the title out of bold as it will already be featured by the WordPress theme: nah, worth bolding as it has key links.
7. LX30W0=For the major headings plus the title, drop the parens per LX30QW except first replacing the “(” with “the“.
  1. ^LX3141:Why?
    1. ^LX314O: The highlighted “(” looks ugly & asymmetrical.
    2. ^LX316I: If one copies the “(” to make a link, because it’s a 1-character link, in WordPress 3.2.1, one can’t edit the text without dropping into HTML.
    3. ^LX3192: In English, “the ” is what’s implied already and so what you would say if not being terse.
    4. ^LX31B9: “the” is what one would generally would start with if copying to make a link as “the title“
    5. ^LX372B: Putting “the” not “The” calls less attention to a secondary and repeated word and is per the growing convention to write text in lower-case.
    6. ^LX31H0: By doing “the ” and not “the_“, with default formatting it makes it much clearer that the next item is a separate link
      1. ^LX31T2: more important than, in WordPress 3.2.1, saving few characters typing when creating a copy that’s named say “the title” (which generally requires inserting between say “th” & “e”).
8. ^LX34MK: From LX30W0, “(where” becomes “the Where” and no longer makes sense
  1. ^LX34RN: reads awkward and as if it was referring to geographic “where” which is not the case.
  2. ^LX34US: consider “the Givens”. That makes sense, but “givens” is a much rarer & unexpected than “Subject”.
  3. ^LX34WF:consider “the Subject” -yes, but it’s a different meaning so needs its own ID
    1. ^LX35L9: Pro: familiar & expected.
    2. ^LX35MH: Pro: more than “where” or “givens”, logically includes (the items included in it per LX29DY =”last mod thru where“)
    3. ^LX35IO: create link “Subject, complete & context-free” -nice but wordy
      1. ^LX3631: “Complete” is important because in the most frequent use of the “Subject” field, email, it’s usually half-thought & incomplete & bad.
      2. ^LX364Z: “Context-free” is accurate but a complex & unfamiliar idea. “Complete” is enough to say “Hey, there’s something special going on here so pay attention here when that could be important”.
      3. ^LX3600: rename link to “Complete Subject“
    4. ^LX35VM: replace “Where” with “Complete Subject“
9. ^LX36KJ: Realize LX369V gives its own new meaning for status, so create new link “status” replacing the former.
10. ^LX3BM7: Re this line (q=(last mod=2011.12.31(Sat)pst1455)(version=1.4)(status=constructing actively))-also it’s present value.
  1. ^LX3CD8: Small con: ugly in that “(” is a link but “)” is not.
  2. ^LX3CEC:several (3) individual fields which are pretty much taken as a unit but still separate is
    1. ^LX3CGR: Con: Cluttered since each has to be enclosed in “()” and have its own “=”
    2. ^LX3CI7: Con: can’t use & be symmetric with the “the ” convention.
    3. ^LX3BPN: In copying this into OCAndroid day 1, was a pain the links to all 3 fields had to be rebuilt.
  3. ^LX3CKU: Conceive & consider a single field-variable “lastMod+version+status” –yes!
    1. ^LX3CPD: looks cluttered, so
    2. ^LX3D0J: consider lastMod,version,status but still looks cluttered so
    3. ^LX3D19: consider lastMod_version_status -yes!
  4. ^LX3D1W: Convert to this, so line now reads
    
    the lastMod_version_status=2011.12.31(Sat)pst1539 1.5 constructing actively
11. ^LX6X4E: In the prior version, changed official date format to say “pst2012.01.02Mo0228″
12. ^LX61JA: Cut the URL from the title pasted into the WordPress title field
13. ^LX7O8M: consider replacements for “Definition“
14. ^LX7VLT: Did these plans:
15. ^LX7VW2: renamed “Complete Subject” to “Subject“
.
the Additional Planned Changes, in order=
1. ^LX7W4D: none (other than global improvements on all docs, as mentioned here)
.

LX5VPP=Attention Meetup leaders especially mine (OCAndroid) (including most recently Bill Z. as we talked about this duringHack Night (7=last one)),
About this new event listing format:
1. LX5VR9=How do you like it, especially in contrast to the ones I’ve used recently, as for Hack Night 6? Note in contrast, This listing (for SCALE10x)
  1. LX5VXR=Uses a shared (JotHere) post for the listing details, instead of putting them on the event listing description
    1. LX5W32=Pretty essential for this case (since the event will be listed on several Meetup groups and spans a few says, but also quite useful for (events on one group but repeat, as Hack Night and many of our other tracks)
  2. LX5W5R=Indeed moves-to-the-shared-post all content which is NOT unique to this one listing (so would be repeated)
    1. LX5W9I=Including the list of other listings, so now one has to go to the shared post to find other listings (2 steps) but with the benefit of a much shorter & simpler listing
    2. LX5WB1=Except I’ve kept the discussion thread link, here “LX24SZ=discussion thread for all 3 days”, even though IN THIS CASE the same thread is used by all days of the ONE conference instance on THIS group site, as
      
      LX5WEW=usually the discussion thread would be unique to the 1 listing (this case is fairly rare)
      
      LX5WGN=taking an additional page load then search thru that page to find the event’s discussion thread would seem excessive work
      
      LX5WJH=The fact it’s the same within all listings (on our group) hasn’t been an update problem since it hasn’t needed to be updated.)
  3. LX5WL9=I’ve used a new cleaner format for the first status line, combining the 3 fields into one, as “lastMod_version_status=2011.01.01(Sun)pst1031 2.5 not yet Announce-emailed but please now comment & RSVP!”
  4. LX5X2I=Still not done here is to handle how the event listing evolves over each occurrence of the event (as each occurrence of this conference, or say Hack Night).
    1. LX5XQC=In this case (SCALE10x) I did that by starting a new post which was NOT a copy of the prior post (for SCALE9) but a fresh start (was a copy of another post using the later text format). This was kind of okay since this only does annually.
    2. LX5XTD=But for frequent events, as Hack Night which happens weekly and doesn’t change too much week-to-week but still does change (as leaders come & go, format evolves some), I’m thinking of doing this by using http://1.JotHere.com…‘s ability to version posts, along with say the WordPress plugin Revisionary which displays all prior versions to the public with date-stamping so would allow one to see what version was in effect when the event took place. More details of this to be worked out.
2. LX6WT6=Given no resonable objections, I’m going to start converting Meetup event listings I oversee, including OCAndroid, into this format.
3. LX5X1P=To create a new Meetup event using this new format (or any new format), just select a best (as recent) example of an event listing with the desired format and pick “Copy” then edit to suit.

^LXTX2T: Reposting the following email I got:

On Fri, Jan 13, 2012 at 8:34 AM, William Estrada wrote:
Hey Everyone,

You are receiving this email because you showed interest in helping out at our SCALE booth.

I have shared a Google Doc with you (http://bit.ly/xPfEv8). For those who did it last year this is the same doc but basically put the corresponding color next your name in any open boxes where you can help. If you can volunteer at least two hours that would be great. More would be good but solely up to you and not requested. Be sure to check the schedule.

Below is some information. Let me know if you have any other questions.

– William

SCHEDULING

When scheduling, be sure to check the SCALE10x presentation times so you can still watch any presentations you would like and give yourself the chance to walk the exhibition floor. I will only be there on Saturday. Sunday is usually a slower day for exhibitions so if we have more volunteers Saturday that is fine.

REGISTRATION

I will be sending a code to register for SCALE. This will give you access to all 3 days of the event. Its a $60-70 value. When you get the code, please do not share or use more than once.

PARKING

As being in proximity to LAX and in LA (http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x/hotel-and-venue), parking is around $9 to $16 for the day (if I recall correctly). You have the option to park at the Hilton which I heard last time which goes up to 6 floors underground and is tight spacing or park next door at the parking structure. The structure is in the higher price range.

DEMONSTRATIONS

We don’t have any demonstrations planned yet but you are welcome to demonstrate anything technical that you have done. We may have a monitor with a vga cable (that I can bring in Saturday). Its an older monitor. Although it would be nice, we will not have a projector.

WHAT WE DO

Basically, just answer any questions pertaining to any of the technologies you know. Promote the Orange County technology user groups. We had several swag last year that we don’t have this year. Swag helps attract passer bys for conversation so always nice to have. Nicer swag gives us a chance to tweet that we are giving them out. If your company has left over swag that can be donated let me know. I don’t care if it is self promotion for themselves and they can have any job posting placed on our table. If you have somewhat newer technical books that you have no need for, we have handed those out in the past too.

WHAT WE GET AT THE TABLE

We get one ethernet cable and an extension cord. Bringing small amount of snacks to share among volunteers is up to you.

^LXVVF9: My notable changes of the Google doc of (this=LXTX2T=William’s email “because you showed interest in helping out at our SCALE booth”)
1. ^LXVVMW: on ~2012.01.14Sat, done in order:
  1. ^LXVVGD: make the document publically readable
    1. ^LXVVHV: as it seems it contains no confidential info (the booth’s public after all) and many editors, including me, will be put off as far as figuring out how to log in to edit if they can’t even see what they’re logging into.
    2. ^LXTV1O: Do File->Publish to the Web for Sheet 1 & get this URL but that lacks an update link.
    3. ^LXTVMS: Change sharing from Private to “Anyone with the link”.
      
      ^LXTVVU: This gives link to share but the 1st one works fine.
      
      ^LXTVWA: Viewing in this mode gives more view possibilities including Download & view formats plus, when signed in, Tools -> Notification Rules (of changes) -quite cool. But doesn’t reveal the people it’s shared to (good).
  2. ^LXVVRB: Layout improvements
    1. The present layout pros & thru cons
      
      Nice start.
      
      a nice idea assigning everyone a color,
      
      gets confusing as to
      
      how to paste colors (I didn’t now how at first, and I’ve used spreadsheets for years) and
      
      where to paste colors (not clear who has what cell)
      
      that the person needs to select to bring resources both days, not just the 1st day.
      
      how to quickly look up who has what color
      
      problems if one is color blind or printing on black&white or runs out of obviously-different color choices.
      
      not obvious place if one wants to put notes in their cell if the goal is only that the cell only contains their colors.
    2. ^LXUT4W: Do an improved layout giving each person a column for that day (Sat & Sun), so each person having a color is no longer needed.
      
      ^LXVVZ6: thus also lays out the page into 2×2 (4 big rectangles)
      
      ^LXVW12: Tested the design on booth-volunteer Lucy and she figured it out immediately w/ no problem & no explanation.
  3. ^LXVW2N: based on (the login bugs mentioned in the prior comment) and other new details, update & write instructions for this at http://1.JotHere.com/LX26CM#LX5NGU.

^LXWO3N: RE http://bit.ly/xPfEv8
1. ^LXWP4E: starting at revision “Jan 15, 3:30 PM PT“
2. ^LXWP38: Per my design, works very well for writing entries as “0 as attending http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x/presentations/create-stunning-videos-openshot“: the answer, “0”, is displayed immediately and the rest of the (undisplayed) cell has arbitrary room for the reason and further details.
3. ^LXWP5N: Works very well as the value of 1 cell can replicate or extend another , avoiding duplication & further illustrating constraints.
4. ^LXWNLH: Time slots
  1. ^LXWNO0: are currently every hour from 0800 to 1700 (plus 1730-1800) but this doesn’t match http://socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x/schedule
  2. ^LXWO03: I set to start at the same start times of the Saturday sessions http://socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x/schedule , so one either attends the session and it’s break after for Qs & discussion about the session, or one staffs the booth.
    1. ^LXWO96: No significant secheduling has been done on this sheet yet so it’s easy for me to adjust the about 3 that are there.
    2. ^LXWO7L: Results in deletion of some slots, as 12:00am, 2:00pm, 5:00pm, but no problem due to LXWO96.
    3. ^LXWORT: Works well for Sat
  3. ^LXWOZG: For Sun it doesn’t work as well as Sun has a somewhat different schedule yet the current design uses exactly the same parameters for each day, doesn’t allow a day to overridden. Realize it’s more important to customize the events of the day rather than the people, suggesting a different layout: for each day (Sat & Sun), the events of each day repeated instead of the volunteers.
    1. ^LXWP8O: Plan to make this change soon. Paused at revision “Today, 11:26 AM PT“.

LY4CPM: RE http://bit.ly/xPfEv8

LY4CPR: In response to William making this unwarned deletion of this row, I posted into the talk panel

william.e. has opened the document.
me: Yes, field (email(s) semi-sensored LY2S4R) IS needed else I wouldn’t have added it: to know who these people are on the sharing list (who has access, some only have email addresses). You seem to forget, you’re not the only one bringing in people – I don’t know which email goes to the people you bring in and visa versa. Fortunately I caught this quick. If not, it would be royal pain to rebuild. One should kindly propose removing data before actually removing it;
william.estrada has opened the document.
william.estrada: Don’t get what you mean but whatever really. Thought you opened this form public. Doesn’t matter.
william.estrada has left.
me: Don’t get? It’s simple: put yourself in my shoes: Just as you probably wouldn’t know the people I add, I don’t know most of the people you add. So I look at the emails you shared the discount code to and shared this spreadsheet with and so I don’t match them with the names here. For instance, it’s not obvious Miguel has email address mig… as I don’t know him. Then it’s hard to get a big picture, and remember it looks like I will have to be overseeing the booth on Sunday since you won’t be there, and indeed anyone might need to oversee it and ask “Where’s my replacement”. But, yes, I did open this as public, that’s why I’ve made the usernames with “..” so we’re not revealing full addresses, just enough to make this small matchup internally; I recall Google Groups has this convention as well.

LY4CST: I notice the talk panel content doesn’t stick around (from the last time one opened it), so why I make the prior post here.
LY4GLS: Donna called & RSVPed YES for Sat & Sun & I just sent her this to make her booth schedule:

I’ve shared OC Meetup groups’ SCALE 2012

Message from LCD..t@LoveRules.Info:
Dear Donna at Pas..e@Gmail.com, Som..n@Hotmail.com ,
Thanks for RSVPing YES on http://www.meetup.com/OCAndroid/events/46102672/?a=socialmedia & http://www.meetup.com/OCAndroid/events/46109162/?a=socialmedia and being willing to help out at our booth to get in for free. So I’ve now given these email addresses edit access so you can pick your volunteer schedule. Open this link and see the instructions in the upper-left corner of this spreadsheet (currently in cell C2). Once I’ve seen you’ve scheduled yourself for at least 2 hours and/or bringing significant stuff, I’ll email you the code so you pay $0 when you go register.

Putting into production the new JotHere-style event post (description) template created on OCAndroid Day1
1. ^LY1LM4: I wanted to polish this more and make sure all the field names had good links, but since it’s just 1.1 days away and it should be listed on at least OC-PHP, there definitely no more time.
2. ^LY2154: a few hours ago, tried to list on OC-PHP & OC-Drupal but ran into & reported a roadblock.
3. ^LY1SMM: On OCiOS,
  1. ^LY1SNW: Create day 1, archived to LY1UFU(_HTML_only_Chrome).htm
  2. ^LY1V4J: Create day 2, archived to LY1W4M(_HTML_only_Chrome).htm

    ^LY2KQ2: Update: I canceled Thu as I no longer will need that nite. (^LY2KVI: Why? & Background, for those curious: I reserved the room today as I was planing to drop by the nearby & en-route Long Beach VA then stay at this motel. But I won’t be able to make the VA today before they close at ~4:30pm, so I’ll just drive direct to the conference in the early morning. If the VA opens early enough & the conf starts late enough, I’ll drop by the VA en-route. Else I’ll go to the VA on Monday right after the conference, that nite possibly car-camping :-).)
