The coolest booth award -- and most genius donation method -- goes to NUCC (National Upcycled Computing Collective).

They took this soda machine and transformed it into a massive server from reclaimed and refurbished server racks. They even wrote a whole thing to do the transactions.

You stick dollar bills in, select which "flavor" you want, and it pops out a shell for you to access all weekend from the show.

(You can check out their projects at https://www.nuccinc.org/)

By the way, I just realized this is called a "Shell On Demand Appliance" or... S.O.D.A. Machine!

Brilliant.

@bcon @vwbusguy It was awesome meeting you both! Thanks for taking the time to travel to SCaLE and share your enthusiasm with Linux community.

This was my first SCaLE, but I'll definitely be back because of people like you. It has kind of a family reunion vibe to it, yea?

Rock on!

The stunning reward at the end of this morning's Eaton Canyon hike with @linuxflower and the @thunderbird crew. Including very special guest @gloriouseggroll!

16 ice-cold stream crossings to get here, by the way! It was epic, and I enjoyed this adventure -- and the company -- very much.

AWESOME start to SCaLE.

I'm headed to Pasadena today for . Who am I seeing this weekend?

I'll be hanging out with the @thunderbird community team at Booth 215. Come say hi and grab a sticker!

@becomingwisest @thunderbird cool see ya then!

@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@medus @thunderbird it’s awesome that you noticed! Thanks for sharing.

The team has grown considerably and a ton of work is going into modernizing Thunderbird and removing a lot of the technical debt from the past two decades.

@majors safe travels.

And on this day, I begin my adventure!

killyourfm,
@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@zardozWrex Thanks for asking! Might be a little ambitious for my first outing, but:
Basil, oregano, cilantro, mint, Stevia (my mom and aunt use it daily so it’s time to save them a ton of money), garlic chives, bell peppers, Roma tomatoes, centennial sweet potatoes, butter leaf lettuce, yellow onions…and some Nasturtium for the borders, which I’m hoping will attract the pests away from the good stuff!

(WIDE OPEN to any and all advice, by the way)

killyourfm,
@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@TheresaReason Count on it, and thank you!

@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@Ertain I sure hope so! I’ve had good luck inside, so it’s time to take the game outside!

@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@Engelsbaeckerei I was NOT expecting so many helpful gardeners to come out of the woodwork with such great tips and encouragement. Thank you for these, I appreciate it!

killyourfm,
@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@zardozWrex I hadn’t even considered that approach to watering. Super helpful tip, thank you!

killyourfm,
@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@zardozWrex Do you think growing a pepper or two would help in the same capacity? (Especially to deter squirrels).

killyourfm,
@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@zardozWrex Yea, I am really curious of the scent would deter squirrels from the entire area, but that’s probably wishful thinking!

It's SCaLE21x week! We're dragging out our suitcases and making our packing lists - can't forget the stickers! We'll be at Booth 215 Friday through Sunday, and we hope you come visit us. It's our first year at SCaLE and we can hardly wait. 🐧 🌴

And in a completely, totally, honestly unrelated question, we've been thinking about the kinds of Easter Eggs you can't eat. What are YOUR favorite hidden surprises? Any media counts! 🐣 😉

@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@thunderbird Gimme those rainbow and holo stickers 💙

One of my favorite easter eggs has always been hidden tracks on an album.

I haven't talked much about my day job, but now feels like the right time since I recently moved away from management back into a content + community-driven role at @thunderbird.

As successful as the Thunderbird project is, there's a lot of room for us to improve our community engagement, whether that's creating a more welcoming environment for new contributors OR just being a fun "third place" for our users.

What do YOU think is missing right now? What can we do better? 👂

@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@justin @thunderbird We have a BUNCH of them, but I’m guessing you’re looking for something a little less technical and little more “general chat?”

@justin @thunderbird Yep, I know! I have a to-do list 5 miles long.

maybe you don't need a dog, but maybe a dog needs you.

@TheresaReason I appreciate that way of thinking about it. But seriously… if someone says they don’t need a dog, they’re lying 😂
