news 28 Posted January 19, 2016 The SCALE Team is wrapping up preparations for this year's event -- SCALE 14X will start on Thursday and run through Sunday -- and over the next couple of days, we'll be posting email updates on what to expect this week. Without further adieu, let's take a look at some of the "shows within the show," starting with BAD VOLTAGE LIVE: Join the Bad Voltage team for an entertaining live show with surprises, free beer, prizes (such as a Mycroft AI), and plenty of audience participation, on Friday at 8 p.m. This must-see live event brings the team together to tape a live show in front of a live audience. The usual irreverent Bad Voltage style will be in full form with discussion and debate about Linux and Open Source, complete with plenty of surprises, competitions, contests, and give-aways. Although this is at the SCALE14x conference, the show is open to everyone (but you should go to SCALE!). There will be beer. Use code BVOLT for a special Bad Voltage discount.

But with great fanfare, FOSS raconteur Bryan Lunduke will bring his annual "Linux Sucks" presentation -- complete with film crew and streaming for those who cannot make it here to Pasadena -- at SCALE 14X on Thursday at 8 p.m. He has a book out as well -- so read the book and see the movie. Then compare and contrast.

We'll be posting the schedule on our social media, so you won't miss a moment of the action. The 14th Annual Southern California Linux Expo -- SCALE 14X -- will be held Jan. 21-24 at the Pasadena Convention Center.
