LinkedIn Tech Talk: Going from SCALA to scale
LinkedIn has been sponsoring internal tech talks with high-tech luminaries for a while now. We’ve discussed opening it up to external software engineers and we’re pleased to kick this off with a panel discussion that I’ll be moderating next week, June 5, in Mountain View. Food will be served. So, just bring yourselves and friends interested in learning and networking.
We will not only have the creator of SCALA, Martin Odersky, here in person but we also have representatives of the most scaled SCALA implementation, which would include Nick Kallen of Twitter and David Pollak of the LIFT web framework.
Given below are further details of the panel and how you can sign up for it.
Panel topic: LinkedIn Tech Talk Series – Going from SCALA to scale!
Date / Time: June 5 (Friday) / noon in Mountain View
Moderated by
Arnold Goldberg – VP, Platform Engineering at LinkedIn
Panelists include…
Martin Odersky – Creator of SCALA / Professor at EPFL
Nick Kallen – Systems Architect at Twitter
David Pollak – Team lead for the LIFT Web Framework
Sign up for the June 5th Tech Talk here
Fill out the form (link above) with just your (a) linkedin profile and (b) email address. We’d love to open this up to everyone interested, but unfortunately we have only limited seating for the first 100 sign-ups. The last time we put together a similar event we had over 200 RSVPs in a few hours, so please be sure to sign up at the earliest.
Once we hit the limit, we’ll be sending you an email confirmation with details on location. Look forward to seeing you at the event. Questions? Leave a comment.

Echoing Channing’s comment above: I would *dearly* love to see this — I’m doing active Scala development — but I’m at the wrong end of the country. An online video of the panel would be enormously valuable…

Hi Arnold, I am doing some investigation into whether we should set up some LinkedIn groups for our business.
Do you have any good posts or whitepapers, or any you can point me to, that talks about pros and cons of setting up work related groups on LinkedIn?
Hope you can help.
Daniel
