Portland JavaScript Admirers' Monthly Meeting
Roll back
| description |
The monthly meeting of Portland's first JavaScript and ECMAscript users' group. We host presentations and discussions on everything JavaScript-related - including JavaScript frameworks, node.js, CoffeeScript, and whatever else comes up.
This will be a lightning talk meeting! I encourage everyone to give a short presentation - five minutes or less - especially if you have not presented at pdxjs before. The talk can be on anything you want.
Pick a topic and make some slides, if you want to use slides. A five minute talk works well with ten or fewer slides, which gives you 30 seconds per slide. Add your name and a link to your slides (if any) to the <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsEHtxZZUtqidExwNnN4U3FCb0QzN3FLbkJEQWcySmc&usp=sharing">signup sheet</a>.
An addition, Kyle Drake will be presenting on <a href="http://coinpunk.org">Coinpunk</a>, the future of browser cryptography, why he thinks server-side encryption and password hashing is going away, and how to use HTML5/JS/Node to develop secure applications for Bitcoin, a technology Rickard Falkvinge called "the Napster of banking".
Feel free to join our mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/pdxjs if you too are a JavaScript admirer.
If you're interested in making a presentation at this or at a future meet-up, please e-mail [email protected]. |

Python Hack Night **TIME AND LOCATION CHANGE**

| description |
Urban Airship had a conflict with their event space on the day of our hack night this month, so we're joining up with the PDX.rb crew over at CrowdCompass on SE 11th at Division.
Please note, their event starts at 7pm instead of our usual 6:30, so grab a bite to eat and saunter over at 7pm. There are some great places to hang out for an hour at 11th and Division so hopefully it'll work out well.
----
Let's get together and build cool stuff.
Bring your computer and your Python projects and come hack with us from 6-9pm on fourth Tuesdays!
Never written Python before? No problem. There will be Pythonistas at the ready to mentor beginners. Anyone at any level of Python experience is welcome and invited to join us! |

Gimme Shelter!
Roll back
| description |
When:
Competition begins 6pm Friday, September 20th, and ends at 6pm, Sunday, September 22nd, followed by an awards ceremony and after party.
Challenge:
Design, source, and build the most comfortable, good looking, easy to build, and sustainable micro-home you possibly can in a single weekend, spending no more than the equivalent of a single month's rent.
Guidelines:
-For fairness, we recommend teams of no less than 3 and no more than 7 team members. You may have unlimited active supporters, and are encouraged to get as many people following and supporting your as team as possible, as this will help you instantly source materials, tools, and skills, and problem-solve in realtime.
-Teams may build onsite or off. They must have their completed houses at Green Anchors by the time the competion ends at 6pm, Sunday, September 22nd.
-The goal is to create an open-source micro home design that can be build for the equivalent of one month's rent. Therefore, meets can spend $0 using found materials, but teams cannot spend more than $500 on materials. You should keep a record of everything you buy, and everything you get for free.
-Every team must have someone filling the roles of photographer and blogger and social media expert. This can be the same person, or many people. The purpose of this rule is so the people supporting the teams can be kept up to date as the project progresses in realtime, with blog posts, Facebook posts, and tweets. This also helps to create a very well-documented record of how you built your house- so that other people can do the same. It's much easier to document a project while it's happening than to try to explain how you did it later.
-You may assemble materials and brainstorm designs before the event, but please don't start building! It won't be very much fun to watch if you already have a house built!
Scoring Criteria:
Cost
-Actual cost to build
-Cost to replicate with new materials
-Embodied energy cost/ sustainability of materials
Replicabilty
-Detail of documentation
-Ease of building
-Availability of materials
Style
-Flow
-Comfort
-Looks
Functionality
-How does it fair in the waterproof test (this should be funâ¦)
-How many human needs, besides shelter, does it meet?
-Does it have a kitchen?
-Electricity?
-Toilet?
-Shower?
Prizes:
Teams should compete for the fun of it. However, we will reach out to local businesses, particularly restaurants, bars, and coffee shops, for free perks like rounds of beers, coffee, and free meals. This is also an opportunity for crowdsourcing, and anyone is free to throw a non-monetary gift or perk into the prize pot.
Awards:
In addition to the grand prize, which will go to the team with the highest cumulative score, there will also be awards in each sub category with their own prizes, and a bunch of silly, made up awards to keep it fun.
Award Ceremony and After-Party
At 6pm on Sunday, there will be an after party. Entry to this event will be sliding scale, from $5 to $1,000,000, with 100% of the proceeds going build more tiny houses, following the winning design. |

Portland JavaScript Admirers' Monthly Meeting
Roll back
| description |
The monthly meeting of Portland's first JavaScript and ECMAscript users' group. We host presentations and discussions on everything JavaScript-related - including JavaScript frameworks, node.js, CoffeeScript, and whatever else comes up.
Feel free to join our mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/pdxjs if you too are a JavaScript admirer. Or visit our web site for more information at http://pdxjs.com/.
If you're interested in making a presentation at this or at a future meet-up, please e-mail [email protected].
Kyle Drake will be presenting on Coinpunk (http://coinpunk.org), the future of browser cryptography, why he thinks server-side encryption and password hashing is going away, and how to use HTML5/JS to develop secure applications for Bitcoin, a technology Rickard Falkvinge called "the Napster of banking". |

Your Path Through Agile Fluency: Making Agile Work for You

Your Path Through Agile Fluency: Making Agile Work for You<br>Presented by Diana Larsen and James Shore
Networking with complimentary hors d'oeuvres at 5:30pm<br>
Presentation at 6:30pm
Abstract:
The promise of Agile is simple and compelling: a team that effortlessly surfs the wave of business possibility, changing direction to meet the needs of a changing market. Transitioning to Agile confers many benefits to an organization, but all too often teams donât (or canât) deliver on the promise. Too few teams achieve the ideal.
Diana Larsen and Jim Shore developed a model of the ways agile teams deliver value. This model describes four conditions of Agile fluency, what you can expect from each condition, and how to increase your teamâs fluency, so you can achieve what Agile promises.
Diana and Jim will demonstrate how the organizationâs desire for benefits and willingness to invest make the real difference. From creating value, to delivering, optimizing, and beyond, you will learn the practices, techniques, and change necessary as teams stretch their understanding of Agile and achieve new levels of excellence. This talk is based on the ideas behind the article at www.agilefluency.com.

Your Path Through Agile Fluency: Making Agile Work for You<br>Presented by Diana Larsen and James Shore
Networking with complimentary hors d'oeuvres at 5:30pm<br>
Presentation at 6:30pm
Abstract:
The promise of Agile is simple and compelling: a team that effortlessly surfs the wave of business possibility, changing direction to meet the needs of a changing market. Transitioning to Agile confers many benefits to an organization, but all too often teams donât (or canât) deliver on the promise. Too few teams achieve the ideal.
Diana Larsen and Jim Shore developed a model of the ways agile teams deliver value. This model describes four conditions of Agile fluency, what you can expect from each condition, and how to increase your teamâs fluency, so you can achieve what Agile promises.
Diana and Jim will demonstrate how the organizationâs desire for benefits and willingness to invest make the real difference. From creating value, to delivering, optimizing, and beyond, you will learn the practices, techniques, and change necessary as teams stretch their understanding of Agile and achieve new levels of excellence. This talk is based on the ideas behind the article at www.agilefluency.com.

Grand Opening for Flux: A feminist hackerspace in PDX
Roll back
| description |
What's a feminist hackerspace? Why does Portland need one? Where can I go to work on my projects? Can I solder and paint and build stuff at Flux? Come to the grand opening of Flux and find out the answers to all of these questions! Maybe you'll meet a cute person and solve a major world problem together via craft and science!
Don't identify as a hacker? No worries, Flux is a place to get stuff done from collaging to soldering. We've got room for you!
Flux â a new hackerspace in Portland â is the work of a small group of artists and hackers. We found ourselves frustrated with the difficulty of finding welcoming, affordable space for hardware workshops in Portland, OR. Itâs easy to talk software at a bar-- but you canât very well solder arduino boards over brewskies! Also, as members of âtraditionally underrepresented populations,â we found that existing meetups and maker spaces just didnât represent us or cater to our needs. Where are the women, the people of color, the queer folk, the blue collar workers? Where are our trusted allies?
The technology world is often a binder full of testosterone. Weâre tired of the exclusivity that pervades tech culture in this town-- so weâre taking action! Flux aims to create a new culture of artists, makers, benders and breakers in Portland, OR.
Our workshop is filled with people and tools to help members navigate the technical and emotional hurdles of finishing their dream projects. As an all-volunteer group, FLUX prides itself on maintaining an explicitly feminist space. We strive to make technology inclusive for people of all backgrounds and technical abilities. To that end, we welcome makers of all genders, orientations, and ethnic and cultural heritages.

Mathmusician Robby Kraft and artist and synesthete NÃm Wunnan team up to explore the concepts and relationships behind this analogy. Kraft will abstract musical shapes from representative works and illustrate the way these shapes evolved and changed as they were assimilated by the next generation. Wunnan will describe (and paint) the same structures through the lense of his grapheme > color and visual > audio synesthesia. Together the two interpretations of the musical structures will support a dialogue about the nature of tranlsation and what matters in music and art. |
