Our friends Scott & Al at the Olsen Group are doing sales trainings hosted by the Beaverton Chamber, free for members, $5 for attendees. Twice a month on Wednesday mornings for the next 3 months.
http://www.beaverton.org/chamber/contact_us/index.html
They're early in the morning (7:30 am), but if you need a jumpstart on sales skills/efforts, it can't hurt. We will take the MAX up together, if you'd like to join us, meet at Old Town NedSpace (117 NW 5th) at 6:40 am. We'll take the 6:53 am Blue Line MAX.
http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=117+NW+5th+Ave,+Portland,+OR+97209&daddr=12655+SW+Center+Street,+Suite+140+Beaverton,+Oregon+97005&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&dirflg=r&date=10%2F07%2F09&time=7:30am&ttype=arr&noexp=0&noal=0&sort=&tline=&sll=45.501534,-122.728271&sspn=0.108043,0.215263&ie=UTF8&ll=45.502016,-122.752647&spn=0.108042,0.215263&z=12&start=0
We'll have sales-entrenched conversations both on the MAX ride there and back as well, so if you need some creative inspiration on all things revenue, please feel free to come along. |

This month's topic: TBD
----------
PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then Q&A, discussion, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)
Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't *have* to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up!
Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, at a location determined ad hoc (lately, the Market Street Pub at 10th and Market: http://mcmenamins.com/index.php?loc=24 ).

This month's topic: The Latest in JavaFX
Josh will catch us up on the latest JavaFX release, 1.2, which includes lots of improvements to make JavaFX better for real world apps (speed, more controls, charts and graphs). Josh will also give us a sneak preview of features coming in future versions of JavaFX, along with some great demo apps.
----------
Speaker: Joshua Marinacci
Joshua Marinacci first tried Java in 1995 at the request of his favorite TA and never looked back. He has spent the last ten years writing Java user interfaces for wireless, web, and desktop platforms. After tiring of web programming with several large companies in the Atlanta area he joined Sun to work on Java user interfaces full-time, first on the Swing team, then NetBeans, and now on the JavaFX tools team. Joshua recently co-authored O'Reilly's Swing Hacks with Chris Adamson. He also contributes to SwingLabs and writes regularly for Java.net. Joshua holds a BS in Computer Science from Georgia Tech and recently moved to Eugene, Oregon to be with his new wife.

It's about time we finally try to get people together to talk Scala, so we've decided to have an informal gathering at the Lucky Lab on Wednesday (Nov 18th) at 7PM. This will be a good opportunity to meet others who are interested in Scala and get a sense for what others might be using it for. Feel free to show up even if you're just casually dipping your toes in the
water. |

TechAmerica - Protecting Your Markets from Unlawful Forgein Competitors
Roll back
description |
About the Event:
In challenging economic times and as competition grows fiercer, many companies find that enforcement of their intellectual property rights is critical to their success. Knock-off products, often from companies outside the United States, eat into sales. But defending your intellectual property is not inexpensive. Three of Portlandâs leading companies will tell you how they defend their domestic and foreign markets quickly, efficiently, and inexpensively, and how to make these strategies work on any scale.
What will you learn?
- How to diversify your IP portfolio to put your company in the best position to defend your markets
- How to use the laws of foreign jurisdictions to stop infringing products where they are manufactured
- How to use the fastest, most cost-effective IP enforcement actions available
Panelists:

About the Event:
In challenging economic times and as competition grows fiercer, many companies find that enforcement of their intellectual property rights is critical to their success. Knock-off products, often from companies outside the United States, eat into sales. But defending your intellectual property is not inexpensive. Three of Portland’s leading companies will tell you how they defend their domestic and foreign markets quickly, efficiently, and inexpensively, and how to make these strategies work on any scale.
What will you learn?
- How to diversify your IP portfolio to put your company in the best position to defend your markets
- How to use the laws of foreign jurisdictions to stop infringing products where they are manufactured
- How to use the fastest, most cost-effective IP enforcement actions available

Employee Compensation - What Companies are Planning for in 2010
Roll back
description |
The economic downturn has caused companies to deploy cost-saving strategies such as pay freezes, pay decreases, layoffs, forced vacations and reduced benefits amongst other initiatives. As companies recover from this downturn, many HR professionals are determining how best to address compensation needs given that introducing costs back into the business will be slower than expected while ensuring employee retention and engagement.
Please join us at this networking event to:
- Learn what high-tech employers in Portland have implemented regarding austerity measures, and are planning to do with merit awards and compensation next year
- Discuss how employers can effectively modify the total rewards package to help the company to survive during the economic downturn
- Gain awareness of legal and compliance issues employers may face in modifying compensation plans
- Obtain tips and guidelines on constructing a proposal to your company about compensation and incentive plans in the coming year
Panelists:
- Bill Erdle, President, William J. Erdle Compensation Consulting, LLC
- Bryan Fix, Head of Human Resources, SolarWorld USA
- Kirsten Solomon, Director of Compensation and Benefits, FLIR Systems
Moderator:
Paul M. Ostroff, Shareholder, Lane Powell PC

PDXPHP - Lightning Talks

description |
Trying a different format this month: <strong>Lightning talks</strong>.
I saw it work well at the Python meeting this month so I thought we would give it a try.
We will have 2 to 4 10-20 minute slots. The format is informal, It is completely acceptable to take a slot and discuss 'this cool PHP thing you found'
So far we have:
<ul>
<li>1: Lise to talk about their experience with the ZCE Test. Why you
should take it, where you take it, how to pass.</li>
<li>2: SamKeen to intro Doctrine: PHP Object Relational Mapper</li>
<li>3: Cularis, Inc. will talk about their new project: <a href="http://www.shopigniter.com/">shopIgniter</a></li>
<li>4: Open</li>
</ul>
