Deconstructing Women in Technology: What is the data really telling us?
Roll back
| description |
Stop by Quick Left to see CEO of Consulting Ingrid Alongi give her wildly popular, data-driven talk - Deconstructing Women in Technology: What is the Data Really Telling Us? Ingrid's is passionate about creating an environment for our developers that harbors creativity and collaboration, and believe incorporating women on the team is a key element to what makes our company work so seamlessly.
In her opinion, there are 7 ways to promote a better performing team:
Make a commitment
Host team building events during business hours
Provide ample outlets for feedback to leadership team
Examine your hiring practices: from job posts to interviewing style
Examine your bonus and raise criteria - not everyone is good at asking
Having more women in leadership encourages more women in general
Your job is a place of business where adults work, but it can still be fun! If you would like to see the stats on women in technology, and reasons why females aren't coming up the pipeline, check out the slideshare from Ingrid's keynote at GlueCon. This is one of the talks that you can't miss during Portland Startup Week!
Plus we'll have Q afterwords and happy hour on Quick Left! |

WIT: Opportunity Knocks! How to Get into Tech Without an Engineering Degree
Roll back
| description |
“How do we get more women in tech?”
The tech industry provides stability and great opportunities for career advancement, so it’s an important question - and one being asked around the world. Companies like Intel and eBay are answering by launching initiatives to increase the number of female engineers in their workforces. Non-profits are responding by establishing programs that teach girls to code so they can grow up to be developers. Universities are contributing to the conversation by offering scholarships to young adult females who choose to pursue degrees in Computer Science.
While there’s no argument that all these solutions are valuable and will help further the cause, what about women who want to work in tech, but aren’t interested in coding? What options do they have? In an effort to provide answers to these questions, eBay Portland will be hosting a special WIT Startup Week event focused on looking beyond engineering roles for women in tech.
Five women from the local tech community will be talking about their individual jobs and sharing their experiences as non-technical women working in an industry that is predominantly focused on technical roles. Kirsten Golden, Program Manager at PIE, will be emceeing the event.
Presenters include:
Gina Hudson, Office Manager/Operations, eBay Portland
Heidi Tretheway, Director of Marketing Communications, Urban Airship
Susan Wheeler, Director of e-Discovery Services, Streamline Imaging
Grace Andrews, Co-Founder Business Development, GraphAlchemist
The WIT talk will conclude with a short Q, after which attendees are invited to stay for an hour of networking and have their resume critiqued by recruiters and HR representatives from eBay, Jama Software, Simple, Puppet Labs, Treehouse, and Tech Talent Link.
Date: Thursday, February 7th, 2015
Time: 4:30pm - 6:30pm, Doors open at 4pm
Location: eBay Community Lounge, 1400 SW 5th Avenue, 3rd Floor, Portland
This event is free and open to the tech community as well as the general public. If you’re working in tech, interested in working tech, or simply exploring career options, please RSVP now to join us!

“How do we get more women in tech?”
The tech industry provides stability and great opportunities for career advancement, so it’s an important question - and one being asked around the world. Companies like Intel and eBay are answering by launching initiatives to increase the number of female engineers in their workforces. Non-profits are responding by establishing programs that teach girls to code so they can grow up to be developers.

In an effort to provide answers to these questions, eBay Portland will be hosting a special WIT Startup Week event focused on looking beyond engineering roles for women in tech.
Five women from the local tech community will be talking about their individual jobs and sharing their experiences as non-technical women working in an industry that is predominantly focused on technical roles. Kirsten Golden, Program Manager at PIE, will be emceeing the event.
Presenters include:
Gina Hudson, Office Manager/Operations, eBay Portland
Heidi Tretheway, Director of Marketing Communications, Urban Airship
Susan Wheeler, Director of e-Discovery Services, Streamline Imaging
Grace Andrews, Co-Founder Business Development, GraphAlchemist
The WIT talk will conclude with a short Q, after which attendees are invited to stay for an hour of networking and have their resume critiqued by recruiters and HR representatives from eBay, Jama Software, Simple, Puppet Labs, Treehouse, and Tech Talent Link.

Portland ReactJS meetup
Roll back
| description |
###Greetings fellow Reagents!
We are looking forward to our first official ReactJS user group. Dave and Eric from Idealist.org will be sharing some interesting stuff (details below) with us, and we're hoping to have one additional talk. Please let us know if you're interested in speaking/presenting. We'd like to have at least a few lightning talks as well.
###Notes on the Design of Components (Dave McCabe)
Dave will discuss what idealist.org has learned about designing React components, specifically techniques for promoting simplicity, reuse, statelessness, and separation of concerns, and for dealing with asynchrony.
###Isomorphic Webpack Hot Module Replacement Boilerplate (Eric O'Connell)
- Do you want to serve fully-rendered HTML from your React application?
- Do you want near-instant feedback in your browser as soon as you edit your React components?
- How about CSS?
This talk will give the starting point for a very nice dev environment using the webpack Hot Module Replacement feature. It will include a (trivial) Express app that renders the entire React component hierarchy which will then be hydrated on the client. Variations shown will include serving API requests out of the same app, and shared client/server routing.
###TBD / Lightning talks
Get in touch with us if you'd like to share your experiences!

If you are new to our group, Welcome! If you would like to get more involved or hear what we're talking about, we'd like to invite you to [join our google group](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/portland-reactjs) to join the conversations or start a new one. Also, please take a look at our [code of conduct](https://github.com/portland-react-js/meetup/blob/master/code-of-conduct.md) which let's you know what we think "being excellent to each other" should look and feel like.

Get amped - Name.com does more than hosting. We're hosting our first Quick Left hackfest in Portland with them! And what better week than Portland Startup Week to do so!

Where is the power of wearables going? We're bringing it in hackfest form to Portland, OR! Register now for our hackfest Feb 4th and find out (or make it happen).
With the Quick Left wearable hackfest, we want take wearable data beyond the miles you pedal or calories burned. We want wearables to be useful in your daily life. According to technology research and advisory company Gartner, by 2020, developed world life expectancy will increase by 0.5 years due to widespread adoption of wireless health monitoring technology. Business leaders must examine the impact of increased wellness on insurance and employee costs as a competitive factor. Inspire innovation to affect this trend at our hackfest. If you've got ideas on what to do with health and exercise data (for humans, your pets or....), you'll want to get your hack on at Quick Left!
Wednesday, February 4th, doors open at 6pm, hacking begins at 6:30
Free beer and food provided by our awesome sponsors
Teams formed night of
Hack for 3 hrs (no previous feature design or code written, please)
Winners will be chosen by our sponsors (hint, hint)
Thanks to our sponsor, Sparkfun, for supplying Lily Pad Design Kits. And Fitbit is giving away a Fitbit Flex wristband to the winning team and more sponsors to be announced shortly!

Come Join US!
Join us at Smarsh's new headquarters as we unveil TechTown Portland: People on the Move! This short video reveals why Portland is a thriving hub for tech companies, by following six individuals who explain why moving to Portland to work was the right decision.
From the food carts to the beautiful scenery, Portland has something for everyone, and the growing tech scene boasts collaboration and creativity. Our artisanal culture extends from arts and crafts, breweries, and food to creating what’s next in tech.
We already know how wonderful Portland is; now it’s time to give a bigger audience a glimpse of what our vibrant city has to offer. Our firms are growing with the best and brightest, but we need to attract more talent to support the local companies whose innovative technologies are gaining world acclaim.
That’s the purpose behind TechTown Portland: People on the Move. We all benefit from a collective effort to attract more talent to the region.
Doors open at 5:00 pm and the video will begin showing at 5:30 pm.
Thank you to the firms (Acquia, Cozy, Elemental Technologies, Globesherpa, Jama, New Relic, Puppet Labs, Smarsh, Simple, Urban Airship, Viewpoint Construction Software, and Webtrends) and organizations (Portland Development Commission, Business Oregon, CBRE, JLL, and Technology Association of Oregon) that made this video possible.
Special thanks to Smarsh for hosting the premiere.

Update: Given that our regularly scheduled hack night falls on the night of the 2015 State of the Union address, we will be changing the format to accommodate the event.
This hack night will just be a State of the Union watch party from 6PM to 9PM. If you want to catch the whole thing we suggest getting here a little early -- our doors will open at 5:45PM.
You are welcome to bring projects, friends, and laptops, but there will be no presentations or show-and-tell segments. However there will still be pizza.
Join us to work on civic hackery for a better Portland. Bring projects, ideas, designs, laptops, data, and friends.
Schedule:
6:00-9:00 -- State of the Union watch party
~7:00 -- Pizza arrives
Please RSVP so that we know how much pizza we'll need!
Civic Heroes of all types welcome! This event is for coders and non-coders alike -- as long as you're interested in making government more transparent and building interesting things for our city, you're more than welcome!
There will be pizza! We'll be getting some 'za from Sizzle Pie, so there will be vegan and vegetarian options.
Code for Portland has a Code of Conduct! Please always be respectful and help us keep our events welcoming, positive, productive environments for everyone.

Portland ReactJS meetup
Roll back
| description |
## Greetings fellow Reagents!
We are looking forward to our first official ReactJS user group. Dave and Eric from Idealist.org will be sharing some interesting stuff (details below) with us, and we're hoping to have one additional talk. Please let us know if you're interested in speaking/presenting. We'd like to have at least a few lightning talks as well.
## -- Talks --
## Notes on the Design of Components (Dave McCabe)
Dave will discuss what idealist.org has learned about designing React components, specifically techniques for promoting simplicity, reuse, statelessness, and separation of concerns, and for dealing with asynchrony.
## Isomorphic Webpack Hot Module Replacement Boilerplate (Eric O'Connell)
- Do you want to serve fully-rendered HTML from your React application?
- Do you want near-instant feedback in your browser as soon as you edit your React components?
- How about CSS?
This talk will give the starting point for a very nice dev environment using the webpack Hot Module Replacement feature. It will include a (trivial) Express app that renders the entire React component hierarchy which will then be hydrated on the client. Variations shown will include serving API requests out of the same app, and shared client/server routing.
## TBD / Lightning talks
Get in touch with us if you'd like to share your experiences!
Our first meeting will be held at Idealist.org's Portland office located at 209 SW Oak St, Portland OR 97204. Doors will be open at 6pm. Food and beverages will be provided, with vegan/GF options available. Please come at 6 to refreshed and hopefully have a few minutes to mingle so we can be ready to start promptly at 6:30pm. |

Ninja Sales Techniques
Roll back

Do you need to be more effective at doing sales?
Whether your revenue is shy of goals or doing sales creates unease for you, for many entrepreneurs, "sales" is a 4 letter word.
In my upcoming class, "Ninja Sales Techniques", I help entrepreneurs become more effective at doing sales by demystifying it, breaking it down into manageable steps, and offering techniques and tips on how non-salespeople can be successful at doing sales. At the end of the course, you'll leave with a much better understanding of sales, be able to create an effective sales plan, and increase your confidence in doing sales.
This 4-week class begins on 2/3, meets at the PCC Climb Center (by OMSI) for 2 hours each week and is part of the SBDC's Entrepreneur's Skill Series. For more information and to register please visit:
+ http://www.bizcenter.org/small-business-development-centers/portland
+ Click onto the "EVENTS" tab
+ Look for "Ninja Sales Techniques" under the "Business Basics" section.
If you have little or no experience in doing sales but are responsible for bringing in the revenue, then this class is for you!

Join us, 19 February, 2015 at 6:30pm!
Our Topic"I have no idea what I'm doing."
When a new technology arrives there is a period of time in which there are no experts. The technology is so fresh and new even enthusiasts don’t know what to do with it (remember when the iPad came out?) This creates a unique opportunity for people of all skill levels to to create new things with the technology and get exposure for their work.
Being an early creator on a new platform can be an exciting experience that offers the potential for substantial rewards. From software platforms like iOS and Android to content platforms like YouTube and Vimeo and even creative markets like Etsy and Shapeways. Creators in early markets have advantages that can help propel their success.
However taking on early markets comes with substantial risks and countless challenges that can test even the most seasoned veterans. How do you answer questions that Google doesn’t know the answer to? How do you design for a piece of hardware you don’t actually have? How do you make decisions when you have no idea what you’re doing and there is no one to follow?
In this talk I will explore the challenges of working on emerging technologies and platforms through a retelling my experiences working on early iPhone and iPad apps. Through these stories I will share key lessons I learned as well as specific tactics that can be applied to work of all forms.
Our Presenter, Josh MichaelsJosh Michaels is an independent app developer and software artist based in Portland, Oregon. Josh spends most of his time working on his app series “Magic Window” which brings beautiful views from around the world to the iPad, iPhone, and Mac.

Our Topic"I have no idea what I'm doing."
When a new technology arrives there is a period of time in which there are no experts. The technology is so fresh and new even enthusiasts don’t know what to do with it (remember when the iPad came out?) This creates a unique opportunity for people of all skill levels to to create new things with the technology and get exposure for their work.
Being an early creator on a new platform can be an exciting experience that offers the potential for substantial rewards. From software platforms like iOS and Android to content platforms like YouTube and Vimeo and even creative markets like Etsy and Shapeways. Creators in early markets have advantages that can help propel their success.
However taking on early markets comes with substantial risks and countless challenges that can test even the most seasoned veterans. How do you answer questions that Google doesn’t know the answer to? How do you design for a piece of hardware you don’t actually have? How do you make decisions when you have no idea what you’re doing and there is no one to follow?
In this talk I will explore the challenges of working on emerging technologies and platforms through a retelling my experiences working on early iPhone and iPad apps. Through these stories I will share key lessons I learned as well as specific tactics that can be applied to work of all forms.
Our Presenter, Josh MichaelsJosh Michaels is an independent app developer and software artist based in Portland, Oregon. Josh spends most of his time working on his app series “Magic Window” which brings beautiful views from around the world to the iPad, iPhone, and Mac.
