Roll back
| description |
Product Managers need good information to make good decisions. But how do you get this information? There are many online surveys at your disposal, such as SurveyMonkey, SurveyGizmo, and SurveyWriter, but any one of them can be subverted by bad survey design. This event will give you an overview of how to plan research properly, how to write a good questionnaire so you can obtain meaningful information, and decide which self-service survey tool will best encourage users to complete your survey to deliver significant results.

Steve has used a wide variety of data collection methodologies and analytics. He has managed over 200 online survey projects globally using Surveywriter, Surveygizmo and Surveymonkey, and has relied on the top online panel companies worldwide.

We’ll focus on the multidisciplinary nature of Web work, moving beyond the tools and the technology to look at the human side of creating online experiences. We’ll look at the WHY.
We all consume the Web. We watch videos, we join social networks, we read articles or posts. Many of us contribute to the Web. We blog, we make Vines, we share photos, we post to Reddit. And some of us help create the Web. We write code, we build apps, we design interfaces. CrowdSource Summit will help you make the move from consumer to contributor to creator, whatever your level of technical prowess.
**Registration is only $50, which includes sessions, meals, and a t-shirt!** |

Portland Linux/Unix Group Advanced Topics Meeting Announcement
Who: Leander Harding<br>
What: Living Desktop Environment-Free<br>
Where: Free Geek, 1731 SE 10th Avenue, Portland (Left Entrance) <br>
When: Tuesday, October 21st, 2014 at 7pm<br>
Why: The pursuit of technology freedom<br>
Stream: http://pdxlinux.org/live/ <br>
KDE, Unity, even XFCE, are massive, complex software environments that
achieve simplicity of user experience through rigid adherence to a given
paradigm - and once you can write a shell script, they do remarkably
little for you. We'll discuss philosophy, tools, and practical advice
for simpler, more reliable, and more powerful computing without a
desktop environment, surveying everything from non-annoying network
profile handling to the wide world of mouse-free window management and
everything in between.
Leander Harding is a developer at Cloud Four and a longtime Linux user.
He's been running desktop environment-free since 2007.
Many will head to the Lucky Lab at 915 SE Hawthorne Blvd. after the meeting.

When: Tuesday, October 21st, 2014 at 7pm<br>
Why: The pursuit of technology freedom<br>
Stream: http://pdxlinux.org/live/ <br>
KDE, Unity, even XFCE, are massive, complex software environments that
achieve simplicity of user experience through rigid adherence to a given
paradigm - and once you can write a shell script, they do remarkably
little for you. We'll discuss philosophy, tools, and practical advice
for simpler, more reliable, and more powerful computing without a
desktop environment, surveying everything from non-annoying network
profile handling to the wide world of mouse-free window management and
everything in between.
Leander Harding is a developer at Cloud Four and a longtime Linux user.
He's been running desktop environment-free since 2007.
Many will head to the Lucky Lab on Hawthorne after the meeting.
See you there!

Portland Linux/Unix Group General Meeting Announcement<br>
Who: Jennifer Davidson<br>
What: Diversity in Open Source: What We Can Do<br>
Where: PSU, 1930 SW 4th Ave. Room FAB 86-01 (Lower Level)<br>
When: Thursday, October 2nd, 2014 at 7pm<br>
Why: The pursuit of technology freedom<br>
Stream: http://pdxlinux.org/live/<br>
If you're involved in tech and/or open source, you know the community
suffers from a lack of diversity. The big question is: Why? Even more
powerful is: What can each of us do to build a community that is
welcoming of contributors from all backgrounds? Jennifer Davidson will
shed light on these issues and discuss what ChickTech is doing locally
in Portland. Expect actionable steps we can take as a community to
increase diversity in tech.
Jennifer Davidson is a User Experience Researcher and Designer at Intel.
She received a PhD in Computer Science with an emphasis in
Human-Computer Interaction from Oregon State University in June 2014.
She is the Interim Board President for ChickTech (http://chicktech.org).
Her passions include studying open source communities, designing
software that works for humans, and doing outreach to build women in
tech communities. Jennifer has given talks at OSCON, Open Source Bridge,
Open Source Systems, Code n' Splode, and many academic conferences.
Many will head to the Lucky Lab NW at 1945 NW Quimby after the meeting.
See you there!

Managing and Utilizing Big Data for Your Workforce | HR Event
It’s been said that Big Data is like dating in middle school - everyone talks about it, but nobody knows what they’re doing. We aim to help change that.
What information can/should/must we collect from employees, and how do we connect it to large business and benefits management systems?
Join us on October 7th as we explore Big Data and What it Means to Your Workforce.
Panelists:
Eric Wilson, Principal, HR Integrated Solutions -- Eric will try to separate the fact from fiction with regard to how big data is likely to impact the future of HR. How do you determine what data you should consider acquiring and from what sources? Once you get your hands on the information how do you turn that “raw” data into something that is actionable, with potentially predictive relevance? How do you present the data in a way that can drive decisions to achieve organizational change? This should be a thought-provoking primer regarding the relevance of Big Data in HR.
Check back for additional panelists.

One key competitive advantage of small fast-growing companies is there agility which gives them the ability to learn fast and adjust their efforts quickly. Yet as a consequence, some leaders of fast growing companies tend to focus on execution with limited strategy, only to discover that outcomes do not match expectations. To drive sustainable and predictable growth, emerging companies must embrace strategies that leverage their agility and allocate their resources in a way that amplifies their efforts.
Join a gathering of your peers at the Response Capture for an interactive discussion featuring SiriusDecisions that will explore the foundational components required to develop an always on marketing machine, including:
*Core marketing functions and structural elements necessary to drive growth
*The key requirements for successful SaaS based offerings
Essential planning elements to support prioritization, resource balancing and ensure focus
*Vital marketing processes to leverage to deliver repeatability and enable scalability

CrowdSource Summit: A conference for emerging web professionals

CrowdSource Summit, presented by the Higher Education Web Professionals Association, is a new conference for college and university students who want to explore the many possibilities that “working on the Web” encompasses. We’ll focus on the multidisciplinary nature of Web work, moving beyond the tools and the technology to look at the human side of creating online experiences. We’ll look at the WHY.
We all consume the Web. We watch videos, we join social networks, we read articles or posts. Many of us contribute to the Web. We blog, we make Vines, we share photos, we post to Reddit. And some of us help create the Web. We write code, we build apps, we design interfaces. CrowdSource Summit will help you make the move from consumer to contributor to creator, whatever your level of technical prowess.
**Registration is only $50, which includes sessions, meals, and a t-shirt!** |

Yet as a consequence, some leaders of fast growing companies tend to focus on execution with limited strategy, only to discover that outcomes do not match expectations.

<b><a href="http://www.meetup.com/StartupHappyHour/events/208969632/">PLEASE RSVP HERE</a></b>
Startup Coffee Hour! reinvents the Startup Accelerator as a two-hour flash mob at a coffee shop. Join us at Rocking Frog Cafe, the Victorian coffee shop on Portland's eastside.
<b>What's going to be happening?</b>
Dropping by, hanging out, demoing your app, discussing the latest tech news, pitching your concept, meeting new people, offering feedback to your peers, and drinking lots of coffee.
<b>How does it work?</b>
Our startup accelerator is free and open to anyone who wants to come. We don't take any equity; we don't charge any fees. There's no structure or agenda, and the entire program lasts two hours.
<b>No structure? So where do I begin?</b>
If you're unsure what to do when you arrive, start by asking people two simple questions: "What are you working on?" and "How can I help?

Agile and Beyond Budgeting
Roll back
| description |

As organizations expand agility into the enterprise it quickly becomes clear that traditional approaches such as Scrum of Scrums and Release Trains are not sufficient. How do you move away from a fixed financial budget to create a lean and Agile product portfolio? Can you empower self-organizing teams when individually-focused Management By Objectives (MBOs) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) rule the way the organizations measure progress?
Beyond Budgeting is a way of thinking that aligns with Agile and provides enterprises with the language, subject matter context and concrete detail necessary to address these dilemmas and complement the Agile mindset found in software and product development.
Created as part of Agile Alliance's "Supporting Agile Adoption" workshop, this talk will define Beyond Budgeting, highlight how it aligns with Agile as well as describe where it differs and propose an approach to taking advantage of both lines of thinking to create a holistic approach to enterprise agility.
