Go Portland Tech is a chance for everyone involved in Portland technology to come try their hand at Go, a game that is loved by geeks the world over.
Go is both thousands of years old, simple to learn, and poses interesting computer science problems (a computer player has yet to beat the best humans, and amateurs can still beat the bots too).
Regular Portland Go club meetups are held on Tuesdays and Saturdays (see: OregonGo.org) but this is a chance for tech folks that are seasoned players or absolute beginners to get together and share a game. No experience is necessary to attend. |

Refresh Portland February: Callie B. Carroll on Assumptions About Users and Accessibility
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
Welcome to the 2010 Refresh Portland season! To open up the year, we have Callie B. Carroll, a user experience, usability and accessibility specialist, and humanitarian technologist who speaks both computer and human.
Callie will talk about the tricky art of planning for accessibility, where assumptions must be made about users, and these assumptions can create design that is either inclusive or exclusive, with narrow or broad usability.
The big question she will address: can you think about users in ways that will help designers and developers create technology that works for everyone, rather than technology that just supports what some see as the disparate groups of “normal” users and “those with disabilities”.
Her thesis: When the accessibility of technology (hardware, software, web, and mobile) is considered throughout design, development, and testing, the rewards are systems that provide equal access to functionality, services, and information for their entire range of users. |

About The Social Innovation Forum
The Springboard Social Innovation Forum offers a monthly event designed to support those interested in creating a better future. Our focus is to help practitioners or potential practitioners of social projects push beyond discussion and debate into action. Each Forum will inspire and teach with ideas, powerful role models, and stories. Speakers, content experts, panels, and workshops will help you improve your strategies for planning and launching effective social ventures. The Forum will create a context to connect, learn, and take action around ideas that lead to tangible changeâall in a venue designed for building community.
The Forum is intended to attract people with a wide range of experience and backgrounds, but with a common interestâmaking a difference. If you are getting tired of waiting for someone else to step up to take on issues you care about, come see how this can be a place to make a difference, here or around the world. We invite people from both the business and non-profit communityâinvestors and activistsâto join in, work together, and make this a model for other cities to adopt.

At the March Springboard Social Innovation weâll be addressing innovative physical spaces.

The space will offer classrooms, tools, programs, and experts who will work together to solve local and global problems. Tenants of all sectors will work in close proximity in a shared work space that fosters collaboration, community, and participation to generate social and ecological solutions.
Join us for a âworking Forum,â where weâll discuss HATCH and the potential role a physical space can play in solving social and environmental problems. **SPACE IS LIMITED, PLEASE RSVP** Please contact Mary Grace at (503) 452-6898 or marygrace@springboardinnovation.org for more information about this event and to RSVP.

PDX Tweetup Breakfast - The Elvis, Evolved.
Roll back

I could say that we're going there because it's right next to little c's school, and thus incredibly easy for me to reach. I could cite the fact that they have bacon-cheddar biscuits AND corn/bacon muffins on a regular (dare I say constant) basis. I could mention the other lovely pastries. Or I could point out that, as the replacement to the beloved Sydney's cafe, the place is the only waystation for web workers for miles around.
But none of that matters. Here's why we're going: "Grilled peanut butter and honey with sliced bananas on sourdough." Om nom nom nom.
As always, buy your own breakfast and join us at the big table in the middle of the place (or the banquette if we can jam enough tables together). |

A polyglot programming group meeting in the heart of The Beave. We seem to talk a lot about oddball programming languages and their features. And the usual geekery you'd expect from a programmer's group.
This month we'll have a talk by Eric Wilhelm:
"Perl 6: What you've missed in the last $n years." I
will present an overview of the Perl 6 project, a snapshot of recent
development, and samples of what you can do with Rakudo Perl 6 now.
