update Calagator::Event 1250465349 Portland Linux/Unix Group Advanced Topics Roll back

description PLUG: Portland's monthly, three-track tech conference! First Thursday: General Meeting at PSU Third Tuesday: Advanced Topics at Free Geek Third Sunday: Hands-on Clinic at Free Geek PLUG will celebrate 20 years of delivering conference-quality Linux, Unix and technology speakers this year! Most speakers are announced about two weeks in advance but some are last minute. Watch Calagator and the PLUG mailing lists for the latest news. Many attendees will break for a social hour after the Third Tuesday meeting at the Lucky Lab on Hawthorne after the meeting See you there! Portland Linux/Unix Group Advanced Topics Meeting Announcement Who: Brian Rohan and Michael Dexter What: Speaking in Public is Easy Where: Free Geek, 1731 SE 10th Avenue, Portland (Left Entrance) When: Tuesday, January 21st, 2014 at 7pm Why: The pursuit of technology freedom You read that right: Speaking in public is easy and there is nothing stopping you from giving the next informative and compelling PLUG talk. * You are guaranteed to have a unique topic, experience and perspective * Audiences are far kinder than you expect (only pros get boo'd!) * Visuals are always optional * No one was born a public speaker * There are great resources out there to help you * Most things that go wrong have nothing to do with you (Tsunamis!) * Live demos are... risky, but cool * The OSCON and LFNW CFP's close shortly (hint hint) Brian and Michael will give you a pragmatic tour of exactly what is involved in open source conference speaking and explain precisely how nothing is stopping you from getting involved thanks to local organizations like the Portland Linux/Unix Group. Brian says: In 2007 I made the switch from being a machinist to a real estate agent, shortly thereafter I was invited to investigate a Toastmasters club, in order to become a better communicator. Through 5 years and over 40 speeches in Toastmasters I reached the highest level of Distinguished Toastmaster. Simply stepping out of my comfort zone has given me the opportunity introduce dignitaries, and MC fund-raising events for worthwhile causes (notably a record breaking Clark County Republican Party Lincoln Day Dinner auction). Currently I am a recognized top 2% leader in AdvoCare International, helping others achieve their physical and financial goals. I enjoy using Linux on a personal level for the freedom that it represents. "You never get rid of public speaking butterflies, you just get them to fly in formation: ~Marv Serhan Michael says: Never in a 1,000 years will I speak in public yet I find myself doing it several times a month in Portland and at conferences around the world. I guarantee I'm no Brian Rohan but I fill rooms and get applause. The secret is finding the right room and just doing it. I will talk about the absolute worst that can happen (rarely what you think it would be), the open source conference community and how to get from submitting a proposal to stepping down from the stage. Many will head to the Lucky Lab on Hawthorne after the meeting.

create Calagator::Event 1250465543 Hack + Help Roll back

description nil About the event: Hack + Help is planning ongoing learning cohorts for those who want to learn a new skill with the increased accountability and mutual support of a class, without all the lectures and cost. The plan is for members to choose a new topic every few months (for example, Python, or Backbone, or databases) and form a cohort that wants to work together to learn more about it. This could be through a MOOC, online tutorials, code challenges, or something else entirely. Learning a new skill in isolation is challenging, so if you have a topic you'd like to learn more about, come meet with us on January 28th to help us build a new cohort! About Hack + Help: New to coding, or just want to pick up a new language? Experienced in coding and want to help others learn? Join us at the new, improved, polyglot, inaugural 2014 Hack + Help session! Bring your laptop and desire to learn (and/or teach!). This event was born out of PDX.rb but now regularly has experienced attendees who are willing to help you out with Ruby, JavaScript, Python, HTML/CSS, and more. We are in the process of restructuring, so while we get all the official channels set up, feel free to email [email protected] with any questions!

description ANNOUNCEMENT: PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF LOCATION: In order to accommodate more registrants, we are moving January 2014 DAMA event to another DOWNTOWN location. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Looking forward to seeing you all and a great interactive presentation! The DAMA Portland Chapter is dedicated to delivering thought provoking data-centric presentations that will make you more successful in your job. Coming this month on 21Jan, the DAMA Portland Chapter will be hosting Paul Spencer on the topic of ‘Building Highly Engaged Technical Teams’ at Cambia Health Solutions in downtown Portland. Register at: http://www.damapdx.org/ <b>Summary</b><br> Technical team leaders are often highly trained in their chosen field. But they're also often not trained in how to lead a team. They know that leadership is just as important as the technical side of the job (if not more so), but they've been left to figure out how to do it for themselves. They're frustrated because they haven't got the toolkit they need to get the best out of their team. To build a truly exceptional technical team, you need to do three things: engage them, enable them, and energize them. In this interactive presentation, we’ll cover the following topics: · The benefits of having a highly engaged team · How to engage, enable, and energize your project team · Aligning the team on communication styles and workplace values · Empowering the team through servant leadership · Creating and sustaining a culture of high performance · Building performance drivers into the daily experience · Simple techniques for maintaining momentum <b>Schedule</b><br> 8:30 - 9:00 am - Sign In / Refreshments<br> 9:00 - 10:15 am - Presentation <br> 10:15 - 10:30 am - Break, Chapter Announcements <br> 10:30 - 11:30 am - Presentation continued <br> Free for members! <br> $15 for guests <br> See web site for the list of our corporate members Note: We have received feedback that registering on the DAMA site is not as easy as it could be, given the need to create an account on the site.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Our Speaker has a unavoidable conflict and will not be able to make it to Portland on the 21st. PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF TOPIC AND SPEAKER. We will reschedule Paul and Kim on the topic of Building Highly Engaged Technical Teams at a later time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Looking forward to seeing you all and a great interactive presentation! Registration and Location logistics remain the same (see original message below).

The DAMA Portland Chapter is dedicated to delivering thought provoking data-centric presentations that will make you more successful in your job. Coming this month on 21Jan, the DAMA Portland Chapter will be hosting Sudhir Menon on the topic of ‘Build your Online apps on Hadoop today' at the Standard Insurance Auditorium in downtown Portland. Register at: http://www.damapdx.org/ <b>Summary</b><br> Hadoop has come a long way from the time Yahoo open sourced an effort based on a paper produced by Google. Hadoop is a billion dollar industry and is disrupting the way the world looks at data, the value of data and the intelligence that can be gleaned from data. Wherever you are in your Hadoop learning curve, you’ll likely learn something from this presentation. Even if you are brand new (perhaps especially if you are new), this is a great time to get some exposure, learn about Haddoop’s capabilities and see how to get started. It’s not scary. Simultaneously, the in-memory revolution is moving towards mainstream adoption. Sudhir will talk about how you can move past OLTP and OLAP and embrace OLEP (Online Everything Processing) and what that means to the way we build cloud scale applications AND deliver value to customers in ways that are unprecedented and were not feasible up until now. He’ll talk about the solution characteristics and the elements of the technology stack that allow you to build these kinds of applications.

create Calagator::Event 1250465540 Agile PDX Evening: The Role of QA in Scrum - Leveraging Agile for Defect Prevention Roll back

description nil The key to a successful adoption of any software development methodology is a clear understanding of the roles and responsibilities of each team member within that framework. As Agile continues its rapid adoption in organizations across the globe, it’s essential to define the role of QA in Scrum as concretely as we’ve defined the other Scrum Team roles. During our team’s recent Agile transition, I was approached from all corners of the organization, with questions like, “What does QA do every day in the sprint? What are their responsibilities beyond testing and reporting defects? What should they do in the early part of the sprint, when there’s no software to test yet?” Despite being a recent “graduate” of several Agile methodology courses, I found myself ill-equipped to answer these questions. There isn’t much information in the trainings or on the web about the role of QA in the Scrum team. What little I have found is primarily anecdotal, rarely specific, and never comprehensive. While Product Owner and Scrum Master roles are very well defined, QA Engineers fall under the generic label, “Team Member." We were on our own to define the role of QA. What we quickly learned delighted us: Agile methodology, with its fundamental shift away from waterfall software development, gives QA an opportunity for broader and deeper involvement in the overall software development lifecycle. This enables us better to ensure quality — not by finding and reporting defects — but by preventing the introduction of defects in the first place. This talk provides a deep dive into the specific, day to day role of QA in Scrum, as our team developed it through the course of a yearlong transition to Agile. You will learn specific responsibilities and activities you can bring to your teams to transcend the traditional test-and-report, after-the-fact approach to quality assurance. And you will learn to leverage the unique components of Agile to significantly expand your scope of influence, and measurably improve the quality of your software. Speaker : Karen Ascheim Wysopal is a Section Manager in Software Quality at Hewlett-Packard. She currently leads the Quality Assurance program for HPConnected.com, ePrintcenter.com, and related HP web-connected printer technologies. With over 20 years in the software QA industry, Karen’s professional passions are building high functioning innovative QA teams from the ground up, defining new processes, and expanding QA focus on the user experience. She can’t seem to stop breaking software.

create Calagator::Event 1250465539 AgilePDX Downtown Pub Lunch: Keeping it Fresh: New Ideas for Agile Retrospectives Roll back

description nil In February, due to popular demand, we are revisiting retrospectives with our local (and noted international) authority on the topic, Diana Larsen. Retrospectives improve any project or process--building on a team’s immediate past experience of success and failure. Smart teams and organizations hold Retrospectives iteratively, throughout the work cycle and at important milestones. In Retrospectives, teams systematically evaluate their own performance, explore their lessons learned, expand their capacity and capability, and forge ways to continuously improve their work and deliverables. Teams can’t truly call themselves Agile if they don’t include Retrospectives among their regular work practices. However, over time as Retrospectives become routine, they can also become stale and boring, delivering less value to the team. Or teams may hold pro forma Retrospectives that don't result in real improvements. How can you prevent this? Keep your Retrospective practice fresh through a renewed emphasis on team learning, collective analysis, and collaborative decision making. Bring new activities and group processes to the meeting that will stimulate better thinking and improvements. In this session, Diana Larsen will introduce the Flexible Framework for Retrospectives and how to incorporate the Five Rules for Team Learning in your Retrospective designs. She'll lead a discussion of new team activities to enlarge your repertoire, so bring your favorites to share. Bio: Diana Larsen, founding partner of FutureWorks Consulting, is considered an international authority in the areas of Agile software development, team leadership, and Agile transitions. Diana works with organizations around the world to design work systems, improve project performance, and support Agile leaders and enterprises. Deeply in tune with how work teams grow, adapt, and develop, she co-authored Agile Retrospectives: Making Good Teams Great, Liftoff: Launching Agile Teams and Projects, Quickstart Guide to Five Rules for Accelerated Learning, and articles about the Agile Fluency model at www.agilefluency.com and http://www.infoq.com/articles/agile-fluency-fit-purpose Follow Diana on Twitter (@DianaOfPortland). We’ll be waiting for you at Ringler’s under the Crystal Ballroom on Burnside but will start on time at 12p and end on time at 1p. We’re in the back room. If you miss this opportunity, you miss an opportunity to learn, network, and drink McMenamin’s beer in the middle of day with new friends.

update Calagator::Event 1250465536 "Is it usable yet?" Find out about the value of UCD & IA in contemporary UX Roll back

description # Is It Usable Yet? Forty years on, it's easy to forget that user-centered design and information architecture were once disruptive new ideas. Today, they're both presumed to be kind-of "thrown in" when UX work is being done. "Of course we're user centered: that's the U in UX!" "Of course we did the IA - we've got navbars and a site map, don't we?" But as Peter Morville notes, when something is a part of everybody's job, that thing ends up being nobody's job and it does not get done right. What's the situation around, and value of, UCD and IA in contemporary UX practice? Find out in a lively Q&A and short presentation on January 28 at Mozilla's office in Portland with Dan Klyn from The Understanding Group. Spoiler: what these things mean today is amazing, essential, transformative and not what you probably expect. ## About Dan Dan Klyn is co-founder of The Understanding Group (TUG), teaches information architecture at the University of Michigan School of Information and serves on the board of the IA Institute. He does IA work for clients including Herman Miller and JSTOR and his research focus is also his hero: Richard Saul Wurman. # Is It Usable Yet?

create Calagator::Event 1250465534 Wordpress Meetup: Planning a Successful WordPress Site Roll back

description nil It always saddens me when people come to me near the end of a project, deadline looming, with a site that has clearly gone off the rails and ask if it can be fixed. The answer is usually 'not without starting over'. In this session, I'll provide a blueprint for investing your time and money wisely to end up with a site you love that is also useful, effective and easy to manage. I'll talk about finding a good developer, asking the right questions, and what you as the site owner should be prepared to contribute. Speaker Bio Kronda Adair is an independent WordPress developer who loves helping people make their sites better. She's spoken at Open Source Bridge, Wordcamp Portland, and recently gave an Ignite talk titled, Stop Making Senseless websites.
