How to Close a Seed Investment Before you have a Product
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
Fund raising for your start up can be tough. It's even tougher when you're trying to fund raise before you have a working prototype in customers' hands. Our usual advice: a working prototype is one of the prerequisites for raising a seed round.
But AutoAp Inc. CEO Mark Paul beat the odds by raising a substantial seed round with a user interface demo, but not a working prototype. How did he do it? He will reveal all in our Dec. 3 “Startup Stories” interview. So if your struggling with your funding plan, you're sure to pick up some helpful pointers at this event!
When: Tuesday, Dec. 3, 4pm
Where: OTBC, 8305 SW Creekside Pl, Beaverton, OR
Cost: $10 |

Business Intelligence for Nonprofit Fundraising
Roll back
| description |

<p><span>Is your donor data managed by a handful of systems that perform well for data entry tasks but that are inadequate for deep analysis especially over the long term? Or are you adept at querying your donor and gift management systems, but is doing so a laborious and time consuming task? Do you have multiple versions of the truth, and do they all compete for the attention of fundraisers and decision makers?</span> <br></p>
<p>Do any of these scenarios sound familiar? Do you lack the ability to query and explore your fundraising data in an efficient, authoritative, and insightful manner?</p>
<p>Using the tools and techniques of business intelligence, you can gain actionable insight about your donors and make your fundraising efforts more effective. In this session, I will demonstrate how you can use the Microsoft SQL Server business intelligence platform to create a powerful reporting solution, explore your donor file in highly interactive ways, and discover new opportunities for fundraising.</p>
<p>What is Business Intelligence? <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_intelligence">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_intelligence</a> <br></p>
<p>Why do you need Business Intelligence? <a href="http://www.jamesserra.com/archive/2013/03/why-you-need-business-intelligence/">http://www.jamesserra.com/archive/2013/03/why-you-need-business-intelligence/</a></p>
<p>Stop by for discussion, networking with the nonprofit tech crowd, and refreshments! <br></p>
<p> <br></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Presenter</strong></span></p>
<p>Based in Portland, <b>Gregory Gross</b> develops database and business intelligence solutions primarily on the Microsoft SQL Server database platform. His specialties include transactional database development, data integration and migration, and data reporting and analytics. He has experience in the health care, environment regulation, and nonprofit philanthropy. You can read more about Gregory on his website, <a href="http://www.gregorygross.com/">www.gregorygross.com</a>.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Agenda</strong></span></p>
<p>Networking and refreshments 6pm-6:30pm</p>
<p>Presentation 6:30pm-7:45pm</p>
<p>Community announcements and networking 7:45pm-8pm</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Accessibility</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Mobility Access:</strong> The main entrance on Glisan opens right into the ThinkShout office and there is one step. However, there's a side entrance on 4th that is wheelchair accessible. If using that entrance, dial 001 on the keypad to be buzzed in.</p>
<p><strong>Hearing Access:</strong>Â We will not have access to a PA system.</p>
<p><strong>Sight Access:</strong>Â We will use either a large monitor or a projector for presentations.</p>
<p>We want everyone to be able to participate in the PDXTech4Good community and events. Please don't hesitate to let us know what we can do to accommodate your needs.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Parking & Transportation</strong></span></p>
<p>There's a large paid parking lot next to ThinkShout on 4th and Glisan as well as another across the street. There's also lots of street parking.</p>
<p>ThinkShout is close to the MAX, streetcar, and several bus lines.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>What you'll get out of PDXTech4Good events</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Nonprofit staffers</strong> will find a friendly, welcoming atmosphere for those not experienced with technology, and many chances to ask questions of tech-experienced nonprofits and experts.</p>
<p><strong>Techies</strong> will find opportunities to hear the real-world stories of nonprofit clients, and put their own expertise to social good â as well as the potential for lasting relationships (be they paid or volunteer) with leading organizations in our community.</p>
<p><strong>Activists and community organizers</strong> will see and be given the chance to present on successful uses of technology for social change. We'll explore how technology can help support activism and where activism can push it forward.</p> |

Portland Ruby Brigade monthly meeting
Roll back
| description |
** Our Nov & Dec 2013 meetings will be at New Relic instead of our usual location, CrowdCompass **
PRE-MEETING DINNER at 6pm
We'll have pizza, so stop by early if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations.
PRESENTATIONS at 7pm:
* Markus Roberts: Ruby Hangman
* Robb Shecter lightning talk: Intellectual Property in a Nutshell
* Davy Stevenson & Eric Hodel & Rein Henrichs: <a href="http://rubyconf.org/program#davy-stevenson-eric-hodel-rein-henrichs">Arrrr me hearty! Sailing the Seas of DRb in a Shoe</a>
BEER & SNACKS at 9pm
After presentations we'll have more socializing/pirating time with beer & snacks.
ARRIVING BY BIKE?
Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 28th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 28th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking.
Thanks to New Relic for hosting this month!

Portland Ruby Brigade monthly meeting
Roll back
| description |
** Our Nov & Dec 2013 meetings will be at New Relic instead of our usual location, CrowdCompass **
Pre-Meeting Dinner at 6pm: Stop by early if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations.
PRESENTATIONS at 7pm:
* Markus Roberts: Ruby Hangman
* Robb Shecter lightning talk: Intellectual Property in a Nutshell
* Davy Stevenson & Eric Hodel & Rein Henrichs: <a href="http://rubyconf.org/program#davy-stevenson-eric-hodel-rein-henrichs">Arrrr me hearty! Sailing the Seas of DRb in a Shoe</a>
Beer & Snacks at 9pm: After presentations we'll have more socializing time with beer & snacks.
ARRIVING BY BIKE?
Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 28th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the tool booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." Go in there, and ride on up to the 28th floor. You'll easily find the bike parking.
Thanks to New Relic for hosting this month!
<em>ABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade, also known as pdxruby and pdx.rb, is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland, Oregon area. The group welcomes all programmers interested in the language and its implementations, tools, libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails. The group has been meeting since August 2002 for presentations, demos and discussions. Every month 35-75 people come together to share their knowledge, projects and enthusiasm for Ruby. If you'd like to present or have a topic you'd like discussed, please post to the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/pdxruby">mailing list</a>. The group usually meets on the first Tuesday of the month, "Ruby Tuesday" -- see you there!

Rose City SPIN: The Tail that Wags the Dogma
Roll back
| description |
Free event!
Networking @ 5:30-6:30 PM; Talk @ 6:30-7:30 PM
<h3>Rose City SPIN Talk: The Tail that Wags the Dogma</h3>
Presented by Rhea Stadick
<h3>Abstract:</h3>
It is a common pattern for advocates of any kind (Agile, Quality, Process Improvement methods, Waterfall, etc.) to start off banging a drum with almost religious zealotry. âThis is the way to achieve quality!â âFollow me or be cast aside!â I have certainly done this and many of the change agents and forward thinkers I respect in the industry have struggled with this as well in their careers. However, riding a train of dogmatic viewpoints and practices has, in many cases, ruined the original efforts of change agents and more tragically, created bad patterns of development. This presentation (also recently presented at the Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference earlier this year) will explore how we can clarify our intentions and work towards creating an environment where the people involved are empowered to think and experiment but still march in the same general direction. As product development becomes more and more complex, different approaches are needed to get to the right outcome and we can no longer afford to apply rigid methods that worked for a simpler environment. This presentation will help the audience think critically about where they are being too dogmatic in their efforts while introducing some new ways of thinking around complex adaptive systems and complex product development. The full paper written for this conference presentation can be found here: http://www.uploads.pnsqc.org/2013/papers/t-095_Stadick_paper.pdf
<h3>Speaker Bio: </h3>

Topic:
Scrum Must Die: Many teams over the last decade have moved to Agile Scrum development, but many have missed the key point of doing the adoption-Scrum and it's rituals are merely training-wheels for building a lasting Agile culture. In this topic, Ray Arell talks about how long-term dependency on Scrum can hinder the potential creativity and profitability of teams. Then he will look at successful patterns of how to use the framework to develop core skills and methods that, once the time-box is removed, will enable teams to deliver value daily. Finally, he will contrast the key challenges for teams stuck in the transition as well as key methods for moving forward.
Bio:
Ray Arell is Director of Intel Emergent Systems and Coaching. He is currently a transformative leader in the adoption of agile, Lean, and complex system methods inside Intel, and his group is currently coaching a community of practice of over ten thousand people that are moving to a continuous value delivery culture. Prior to this role, he spent several decades as both an engineer and engineering manager of teams focused on CPU, chipset, graphics, wireless, and software development. He is the coauthor of Change-Based Test Management: Improving the Software Validation Process and is a popular speaker at events worldwide.

# How the Internet Works #
## An introduction to the Internet's structure and protocols through fun experiments from the Python perspective. ##
### We'll use Python libraries like Scapy and Twisted to explore: ###
* What happens under the hood when you type python.org into your browser bar and hit enter
* What data you reveal about yourself as you surf the Web
* How coffee shop Internet access works
* How to propose marriage on your local network via ARP cache poisoning
### By the end of this talk you'll: ###
* Understand the core Internet protocols and how design decisions from the early Internet impact us today
* Have exposure to popular Python networking libraries
* Think sniffing your own wireless traffic is a fun way to spend a Saturday morning
This is the second event in a series of free monthly FutureTalks from disruptive Developers, innovative Technologists and world-changing Creatives. Doors open at 5:30p for food and drinks, and the presentation will begin promptly at 6p.
Please RSVP via Eventbrite [HERE](http://www.eventbrite.com/event/9484860473)

She is a Director for the Python Software Foundation and an organizer for the largest Python user group in the world. With that group she runs the Boston Python Workshop -- an introductory programming pipeline that has brought hundreds of women into the local Python community and is being replicated in cities across the US.*
*Jessica is a veteran open source contributor and a maintainer for several open source projects, including OpenHatch and the Twisted event-driven networking engine; she wrote a chapter on Twisted for The Architecture of Open Source Applications Volume II and the second edition of O'Reilly's Twisted Networking Essentials.*

Monthly presentation night!
This set of talks will be a great way to cap off our first year of PDXNode:
* Jen(@ednapiranha) A Mozillan and co-creator of meatspac.es, will be sharing about the awesome new WebRTC chat fun taking over our cameras and free time.
* Wraithan Our resident IRC champion, will be running a tutorial on IRC bots: "from installing libraries to connecting to a channel to reacting to what someone said".
* Eric Drechsel will be speaking on the trials and tribulations of using harp.js
Presentations start at 7pm. We welcome open dialogue during the presenations. We're all here to learn!
Come a little early to say hi. We'll also be hanging out at 6:30pm to help any newcomers needing help to gettting started by installing node and npm.
It will be a nice variety of topics and level of talks. If anyone is interested, we could also take discussions to post-talk drinks nearby. Maybe even hack a little. |
