CHIFOO Presents: The Future of Kick Ass Cars
Roll back
| description |
The program will begin with a review of Hondaâs user research and design research process while developing new applications for the companyâs 3-D heads-up display prototype. It will be a fairly candid talk showing lessons learned and how the team changed focus mid-way on design direction after learning about new things while designing. This included focusing more on the driverâs primary task instead of secondary tasks to help create a more engaging (âkick-assâ) experience for the driver.
About the Speaker
Victor Ng Thow Hing is a Principal Scientist working at the Honda Research Institute in Mountain View, Calif. He has worked on projects related to digital human modeling, intelligent systems, human-robot interaction, and now human-machine interaction in the car.

SPIN: Still Programming After All These Years
Roll back
| description |
Networking @ 5:30-6:30 PM; Seminar 6:30-7:30 PM
Abstract:
Anyone who has seen a few generations of computer technology knows that each generation brings in a whole new vocabulary. It seems like the same old thing but with all of the names changed. Why do they do that?
It helps us get unstuck. That's the short answer. Each generation brings with it unfamiliar capabilities. It takes serious effort to find application for those capabilities and hiding the good stuff among the familiar just makes doing new things harder.
In this presentation I'll describe my own lurch forward over the last two years. The web, which has been stuck in its own way, has busted free. Its a great time to try something new. Some of this is technology, some methodology, and some community. All of it impresses me. Let me tell you why it's important.
Bio:
Ward Cunningham programs every day at New Relic. He continues to develop the unique data handling capabilities of Federated Wiki, a project rooted in his service as Nike's open-data fellow. Ward co-founded the consultancy, Cunningham & Cunningham, Inc. He has served as CTO at CitizenGlobal and AboutUs, a Director of the Eclipse Foundation, an Architect in Microsoft's Patterns & Practices Group, the Director of R&D at Wyatt Software and as Principle Engineer in the Tektronix Computer Research Laboratory.
Ward is well known for his contributions to the developing practice of object-oriented programming, the variation called Extreme Programming, and the communities supported by his WikiWikiWeb. Ward hosts the AgileManifesto.org. He is a founder of the Hillside Group and there created the Pattern Languages of Programs conferences which continues to be held all over the word.

Monthly Presentation Night for PDXNode
Carter Thaxton will be speaking on VoiceBox, "What can you build with nodejs?
Karaoke... that's what!".
David Manning will share about Node.js and ES6: "The next version of the ECMAScript standard (ES6) is due to be to be finalized this year. This talk will outline some of those features that are currently available in Node.js, and demo a few fun examples of what we can do with them."
Starting our evening will be a lightning talk by Andrew Winterman who will share his "flask-inspired microframework for nodejs", Demitasse, at New Relic!
Newbies welcome! We're hanging out from around 6pm on for questions and hacking. Talks will begin shortly after 7pm. |

PRESENTATIONS
* Kerri Miller: You Can't Miss What You Can't Measure<br>
Adrift at sea, a GPS device will report your precise latitude and longitude, but if you don't know what those numbers mean, you're just as lost as before. Similarly, there are many tools that offer a wide variety of metrics about your code, but other than making you feel good, what are you supposed to do with this knowledge? Let's answer that question by exploring what the numbers mean, how static code analysis can add value to your development process, and how it can help us chart the unexplored seas of legacy code.
* Jonan Scheffler will talk about Ruby's singleton/eigen/metaclass.
* David Celis and Ben Weintraub talk about interesting performance issues.
* ...and lots of great group discussions on Ruby-related topics.

Thanks to CrowdCompass for hosting Ruby meetings every Tuesday!
PRESENTATIONS
* Kerri Miller: You Can't Miss What You Can't Measure<br>
Adrift at sea, a GPS device will report your precise latitude and longitude, but if you don't know what those numbers mean, you're just as lost as before. Similarly, there are many tools that offer a wide variety of metrics about your code, but other than making you feel good, what are you supposed to do with this knowledge? Let's answer that question by exploring what the numbers mean, how static code analysis can add value to your development process, and how it can help us chart the unexplored seas of legacy code.
* Markus Roberts: Ruby MRH (Most Recent Hangman)
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/pdxruby/pi21nYUOLBI/A4E3y-LW-REJ
* Jonan Scheffler will talk about Ruby's singleton/eigen/metaclass.
* David Celis and Ben Weintraub talk about interesting performance issues.
* ...and lots of great group discussions on Ruby-related topics.

Portland Linux/Unix Group General Meeting: Hacking on the new Beagle Bone Black
Roll back
| description |
Hacking on the new Beagle Bone Black
Description:
Russell recently spent some time working on porting a house-monitoring system from the Beagle Bone (an $89 embedded, ARM-based, I/O rich device running linux) to the new Beagle Bone Black, a $45 device which is faster, includes video and 2G of onboard flash. The sensors required a one-wire bus, one of which the original Beagle Bone had configured out of the box. The Beagle Bone Black had none. This talk is a description of what it took to get one-wire (specifically w1-gpio) going with his own custom "cape" (a daughter-board for the Beagle Bone).
Biography:
Russell Senior has been a GNU/Linux user for over 20 years, since the 0.99plN days, using it both recreationally and professionally as a research programmer/scientific data analyst. Since 2005, Russell has become involved as a principal volunteer with the Personal Telco Project (https://personaltelco.net), during which he has worked on embedded systems, primarily network routers. He contributes to the development and improvement of the OpenWrt project. In the last couple years, he has worked on monitoring systems involving Arduino and, since last year, the Beagle Bone and has learned a bit about the Angstrom distribution of linux for embedded devices.
Many will head to the Lucky Lab NW after the meeting |

Portland Riak "Luc Perkins & The Personal Cloud"
Roll back

Is the siloed internet over? It's too early to tell, but personal cloud is showing tremendous promise as a counter-paradigm that holds the promise of both providing most or all of the services that we currently enjoy and doing so in a way that is vastly more consistent with more stringent understanding of privacy and consent. While there are numerous countries making slow progress on the personal cloud front, none, as far as I know, are considering Riak as a data store for personal clouds. In this talk, I'd like to make the case for Riak as being an ideal technology for this. |

Data & Applications Across the Void :: Distributing Systems
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
Today distributing applications is relatively easy, until you get to the data side of things. This is where the complexity in most applications comes into focus, where does the data go? How do I replicate or synchronize the data? How do or where do I cache data? What’s the geographic issues with data in one place and applications in another? How does the gravity of the data affect my application?
This talk will hone in on key details around implementing a true distributed system across geographically dispersed areas and how to provide the end user a solid synchronized experience while using the application. Examples will be provided with hybrid computing solutions and distributed software solutions including distributed databases, PaaS Deployment packaging and other key technologies. |
