http://bit.ly/bcp4volunteer
What is BarCamp?
BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from participants. You never quite know what to expect at BarCamp. When you arrive on Friday, there will be an agenda framework (times / rooms), but the content for the sessions will be decided by the participants. |

Innovation in Motion: Zero Moment of Truth - A New Model for Modern Marketing
Roll back
| description |
Shoppers used to make up their minds about a product within the first few seconds of encountering that product on the shelf for the first time. In 2005, Procter & Gamble coined this interaction as âThe First Moment of Liesâ. With the rise of internet use today, shoppers are now experiencing many brand interactions before they see the product on a shelf. This phenomenon (and marketing opportunity) is what Google is calling the âZero Moment of Truthâ. Eighty-three percent of shoppers make their purchase decisions prior to entering a store. This means that marketers now need to ensure that consumers receive a consistent and positive experience â from the Zero Moment of Truth to the point of purchase and beyond. Join our interactive marketing experts for innovative case-study examples and a lively discussion about what the Zero Moment of Truth means for both large and small brands.
Featured Panelists:

Portland Perl Mongers – DCI: A new way to OOP.
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
speaker: Chad 'Exodist' Granum
The DCI concept was created by Trygve Reenskaug, (inventor of MVC) and James Coplien.
DCI Stands for Data, Context, Interactions. It was created to solve the problem of unpredictable emergent behavior in networks of interacting objects. This problem shows itself in complex OOP projects, most commonly in projects with deep polymorphism. This is a problem that Procedural/Imperative Programming does not have.
DCI does not replace OOP, instead it augments it with lessons learned from looking back at Procedural Programming. It defines a way to encapsulate use cases into a single place. This provides an advantage to the programmer by reducing the number of interactions that need to be tracked. Another advantage is the reduction of side-effects between contexts.
Another way to look at it is that a DCI implementation is much more maintainable as a project matures. Changes to requirements and additional features cause clean OOP project to degrade into spaghetti. DCI on the other hand maintains code clarity under changing requirements.
You will Learn:
* How to think in DCI
* How the DCI cpan package helps you write DCI
* That you may already write things in a form of DCI
* How a DCI implementation compares to an OOP implementation (in a generic task)
As usual, the meeting will be followed by social hour at the Lucky Lab. |

Everything you know (about Parallel Programming) is wrong!: A wild screed about the future
Roll back
| description |
In the 1970âs, researchers at Xerox PARC gave themselves a glimpse of the future by building computers that, although wildly impractical at the time, let them experience plentiful fast cycles and big memories. PARC researchers invented Smalltalk, and the freedom afforded by such a dynamic, yet safe, language, led them to create a new experience of computing, which has become quite mainstream today.
In the end of the first decade of the new century, chips such as
Tileraâs can give us a glimpse of a future in which manycore
microprocessors will become commonplace: every (non-hand-held) computerâs CPU chip will contain 1,000 fairly homogeneous cores. Such a system will not be programmed like the cloud, or even a cluster because communication will be much faster relative to computation. Nor will it be programmed like todayâs multicore processors because the illusion of instant memory coherency will have been dispelled by both the physical limitations imposed by the 1,000-way fan-in to the memory system, and the comparatively long physical lengths of the inter- vs. intra-core connections. In the 1980âs we changed our model of computation from static to dynamic, and when this future arrives we will have to change our model of computation yet again.
If we cannot skirt Amdahlâs Law, the last 900 cores will do us no
good whatsoever. What does this mean? We cannot afford even tiny amounts of serialization. Locks?! Even lock-free algorithms will not be parallel enough. They rely on instructions that require communication and synchronization between coresâ caches. Just as we learned to embrace languages without static type checking, and with the ability to shoot ourselves in the foot, we will need to embrace a style of programming without any synchronization whatsoever.
In our Renaissance project at IBM, Vrije, and Portland State
(http://soft.vub.ac.be/~smarr/renaissance/), we are investigating
what we call âanti-lock,â ârace-and-repair,â or âend-to-end
nondeterministicâ computing. As part of this effort, we have build a Smalltalk system that runs on the 64-core Tilera chip, and have experimented with dynamic languages atop this system. When we give up synchronization, we of necessity give up determinism. There seems to be a fundamental tradeoff between determinism and performance, just as there once seemed to be a tradeoff between static checking and performance.
The obstacle we shall have to overcome, if we are to successfully program manycore systems, is our cherished assumption that we write programs that always get the exactly right answers. This assumption is deeply embedded in how we think about programming. The folks who build web search engines already understand, but for the rest of us, to quote Firesign Theatre: Everything You Know Is Wrong!

Come do strange things with computers amongst others whilst drinking fine Portland beer. Look for the row of geeks with computers in the back of the main room.
All programming languages welcome. Come work on your own projects, work on others participants' projects, get advice, have fun, etc.
You're encouraged to bring a computer, but can team up with others that brought one too.
Afterwards, the group descends on the 12th and Hawthorne foodcart pod for additional nourishment.
Also, many people meet up at the pub during the same time as the hackathon to play boardgames they bring which you're welcomed to play. |

Come do strange things with computers amongst others whilst drinking fine Portland beer. Look for the row of geeks with computers in the back of the main room.
All programming languages welcome. Come work on your own projects, work on others participants' projects, get advice, have fun, etc.
You're encouraged to bring a computer, but can team up with others that brought one too.
Afterwards, the group descends on the 12th and Hawthorne foodcart pod for additional nourishment.
Also, many people meet up at the pub during the same time as the hackathon to play boardgames they bring which you're welcomed to play. |

Design for First Person User Interfaces
Roll back
| description |
Following in the tradition of Command Line, GUI, and NUI interface paradigms, first person interfaces continue to reduce the layers of abstraction between the digital and the real. With first person interfaces we can allow people to interact digitally with the real world as they are currently experiencing it. This allows people to navigate the space around them, augment their immediate surroundings, and interact with nearby objects, locations, or people.
First person interfaces enable people to interact with the real world through a set of âalways onâ sensors. Simply place a computing device in a specific location, near a specific object or person, and automatically get relevant output based on who you are, where you are, and who or what is near you.
The technology to make this happen is here today but these interfaces are in their infancy âthey need design help. They need designers to care and focus on this class of software.
About the Speaker
Luke Wroblewski is an internationally recognized digital product design leader who has designed or contributed to software used by more than 700 million people worldwide.
Luke is currently Chief Design Officer and co-founder of a stealth start-up. He is also an Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) at Benchmark Capital. Prior to this, Luke was the Chief Design Architect (VP) at Yahoo! Inc. where he worked on product alignment and forward-looking integrated customer experiences on the web, mobile, TV, and beyond.
Luke is the author of two popular web design books, Web Form Design and Site-Seeing: A Visual Approach to Web Usability. He has also authored many articles about digital product design and strategy. He is also a consistently top-rated speaker at conferences and companies around the world, and a co-founder and former Board member of the Interaction Design Association (IxDA).

Everything you know (about Parallel Programming) is wrong!: A wild screed about the future
Roll back
| description |

In the 1970âs, researchers at Xerox PARC gave themselves a glimpse of the future by building computers that, although wildly impractical at the time, let them experience plentiful fast cycles and big memories. PARC researchers invented Smalltalk, and the freedom afforded by such a dynamic, yet safe, language, led them to create a new experience of computing, which has become quite mainstream today.
In the end of the first decade of the new century, chips such as
Tileraâs can give us a glimpse of a future in which manycore
microprocessors will become commonplace: every (non-hand-held) computerâs CPU chip will contain 1,000 fairly homogeneous cores. Such a system will not be programmed like the cloud, or even a cluster because communication will be much faster relative to computation. Nor will it be programmed like todayâs multicore processors because the illusion of instant memory coherency will have been dispelled by both the physical limitations imposed by the 1,000-way fan-in to the memory system, and the comparatively long physical lengths of the inter- vs. intra-core connections. In the 1980âs we changed our model of computation from static to dynamic, and when this future arrives we will have to change our model of computation yet again.
If we cannot skirt Amdahlâs Law, the last 900 cores will do us no
good whatsoever. What does this mean? We cannot afford even tiny amounts of serialization. Locks?! Even lock-free algorithms will not be parallel enough. They rely on instructions that require communication and synchronization between coresâ caches. Just as we learned to embrace languages without static type checking, and with the ability to shoot ourselves in the foot, we will need to embrace a style of programming without any synchronization whatsoever.
In our Renaissance project at IBM, Vrije, and Portland State
(http://soft.vub.ac.be/~smarr/renaissance/), we are investigating
what we call âanti-lock,â ârace-and-repair,â or âend-to-end
nondeterministicâ computing. As part of this effort, we have build a Smalltalk system that runs on the 64-core Tilera chip, and have experimented with dynamic languages atop this system. When we give up synchronization, we of necessity give up determinism. There seems to be a fundamental tradeoff between determinism and performance, just as there once seemed to be a tradeoff between static checking and performance.
The obstacle we shall have to overcome, if we are to successfully program manycore systems, is our cherished assumption that we write programs that always get the exactly right answers. This assumption is deeply embedded in how we think about programming. The folks who build web search engines already understand, but for the rest of us, to quote Firesign Theatre: Everything You Know Is Wrong!

Alternative to PDX Weekly Hackathon.
Come hang out and write code is a quieter less crowded environment with your fellow nerds.
The meetings are extremely informal, and everyone is welcome!
The place is smaller so finding the nerd herd shouldn't be too difficult. |
