description <b>---~~~=== DORKBOT PDX GROUP SHOW 2011 ===~~~---</b> DorkbotPDX (http://dorkbotpdx.org) is seeking works from people doing strange things with electricity for a group gallery show opening September 1, 2011 at the Styloid Process gallery (http://styloid-process.com). The opening will be part of Portland's first Thursday art walk and will show through the month of September. Works will be curated by the gallery owner and DorkbotPDX overlords. The deadline for submissions is July 15th, 11:59pm. Primary preference will be given to works loosely classified as "electronic". Secondary preference will be given to work on the principles of: <b>DIS/CONNECTION and SUSPENSION</b>: (bastardized from Merriam Webster) <b>Connection:</b> a : causal, logical, or contextual relation, sequence, or association b : a relation of personal intimacy c : coherence, continuity d : something that connects/communicates : link/transport e : a source of contraband (as illegal drugs) <b>Suspension:</b> a : the state of being hung b : temporary removal (as from office or privileges) c : temporary withholding (as of belief or decision) d : temporary revocation of a law or rule e : a carried-over musical tone which results in momentary dissonance f : stoppage of payment of business obligations g : a rhetorical device whereby the principal idea is deferred to the end of a sentence or longer unit This is a smallish gallery, so one of the goals is to abuse the vertical space. Ceiling, shelf-mounted, and hanging works experienced from below are blisteringly encouraged. Artists should submit a brief (3-5 sentence) description of the work, dimensions, power/facilities requirements, and a 1 sentence bio or self- deprecating statement. Please provide photos, videos, and/or URLs as applicable. Please send submissions/questions to: [email protected] (503)-208-5433 and cc [email protected] → <h2>--~~== DORKBOT PDX GROUP SHOW 2011 ==~~--</h2> http://dorkbotpdx.org/2011+connection+suspension <a href="http://dorkbotpdx.org">Dorkbot PDX</a> and <a href="http://styloid-process.com">Styloid Process</a> are proud to present a collection of 11 works by local artists doing strange things with electricity: <b>Where:</b> Styloid Process Gallery - 625 NW Everett Street No. 109 (<a href="http://tinyurl.com/styloid-process">map</a>) <b>When:</b> Opening First Thursday, September 1st, 2011, 6-10pm The event is free and open to the public.

create Calagator::Event 1250461242 Galois Tech Talk: Leveraging Emerging Storage Functionality for New Security Services Roll back

description nil → Presented by Kevin Butler The complexity of modern operating systems makes securing them a challenging problem. However, changes in the computing model, such as the rise of cloud computing and smarter peripherals, have presented opportunities to reconsider system architectures, as we move from traditional "stove-pipe" computing to distributed systems. In particular, we can build trustworthy components that act to provide security in complex systems. This talk discusses how new disk architectures may be exploited to aid the protection of systems by acting as policy decision and enforcement points. We prototype disks that enforce data immutability at the block level on critical system data, preventing malicious code from inserting itself into system configuration and boot files. We then examine how storage may be used to ensure the integrity state of hosts prior to allowing access to data, and how such a design improves the security of portable storage devices. Using continual measurements of system state, we show through formal reasoning that such a device enforces guarantees that data is read and written while the host is in a good state. Finally, we discuss some recent initiatives to assure the identity of the host and identify future directions for exploring the interface between storage and operating system security.

Sunday 07/31 12:00pm - 2:00pm Target time for launch! Sunday 07/31 2:00pm - 4:00pm Recover rocket, pack up. Sunday 07/31 4:00pm - Evening Possibly dinner in Bend, return to Portland (4.5 hour drive) Portland's premier rocket club is scheduling a public rocket launch in the Oregon high desert. This is the fourth launch of our third generation rocket. We expect to reach about 14,000 feet and to break the sound barrier! It's a 12 foot tall aluminum and fiberglass rocket that burns almost 15 pounds of fuel! If you've never seen a large(ish) rocket launch this could be your chance! This will be very similar to our last launch in October, but with new flight computer electronics. Read about our last launch here: http://psas.pdx.edu/news/2010-10-17-2/ Brothers is a long way from anywhere, we come in on Saturday and camp. You're welcome to join us. For the less adventurous (there are no amenities, bring your own water and food) you can stay in Bend and drive in -- it's about 45 minutes -- on Sunday morning.

update Calagator::Event 1250461233 Tech Talk: Modular verification of preemptive OS kernels Roll back

description Presented by Alexey Gotsman Most major OS kernels today run on multiprocessor systems and are preemptive: it is possible for a process running in the kernel mode to get descheduled. Existing modular techniques for verifying concurrent code are not directly applicable in this setting: they rely on scheduling being implemented correctly, and in a preemptive kernel, the correctness of the scheduler is interdependent with the correctness of the code it schedules. This interdependency is even stronger in mainstream kernels, such as Linux, FreeBSD or XNU, where the scheduler and processes interact in complex ways. In this talk I will present the first logic that is able to decompose the verification of preemptive multiprocessor kernel code into verifying the scheduler and the rest of the kernel separately, even in the presence of complex interdependencies between the two components present in mainstream kernels. This is joint work with Hongseok Yang (University of Oxford, UK). → Presented by Alexey Gotsman Most major OS kernels today run on multiprocessor systems and are preemptive: it is possible for a process running in the kernel mode to get descheduled.

Bring yourself and your laptop, and, maybe, a friend or two. We'll provide food and beverages throughout the day. Come prepared with an idea, and get even more out of it: a chance for your team to be placed in the hall of fame as one the 3 best hacks of the day! Register before September 23rd to take advantage of discounted fees. You don't need to register for the main SPLASH conference in order to participate in the Hackathon, but you may consider doing so for a chance to hear Ivan Sutherland (Turing Award winner), Brendan Eich (Mozilla) and much, much more! Platforms and computing time for the Hackathon kindly provided by Amazon AWS. → Hackathons are participatory event. You don't show up to watch or to hang out; you show up to lead or to join a team of other developers to imagine, create, and build something cool and useful in the course of a single day. This may sound impossibly ambitious. It is not. You can get a lot done when you can ignore your inbox and simply focus on the task at hand. The ability to tap in to high-level services certainly helps, as does the fact that everyone shows up expecting to work.

update Calagator::Event 1250461215 Dorkbot Workshop -- e-Textiles Roll back

description More details TBA → Cost: $25 Please bring: - Scissors - A bag or garment to modify – please choose something made of a non-stretch fabric. Dreaming of bike gloves that light up to keep you visible at night, or an awesome illuminated costume? Or maybe you’d like to add a bit of extra sparkle to your living room with a glowing throw pillow… Whatever project you have in mind, if you’re curious about the process of integrating electronics into fabric, this workshop is a great place to start. Shannon Henry and Cat Poole will start by touching on some of the interesting things being developed with eTextile methods and useful resources, then we’ll spend some hands on time laying out a basic LED circuit and sewing it on to fabric using conductive thread. You’ll learn how to convert standard LEDs (and other electronic components) into sew-able ones, and how to use standard textile fastenings like zippers and snaps to switch your project on and off, plus lots of tips on how to make your project easier and make sure it lasts. No prior electronics or sewing experience required. Conductive thread and electronic components will be provided. Register for the workshop here: http://pdxetextile.eventbrite.com/ About the instructors: Shannon Henry loves to make things that blend the science & tech world with art and crafts. She has been crafting with fabric since she could handle safety scissors, and began integrating electronics into her art in 2008. Her eTextile work has been shown in San Francisco, New York, and Vancouver BC. She also develops sewn electronics kits and tutorials, which you can find at her website, Polymathdesignlab.com. Cat Poole is a one woman instigator of perception bending mayhem. Through “Discovering Empowerment Through Creativity” workshops and Upcycled Electronics, she encourages all to defy their programming and void all warranties.
