update Calagator::Event 1250455827 SAO: When to Hire/Who to Hire Roll back

description When to Hire/Who to Hire Date: Wed, Oct 22nd Time: 7:30am-9:00am Location: The Governor Hotel 614 SW 11th Avenue Portland, OR 97205 Cost: $20 for members $60 for non members Registration Deadline: 10/22/2008 Topic: When to Hire/Who to Hire Register for this Event Back to Event Calendar It's become common knowledge that Baby Boomers, Gen X & Gen Y, each have a different work style and life/work expectations. Join the CIO committee Wednesday, Oct 22nd at the Governor Hotel to learn how other CIO's and IT managers are dealing with the generational differences in hiring, retaining, and motivating these different groups of people. Hear from Greg Kulander, local expert on the differences between the baby boomers, Generation X and Gen Y. Iris Sasaki, HR professional, who has more than 20 years of experience teaching and training managers how to hire and how to bridge the gap between generations, and Tim Kurlio, IT Manager for Multnomah County who prides himself on creating teams that function well together despite their innate differences. All moderated by Lance Kidd, CIO for Halton Company. Iris Sasaki has been in the HR world for over twenty years beginning as a recruiter for Tektronix and retiring as an HR executive. Iris has managed her own HR consulting business since 2001. Among the organization at which Iris has been a guest speaker are included the American Electronics Association, the law firm of Ater Wynne, Oregon Employment Division, and a guest lecturer from Oregon Graduate Institute. She is active as an "Expert in Residence" at the Open Technology Business Center and a mentor for the business concepts program of the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network. Iris created two training modules which were adopted by the Equal Opportunity Commission. Iris' post graduate studies have focused on communication. She has published two articles on the web, the first with Business and Law Online, and the second with HR.com. Greg Kulander, Ph.D. is Director of Student and Educator Services at the Business Education Compact. Dr. Kulander has extensive international experience and has researched and practiced cross-cultural communication for 25 years. Recently he has begun applying this cross-cultural expertise to the issues facing cross-generational communication. (And this interest has, of course, little to do with his having three teenagers!) Tim Kurlio, IT Manager, Multnomah County Tim Kurilo has worked in the technical field for 28 years. He is currently the Technical Services Manager at Multnomah County, Oregon. As a computer technician in the boom of the 90's, Tim realized how important it was to promote new opportunities yet retain experienced staff. He decided to join the ranks of management so he could help create an environment that nurtures the implementation and administration of new technologies, yet retains a quality of life for the staff. Tim and his wife, Betsy, have successfully "blended" their very diverse families of eight children and 9 grandchildren. Learning the core values and motivations of each individual is just as important in the workplace as it is at home. One of Tim's favorite sayings is: "Technology is the easy part, once you get the team on the same page, the work just gets done".

description Panel: Selena Deckelmann, Igal Koshevoy, Jeff Lavallee, David Wheeler This will be a panel discussion about the ups, downs, ins, and outs of relational, row, key-value, and hierarchical data stores (simplistic buzzwordiness: SQL vs NOSQL aka ACID CRUD.) The panel will discuss parallelism, scale, data integrity, normalization, business logic, ORMs, and maybe flat files. They might take questions from the audience. As always, the meeting will be followed by social hour at the Lucky Lab. → Panel: Selena Deckelmann, Igal Koshevoy, Jeff Lavallee, David Wheeler This will be a panel discussion about the ups, downs, ins, and outs of relational, row, key-value, and hierarchical data stores (simplistic buzzwordiness: SQL vs NOSQL aka ACID CRUD.) The panel will discuss parallelism, scale, data integrity, normalization, business logic, ORMs, and performance. Some of the following might be addressed: * why do you want a relational DB? * why do you not want a relational DB? * Membase, MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra * Tokyo Tyrant, CouchDB, old school K/V (zodb, bdb) * distinctions between "relational" and "row store" * how filesystem settings affect the database * how important is your data? * common errors in SQL schemas or usage * is count(*) supposed to be fast? * efficiency vs speed vs parallel cleverness * sharding * what is "scale" and do you need it? * massively denormalized, or massively normalized? * ORMs, materialized views, indexes, and the query planner * typical performance with small/large, simple/complex data sets As always, the meeting will be followed by social hour at the Lucky Lab.

The Smart Grid marries the electrical grid, an extremely complex system based on mature, conservative technology, with two fast moving innovative technologies, computers and communications. It is one of the greatest electrical, electronic and information processing challenges of our time and represents a significant engineering opportunity over the next two decades and beyond. It captures information about supply, system demand, individual usage, and pricing that fundamentally shifts how electricity is used. It enables the operators of the power system to increase efficiency and reliability while reducing costs and empowering consumers of electricity to minimize their own electricity costs. *Learning Objectives:* Attendees will gain an understanding of the monitoring, communications, security and control systems of the Smart Grid, how they interact, the flow of data and control, and design and implementation considerations including: • Information requirements for optimal control of generating capacity, regional transmission grids, and municipal distribution grids to meet end user demands. • How generation, transmission and distribution control systems utilize digital information. • How suppliers and distributors of electricity use information to minimize costs while increasing reliability, flexibility, and security. • How usage monitoring and automation will allow end users to make informed decisions that reduce their electricity costs. • How to ensure grid security. • Balancing optimization of the grid’s subsystems and the grid as a whole. *Target Audience:* The target audience is engineers, policy makers, and entrepreneurs who want to understand the Smart Grid in order to make better professional, technical and business decisions. *Prerequisites:* Attendees should be generally familiar with the electric power system, software, or data communications concepts; a power engineering background is not required. *Registration:* "Register online here":http://www.regonline.com/ieee_smart_grid_workshop2010.

description nil → We are the local R user group for Portland, Oregon. R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics (http://www.r-project.org/ ). Our goal is to support and share R experience and knowledge among its users in the Portland community. We would like to hear how you use and enjoy the R language and statistical programming environment. At our initial meeting, we'll see how many people in the area use R and where your interests and backgrounds lie. Once we've made contact, our meetings may grow to include presentations or tutorials. Come and tell us what you'd like from your local R user group!

update Calagator::Event 1250458951 Portland Linux/Unix Group: Server Sky - Data Centers in Orbit Roll back

description PRESENTATION Server Sky - Data Centers in Orbit Power for computation on a Moore's Law schedule Keith Lofstrom, http://server-sky.com The EPA estimates US data centers (not including desktops) consumed 1.5% of total US electrical consumption in 2006. They predict a doubling to 3% of base load by 2011. Our work as programmers and technologists continues this runaway exponential growth, and we will be stopped by environmental and resource limits soon. Server sky is a proposal to use newly emerging solid state technologies to build large arrays of 3 gram paper-thin solar-powered computation satellites in 6400km Earth orbits. A single server-sat replaces 15 watts of ground-based electrical generation, cooling, and power conversion, as well as the computation and communication hardware itself. Orbital server farms may start out as expensive as current approaches, but design improvement and cheaper launch will decrease costs exponentially over time, much as transistor cost has plummeted over the last four decades. This is open technology, responsive to public input, and the project needs volunteer software and engineering help to stay that way. Eventually, Server Sky will create thousands of open technology jobs in the Portland area, and permit unbounded computation growth in space, while reducing energy demand and environmental damage on Earth. Earth can return to what it is good at green and growing things while we fill space with gray and computing things. → PRESENTATION Server Sky - Data Centers in Orbit Power for computation on a Moore's Law schedule Keith Lofstrom, http://server-sky.com The EPA estimates US data centers (not including desktops) consumed 1.5% of total US electrical consumption in 2006.
