Portland Deep Learning - Fast.AI Part 2 and Deep Learning Book
Roll back
| description |
nil |

ets start by getting together to discuss the first video from part 2 of the Fast.AI course and the first chapter of the Deep Learning Book (links below).
You don't have to be completely 'caught up' on the material but it would be helpful if you have worked through some of it and bring your questions and what you have learned to help others.
We're at a new location that should be quieter and have more parking. There is no food there but you can bring your own as long as you clean up afterwards. We'll see how it turns out.
Also, I want to keep this group format more of a study group, book club, office hours type group. There are other great groups in town that do presentations on related topics. Perhaps I'll see you there too.
Looking forward to it.

Real-world Serverless security with FaunaDB and Amazon API Gateway
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
Current popular cloud databases aren't native to serverless—you have to pay for capacity you don’t use. Additionally, they often lack support for joins, indexes, authentication, and other capabilities necessary to build a rich application.
See how FaunaDB's data and operations model fits serverless applications like a glove. The core of the talk is a live code session showing an app using the Serverless.com framework to run real world queries in FaunaDB. If you haven't coded with the Serverless framework before you'll be comfortable picking it up after this.

<p><img src="https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/a/b/5/600_460215029.jpeg"></p> <p>On Thursday, May 11th, <b><a href="https://secondstory.com/">Second Story</a> </b>will host Women Who Code Portland’s monthly Networking Night in their new design studio.</p> <p><br><a href="https://secondstory.com"><b>Second Story</b></a> is a network of experiential design studios working across the cultural and brand landscapes to elevate the art of storytelling. They build stories you can step inside of.</p> <p>The theme for the night is <b>Make It Happen: Improvising, Collaborating, Prototyping</b>. The format of the night is an “around the world”; after the welcome, we will break into 3 smaller groups and each smaller group will attend every session offered. The night will be centered around how the team at Second Story works collaboratively, how they create prototypes that help them push the boundaries, and the leadership styles that make it all possible. </p> <p>We hope you’ll join us. <b><a href="https://secondstory.com/">Second Story</a> </b>is absolutely thrilled to host us in their new studio!</p> <p>
<b>Program</b></p> <p>6:00 - 6:30pm – Doors Open + Networking</p> <p>6:30 - 7:40pm – Welcome + Around the World Sessions</p> <p>7:40 - 8:00pm – Networking </p> <p>
<b>Session #1 - Improvising To Become Better Collaborators</b></p> <p>Second Story is a highly collaborative studio making work that none of them could possibly produce on their own. Needless to say they have to be excellent listeners and collaborators. So that means they have to practice. <b><a href="https://twitter.com/laura_allcorn?lang=en">Laura Allcorn</a>, Creative Lead and Sr. Experience Designer</b>, will lead a brief improvisation workshop that helps you brush up on our listening and collaboration skills. If the thought of this makes you nervous, please know this isn’t a performance and trying to be funny will be frowned upon.</p> <p><b>Session #2 - Getting Real Fast</b></p> <p>Prototyping is a necessity at Second Story. Their project teams will share how they prototype and why they do it. You’ll get a behind the scenes look at examples from projects with major museums and brands. Along the way they’ll share key learnings and show you how they evolved the experiences created.</p> <p><b>Session #3 - Exposing Unconscious Bias</b></p> <p><b><a href="https://twitter.com/kelseysnook?lang=en">Kelsey Snook</a>, Creative Director</b>, will facilitate a discussion about women in leadership roles. She will share the Second Story approach to tackling unconscious bias with their Make Some Room campaign, an effort to increase inclusivity in the tech and creative fields.</p> <p>

<p><img src="https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/a/b/5/600_460215029.jpeg"></p> <p>On Thursday, May 11th, <b><a href="https://secondstory.com/">Second Story</a> </b>will host Women Who Code Portland’s monthly Networking Night in their new design studio.</p> <p><br><a href="https://secondstory.com"><b>Second Story</b></a> is a network of experiential design studios working across the cultural and brand landscapes to elevate the art of storytelling. They build stories you can step inside of.</p> <p>The theme for the night is <b>Make It Happen: Improvising, Collaborating, Prototyping</b>. The format of the night is an “around the world”; after the welcome, we will break into 3 smaller groups and each smaller group will attend every session offered. The night will be centered around how the team at Second Story works collaboratively, how they create prototypes that help them push the boundaries, and the leadership styles that make it all possible. </p> <p>We hope you’ll join us. <b><a href="https://secondstory.com/">Second Story</a> </b>is absolutely thrilled to host us in their new studio!</p> <p>
<b>Program</b></p> <p>6:00 - 6:30pm – Doors Open + Networking</p> <p>6:30 - 7:40pm – Welcome + Around the World Sessions</p> <p>7:40 - 8:00pm – Networking </p> <p>
<b>Session #1 - Improvising To Become Better Collaborators</b></p> <p>Second Story is a highly collaborative studio making work that none of them could possibly produce on their own. Needless to say they have to be excellent listeners and collaborators. So that means they have to practice. <b><a href="https://twitter.com/laura_allcorn?lang=en">Laura Allcorn</a>, Creative Lead and Sr. Experience Designer</b>, will lead a brief improvisation workshop that helps you brush up on our listening and collaboration skills. If the thought of this makes you nervous, please know this isn’t a performance and trying to be funny will be frowned upon.</p> <p><b>Session #2 - Getting Real Fast</b></p> <p>Prototyping is a necessity at Second Story. Their project teams will share how they prototype and why they do it. You’ll get a behind the scenes look at examples from projects with major museums and brands. Along the way they’ll share key learnings and show you how they evolved the experiences created.</p> <p><b>Session #3 - Exposing Unconscious Bias</b></p> <p><b><a href="https://twitter.com/kelseysnook?lang=en">Kelsey Snook</a>, Creative Director</b>, will facilitate a discussion about women in leadership roles. She will share the Second Story approach to tackling unconscious bias with their Make Some Room campaign, an effort to increase inclusivity in the tech and creative fields.</p> <p>

Emacs Monthly Hackers Group
Roll back

This month, the Emacs Hackers assemble for lightning talks demonstrating the results of last month’s project. Followed by a session of **Hacking on Org Mode Tasks**.
Due to a [posted tweet](https://twitter.com/wobher/status/861784180195303426) about _automatic refiling_ of old tasks, we figured we could hack Emacs to analyze the timestamps associated with tasks and archive or delete tasks that are too old to be relevant.
Our hack nights are collaborative *group programming* and quite a bit of fun, especially if you know little about Emacs Lisp. We pick simple projects that can be started during our hack night, but that can be polished and personalized afterwards.
Hope to see you there! |

The building front doors will be locked. You'll find a phone number on the door to contact to be let in. (You can alternately try knocking.) You'll be directed to take the elevator to the 8th floor. From there you'll find Suite 850 on your right. It's labeled Forge Portland. Straight ahead you'll see a sandwich board that says Collective Agency. The Athens Conference Room is just to the left of that. |

Audience: All people can purchase tickets, both men or women, men are allowed to buy tickets, just not pitch, capiche? Just women will pitch, people of all genders may purchase tickets. The purpose of the event is to give women a platform to showcase their entrepreneurial talent.
Basis: Women are 50% of the American population. Yet, less than 8% of investments go to women businesses. Let’s join Warren Buffet in his vision :”We’ve seen what can be accomplished when we use 50% of our human capacity. If you visualize what 100% can do, you’ll join me as an unbridled optimist about America’s future”.
Scholarship Tickets: are available if the ticket cost is a challenge at this time, contact Mark directly at mark dot grimes at gmail
Of course, the presenters are NOT buying their tickets, pitch events that charge for pitching are uncool.
RSVP ASAP: https://www.meetup.com/Startup-Your-Startup/events/239571795/

Magic Night is a hands on, team oriented, Javascript coding lab, welcoming of all experience levels and backgrounds. We get together because coding is fun; fun to solve hard problems, and fun to work together. We organize into small teams to code up creative solutions to a common challenge, then after 3 hours of building, present to the group.
This month, we're going to build the popular RPG from 1990, The Oregon Trail. To set the scene, you're a pioneer ready to set out on the Oregon Trail. With a head full of big dreams, and a pocket of cash, you've got some choices to make, and many more choices await along the way. All of them affect your and your party's chances of making it all the way to Oregon City. Will you succeed? Its going to take a clear head, good decisions, and a fair bit of luck to make it through. Safe Travels Homesteader!

**Speaker**: Chester Ismay (https://github.com/ismayc) - Instructional Technologist and Consultant for Data Science, Statistics, and R at Reed College
**Abstract**: In this talk, I will discuss the motivation behind creating a data package using the data from the stories produced by FiveThirtyEight. I’ll also walk through the process of creating a data package in R and some of the vignettes for the package that have been created by my students and others from throughout the world. Lastly, I’ll discuss some ideas (that I’d love to work with others on) for other data packages in R that can better serve the R community by helping novice and intermediate R users work with and tidy “messy” data. |

Level up your skills, network with peers, and learn to deliver better products, services, and solutions with this unique workshop from nuCognitive.
Product teams and Service designers face unprecedented challenges as business environments and ecosystems become increasingly complex and unpredictable. Customers have tremendous freedom to choose among competing products, and user experience has become a big factor in many purchase decisions. Time-to-market pressure is unrelenting, while product complexity and technical challenges keep increasing. In this environment, businesses must offer solutions that solve the right problem for the right consumer at the right time and the right price.
Developing solutions to customer problems is a complex balancing act. Solutions need to be feasible, economically viable, and desirable. In other words, they must balance business, usage, and technology. This course introduces a powerful model called the Three-Circle Model that provides a common vocabulary, conceptual framework, and solution life cycle. Teams and organizations can use these tools to dramatically improve solution effectiveness, shorten time to market, and reduce risk.
The right solution, product, and service requirements can be the keys to success in today’s dynamic, often crowded marketplace. Delivering just the features and functions that customers want and need at the right time enables companies to win and keep market share while staying competitive on price.
This course introduces a collection of models that help teams and organizations identify, analyze, and deliver product and service requirements. The course covers a flexible, curated group of complementary models that organizations and teams can use to gain valuable insights into what they must deliver, to whom, and in what sequence.
Contents
-Overview of Solutions - Types and Characteristics
-Cynefin Framework
-Balanced Solutions With The Three-Circle Model
-The Solution Life Cycle
-User experience proof points, terms and concepts
-Diffusion of Innovations
-Applications and Case Studies
Who typically attends?
Product managers, product owners, product planners, product marketing, business analysts, architects, designers, product engineers, software developers, and involved in discovering, defining, and delivering solutions. This course works exceptionally well in an intact-team setting.
By the end of this course, participants should:
-Define and apply key terms and concepts for solution, product, and service requirement discovery
-Explain and apply several complementary models to discover, analyze, and deliver solutions, products, & services
-Apply concepts from diffusion of innovations to refine and improve Minimum Viable Product definition
-Know where to find additional information |

Value-driven Delivery Mini-Workshop
Roll back

Level up your skills, network with peers, and learn to accelerate stakeholder value delivery with this unique workshop from nuCognitive.
The first Agile principle is "Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software." However, in practice this does not seem to be true nearly as often as it should be. Teams often fail to provide early, frequent delivery of stakeholder value. Instead, they focused on spikes, class libraries, infrastructure, and other inward-focused work, without an understanding of their stakeholders and what they value. As a result, many teams start with what is most familiar, easiest, or most convenient for them rather than what stakeholders value most.
Why do teams often become focused on (or even obsessed with) feature development and maximizing development velocity? Without explicit focus on value, the association between velocity, feature development, and value-delivery is weak - perhaps even non-existent. At best, these projects are conducted sub-optimally. Frequently, they fail when stakeholders remove funding because they perceive a lack of value add.
Value-driven delivery is achieved using the answers to three simple, but not at all easy, questions:
1. Who are your stakeholders?
2. What do they value?
3. What are you doing in the next two weeks or less to provide value to them?
Teams often have many more stakeholders than they first realize. Value-driven Delivery ensures those stakeholders are made explicit, and that the list of stakeholders is kept current throughout the project.
Value-driven delivery captures and maintains stakeholder values in a quantified, verifiable way. This ensures that teams can know the real effects of each stakeholder value delivery, and prevents work based on an outdated understanding of value.
Value-driven Delivery also challenges teams to sequence deliveries so that they deliver the most valuable things first. This can have tremendous benefits, generating early business results and reducing the time required for the team to get into a positive Return on Investment for the project.
Value-driven delivery makes a natural overlay for Scrum, but does not require Scrum's use to be effective. Value-driven delivery does not ignore features and velocity, but it explicitly places value delivery above those things as the top priority.
Two other advantages to Value-driven Delivery worth mentioning: First, it is not limited to software, but applies to all aspects of an organization, including the executive suite, human resources, finance, IT, and product teams. Second, it is not focused on or limited to any particular scale. In fact, it is scale-free, working on small teams and teams of more than 500 engineers in a 100K-person company.
Learning Outcomes:
-The definition and nature of value
-The principles and practices of Value-driven Delivery
-How to use Evolutionary Delivery to manage value-driven work, alone or in concert with Scrum
-Fundamentals of several disciplines and models that aid value-driven work, including the Kano Model, elements from Diffusion of Innovations, UX Proof Points, and the HEART Framework
-Attendees will gain enough understanding to begin using Value-driven Delivery in their own work if they desire.
-Additional sources of information will be provided for continued learning.
Who should attend:
Product management, product owners, product developers, service designers, architects, product managers, engineers, business development, business strategy, marketing, planners, project managers, software developers |

Introduction to Balanced Solutions Mini-Workshop

Level up your skills, network with peers, and learn to deliver better products, services, and solutions with this unique workshop from nuCognitive.
Developing solutions to customer problems is complex balancing act. Some products fail due to a flawed business model while others are neither desirable nor useful. This workshop invites teams to shift their thinking from developing a product or service to delivering a holistic solution that balances business, usage, and technology.
The Three-Circle Model is both a descriptive and a prescriptive approach to develop holistic solutions. It is based on the three fundamental perspectives needed for a balanced and compelling solution; Business, Usage, and Technology.
-The Business circle represents the economic viewpoint. A solution must be marketable, profitable, and affordable.
-The Usage circle represents the conceptual viewpoint. A solution must be desirable, usable, and useful.
-The Technology circle represents the implementation viewpoint. A solution must be manufacturable, functional, and consumable (by the industry and associated ecosystems).
These three circles can be arranged in a Venn diagram with overlaps for Value, Capability, and Ingredients.
The Three-Circle Model forms a cohesive and consistent taxonomy that can be used by organizations as the basis of a shared vocabulary, thereby reducing misinterpretations and wasteful communication churn. The model is also the underlying architecture for a solution life cycle. Unlike other life cycles with phases that are based on activities (e.g. exploration, planning, development), the solution life cycle’s phases are based on the state of the solution itself. This makes the life cycle activity and method agnostic, so it works with Agile, Lean, traditional, and hybrid approaches.
Learning Outcomes:
-Describe the three fundamental perspectives of a solutions: Business, Usage, and Technology
-Describe the three two-circle overlaps in the model: Value, Capability, and Ingredient
-Understand what a balanced solution means
-Evaluate a product, service, or solution using the model to locate weaknesses and knowledge gaps
-Apply the Three-Circle Model to a solution life cycle
-Improve communication among teams using a common vocabulary and taxonomy for solution development
-Use the model to diagnose and improve issues in solution development
Who should attend:
Product management, product owners, product developers, service designers, architects, product managers, engineers, business development, business strategy, marketing, planners, project managers, software developers
