Digital Dialogues: Owen Jones Urban Airship Rebrand-For tech people too!
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
This is a combo technology and design event!!
Relaunching the Urban Airship brand was a task that took as much skill as sending off an actual zeppelin into the skies. Introduced with just as great fanfare, the Urban Airship experience reached impressive heights.
It fell to Portland's own Owen Jones and Partners to re-launch both the brand and the website. They developed a new logo, extensive illustrations, a robust icon system, and other secondary brand assets. At the same time, they re-architected their product platform and rewrote almost all of the site content. They then melded the creative with a responsive front-end and an Expression Engine back-end to bring the brand to life.
How did they do it? Come find out as the Owen team discusses the challenges of simultaneously handling a company rebrand and website launch.
Roles:
Lucas Swick - Technical Director
Josh Balleza - Art Director
Digital Dialogues is an event series developed by AIGA Portland in partnership with IxDA and sponsored by FILTER and ISITE Design. Each event provides a sneak peek into a different collaborative case study.

Anyone following recent market trends in the Quality Assurance world would be forced to think about the diminishing importance of Manual Testing. Or should I say exponentially increasing popularity of automation testing. Questions like…
- Do Testers have to write code?
- Can manual Testers become Automation Engineers?
TAO has pooled Quality Assurance Leadership talent from across Oregon to speak and prod this topic further. |

Before starting his own firm, he had extensive management consulting experience at McKinsey and taught executive courses at California Institute of Technology. His books, Developing Products in Half the Time and The Principles of Product Development Flow are product development classics that helped drive the application of just-in-time and other Lean principles within the domain of product development.
<b>David Snowden</b>
David is a researcher and thought leader in the field of knowledge management. He is the founder and chief scientific officer of Cognitive Edge, a research network focusing on complexity theory in sense making. He is an authority on the application of complexity theory to organizations, tacit knowledge, and an observer of the way knowledge is used in organizations. Snowden developed the Cynefin framework, a leader’s guide for decision making and a practical application of complexity theory to management science. Here is a short video that highlights his approach.
<b>April Mills</b>
April leads a guiding coalition for change at the U.S. Navy Naval Shipyard in Puget Sound based on Dr. John Kotter’s Leading Change 8-step model.

April has struggled with and fought against the inertia and bureaucracy of large entrenched organizations and has practical advice for change agents based on the lessons she has learned.
<b>David Hussman</b>
David teaches and coaches agility in companies of all sizes all over the world. For more than 10 years, David has evolved the successful adoption of agile methods in medical, retail, legal, education, health care, control systems, digital audio, financial and more. David believes in helping companies design processes that help them instead of simply teaching them to follow a process. In addition to working side by side with design and delivery teams, David works with leader and executives to promote the use of agile methods to attack the real challenges of their specific industry. In 2009, David received the Gordon Pask Award from the Agile Alliance.

Open source mapping (GIS) Unconference

Hosted by the Portland Open Source Geo User Group, this FREE event will happen on Friday April 18th following GIS In Action, in PSU's Smith Memorial Student Union, in rooms 238 and 296/8.
This is a participant-driven event - if you've never been to an unconference before, the format and sessions are determined on the day of the event by the people attending. No idea is too big or too small. Everyone gathers in the morning and decides how to organize it. If you have something to share, you throw your idea up on the board, sessions get arranged, rearranged and rooms are assigned by the crowd. It just sort of all happens - you have to experience it to understand how well this can work. It's fun!
Schedule:
9am - Registration
9:30 - Put sessions in rooms based on votes
10:00 - Sessions start
12:00 - Lunch on your own
5:00 - Adjorn for Geo-beers.
The event is FREE, but please head on over and get yourselves registered so we can plan rooms and sustenance:
http://pdxosgeo2014.eventbrite.com/
Have geo-curious friends? Forward them this message or registration link - the unconference format will be a great introduction to the many creative things that can be done with geodata! |

QA Expert Panel Discussion!
Come on Over: Eat Pizza and Talk QA!
at
Con-Way
2055 NW Savier, Portland, OR 97209
on
Wednesday April 16th, 2014
at 5:30pm until 7:30pm
Event is FREE and Open to the Public
Sometimes you just want to get together and TALK!! Sometimes you have questions that you just would like SOMEONE to answer. Sometimes, you get great ideas by just listening to others talk about things that have been a thorn for you! AND sometimes you just want to tell someone else about how cool it was to solve a problem, or finish a large scale project. We know all this, mostly because we're in QA too, and have experienced it all as well.
SO - Let's do exactly that! We bribed several very knowledgeable folks with pizza - and asked them to sit up front and let us ask questions, like "What's your favorite method for starting up brand new automation?" and "How do you handle repeatability/reusability in terms of data management in testing?" and "Hey, I've got a stubborn DEV who won't talk with me, what do I do?" (Well the answer to that one IS pizza, maybe even ribs. But that's just our personal opinion.)
Come join us for Pizza and some great QA discussions with a panel of engineers who have "been there, done that"... we have some ideas about what to talk about - but bring your own questions!! Everyone can participate, we can ask all sorts of questions on any variety of topics, so don't be shy about asking! We look forward to seeing you there!!
Agenda:
5:30-6:00PM: Pizza and Networking
6:00-6:15PM: SQAUG Announcements
6:15-7:30PM: Let the discussions begin!
Details:
• Event is Free to the public
• Onsite parking (directions below)
• Light Hors d'oeuvres and beverages will be served
• No RSVP is required to attend
SQAUG is Portland/Vancouver area’s only Software Quality Assurance User Group! We are BRAND NEW, and would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone who would like to participate in a user group dedicated to growing the Quality Assurance field.
SQAUG is made up of a group of SQA professionals who have banded together in an open forum to learn from each other through a series of interactive discussions, engaged debates, training presentations, exploring tools, and general networking and sharing of job opportunities. Our goals are to expand knowledge about Software Quality to all professionals who are passionate about their careers, and take Software Quality seriously.

Intel IT's strategy, application and technology focus and the future of Analytics
Roll back

The DAMA Portland Chapter is dedicated to delivering thought provoking Data-centric presentations that will make you more successful in your job. We are pleased to welcome three thought leaders from Intel. Hear more about Intel's It strategy, application and technology focus, and the future of analytics.
Intel IT has several initiatives underway that address the changing complexities of our data/technology environment:
The computing environment is expanding across multiple form factors, operating systems, and devices with an ever increasing focus on improving the User Experience. Intel IT has taken on a bold objective to embrace new user experiences. Over the next year we will be focusing on Social media, Multi-OS/Browser, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud capabilities; all to increase user productivity and enable Intel's business.
Hadoop and other "Big Data" tools are transforming businesses everywhere: suddenly Internet-scale data can be stored and analyzed with relative ease. But the answers to many strategic, high-value problems are complex and open-ended. Typically they are not found directly in any one data source (no matter how big) but are rather synthesized, by learning from and building off of multiple sources (including what one already knows), and weaving these together with new ideas & insights into the context of the problem at hand. Graph databases and graph computation engines, along with new "reactive" programming models and interactive visualization, are starting to address these problems of complexity at scale, and are shaping up to be the next Big Thing in big data - and potentially even more disruptive than Hadoop.

Computer security guru and writer Bruce Schneier examines the various ways power manifests itself in the Internet, and how security both allows the powerful to remain so while permitting the powerless to thrive as well. On the Internet, data equals power, and the dynamic between the various forces is the fundamental societal issue of the Information Age. |

PDXScala Monthly Meeting
Roll back

Hey folks, it's that time again! We'll be holding our April meeting on Wednesday at 6PM. I'm also happy to announce that we'll have pizza and drinks sponsored by Nick Luallin of Modis Recruiting.
Coursera will once again be offering the <a href="https://www.coursera.org/course/progfun">Functional Programming Principles in Scala</a> course starting April 25th, so I thought that we could spend at least the first hour (which is "beginner" hour, anyway) talking about the course, what to expect, and any other preparatory topics might help those of you planning to take the course. Among other things, I'm happy to give another of my walk-throughs on sbt usage, we can help people with advice about setting up IDEs, or whatever else people might need to know before getting started.
I'd love for people to bring projects they're working on, interesting libraries they want to share (could be yours or one you found online), or even just topics for discussion. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone and hope you all have plenty of great ideas to talk about! |
