update Calagator::Event 1250465661 NTEN Lab: Data-Informed Nonprofits Roll back

description	Your nonprofit’s compass should be informed by data. Data-informed nonprofits make strategic decisions not just with experience and instinct, but with metrics and trends collected over time that align with their organizational goals and mission. The benefits of strategic data management for nonprofits is significant. Interest groups can use it to inform voting records of political candidates; community groups can use it to understand what areas need more access to recreational facilities, or a network of preschools can share their data to spot common behavior patterns. Every organization produces different kinds of data, but it's how the organization uses it to show its impact and inform critical decisions that makes the data valuable. Why you should attend: The NTEN Lab is an in-person, collaborative space for shared learning, and an opportunity to connect with your peers to explore different ways to identify and strategically use your organization’s data. You'll learn how to find the data you're already producing, how you can use the data to show your impact, and how to plan future decisions based on the data you have instead of the way you feel. In addition to breakfast and lunch, attendees will also receive a complimentary hard copy of our recently published e-book, Collected Voices: Data-Informed Nonprofits. Attendees will learn how to: 1) Create goals that can be measured and reported to your audience 2) Gather the data you need when you're short on time 3) Identify the best ways to collect, aggregate, analyze, and really use your data 4) Foster a culture of data-informed decision making across your team and in your organization Who should attend: This Lab is for nonprofit staff members that are interested in learning how to make data-informed decisions in their organization. It is a good fit for nonprofit decision makers across all departments, especially those who are in charge of preparing, or contributing to, their organization's strategic planning process, or annual plans. Speakers: Michelle Chaplin, Senior Manager of Online Fundraising, PBS; Matt Koltermann, Client Advisor, Acquia; Brett Meyer, Content Strategist, ThinkShout Inc.; Ash Shepherd, Strategy & Process, Minds on Design Lab.	→	Your nonprofit’s compass should be informed by data.

update Calagator::Event 1250465561 AgilePDX Westside: Introduction to the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) Roll back

description	Being an agile organization was always the goal (right?). The idea of "business agility" is certainly older than agile software development and many of us have struggled with the pain of an agile development team in an organization that doesn't understand how we work. Finding ways to scale agility from development to the rest of the organization has been a bit of a rocky road so far. Many development teams use Scrum and I'm not sure that's a good fit for some business areas -- I for one wouldn't want HR time-boxing the hiring of a new developer, delivering the best one they could find in 2 weeks. So just scaling what development does to a larger, different audience isn't the answer. The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) provides, er, a framework for how the larger organization can operate more effectively together. Rather than provide new ways of working, it synthesizes important aspects of Scrum, XP, Lean, Product Development Flow and other agile notions into a sensible fabric for organizational effectiveness, optimizing the whole. The list of companies finding value in SAFe continues to grow. In something under an hour, I plan to deliver enough information about SAFe that you can have a reasonable elevator conversation about it and leave with an understanding of how much more you want to learn (and where to go find that information). Even if you don't work for a large organization with multiple levels of program and portfolio management, the concepts SAFe is built on and how they interact should spark ideas for how you can grow agile ways of working within your own environment. Bio: After deciding against a career in journalism halfway through college, Millard Ellingsworth has been developing software ever since. He currently works for IBM and was part of a small team of facilitators that led IBM Software Group's agile transformation efforts, training many teams, serving them as an agile coach and working as a scrum master within his own development organization. He has presented on agile topics at internal and external IBM conferences and has written a variety of articles for IBM developerWorks where he is a contributing author and a member of the steering committee. You can follow him on Twitter as @millard3 (https://twitter.com/millard3) and on Google+ (https://plus.google.com/u/0/+MillardEllingsworth). He happily accepts invitations to play golf and talk tech.	→	WE HAVE POSTPONED THIS DUE TO THE WEATHER. Stay tuned for the reschedule. Being an agile organization was always the goal (right?).

description

My name is John, and I'm hoping to form a study group to learn Algorithms, Part I, on Coursera: https://www.coursera.org/course/algs4partI Coursera will be teaching a class on Algorithms, opening on January 31st. As anyone in the software engineering industry knows, learning algorithms is crucial to becoming a strong developer. Most major tech companies force applicants to go through rounds of algorithmic design questions in their interviews. Email me at [email protected] or text/call at 501 655 2961. Location TBA, based on what's convenient for all of us. DESCRIPTION FROM COURSERA: About the Course An introduction to fundamental data types, algorithms, and data structures, with emphasis on applications and scientific performance analysis of Java implementations. Specific topics covered include: union-find algorithms; basic iterable data types (stack, queues, and bags); sorting algorithms (quicksort, mergesort, heapsort) and applications; priority queues; binary search trees; red-black trees; hash tables; and symbol-table applications. Recommended Background All you need is a basic familiarity with programming in Java. This course is primarily aimed at first- and second-year undergraduates interested in engineering or science, along with high school students and professionals with an interest (and some background) in programming.

description	nil	→	February's theme will be: HABITS Much of what interests people in QS is habit-related (changing bad habits, establishing and maintaining new habits), so it's not surprising that this topic comes up quite a bit in free-form discussions, so we decided to dedicate a meetup to it. If you have an experience with habits and QS (if you're a Lift user, for example), come and share it! Here's our agenda: Informal Social and Gadget Time - Starting at 6pm Come early to socialize with other QSers and share what hardware, apps, and other technologies are helping you track your life. Bring your gadgets so that we can all see them, play with them, and hear your experiences with them! Intro and Announcements - 6:30 sharp! Show and Tell Just like when you were in kindergarten, we encourage you to share something within the theme of the meetup. It doesn't a formal presentation, and can be as much as 10 minutes or as short as you like. Let us know in advance to guarantee your slot. Time permitting, we may watch pre-recorded presentations from other QS groups. Discussions We'll break out into groups. You can propose a topic yourself, join someone else's, or talk to the people that shared something during Show and Tell.

PRESENTATIONS at 7pm After presentations we'll have more socializing time with beer & snacks. ARRIVING BY BIKE? Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 28th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 28th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking. Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month! <em>ABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade, also known as pdxruby and pdx.rb, is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland, Oregon area. The group welcomes all programmers interested in the language and its implementations, tools, libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails. The group has been meeting since August 2002 for presentations, demos and discussions. Every month 35-75 people come together to share their knowledge, projects and enthusiasm for Ruby. If you'd like to present or have a topic you'd like discussed, please post to the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/pdxruby">mailing list</a>. The group usually meets on the first Tuesday of the month, "Ruby Tuesday" -- see you there! </em>
