PRESENTATION
An Overview of
Berkley DB
by
David Segleau
Director Product Management - Berkeley DB
Berkeley DB originated at the University of California,
Berkeley as part of the transition (1986 to 1994) from 4.3BSD
to 4.4BSD and of the effort to remove AT&T-encumbered code.
It has evolved a great deal since then and is now part
of Oracle where it is distributed with source code under
a dual use license.
Berkeley DB (BDB) is a computer software library that provides
a high-performance embedded database, with bindings in C, C++,
PHP, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, Smalltalk, and other languages.
BDB stores arbitrary key/data pairs as byte arrays, and supports
multiple data items for a single key. BDB can support thousands
of simultaneous threads of control or concurrent processes
manipulating databases as large as 256 terabytes, on a wide
variety of operating systems including most Unix-like and
Windows systems, and real-time operating systems. |

Season 3, episode 8
Get up early and work on your side projects with some like-minded geeks!
TechCoffee is part running club, part knitting bee, and part hackathon. It's hard to work on all of your amazing ideas after a long workday, so instead we get up early. And we get together, so we have the reinforcement of other people up early, too. A couple hours a week can make a big difference.
So bring your laptops and your work ethic to PDX TechCoffee. Or, if you can't be there in person, join us on IRC at #techcoffee on freenode. One commit a week is all we ask.

<h2>IEEE Workshop on The Smart Grid - from Appliance to Generator and Back</h2>
Sponsors: IEEE Region 6 and Oregon Section
Co-Sponsored by Oregon Power and Energy and Computer Society Chapters
<b>Date: September 8, 2010</b>
Venue: Ambridge Event Center, Portland, Oregon; see <a href="http://www.ambridgeevents.com/">"www.ambridgeevents.com"</a>
<b>An IEEE Oregon âSmart Grid Weekâ (September 8-10) event</b>
<b>READ <a href="http://bit.ly/bQYhzE">"FULL PROGRAM DESCRIPTION PDF"</a></b>
A one day workshop with reception of how the Smart Grid provides interactions between the end uses of electricity ("appliances" or industrial processes) and utilities, viewed from the perspective of the technologies, standards, and policies that will enable those interactions and foster innovation and interoperability.
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.
<b>Learning Objectives:</b>
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:
</ul><li>Information requirements for optimal control of generating capacity, regional transmission grids, and municipal distribution grids to meet end user demands.</li>
<li>How generation, transmission and distribution control systems utilize digital information.</li>
<li>How suppliers and distributors of electricity use information to minimize costs while increasing reliability, flexibility, and security.</li>
<li>How usage monitoring and automation will allow end users to make informed decisions that reduce their electricity costs.</li>
<li>How to ensure grid security.</li>
<li>Balancing optimization of the gridâs subsystems and the grid as a whole.</li></ul>
<b>Target Audience:</b>
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.
<b>Prerequisites:</b>
Attendees should be generally familiar with the electric power system, software, or data communications concepts; a power engineering background is not required.
<b>Registration:</b>
<a href="http://www.regonline.com/ieee_smart_grid_workshop2010">"Register online here"</a>. Seats are limited.

The Portland Retro Gaming Expo is an annual exhibition of classic video games and systems in Portland, Oregon. We aim to recognize the history of video game systems and their authors, manufacturers and players.
That said, the classic game collecting hobby is most closely associated with the Atari 2600/5200/7800, Nintendo NES and SNES systems, Sega Master System/Genesis, and other systems released in the 1980s and early 1990s. One can expect to see these systems as well as many lesser-known systems at the Retro Gaming Expo.
In addition to home systems, we have had a larger showing of full-size arcade games to play. |

SAOpdx: Collaboration in Social Media featuring Richard Boly of the US Department of State
Roll back
| description |
Presented by the Software Association of Oregon's Marketing + Sales Forum & Social Media Club PDX
You are invited to join us for an exceptional keynote presentation followed by a Q&A session with a full panel of local collaboration and social media experts.
Agenda
5:30pm Registration opens, networking
6:15pm Program begins (welcome)
6:20pm Keynote with Richard Boly
6:45pm Panel Q&A
7:30pm Program ends
KEYNOTE: Embracing Social Media at the U.S. State Department: If the Oldest Federal Agency Can, Why Canât You?
The State Department is the oldest executive agency in the United States. Cold war secrecy created a need-to-know culture that impeded unofficial information sharing. Stateâs diplomatic corps is selected for risk aversion and trained to obtain many clearances and authorizations before officially transmitting information internally.
Then the end of the Cold War was followed by the East Africa embassy bombings and 9/11. The paradigm shifted. The lack of information sharing and collaboration meant that puzzle pieces remain scattered and threats were unidentified. In this shift, the State Departmentâs office of eDiplomacy was born.
Come find out how State Department has embraced lightweight social media tools behind the firewall to move from a need-to-know culture to need-to-share one.
Meet Richard Boly, Director of eDiplomacy, US Department of State
Richard Boly is a career U.S. diplomat and currently the Director of the Office of eDiplomacy, an applied technology think tank for the United States Department of State. Previously, he was a National Security Affairs Fellow the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, where he launched the Global Entrepreneurship Program. He recently served in U.S. Embassy, Rome, where he developed and ran a program to promote entrepreneurship in Italy. Other embassy assignments include the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, and Paraguay. Richard is the most junior diplomat to win the Cobb Award for commercial diplomacy.
In a prior life, Richard was the first Presidential Management Fellow with the Inter-American Foundation, was a consultant with the Inter-American Development Bank, and founded and ran a shrimp hatchery in coastal Ecuador. He is a graduate of Stanford University and the Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies at UCSD.

SAOpdx: Remember the Milk: Location-based Apps with Amber Case and Aaron Parecki
Roll back
| description |
Thereâs a message from your future and itâs telling you to remember to pick up milk.
Amber Case and her partner Aaron Parecki are the founders of GeoLoqi. GeoLoqi is a private, real-time mobile and web platform for secure location data, with features such as Geonotes, proximal notification, and sharing real-time GPS maps with friends. Geoloqi has been covered in the Willamette Week and Oregon Business. It has been presented at eComm, Open Source Bridge, Show and Tell PDX and Research Club under the alias Non-Visual Augmented Reality with SMS and GPS. Read CNN's article on GeoLogi, "What's Next for 'Check-in' Apps".
What will you learn:
1. Why developers of apps should look at what users want to do now, as well as what users want to do in their future.
2. Why social apps should try to mirror realâworld relationships
3. Why sharing should be about who you share with as well as how long you want the information to be available.
4. Why developers should think about making apps "ambientâ and require less user interaction.
Meet the Geeks

Presented by the Software Association of Oregon's Marketing + Sales Forum & Social Media Club PDX
You are invited to join us for an exceptional keynote presentation followed by a Q&A session with a full panel of local collaboration and social media experts.

5:30pm Registration opens, networking

KEYNOTE: Embracing Social Media at the U.S. State Department: If the Oldest Federal Agency Can, Why Canât You?
The State Department is the oldest executive agency in the United States. Cold war secrecy created a need-to-know culture that impeded unofficial information sharing. Stateâs diplomatic corps is selected for risk aversion and trained to obtain many clearances and authorizations before officially transmitting information internally.
Then the end of the Cold War was followed by the East Africa embassy bombings and 9/11. The paradigm shifted. The lack of information sharing and collaboration meant that puzzle pieces remain scattered and threats were unidentified. In this shift, the State Departmentâs office of eDiplomacy was born.
Come find out how State Department has embraced lightweight social media tools behind the firewall to move from a need-to-know culture to need-to-share one.
Meet Richard Boly, Director of eDiplomacy, US Department of State
Richard Boly is a career U.S. diplomat and currently the Director of the Office of eDiplomacy, an applied technology think tank for the United States Department of State. Previously, he was a National Security Affairs Fellow the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, where he launched the Global Entrepreneurship Program. He recently served in U.S. Embassy, Rome, where he developed and ran a program to promote entrepreneurship in Italy. Other embassy assignments include the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, and Paraguay. Richard is the most junior diplomat to win the Cobb Award for commercial diplomacy.
In a prior life, Richard was the first Presidential Management Fellow with the Inter-American Foundation, was a consultant with the Inter-American Development Bank, and founded and ran a shrimp hatchery in coastal Ecuador. He is a graduate of Stanford University and the Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies at UCSD.

The theme of the meeting is the new features of Xcode 4. Brandon, Rich and I will be dividing them up; if anyone else wants to join in, just let me know!
Everyone needs to be under the Apple NDA; the easiest way to do that is to sign up for the Mac or iOS developer program (the free registration is fine).
A general Q&A session will follow the presentations, and then we will adjourn for beer.
(Note, the entrance to BrainSilo is in the back of the building!) |
