This Rose City Software Process Improvement (SPIN) event is free and open to the public.
Networking @ 6:00 PM; Seminar 7:00-8:00 PM
Location: Beaverton City Library, Meeting Room A, 12375 SW 5th Street, Beaverton, OR 97005
<strong>Abstract</strong>
This talk reflects on lessons learned from preparing for, presenting, and conducting architecture reviews. Complex software projects often have quality problems and don't deliver all that was promised. Often such problems are the result of inadequate or inappropriate software architecture. Sometimes the biggest issues are technical ones. Other times, the biggest issue is that too much attention has been placed on the technical architecture to the exclusion of other essential factors.
A software architecture review is one tool that helps reveal architectural risks and strengths as well as uncover unidentified issues that need addressing. A software architect needs to compellingly present the software architecture and build confidence that key architectural decisions have been thoughtfully made. An effective reviewer needs to be skilled at quickly interpreting complex information, asking probing questions, and effectively giving advice. Both architects and reviewers can benefit from being aware of biases that get in the way of people interpreting information and tactics for overcoming these biases
<strong>Presenter Bio</strong>
Rebecca Wirfs-Brock, president of Wirfs-Brock Associates and IEEE Software's Design Columnist, is a well-known and respected software practitioner. She invented the way of thinking about objects known as Responsibility-Driven Design and is the lead author of Object Design: Roles, Responsibilities, and Collaborations (2003) and the classic Designing Object-Oriented Software (1990). Through her writing, teaching, consulting, and speaking she popularizes the use of informal techniques and thinking tools for architects, designers, and analysts.
Rebecca is a past board member of the Agile Alliance and one of the co-founders of the Agile Open Northwest conference. Most recently she reviewed enterprise architectures and major designs, developed courses on agile use cases, enterprise application design and developing and communicating software architecture. She mentors teams on agile design, object modeling, architecture, agile use case writing, meshing usage scenarios with use cases and agile user stories, and managing incremental, iterative projects. She practices what she teaches!

PRESENTATION
Drupal
What is it Good For?
by
Lev Tsypin
Drupal is growing leaps and bounds these days, powering everything
from ma and pa brochure sites to Obamaâs recovery.gov. Does this
mean itâs a great fit for any website? Not exactly.
Drupal has been defined as many things, including a content
management system, a web application framework, and community
plumbing. In some ways, this is both a blessing and a curse;
thereâs so much you can do, in so many different ways, that new
users are crushed under the weight of the options and lack of
clarity. In addition, all of that flexibility does come with a cost,
in terms of performance and conciseness.
This presentation will cover some Drupal basics including history,
core concepts, and system structure. From there, we will dig into
Drupalâs strengths and weaknesses, finishing off by discussing the
types of projects Drupal is best suited for, including specific
examples for each case.
My hope is that developers new to the platform will gain a better
understanding of when to approach a new project with Drupal, more
experienced developers will gain a bit of insight on when not to
use it, and non-techies will have some help in choosing a platform
for their projects along with an understanding why developers they
work with select a given platform. Please note that this talk will
not delve deeply into the technical details of Drupal.

The first walkthrough and meeting for the PDX Hackerspace - taking place in our brand new location (finally)!
The space is secured, I have keys, and we are good to go!
The goal is to show the space, and have discussions on where to go from here, now that we have space. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come, so come on down, and bring your friend. Be aware, it is completely raw right now - bare cement, wires hangingdown, etc - it will need a lot of work.
Also, we have no furniture at all right now, so if you have to sit, bring a chair, or sit on the floor. |

It's that time again! The CyborgCamp conference date will be in early May of 2010. That means its time to start planning!
This meeting is your chance to brainstorm on location ideas, sponsors and speakers. What kinds of topics are of interest to you? How has the idea of Cyborg evolved over the year?
We'll discuss volunteers and the wiki too. Come along, especially if you helped make CyborgCamp PDX '08 so excellent in the first place. Bring snacks and drinks to share with others.
This planning meeting will most likely be followed by general networking and fun at a local haunt.
---
Why May 2010? In March 2010, CyborgCamp will make its way to Brazil and back before landing again in Portland, Oregon for its second year.
Questions? Contact Amber Case @caseorganic or MJ @mama_j.
You can also follow @cyborgcamp on Twitter for updates. |

description |
Please join us at software Industry Roundtable discussion! As a leader in the software industry, your perspective on Portlandâs strengths and challenges, specifically for this industry, are of critical interest to the city of Portland and its partners as we begin the implementation of the cityâs newly-adopted Economic Development Strategy.
The Strategy, which was approved by City Council in July 2009, emphasizes job creation and business competitiveness as the path to a sustainable economy, and identifies four industry clusters where the Portland Development Commission (PDC) will concentrate time, talent and resources to meet the Strategyâs goal of 10,000 net new jobs in the city of Portland in the next five years.
We are in the process of gathering intelligence on Portlandâs software sector and trying to identify opportunities for growing the cluster. The PDC and the Software Association of Oregon (SAO) are collaborating on a series of software industry round tables to help guide the development of this important industry cluster. Your participation in one of these discussions would be invaluable in advancing the understanding of industry needs. |

How to Lie Like a Geek
speaker: Michael Schwern
Geeks have a special relationship with The Truth. Nothing is more important than correcting a falsehood, no matter how small, and nothing is more odious than not telling The Truth. Unfortunately, in speaking The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth, the meaning is often mangled and the end result is the opposite, a lie.
Weâll examine some ways geeks lie while telling The Truth, to themselves and to others, and hopefully achieve better communications, easier to understand interfaces and maybe some personal enlightenment.
Some examples include: Lies by omission, lies by precision, lies by irrelevancy, lies by design, lies with statistics and that most
dangerous of words âshouldâ as in âthe user should have realizedâ.
There will be cake.

Galois Tech Seminar
Roll back
description |
The next Galois Tech Talk will be delivered by Amit Goel. Come kick off 2010 with us!
Title: Ground Interpolation for Combined Theories
Abstract: We give a method for modular generation of ground interpolants in modern SMT solvers supporting multiple theories. Our method uses a novel algorithm to modify the proof tree obtained from an unsatifiability run of the solver into a proof tree without occurrences of troublesome âuncolorableâ literals. An interpolant can then be readily generated using existing procedures. The principal advantage of our method is that it places few restrictions (none for convex theories) on the search strategy of the solver. Consequently, it is straightforward to implement and enables more efficient interpolating SMT solvers. In the presence of non-convex theories our method is incomplete, but still more general than previous methods.
* Date: Tuesday, 10:30am, 05 Jan 2010
* Time: 10:30am â 11:30am
* Location: Galois, Inc.
421 SW 6th Ave. Suite 300
