create Calagator::Event 1250457816 SAOpdx: I Wish I’d Thought of That: Creative Approaches to Closing Deals Roll back

description nil → Presented by the Software Association of Oregon's Marketing + Sales Forum All the best new ideas have one thing in common: they make you ask, "Why didn't I think of that?" And when you finally get wise, you can only slap yourself on the forehead and promise to steal the idea the next time you can. The Software Association of Oregon's Marketing and Sales Forum (MSF) brings together seven of Portland's top deal makers to each share one creative closing technique. You'll leave the event with a new angle on how to close that stalled deal. Do you have a closing trick of your own? The panelists will also field ideas from the audience, give feedback, and award prizes for the most innovative ideas. The Marketing and Sales Forum consistently gathers local thought leaders to share success stories and strategies that help bolster the entire community. Don't miss this opportunity to learn something new and hobnob with Portland's most creative marketing and sales professionals. Join us after the program (7:00-8:00) for extended networking and a meet + greet with the presenters.

create Calagator::Event 1250457813 An Integrated Development Tools Stack: Soup-to-Nuts Implementation in Practice Roll back

description nil → Presented by the Software Association of Oregon's Developers Forum In today's software development projects there are more tools and technology choices than ever before but few are seamlessly integrated. Although significant advances have occurred in the last 20 years, it remains a challenge to build an efficient, cost effective and integrated development tools stack that enables rapid development, testing, and release. Efficient use of a full spectrum of tools is crucial to any company for productive high quality development. The newest tools can make significant productivity gains possible when used effectively. Panel members will demonstrate working tools they've integrated in their development environments, and offer practical advice for adoption, benefits, challenges and usage. Code Health: Alex Kriegel, an Enterprise Architect for the State of Oregon, Alex has recently helped to introduce a software factory approach to software development at Public Health Division of the Oregon State Department of Human Services. This led to investigation of a wide variety of efficiency-inducing tools. He will provide a quick demonstration of code health tools including static code analysis (PMD, CheckStyle, FxCop), code coverage (NCover, EMMA) and an integrated code review process. Continuous Integration: Tom Waterhouse, a software architect at Sabrix Inc, the leading provider of transaction tax management, has been at Sabrix for over 8 years overseeing the technological growth of the company. Tom will demonstrate a continuous integration scenario where a checkin to subversion triggers a build in Bamboo via Maven which triggers a success or failure email upon build completion, and checkins are reconciled against stories in JIRA. Developer Integration Testing: Andrew Wright, a Principal Engineer at Blackbox Republic, has been building software for companies such as Jive and Iovation for over a decade. He’ll demonstrate a repeatable dataset generation system for databases as well as other data stores such as lucene, enabling developer oriented integration testing to occur in development. This solution utilizes maven, hibernate, and groovy. Even if you don’t use any of the tools listed, there are best practices to be had that you could apply to your tools stack. Come loaded with questions for these panel members to get ideas for optimizing your development tools stack. Series Sponsors: Cascade Technical Services, EthicsPoint, OpenMake Software

description That's right, time to End Bloglessness, AGAIN! Whoo-Hoo! Gather up your friends, family, or any one else you can think of who has been looking to start a blog and come join us! Sunday, October 4th from 12:00-5:00pm Format Each session will be 1 hour: 15 minute presentation and 45 minutes of assisted help. During assisted help, attendees can raise their hands to get help from one of our assistants. Assistants are folks from the Portland tech scene that have done this process before who can help you with your questions. Agenda * Session 1 - Sign up for your blog 12:00-1:00pm; * Session 2 - Dial in the settings for your blog 1:00-2:00pm; * Session 3 - Intro to posting on your blog 2:00-3:00pm; * Session 4 - How to promote your blog 3:00-4:00pm; * 4:00-5:00pm will be an open help time to ask help with anything you'd like. What to expect We are focusing on WordPress blogs for this workshop. We chose WordPress so that if your blog is going well enough and you need to graduate to a hosted blog, you're data and experience will be compatible. By the time you leave the workshop, you'll have a blog that is ready to go and some direction on how to connect with other local bloggers. We are expecting people from all skill levels, including the technically challenged. Everyone will be treated with respect and will be encouraged. We'll be hosting the event at Webtrends. There are some computers available to use, but we highly recommend bringing your laptop if you have one as there likely won't be enough computers for everyone. Help us get the word out! Most of the people we're hoping to reach are either to far outside of our social circles or are offline completely. We could use your help in letting people know about this free workshop to get a blog up and running. We don't care if your motivation to blog is personal, professional, or political; we'll help you get one up and running. * Tweet the link to this page http://bit.ly/ufsYL * Email this page to a friend * RSVP on Upcoming and Calagator * Tell someone in real life using your voice. Crazy, huh? Why is this free? We're hoping to make new friends and be good citizens. We don't want to be an insular group, so we want to enable others to join. And, because we're Portlanders inspired by other Portlanders to DIY and that Yes We Can. :) Help out If you have experience with installing WordPress, we'd love to have you help answer people's questions.

create Calagator::Event 1250457810 End Bloglessness 3 Roll back

description nil → That's right, time to End Bloglessness, AGAIN! Whoo-Hoo! Gather up your friends, family, or any one else you can think of who has been looking to start a blog and come join us! Sunday, October 4th from 12:00-5:00pm Format Each session will be 1 hour: 15 minute presentation and 45 minutes of assisted help. During assisted help, attendees can raise their hands to get help from one of our assistants. Assistants are folks from the Portland tech scene that have done this process before who can help you with your questions. Agenda * Session 1 - Sign up for your blog 12:00-1:00pm; * Session 2 - Dial in the settings for your blog 1:00-2:00pm; * Session 3 - Intro to posting on your blog 2:00-3:00pm; * Session 4 - How to promote your blog 3:00-4:00pm; * 4:00-5:00pm will be an open help time to ask help with anything you'd like. What to expect We are focusing on WordPress blogs for this workshop. We chose WordPress so that if your blog is going well enough and you need to graduate to a hosted blog, you're data and experience will be compatible. By the time you leave the workshop, you'll have a blog that is ready to go and some direction on how to connect with other local bloggers. We are expecting people from all skill levels, including the technically challenged. Everyone will be treated with respect and will be encouraged. We'll be hosting the event at Webtrends. There are some computers available to use, but we highly recommend bringing your laptop if you have one as there likely won't be enough computers for everyone. Help us get the word out! Most of the people we're hoping to reach are either to far outside of our social circles or are offline completely. We could use your help in letting people know about this free workshop to get a blog up and running. We don't care if your motivation to blog is personal, professional, or political; we'll help you get one up and running. * Tweet the link to this page http://bit.ly/ufsYL * Email this page to a friend * RSVP on Upcoming and Calagator * Tell someone in real life using your voice.

update Calagator::Event 1250455639 Continuous Integration in Your Environment: Theory and Practice Roll back

description Developers SIG Cost: $10 for members $30 for non members The Continuous Integration process is often summed up as "don't break the build," but there is a lot more to it than that. Continuous Integration done properly is all about shortening the feedback loop between developers so that any changes that affect other developers are dealt with as quickly as possible. Continuous Integration is valuable to any software organization – legacy or new product development, IT, Consulting, and R&D. This talk will cover how CI works in practice, example implementation tools for Java and .NET, as well as the theory behind reducing integration times and increasing developer productivity and code health that CI enables. Speaker: Patrick Cauldwell, SoftSource Consulting Series Sponsor: Corillian Corporation → Developers SIG Cost: $10 for members $30 for non members The Continuous Integration process is often summed up as "don't break the build," but there is a lot more to it than that.

description International SIG Cost: $10 for members $30 for non members Although offshoring application development is commonplace now, success is not by any means guaranteed. In many cases, the gains made by lower labor costs are more than offset by the difficulties in managing such projects. Finding the best partner, implementing advantageous terms and then managing the project to success are the essential elements to ensure a solid return on investment. The International SIG of the Software Association of Oregon is pleased to offer a panel discussion that will explore best practices on the sourcing of offshore resources and the management of offshore development projects. Moderator David Parker, Director of Product Marketing, Blazent Speakers Will Claridge, Director of Quality Assurance, Tripwire Adam Simantel, Director of Development, Iovation John Gasper, Director of Development, Sabrix Thank you to our Program Sponsor: CorSource Technology Group → International SIG Cost: $10 for members $30 for non members Although offshoring application development is commonplace now, success is not by any means guaranteed.
