create Calagator::Event 1250482273 CHIFOO Nov 2025 - The Design of Change: How Heroes, Monsters, and Rituals Shape Transformation Roll back

description nil Transformation has a shape, and we’ve been playing it for millennia. The Rite of Passage is an ancient yet cutting-edge, cross-cultural design for navigating change and generating transformation. We can find it anywhere there is human change (including in the design of tabletop role-playing games). Whether you’re launching a product, shifting your creative purpose, or leading through uncertainty, there is a common framework for mapping our world from what was to what’s next while helping us create meaning in the space between. We will explore: Why understanding and systemically applying the Rite of Passage is critical for us to successfully navigate and influence, with agency, a constantly evolving, Al-saturated world. Examples of Rites of Passage found in all areas of human change, including within groups, social movements, and transformative innovations. How the tabletop role-playing game, as a microcosm of the Rite of Passage, acts as an experiment for transformation that can be applied to the actual world. An invitation to take part in that experiment. Bio: About Thor Madsen Thor Madsen helps people and organizations navigate meaningful change, whether creative, structural, or personal. He has worked across tech, media, and education, and recently completed a graduate thesis at Reed College exploring how rituals and role-playing games reflect and rehearse actual-world transformation. Through his firm, ThinkResults LLC, he blends strategic advisory with immersive design and cultural research.

Schedule: 5:00 - 5:30: Snacks and networking 5:30 - 6:30: Presentations 6:30 - 7:00: Wrap up and networking ## Presenters ### Sam Keen Description The fundamentals of memory in agentic systems. In this presentation, Sam will start with defining the problem memory solves for LLM based agentic systems. We will then look behind the curtain to examine an example of implementing memory in a pragmatic manner. From there we will discover how this enhances the system overall and see how an LLM, with few guardrails, leverages this new capability. *** ### Presenter 2 (This could be you!)

The PLUG Clinic returns again this month on October 19th, from 1pm-5pm, at Willamette University's space on the 2nd floor of the Ecotrust Building. If you need help with your Linux computer, or want to offer help, you are welcome! Volunteer helpers are as desirable as helpees. Helping is fun and rewarding. If you've ever helped out at a PLUG Clinic before, come checkout the space! Thank you Willamette University, for hosting us!

venue_details nil The Willamette University space is on the second floor. You may enter the building through the Hot Lips Pizza, facing the parking lot adjacent to 10th Avenue. The stairway to the 2nd floor is gated, but that should be unlocked (if not, look for a PLUG notice with a Penguin and a phone number you can SMS to get let in). The off-street parking adjacent to 10th Avenue is "open to the public on weekends", but probably safest to pick the slots marked Guest, if available. Optionally, pizza is available on premises, other food options are available nearby.

create Calagator::Event 1250482269 Tech Talk | Safety & Deception: The Impact on Accessibility with Todd Libby Roll back

description nil How safe is the web for all users and where does design cross the line into deception? From misleading prompts to confusing layouts, deceptive patterns can quietly compromise both user trust and accessibility. Join Todd Libby, a seasoned web developer and accessibility advocate with 25 years of experience, as he examines how deceptive design practices affect digital safety and inclusion. Drawing from his extensive background in accessibility, Todd sheds light on how small design choices can create big barriers for people with disabilities. In this session, Todd will explore real examples of deceptive design, discuss their ethical and accessibility implications, and offer practical guidance for building safer, more transparent online experiences. Join us for this live Tech Talk on Friday, November 14 at 1 PM PST | 3 PM CST | 4 PM EST. Whether you’re a designer, developer, or simply curious about ethical tech, this talk will encourage you to think critically about the balance between persuasion, safety, and accessibility in digital spaces. Reserve your spot today and be part of the movement toward a more honest and inclusive web. RSVP here: https://www.meetup.com/techacademy/events/

create Calagator::Event 1250482268 Cloud Native PDX meetup Roll back

description nil RSVP: https://www.meetup.com/cloud-native-pdx/events/311422780/ OpenSearch - Your Friendly Neighborhood Vector Database by Nathan Boot @ AWS OpenSearch, aside from being a search, analytics, and observability solution, often gets overlooked as a fully functioning open source vector database. I’d very much like the opportunity to showcase the progress we’ve made here at the OpenSearch project implementing vector database operations and making them accessible to developers of all skill levels. Let’s learn how to create and query vector embeddings, the basis for semantic search and RAG. You’ll get introduced to embeddings, vectors and semantic search in this “OpenSearch Vector Operations for Dummies” presentation. Hopefully it will bring a user-friendly path on a battle tested, fully open source platform. Edge Orchestration: Challenges and Solutions by Scott Baker @ Intel The edge differs from the cloud – rather than consisting of a handful of centralized infinitely-elastic Kubernetes clusters, the edge consists of thousands of geographically distributed edge nodes, often with constrained resources. The talk will begin with a discussion of the edge, how it differs from the cloud, and the unique challenges that this presents. After the overview of the edge, we will discuss Intel’s Open Edge Platform and its Edge Manageability Framework (EMF) that was built to demonstrate orchestration of edge nodes, Kubernetes Clusters, and applications to those clusters. The software is fully open source, actively developed, and readily available on GitHub. We will discuss how we onboard and lifecycle the nodes, how we bring up Kubernetes clusters with our CAPI-based cluster management layer, and how we deploy and manage applications to those clusters. We will introduce technologies that enable the edge, such as Intel’s vPRO and Edge Microvisor Toolkit (EMT). We will talk about the architecture and design of this open-source project, and if time and connectivity permits, we will do a short demo to get a feel of the user interface. Agenda 5:30–6:00 — Check-in, snacks, networking 6:00–6:30 — OpenSearch - Your Friendly Neighborhood Vector Database 6:30 - 7:00 — Edge Orchestration: Challenges and Solutions 7:00–8:00 — Networking (and games if anyone wants to bring some!) Who Should Attend Platform engineers, SREs, DevOps, app/platform teams, OSS maintainers, and anyone curious about Kubernetes, supply chain security, observability, eBPF/WASM, finops, or AI for infra/devex.

create Calagator::Event 1250482267 Dorkbot: November Edition Roll back

description nil People doing strange things with electricity! Along with the usual freewheeling chaos, the quick talks continue this month with Daniel Temkin, author of the new book "Forty-four Esolangs: The Art of Esoteric Code": "Software art is widely accepted, but can programming languages themselves be art? The new book Forty-Four Esolangs makes this argument, collecting work by a single artist who poses code as prayer to the Greek gods, patterns of empty folders, or typed in tandem by two programmers, the rhythm and synchrony of their typing determining commands. Temkin will share projects from the book in the context of thirty plus years of esolangs, showing the poetic possibilities of this medium.” DorkbotPDX is a relaxed, informal show-and-tell for electronic artists, circuit designers, microcontroller programmers, retro computing enthusiasts, video game designers, digital archaeologists, and mod synth gearheads in Portland, Oregon. Bring your electronic wonders, monsters, and works-in-progress for others to see, or come see what others have been working on! Whether it's code or circuits, electronic creativity of all sorts is welcome here. Table space with power will be available for project show-and-tell; we'll have a table for drinks and snacks, feel free to contribute to the communal cache/BYOB. The Free cart is back, take or leave some components (don’t leave TOO much, if you have big stuff, maybe check the Discord/mailing list to see if anyone is interested in taking it first!)

description nil Portland Java User Group meeting RSVP: https://www.meetup.com/pdxjug/events/311627978/ this month's topic: Dependency Management for Java applications Details Modern Java systems utilize hundreds (or thousands) of dependencies. Each additional dependency adds complexity to the application development process. Java developers need to think about how to manage internal libraries and external libraries. In this talk, we will share our experiences with dependency management in large Java systems. We'll cover technical challenges that Java developers face when maintaining legacy applications. We will also examine best practices for managing dependencies in greenfield projects. We will discuss standard build tools such as Maven and Gradle. We'll share mistakes that we made and bugs that we encountered. Speaker: Sean Sullivan

description nil Summary: OpenTelemetry is a collection of open standards and industry-tested components that facilitates observation of software systems. Let's dissect this vague jargon and discuss what that actually means for Linux practitioners and how it can be used to understand software interactions and performance. Bio: Jason Plumb (he/him) is a software engineer, hacker generalist, experimenter, and artist from Portland, Oregon. He's a dork who first installed Slackware about 29 years ago, and hi has used a Linux desktop for all of this century. He is a maintainer of OpenTelemetry Android and an approver in several OpenTelemetry Java projects. When away from a desk, Jason helps install free payphones, builds synthesizers, obsesses over cult films, and rides steel-frame bicycles.

create Calagator::Event 1250482255 ProductTank October 2025: Frameworks & Problems Roll back

description nil Join us for the October edition of ProductTank PDX! We’re excited to welcome two incredible speakers, Sarah Crispin (Product Management, Strategy & Operations Consultant) and Justin Wolske (Chief Product Officer @ Yellowbrick), for an evening exploring the problem with problems, and how to leverage frameworks to move fast. As always, we’ll also have plenty of time to meet other product folks over drinks and tasty snacks. 📅 Wednesday, October 29, 2025 🕕 6:00 – 8:00pm 📍 Kiln *** ### Lighting the Frameworks on Fire We learn a lot about best practices and frameworks, but it’s rare that product managers find themselves with the space and time to use them as intended. This is a story about learning the rules of the game you’re actually playing so that you can adjust your approach and cobble tools together to move fast, play hard, and maybe even score. Spoiler: success in this endeavor requires an A+ team and, if we’re being honest, luck. About Sarah: Sarah found her way to product management after teaching middle school, coaching collegiate track & field, and working as a management consultant. In her most recent full-time role, Sarah served as a Global Director of Product at ASICS, where she worked to pivot a legacy fitness app. Originally from Maine, Sarah moved to Portland after almost 20 years in Boston. She loves dogs, running in the woods, learning about big ideas, and sports documentaries (recommendations welcome). *** ### The Problem with Problems: Rethinking Urgency A discussion centered around reframing problems as jobs to be done, and how that helps you build better personas and psychographics. The talk is catered first toward early-stage founders with product responsibilities (others can find something useful, too). About Justin: Film producer by trade, he has worked in EdTech since 1999. Currently, he's the Chief Product Officer @ Yellowbrick and Principal @ Airy Disc Learning. His areas of focus are around digital learning products (with a specialization in using narrative-based pedagogies to drive executive-function learning), media production, lean/agile product development, and early/mid-stage entrepreneurship strategy. *** 🎉 Don’t miss it! Come connect with fellow product managers, designers, engineers, and enthusiasts over drinks and snacks. See you there!

description nil Doors open at 5:15pm. We start at 5:30pm ​About this workshop The foundation of a successful startup is a good idea, but most founders struggle to characterize the strength of their startup idea. As a result, many founders invest their time, money and effort only to build something nobody cares about. If only founders could get a specific, actionable signal sooner. To overcome this challenge, Nascent methodology enables founders to evaluate data from discovery interviews and quantify a startup idea in dollars ($). Ultimately, founders are able to decide within seconds whether to stop the project or continue iterating. ​This workshop is ideal for founders of startups with no customers (i.e., idea-stage startups). You'll walk through a case study of a founder who applied Nascent methodology to their startup idea. If you find the methodology compelling, then you can join our January cohort and apply it to your own startup idea. ​In this workshop, we'll use a case study to teach you to: - ​Identify People in Pain — potential customers who are actively struggling with a problem - ​Quantify the Pain in Dollars ($) — to assess how much value you could create by solving the problem - ​Avoid wasting time on ideas that are unlikely to be successful - ​Make decisions with minimal data (i.e., despite having few or no customers)

description nil new book from Cory Doctorow: Enshittification Enshittification: it's not just you — the internet sucks now. Here's why, and here's how we can disenshittify it. We're living through the Enshittocene, the Great Enshittening, a time in which the services that matter to us, that we rely on, are turning into giant piles of shit. It's frustrating. Demoralizing. Even terrifying. Enshittification (MCD) identifies the problem and proposes a solution. When Cory Doctorow coined the term enshittification, he was not just finding a funner way to say "things are getting worse." He was making a specific diagnosis about the state of the digital world and how it is affecting all of our lives (and not for the better). The once-glorious internet was colonized by platforms that made all-but-magical promises to their users — and, at least initially, seemed to deliver on them. But once users were locked in, the platforms turned on them to make their business customers happy. Then the platforms turned to abusing their business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. In the end, the platforms die. Doctorow's argument clearly resonated. Once named, it became obvious that enshittification is everywhere, so much so that the American Dialect Society named it its 2023 Word of the Year, and was cited as an inspiration for the 2025 season of Black Mirror. Here, now, in Enshittification the book, Doctorow moves the conversation beyond the overwhelming sense of our inevitably enshittified fate. He shows us the specific decisions that led us here, who made them, and — most important — how they can be undone.

description nil Overview Legendary Lunch #1: Reclaim Portland. Retrain Portland. If you’re unemployed, underemployed, or just ready to stop waiting for Portland to come back—join us. AI isn’t a career killer. Fear is. Let’s rebuild community, confidence, and creativity—one lunch at a time. Why This Matters Portland’s energy used to be legendary—builders, dreamers, tinkerers meeting over sandwiches and big ideas. Somewhere along the way, that spark faded. Now, in what I call the Great Portland Downturn, we have a chance to get it back. This isn’t another networking event. It’s a revival—a working lunch for people who want to build, adapt, and reconnect. Whether you’re looking for a job, plotting a pivot, or trying to make sense of AI’s impact on your work, this is for you. What to Expect Real talks, no fluff. Fast, practical sessions on AI, the future of work, and what’s actually next. Unconference format. From 1:30–3:30 PM, you lead the conversations—lightning talks, birds-of-a-feather groups, soapboxes. Actual community. No recruiters or empty pitches. Just people helping people get unstuck and move forward. Sample Sessions Using AI to scale your job search – find better opportunities, faster How to prepare before layoffs hit – use adrenaline and AI to stay ahead Why liberal arts are the hidden power skill of the AI age English as the new programming language – communicate, think in systems, and get results without coding Agentic and code-swarming workflows – what’s emerging at Nedspace right now Staying sane while job-hunting with AI – practical mental health tools AND MORE COMING EACH DAY..... Want to speak or host a group? Great. Submit your idea—you’ll get a 30-minute slot. (And yes, no commercial talks unless they clearly add value to the community.) Who We Are My name is Surj Patel, and along with my ally Shaan Kirpalani, we’re determined to make Portland network like it used to—and care like it used to. With help from Faris Mubarak and Nedspace, we’re hosting this series as part of our mission to retrain, reconnect, and reignite the city’s creative core. The Spirit You don’t need to learn Python or become a Stanford-trained prompt whisperer. You need discipline, common sense, and systems thinking. AI doesn’t make you someone else—it amplifies who you already are. Let’s make sure it amplifies the best parts of us. This is where Portland’s comeback begins. Greatness isn’t given—it’s built. Together. Hosted by NEOU at Nedspace, downtown Portland’s entrepreneurial hub. Free admission with BYOL (Bring Your Own Lunch) or paid tickets include a catered meal. FREE. FOCUSED. FUN. FAST FORWARD. (We welcome more collaborations , reach out by signing up)
