Break into small teams! Build something awesome! Share the results!
At brightnight, we will start with a challenge, break into small groups, then create and code our ideas into existence! We will take the last 30 or so minutes of the night to show and tell. All skill levels are welcome. We'll code in Ruby but those who know other languages are welcome as well.
Come join us to enjoy some creative coding time where we all can learn from each other, try out wacky ideas and cultivate our skills in a fun, low-pressure environment.
New Relic is generously hosting this new event and providing food and refreshments.

Deconstructing Women in Technology: What is the data really telling us?
Roll back
| description |
Stop by Quick Left to see CEO of Consulting Ingrid Alongi give her wildly popular, data-driven talk - Deconstructing Women in Technology: What is the Data Really Telling Us? Ingrid's is passionate about creating an environment for our developers that harbors creativity and collaboration, and believe incorporating women on the team is a key element to what makes our company work so seamlessly.
In her opinion, there are 7 ways to promote a better performing team:
Make a commitment
Host team building events during business hours
Provide ample outlets for feedback to leadership team
Examine your hiring practices: from job posts to interviewing style
Examine your bonus and raise criteria - not everyone is good at asking
Having more women in leadership encourages more women in general
Your job is a place of business where adults work, but it can still be fun! If you would like to see the stats on women in technology, and reasons why females aren't coming up the pipeline, check out the slideshare from Ingrid's keynote at GlueCon. This is one of the talks that you can't miss during Portland Startup Week!
Plus we'll have Q afterwords and happy hour on Quick Left! |

WIT: Opportunity Knocks! How to Get into Tech Without an Engineering Degree
Roll back
| description |
“How do we get more women in tech?”
The tech industry provides stability and great opportunities for career advancement, so it’s an important question - and one being asked around the world. Companies like Intel and eBay are answering by launching initiatives to increase the number of female engineers in their workforces. Non-profits are responding by establishing programs that teach girls to code so they can grow up to be developers. Universities are contributing to the conversation by offering scholarships to young adult females who choose to pursue degrees in Computer Science.
While there’s no argument that all these solutions are valuable and will help further the cause, what about women who want to work in tech, but aren’t interested in coding? What options do they have? In an effort to provide answers to these questions, eBay Portland will be hosting a special WIT Startup Week event focused on looking beyond engineering roles for women in tech.
Five women from the local tech community will be talking about their individual jobs and sharing their experiences as non-technical women working in an industry that is predominantly focused on technical roles. Kirsten Golden, Program Manager at PIE, will be emceeing the event.
Presenters include:
Gina Hudson, Office Manager/Operations, eBay Portland
Heidi Tretheway, Director of Marketing Communications, Urban Airship
Susan Wheeler, Director of e-Discovery Services, Streamline Imaging
Grace Andrews, Co-Founder Business Development, GraphAlchemist
The WIT talk will conclude with a short Q, after which attendees are invited to stay for an hour of networking and have their resume critiqued by recruiters and HR representatives from eBay, Jama Software, Simple, Puppet Labs, Treehouse, and Tech Talent Link.
Date: Thursday, February 7th, 2015
Time: 4:30pm - 6:30pm, Doors open at 4pm
Location: eBay Community Lounge, 1400 SW 5th Avenue, 3rd Floor, Portland
This event is free and open to the tech community as well as the general public. If you’re working in tech, interested in working tech, or simply exploring career options, please RSVP now to join us!

“How do we get more women in tech?”
The tech industry provides stability and great opportunities for career advancement, so it’s an important question - and one being asked around the world. Companies like Intel and eBay are answering by launching initiatives to increase the number of female engineers in their workforces. Non-profits are responding by establishing programs that teach girls to code so they can grow up to be developers. Universities are contributing to the conversation by offering scholarships to young adult females who choose to pursue degrees in Computer Science.
While there’s no argument that all these solutions are valuable and will help further the cause, what about women who want to work in tech, but aren’t interested in coding? What options do they have? In an effort to provide answers to these questions, eBay Portland will be hosting a special WIT Startup Week event focused on looking beyond engineering roles for women in tech.
Five women from the local tech community will be talking about their individual jobs and sharing their experiences as non-technical women working in an industry that is predominantly focused on technical roles. Kirsten Golden, Program Manager at PIE, will be emceeing the event.
Presenters include:
Gina Hudson, Office Manager/Operations, eBay Portland
Heidi Tretheway, Director of Marketing Communications, Urban Airship
Susan Wheeler, Director of e-Discovery Services, Streamline Imaging
Grace Andrews, Co-Founder Business Development, GraphAlchemist
The WIT talk will conclude with a short Q, after which attendees are invited to stay for an hour of networking and have their resume critiqued by recruiters and HR representatives from eBay, Jama Software, Simple, Puppet Labs, Treehouse, and Tech Talent Link.
Date: Thursday, February 7th, 2015
Time: 4:30pm - 6:30pm, Doors open at 4pm
Location: eBay Community Lounge, 1400 SW 5th Avenue, 3rd Floor, Portland
This event is free and open to the tech community as well as the general public. If you’re working in tech, interested in working tech, or simply exploring career options, please RSVP now to join us!
