create Calagator::Event 1250467267 Science on Tap - Digital Communication Roll back

description nil Science on Tap is a science lecture series where you can sit back, enjoy a pint, and laugh while you learn. Listen to experts talk about the science in your neighborhood and around the world. You don’t have to be a science geek to have fun—all you need is a thirst for knowledge! We’re told that digital is better than analog, but have you ever wondered why your cell phone sometimes drops calls? Mathematician Greg Landweber studies applications of error correcting codes, that is, ways of encoding digital information so that garbled signals can still be decoded. He will introduce several examples of error detection and correction, as well as discuss the limits of these codes. Not a math person? Never fear! Using logic, hands-on activities, and a geometrical decoding machine of his own design, Landweber will explain how and why digital communication works.

description We'll have pizza & beer starting at 6pm, so stop by early if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations. # PRESENTATIONS at 7pm * Markus Roberts: "Thinking Outside the Framework" * Ben Orenstein (host of the Giant Robots podcast, other talks: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DC-pQPq0acs">Refactoring from Good to Great</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9JXH7JPjR4">How to Talk to Developers</a>): "Live-coding Flappy Bird in ClojureScript" * Jason Clark: "Get Your Shoes (Back) On!" Years ago the enigmatic Rubyist \_why created Shoes, a tiny GUI toolkit for writing fun, simple applications in Ruby. Shoes served as the foundation for Hackety Hack, a programming environment specially designed to be accessible to kids. In the wake of \_why's departure, many people assumed Shoes was finished as well. Such is not the case! Shoes has continued to evolve and grow, and the latest revision (Shoes4) builds off the cross-platform strengths of JRuby and SWT. If you've ever wanted to write a desktop app as easily as you write a web page, Shoes is for you. If you've ever wanted to get involved in a welcoming, accessible open source project, we'll show you how to hack on Shoes. Get your Shoes on, and let's build something awesome! # After presentations we'll have more socializing time. # Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month! # ARRIVING BY BIKE? Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 29th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 29th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking. <em>ABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade, also known as pdxruby and pdx.rb, is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland, Oregon area. The group welcomes all programmers interested in the language and its implementations, tools, libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails. The group has been meeting since August 2002 for presentations, demos and discussions. Every month 35-75 people come together to share their knowledge, projects and enthusiasm for Ruby. If you'd like to present or have a topic you'd like discussed, please post to the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/pdxruby">mailing list</a>.

This month's topic To Be Announced First Thursday: General Meeting at PSU Third Tuesday: Advanced Topics at Free Geek Third Sunday: Hands-on Clinic at Free Geek Portland Linux/Unix Group General Meeting Announcement Who: Jesse Bufton<br> What: ownCloud<br> Where: PSU, 1930 SW 4th Ave. Room FAB 86-01 (Lower Level)<br> When: Thursday, November 6th, 2014 at 7pm<br> Why: The pursuit of technology freedom<br> Stream: http://pdxlinux.org/live/ Web-based file hosting, synchronization, and collaborative editing services have made sharing files easier than ever. While these features aren't new, the web 2.0 cloud context they are being offered through has brought them to the reach of the average user with low barriers to use. These freemium services often come at a hidden price of control, privacy, and usually security. This presentation will give an overview of what ownCloud is, why one might use it, what technologies it employs, the services & features it offers, how to set it up, and discuss the use case the presenter has deployed. Jesse Bufton is an independent web designer/developer and sometimes graphic designer. Jesse began his journey to *nix operating systems in 2000. In his most zen of moments, Jesse forages wild plants, hunts mushrooms, and ferments both food and beverage with friends--all accounted for on the blog Fermentemptations.com Many will head to the Lucky Lab at 1945 NW Quimby St. after the meeting.

description nil Hey everyone - our next PDXCloud meetup is in a couple of weeks. This will be our 2nd birthday! Come celebrate two years of PDXCloud with us. There will be cake! And of course pizza, beer, and other refreshments. Right now we have one talk lined up that I'm pretty excited about. If anyone has a second topic, I'd love to get another one on the agenda. Shoot me an email at [email protected]. Our first topic is presented by Ryan Dearing: Building a Fault Tolerant API with Hystrix See how Bodybuilding.com utilizes Hystrix to scale a REST API beyond a hundred million requests every day. Learn how we use Hystrix to build a distributed system that is both fault and latency tolerant. We will discuss the bulkhead and circuit breaker patterns used by Hystrix to provide a resilient and fast API. Hope to see you there, and let me know if anyone else wants to do a talk! As always, doors will open at 6:30PM, so feel free to show up a little early to grab food and drink and do some socializing. Presentation will start at 7PM.

description nil Decision Architecture tackles the tough problem of aligning the best decision-making techniques to the problem at hand and the resources available. It helps structure information to build, vet and reuse critical decisions. It incorporates risk, uncertainty, and stakeholder concerns into business, application and technical decisions. Decision Architecture matches tried and true decision-support methods to each decision requirement. It extends these methods as needed with state-of-the-art analytical methods and makes the best use of modern team building best practices to enfranchise all stakeholders. It helps organizations build decision repositories so that decisions can be reused. If you answer yes to any one of the following questions, then this event is for you! ### Does your organization: • Revisit decisions that were declared final? • Make team decisions by edict or by the loudest voice? • Have little confidence in decisions based on uncertain information? • Not justify, record, or reuse decisions? • Have projects that are over budget and time with reduced performance? ### Guest Speaker: [David Ullman](https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=1915422&authType=OPENLINK&authToken=33T_&locale=en_US&srchid=174828481413913730006&srchindex=1&srchtotal=29&trk=vsrp_people_res_name&trkInfo=VSRPsearchId%3A174828481413913730006%2CVSRPtargetId%3A1915422%2CVSRPcmpt%3Aprimary) , Decision Architect, EA Principals ### Event Details: When: Wednesday, December 3rd Time: 3:00 – 6:00 PM Location: TBD Free to attend but registration is required

description Over the past year, we’ve seen several local technology companies hire executives from major digital centers such as San Francisco, Silicon Valley and Seattle. Companies’ ability to woo out-of-state candidates reflects a flourishing tech market in Oregon where career opportunities are abundant. Typically, there are four elements at our disposal when trying to recruit a candidate: pay, perquisites, benefits, and culture. What are Oregon companies doing differently to attract candidates from all over the nation? On November 20, learn from a panel of heads of HR, CFOs, recruiters, and compensation and benefits experts on creative ways to capture your candidate. ### Panelists: [David Knopping](https://www.radford.com/home/contact/global_contacts.asp) , Partner on Compensation Consulting, Radford [Laura Stepp](https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=1500414&authType=NAME_SEARCH&authToken=sCsB&locale=en_US&trk=tyah2&trkInfo=tarId%3A1414431817763%2Ctas%3ALaura%20Stepp%20%2Cidx%3A1-1-1) , Vice President of People and Culture, Puppet Labs (Mike Temple](https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=23666546&authType=NAME_SEARCH&authToken=_Lm6&locale=en_US&srchid=174828481413910629515&srchindex=1&srchtotal=145&trk=vsrp_people_res_name&trkInfo=VSRPsearchId%3A174828481413910629515%2CVSRPtargetId%3A23666546%2CVSRPcmpt%3Aprimary), Chief Financial Officer, Urban Airship ### Moderator: Suzanne Hanifin, Principal, Acumen Executive Search ### Event Details: When: Thursday, November 20, 2014 Time: 7:30 – 9:00 AM | 7:30 AM networking and breakfast | 8:00 panel discussion Where: Multnomah Athletic Club, Portland, OR Cost: $25 Members | $45 Nonmembers Over the past year, we’ve seen several local technology companies hire executives from major digital centers such as San Francisco, Silicon Valley and Seattle.
