Come do strange things with computers amongst others whilst drinking fine Portland beer. Look for the row of geeks with computers in the back of the main room.
All programming languages welcome. Come work on your own projects, work on others participants' projects, get advice, have fun, etc.
You're encouraged to bring a computer, but can team up with others that brought one too.
Afterwards, the group descends on the 12th and Hawthorne foodcart pod for additional nourishment.
Also, many people meet up at the pub during the same time as the hackathon to play boardgames they bring which you're welcomed to play. |

Portland Linux/Unix Group: systemd

Portland Linux/Unix Group Meeting
Auke Kok will talk about systemd init(8) Replacement
It's a little known secret that systemd is extremely capable of starting, controlling and regulating more than just system services, but can easily start an entire Desktop UI. Not many people have sat down and implemented and worked out the problems of starting an X service, a few UI components, the session bus and DBus services for normal users with the mechanisms that systemd provides.
The benefits are obvious: Systemd provides excellent service monitoring and restarting capabilities, provides socket and DBus activation for relevant services, and overall improves desktop startup by allowing user services to start well before core services like Xorg or wayland start. In effect, we're saying goodbye to XDG autostart entirely, and getting back reliability and scalability.
We converted several desktop environments including Tizen's Mobile UI, Xfce4, Enlightenment and more to systemd user sessions. We "pop the hood" and take a look at the implications for startup, what's possible to further improve on the session startup and where we can do better.
Auke Kok is a software engineer at Intel's Open Source Technology Center, and has been attempting to make Linux boot faster since 2007. In 2008, he co-presented the "5-second boot" with Arjan van de Ven at the first LPC. Since then, Auke has worked on further improving the Linux Core OS start sequence, first for Moblin and later with MeeGo, where we made the first switch to systemd. Auke now works on Tizen, which will heavily integrate systemd in the Core OS.
Agenda:
7:00 - 7:15 Announcements
7:15 - 8:30 Presentation and Questions

PRESENTATIONS:
Michael Stahnke of Puppet Labs will give a presentation on "Packaging". He'll talk about the correct way to create custom packages of software and incorporate them into your devops workflow so you can more effectively isolate changes and improve the repeatability of your configurations.
Igal Koshevoy will present "A Barbarian's Guide to Avoiding Packaging", a short talk on abusing your configuration system. Although not "correct", this approach can work well, save time, simplify workflow, and minimize infrastructure over building custom packages in certain cases.
<i>ABOUT THE GROUP: pdxdevops is a Portland, Oregon user group that explores the glorious intersection of software development and systems operations, and shares practical advice on working effectively in an era of agile infrastructure, server automation and cloud computing. Meetings are usually on the third Monday of the month. Website: http://pdxdevops.org/ && Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/pdxdevops/">@pdxdevops</a></i> |

In celebration of having already executed one successful emergency rescheduled meeting replacement beer-drinking social hour this month, we'll be starting 22 minutes later and roughly 0.7 furlongs norther than the usual time and space.
I will put out a pdx.pm sign. We might be out back depending on how crowded and noisy it is. You can also probably find us with or near the weekly hackathon folks. |

Mobile Portland: Mobile App Marketing: Selling Your Apps
Roll back
description |
nil |
→ |
Marketing your iOS/Android/other app is tough. There are lots of app stores, most of them have ultra-specific rules, and it's easy for your app to get lost in the noise created by thousands of competitors. So how do app marketers actually sell apps within this landscape? What marketing techniques work, and what's up with that black hat stuff that gets crappy apps into the top charts? (Note: we promise not to entice you to the dark side during this presentation.)
At this Mobile Portland panel, we'll hear from Portland mobile marketing gurus Elia Freedman, Andy Rosic, and Dave Howell on a panel moderated by Janet Johnson. Discussed:
* Marketing apps on a budget
* Dealing with competition
* Cutting through the noise
* Actual app success stories
* Finer points of popular App Stores (aka Appstores, Marketplaces, and of course "Play")
* Q&A from the crowd
Bring your mobile marketing questions and an appetite for beer! |

The Great Salt Sprint

The Salt Stack team is very pleased to announce the first multi city Salt development sprint. In true Salt fashion we are hosting a distributed sprint. This, thanks to a generous donation from the Linux Fund and the accomidations generosly donated by C7 datacenters in Salt Lake City Utah, Cars.com in Santa Monica California, and Idealist.org in Portland Oregon.
This development sprint is being conducted with the express hope of adding more complete unit and integration test coverage to Salt, but as always, feature additions and bug fixes are welcome!
The three cities and location sponsors are, I hope, only the first locations where we can gather Salt developers for this sprint. The goal of Salt Stack is to develop something great, powerful, and open. I hope that this is the first of many multi city sprints that will enable Salt to continue pushing forward and becoming an ever more powerful system.
The Sprints will be held all day on the 30th of June. Attendees will get T-shirts and there will be a live video feed from all the cities involved. There will also be food and drink! |

Why should we hire you?
What are you looking for in your next position?

Why should we hire you?
What are you looking for in your next position?
How can you judge how well you are doing in an interview?
How do you address possible Hiring Manager concerns, and make them feel better about them?
How do you move the process forward?
Joe Hammond is a recruiter at VanderHouwen & Associates, Inc. (http://www.vanderhouwen.com) who has seen the good, the bad and the ugly of tech interviews and has been coaching tech applicants for years.
Many will break for the Lucky Lab on Hawthorne afterwards.

Portland Linux/Unix Group Advanced Topics Meeting: Tech Interviews!
More terrifying than Verilog Synthesis... More stressful than a drive failure... More harrowing than an office move...The Tech Interview!
You sent out 500 resumes and you finally get that call for an interview. What now?
How do you effectively present your skills and experience?
How do you make yourself stand out from the other candidates?
How do you answer the three most important interview questions?
Tell me about yourself?
Why should we hire you?
What are you looking for in your next position?
How can you judge how well you are doing in an interview?
How do you address possible Hiring Manager concerns, and make them feel better about them?

Gaming for Social Good
Roll back
description |
As the use of video games becomes more pervasive--think Angry Birds to Farmville to Wii Fitness--it becomes useful to consider their wider impact on our lives. Are they merely useful for entertainment, or can games help create change through creativity, imagination and play? Can games be valuable for mission-based groups like non-profits, NGOs and community organizations? How can game development connect students to real-world problems?
Weâll kick off the evening with a panel discussion including speakers at the intersection of gaming and game development for education, non-profit enablement and youth outreach. Our panelists will explore how gaming and the creation of games can positively impact our local communities and wider world mission-based efforts. Following audience Q&A, everyone is welcome to continue the discussion over networking, food and soft drinks.
Join us to discuss how creating games and game development can benefit the social good!

**When:** Thursday, June 21st 6-9pm
