update Calagator::Event 1250463271 Portland Linux/Unix Group General Meeting Roll back

description The monthly First Thursday Portland Linux/Unix Group General meeting Every month we have an expert share their experiences with an exciting open source technology or related topic. Topic to be announced Many will head to the Lucky Lab NW after the meeting → Historically, implementation of electronic health records in medical offices have been problematic. Specifically, poor implementation of these products is the leading cause of failure of acceptance of EHRs in these offices. Implementation of EHRs in the small physician office remains poorly documented and this contributes to this failure rate. To address this need, OEMR (The OpenEMR Non-Profit) developed an internship experience with the Department of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology at Oregon Health and Science University to develop a road map for converting a small physician's office that is still using paper records to OpenEMR, an open source electronic health record, while using open source tools to implement and document the transformation. Documentation was made public on the OEMR wiki (at http://www.oemr.org/wiki/Going_From_Paper_to_Electronic) as a template for future implementations. This presentation is an overview of the documentation completed for the wiki. There are many paths to implementation, but the destination is meaningful use of the OpenEMR system. Special Thanks: PLUG regular Keith Lofstrom was instrumental to the success of this project, not to mention Dr. Sam Bowen, MD in North Carolina and PLUG speaker Tony McCormick. Diane Petersen is an emerging clinical informaticist, drawing from her formal education in clinical informatics and her extensive experience as a clinical pharmacist in a variety of settings. Having completed an internship leading and documenting the implementation of OpenEMR, an open source ambulatory electronic health record and practice management software application, Diane is in her last term of the Masters of Biomedical Informatics program at Oregon Health and Science University. She plans to apply her background and knowledge contributing to the improvement of managing healthcare data, and ultimately the improvement of patient care and outcomes. Many will head to the Lucky Lab NW after the meeting

description Welcome to World Information Architecture Day 2013! Please register for this event on Eventbrite. Come learn about what Information Architecture means and about some of the challenges facing Portland's leading practitioners. Ideal for: Anyone interested in technology, creative tech, business of tech, industry pros, students and everyone in between.  Thanks to our sponsors: AIGA, IxDA, PDX Web Design Meetup Our speaker lineup is amazing! 10am: Jeanne Turner-Walmart Labs  Motivation and Flow for IA 11am: Patricia Colley-Interactionflow Civilizing Information Architecture: A meditation on systems design 12p: Huston Hedinger-Wikisway Networks as a User Interface 1p: Matthew Baranauskas and Noah DiJulio-Ziba Meeting Challenges Innovating on Top of Existing Platforms Information architecture is the keystone of every digital experience. It's where consumer needs and desires often collide with a brand's hopes and dreams. The danger for companies as they grow is figuring out how to integrate new features into their customer's existing experience. Using real world examples and personal anecdotes, Matthew and Noah will discuss how they navigate the challenge of innovating on top of existing platforms using a consumer-centric approach. You'll gain perspective on where to look for inspiration and insight, how to prioritize features into something that is meaningful and authentic, and how not to lose your mind in the process. 2p: Joel Barker and Michael Sulis-Wordlions and Summit Energy Tech, respectively Capture, Tagging and Release of Institutional Knowledge: Delivering Information in the Real World When creating a system to deliver institutional information outside of the organization, the success of the project rests on understanding the requirements and work process of all stakeholders. In this case study, Summit Energy Tech and Word Lions collaborated to collect, organize, and make available the mission critical institutional knowledge that was the foundation of our client’s relationship with their customers. This presentation will cover not only our solution, but the points where understanding the client capacity makes the difference between implementation and project failure. 3p: Alison Stump-The Social Wall Visualizing Insight: Getting Started in Information Architecture Information Architecture has only recently been given the respect it deserves by those outside the realm of User Experience. Often the designs we build are so elegant they appear simple. The average person on the street knows that a menu bar probably goes at the top of the page. In most cases its "common sense". It is positioned on the top of the page because an Information Architect thought about all the options, considered the usability and user research data and delivered a product that just works.That is what information Architecture is. So how do you do it? We will discuss a basic schema, various tools and resources to help you get started as well as key terms and phrases that will allow you to escalate your career. 4p: Dedrick Sprick-OHSU Progressive Content Strategy: A content commitment model   We can have only 80 guests/session, so it's all first come, first served, so make sure you're on time!  Also, food and drink is allowed, but not provided. Please go to Floyd's Coffee across the street or People's Sandwich of Portland to find food, or bring your own. Afterparty @Backspace 'til whenever.

Over the last 30 years, machines have allowed us to structure data in such a way that allow us to analyze the complex interactions between the individual actors in networks. These interactions turn out to reveal patterns that are both predictable and obedient to mathematical laws- many in the academic community are just beginning to grasp the power an the importance of these claims. The ability to visualize networks allowing the researcher/user/customer to quickly understand the structure and behavior of a network is the main focus of this talk. 1p: Matthew Baranauskas and Noah DiJulio-Ziba Meeting Challenges Innovating on Top of Existing Platforms Information architecture is the keystone of every digital experience.

description Welcome to World Information Architecture Day 2013! Come learn about what Information Architecture means and about some of the challenges facing Portland's leading practitioners. Ideal for: Anyone interested in technology, creative tech, business of tech, industry pros, students and everyone in between.  Thanks to our sponsors: AIGA, IxDA, PDX Web Design Meetup Our speaker lineup is amazing! 10am: Jeanne Turner-Walmart Labs  Motivation and Flow for IA 11am: Patricia Colley-Interactionflow Civilizing Information Architecture: A meditation on systems design 12p: Huston Hedinger-Wikisway Networks as a User Interface 1p: Matthew Baranauskas and Noah DiJulio-Ziba Meeting Challenges Innovating on Top of Existing Platforms Information architecture is the keystone of every digital experience. It's where consumer needs and desires often collide with a brand's hopes and dreams. The danger for companies as they grow is figuring out how to integrate new features into their customer's existing experience. Using real world examples and personal anecdotes, Matthew and Noah will discuss how they navigate the challenge of innovating on top of existing platforms using a consumer-centric approach. You'll gain perspective on where to look for inspiration and insight, how to prioritize features into something that is meaningful and authentic, and how not to lose your mind in the process. 2p: Joel Barker and Michael Sulis-Wordlions and Summit Energy Tech, respectively Capture, Tagging and Release of Institutional Knowledge: Delivering Information in the Real World When creating a system to deliver institutional information outside of the organization, the success of the project rests on understanding the requirements and work process of all stakeholders. In this case study, Summit Energy Tech and Word Lions collaborated to collect, organize, and make available the mission critical institutional knowledge that was the foundation of our client’s relationship with their customers. This presentation will cover not only our solution, but the points where understanding the client capacity makes the difference between implementation and project failure. 3p: Alison Stump-The Social Wall Visualizing Insight: Getting Started in Information Architecture Information Architecture has only recently been given the respect it deserves by those outside the realm of User Experience. Often the designs we build are so elegant they appear simple. The average person on the street knows that a menu bar probably goes at the top of the page. In most cases its "common sense". It is positioned on the top of the page because an Information Architect thought about all the options, considered the usability and user research data and delivered a product that just works.That is what information Architecture is.

description nil → Scrum is Dumb, or: How I Learned to Stop Burning Down and Love Agile (Part III of the "Agile Sucks" saga) ----------------------------------------------------------- Bringing Agile into an organization is never a good idea. It is disruptive, complicated, and very expensive. It brings organizational dysfunction to the surface and shines a bright light on business practices that sabotage teams and fail to deliver value to clients. Further, unwitting teams may adopt a version of Agile that becomes dogmatic, inflexible, and interested in perpetuating the "process” of Agile rather than being, well, agile. The only thing worse than bringing Agile in, is trying to get Agile right. The Agile Manifesto outlined some very specific guidelines for understanding the values underlying Agile: Individuals and interactions... ...over processes and tools Working software... ...over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration... ...over contract negotiation Responding to change... ...over following a plan That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more. For the most part, the "Left Brain" of the Agile Manifesto remains aspirational at best. It is interesting to note then that the overwhelming majority of software development projects have chose a "Right Brain" form of Agile, and invariably have chosen Scrum, the most process-and-tool-heavy system to deliver "Agility." Further, a reflection on the adoption of Agile leads to the unpalatable conclusion that Agile has been co-opted by "Scrum, Inc." Instead of focusing on Individuals and Interactions, Scrum, Inc. would have Agile practitioners believe that software development efforts, and can be reduced to users stories, task lists, and burn-down charts packaged in SBaaS (Silver Bullet as a Service). The goal of this presentation is to untangle Agile from Scrum and to define a process that will re-align software development projects back on the "Left Side" of the Agile Manifesto and provide a framework for establishing a qualitative analysis and cost savings analysis for a "Left Brain" approach to Agility. That said, everyone should be using Agile. This presentation will explore ways to bring Agile into an organization, how to choose the right "flavor” of Agile, and what to do when it goes badly – because it will. This presentation will also examine how to expand the Agile conversation from within the software development team, outward to internal stakeholders, and eventually into client engagements.

update Calagator::Event 1250463469 January Portland Area Game Developer Interest Group Meeting Roll back

description Hello all. It's PAGDIG time again! In a scant couple days at that. The next meetup will be this Thursday, January 31st 7pm at the "old" location: the Lucky Lab at 1945 NW Quimby, as the usual space is rented out this month. The theme of this month's meetup is What Are We All Working On. Bring by and show off whatever you're currently working on that's game related: demos of any form and polish level, recent game jam entries, paper prototypes too! Even if you don't have something to show, come by, grab some pizza and beverages and get inspired by what your local dev and indie community is making. We've had some cool stuff happen for PAGDIG peoples over the last couple months: Harold/Twyngo's game Amazing Ants came out. Also, two attendee games have made the Pax East Indie Showcase: John/Clutchplay's Little Chomp and Jared/PagodaWest's Major Magnet! That's a 2/7th of the entries lock down for Portland devs. Check it out at http://east.paxsite.com/peis. Nicely done all. Hope to see you all Thursday! → Hello all. It's PAGDIG time again!

Writing and maintaining documentation involves the talents of a multidisciplinary community of technical writers, designers, typesetters, developers, support teams, marketers, and many others. This conference creates a time and a place for this community of documentarians to share information, discuss ideas, and work together to improve the art and science of documentation. We invite all those who write the docs to spread the word: Docs or it didn't happen!
