Zissou Society for Programming Language Exploration
Roll back
| description |
Our second meeting. Finally!
The Zissou Society for Programming Language Exploration (aka pdxlang) is a general programming language discussion/exploration group. The weird, the offbeat, the little-known, the forgotten programming languages. These are the things we discuss and explore.
We've got two talks lined up this time, and we probably will have one more added. (If you want to talk, drop a note to the list or Matt.)
Featured languages of the evening include Nickle and REBOL.
There will likely be pizza and beer, if that helps you clear your calendar. |

November PDMA Learning and Networking Event -- EMERGING TRENDS IN PRODUCT MANAGEMENT AND MARKETING: WHICH ONES DESERVE YOUR ATTENTION?
Roll back
| description |

The Oregon Chapter of the Product Development and Management Association (PDMA) invites you to its November Learning and Networking Event on Emerging Trends in Product Management and Marketing. New ideas and different approaches emerge regularly in the disciplines of product discovery, development and delivery. Examples are design thinking, open innovation and product owners for Agile. As a group, weâll assemble a list of the major trends that weâre observing. Weâll review what the industry thought leaders are talking about and then try to put these trends into context; whether they are major inflection points redefining product management or passing fads that detract from the execution of product management fundamentals.
The source material for this event is based on the presentation voted the âBest Sessionâ at Mayâs ProductCamp Portland. The session will be interactive in nature. In addition to presenting research results, weâll draw on the insights and opinions of the audience during a Q&A session to add greater depth and different perspectives. Come prepared with several trends youâve heard about which youâd like to contribute to our conversation. Hopefully, youâll leave with at least a couple of topics youâll want to explore further.
A special thanks to the Oregon Technology Business Center (OTBC) for hosting this event.

Daniel Hedlund will take us down the rabbit hole to explore how CUPS, and other pieces of the printing infrastructure used by most distros, works behind the scenes to ensure [print] really does, or in many cases doesn't, "print". Don't blow your queue! Come to the talk and learn how DBUS interacts with CUPS, what a PPD file actually does and how to debug why your printer turned into a black hole.
Many will break for the Lucky Lab Beer Hall NW at:

Software Defined Networking (SDN) replaces dedicated network hardware with standards based software running on servers that implements the control plane of switches and routers. Dr. Turbyfill will discus ARCCN's work to provide an OpenFlow standard-based application development network platform taking much of the features and functionality that exist inside custom proprietary software and driving it into an open SDN space. OpenFlow is an API that links an Ethernet switch and a controller. OpenFlow implements layer 2 Ethernet switches as flows directed by a centralized controller(s).
ARCCN is a non-profit organization, located in the Skolkovo Innovation Center, Moscow. Skolkovo is Russiaâs answer to Silicon Valley. Its goal is "to concentrate international intellectual capital, thereby stimulating the development of break-through projects and technologies." Dr. Turbyfill will also discuss ARCCN's relationship with Skolkovo and how ARCCN is building collaborative relationships with international academic, research and commercial organizations to achieve its goals.

Software Defined Networking (SDN) replaces dedicated network hardware with standards based software running on servers that implements the control plane of switches and routers. Dr. Turbyfill, Director of Engineering at The Applied Research Center for Computer Networks (ARCCN), a non-profit organization, located in the Skolkovo Innovation Center, Russiaâs answer to Silicon Valley, will discuss ARCCNâs SDN work and ARCCNâs relationship with Skolkovo.
The Skolkovo Innovation Centre goal is âto concentrate international intellectual capital, thereby stimulating the development of break-through projects and technologies.â
ARCCN is focused on creating enabling technologies for the next generation of computer technology. Its vision is to develop a world class Russian center specializing in SDN âto commoditize network hardware and provide a standard-based application development platform taking much of the features and functionality that exist inside custom proprietary software and driving it into an open SDN space.â OpenFlow is an example of SDN. "OpenFlow offers a standard-based Application Programming Interface or API that links an Ethernet switch and a controller. This offers a model in which layer 2 Ethernet switches are low-cost merchant silicon based devices where flows are directed by a centralized controller(s). ARCCN is building collaborative relationships with international academic, research and commercial organizations to achieve its goals.

âBy simplifying income tax laws for people to have more equal lives, everyone will be more comfortable, able to live more humanly.â
Our weekly Tuesday civics meetings are a structured Q&A, hosted at Collective Agency, open to the public to ask questions and share-and-learn perspectives about this membership organization and about tax in Oregon overall, and the real effects of the real numbers on peopleâs lives.
Many people donât understand anything about tax in society, including myself four months ago before I started learning. Many people do. Weâll learn together. The end result will be an amendment to the Oregon constitution.

Social capital is a key concept for thinking community enrichment, resource building and the social structure of networks.
How does this concept work in games and 3D spaces? What happens to social capital when communities move into persistent digital worlds? Does digitizing social capital fundamentally transform our sense of place and connectivity?
Join us as University of Oregon professor Donna Davis shares insights of a multiyear ethnographic study of digital social capital in 3D online spaces.
She will also discuss her current research, joined by Barbie Alchemi, founder of Creations for Parkinson’s, Second Life’s Parkinson’s support group dedicated to working with people with Parkinson's while raising money and awareness of the disease and for the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
Location: Take elevator to 3R, Turnbull Center's Pape Forum
Please no food or drink in the meeting rooms. |

November 8th Rose City SPIN Seminar
Mindful Engineering
Presented by Lindsay Van Driel
Dates/Times: Thursday, November 8, 2012: Networking @ 5:30-6:30 PM; Seminar 6:30-7:30 PM
Location: OTBC (Oregon Technology Business Center), 8305 SW Creekside Place, Suite C, Beaverton, Oregon, 97008, 2nd floor
Abstract:
Mindfulness refers to one’s ability to sustain attention, in a particular way, in the present moment and non-judgmentally. Although it may sound easy, five minutes of practice proves how tricky this can be. The conditions of modern life and the modern work place, with our hyper-connectivity, continue to erode our ability to willfully focus our attention. Mindfulness is based in the wisdom of ancient traditions, but modernized and secularized to reach its contemporary corporate audience. With academia leading the way, some 180 business schools across the world offer education and training in the field of mindfulness, most notably at Harvard, Stanford and the University of Michigan. Google created a program as a part of their employee development offerings dedicated to mindfulness and emotional intelligence. It is now accompanied by a NYT best-selling book of the same name as the course, Search Inside Yourself, as well as an industry wide conference pulling top tech CEO’s, innovators, authors and philosophers together for two days a year to discuss the importance of mindfulness. Intel’s Awake Inside program seeks to deliver the mindfulness teachings to employees, to relieve stress and build emotional resiliency and competency. As the technology industry continues to shape-shift, large firms are forced to constantly reinvent themselves to stay relevant. Intel’s program, dedicated to Mindful Engineering, is designed to teach employees the skills to look deeply within themselves for the answers to today’s most pressing issues. The program has proven to yield results in both personal and professional contexts, with the ultimate goal of promoting an overall sense of well-being in the individual.
