description nil → How can we create community based game development for social good? Hosted by the 4th Annual Emergent Learning Commons conference. Presenters: Valerie Egan of Donate Life Northwest Brandon Bozzi of Game It Forward Local game developers Corvus Elrod, David Galiel and Wolfgang Wozniak Hackathons and game jams often suffer from top-down approaches led by technology rather than the needs of users and clients. We flip this by inviting NPOs and NGOs to share their missions, goals and challenges; and, one of our case studies comes from Donate Life Northwest, an organ donation non-profit seeking to update their video game Scalpel Pal. Our panel explores ways to approach the challenges of these NPOs and NGOs through game-based design perspectives. Following the conference, we will be hosting a startup game jam, Guts for Glory, to develop games for Donate Life Northwest.

update Calagator::Event 1250462945 Plug into the Supercloud- CS Colloquium Roll back

description Hakim Weatherspoon, Assistant Professor, Cornell University Abstract: Cloud computing is often compared to the power utility model as part of a trend towards the commoditization of computing resources. However, today's cloud providers do not simply supply raw computing resources as a commodity, but also act as distributors, dictating cloud services that are not compatible across providers. In this talk, I will discuss a new cloud service distribution layer, called a Supercloud, that is completely decoupled from the cloud provider. A Supercloud give its users the illusion of their own homogenized private cloud (albeit, layered on top of one or more third-party providers). Under the hood, the Supercloud can include different hypervisors, hardware architectures, storage subsystems, and connectivity fabrics. Leveraging a nested paravirtualization layer called the Xen-Blanket, the Supercloud maintains the control necessary to implement hypervisor-level services and management. Using the Xen-Blanket to transform various cloud provider services into a unified offering, we have deployed a Supercloud across Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), IBM, and Cornell University, and performed live VM migration between the different sites. Furthermore, Superclouds create opportunities to exploit resource management techniques that providers do not expose, like resource oversubscription, and ultimately can reduce costs for users. Bio: Hakim Weatherspoon is an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University. His research interests cover various aspects of fault-tolerance, reliability, security, and performance of large Internet-scale systems such as cloud computing and distributed systems. Professor Weatherspoon received his Ph.D. from University of California at Berkeley and B.S. from University of Washington. He is an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow and recipient of an NSF CAREER award, DARPA Computer Science Study Panel (CSSP), IBM Faculty Award, the NetApp Faculty Fellowship, Intel Early Career Faculty Honor, and the Future Internet Architecture award from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

This gives everyone an opportunity to bring to the table the things that interest them the most, and talk about emerging topics that are still new and exploratory. We value open participation, providing access to new voices, and lowering barriers to participation. As a result, the event is driven by the interests and talents of the participants. To attend, you'll need to have signed up at http://wherecamppdx5.eventbrite.com/ by the party time!

create Calagator::Event 1250462951 CHIFOO Presents: Current Trends in Gesture and Body Tracking Interfaces Roll back

description nil → Omek Interactive provides the most advanced tools for incorporating gesture recognition and full body tracking into your applications. We will talk about trends in gesture interface development—what are the challenges for developing gesture interfaces, and where is gesture being incorporated (TVs, games, digital signage, medical, museums, sports, home automation, etc.). We’ll discuss how to make your applications easier to use. We’ll talk about workflows to make developing applications more efficient in terms of time and cost. We’ll explain our gesture library and why having a set of predefined gestures allows you to develop rapidly and reduce your time to market. OMEK will demonstrate a system with gesture and body tracking. About the Speaker Jonathan joined Omek full time after serving as advisor to the company, and board director, over a span of more than three years.

create Calagator::Event 1250462948 Growth Hacking Workshop: Lean Marketing for Startups Roll back

description nil → Are you struggling trying to figure out how to get customers for your product? Do you want your product to grow virally? Growth Hacking: Lean Marketing for Startups is a workshop at General Assembly designed to help early-stage startups think critically about the problem of user growth. Because figuring out how to get new users at a startup can sometimes feel like being a chicken running around with its head cut off, we've created an interactive and friendly environment for learning the frameworks, tactics and best practices of growth hacking. If you're at a startup trying to launch a product, its essential that you arm yourself with a solid understanding of growth hacking and the strategies you need to succeed. With the right framework, you'll know what the hell to do and where to focus your efforts for the highest return. Come with questions, and be ready to have some fun and build a few things! In this workshop we'll cover growth hacking principles to get you on the right path. We'll spend about half the class setting up some basic growth hacks ourselves. What we'll learn: Mapping out your product's user flow The 5 key user lifecycle stages – i.e. the Growth Hacking Funnel Moving users between user states Building a viral campaign Building and execute an A/B test Identifying your most valuable acquisition channels Optimizing site conversions Increasing user retention & engagement Prerequisites: You should bring a laptop to class. It helps to come in with a specific product or project in mind. Mattan Griffel runs the world's growth hacking agency based out of New York City. He has helped launch over a dozen companies and products. He's a regular teacher at General Assembly and NY Ambassador to the Sandbox Network, a collection of young leaders under 30. Mattan organized the first-ever Social Activity Summit and Assembled Fashion in NYC. He has spoken about growth hacking at various industry events – including at Bloomberg, Internet Week, and Social Media Week – and has been featured in BusinessWeek, Mashable and The Next Web.

update Calagator::Event 1250462946 Plug into the Supercloud- CS Colloquium Roll back

description Hakim Weatherspoon, Assistant Professor, Cornell University Abstract: Cloud computing is often compared to the power utility model as part of a trend towards the commoditization of computing resources. However, today's cloud providers do not simply supply raw computing resources as a commodity, but also act as distributors, dictating cloud services that are not compatible across providers. In this talk, I will discuss a new cloud service distribution layer, called a Supercloud, that is completely decoupled from the cloud provider. A Supercloud give its users the illusion of their own homogenized private cloud (albeit, layered on top of one or more third-party providers). Under the hood, the Supercloud can include different hypervisors, hardware architectures, storage subsystems, and connectivity fabrics. Leveraging a nested paravirtualization layer called the Xen-Blanket, the Supercloud maintains the control necessary to implement hypervisor-level services and management. Using the Xen-Blanket to transform various cloud provider services into a unified offering, we have deployed a Supercloud across Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), IBM, and Cornell University, and performed live VM migration between the different sites. Furthermore, Superclouds create opportunities to exploit resource management techniques that providers do not expose, like resource oversubscription, and ultimately can reduce costs for users. Bio: Hakim Weatherspoon is an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University. His research interests cover various aspects of fault-tolerance, reliability, security, and performance of large Internet-scale systems such as cloud computing and distributed systems. Professor Weatherspoon received his Ph.D. from University of California at Berkeley and B.S. from University of Washington. He is an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow and recipient of an NSF CAREER award, DARPA Computer Science Study Panel (CSSP), IBM Faculty Award, the NetApp Faculty Fellowship, Intel Early Career Faculty Honor, and the Future Internet Architecture award from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

update Calagator::Event 1250462944 Robust-first computing: Beyond correctness and efficiency Colloquium Roll back

description Dave Ackley, Computer Science Department, University of New Mexico Efficiency and robustness are mortal enemies, inherently opposed on the value of redundancy, which robustness requires but efficiency eliminates. This talk argues that, by emphasizing efficiency alone, computer science is often optimizing the wrong thing, and we could do better, and should, by recognizing and managing the tradeoff explicitly. An illustration of efficiency's costs is presented, along with discussion of possible computing mechanisms when robustness is emphasized even over correctness. Bio: David H. Ackley is an associate professor of Computer Science at the University of New Mexico, with degrees from Tufts and Carnegie Mellon. Over twenty-five years his research contributions have involved neural networks and machine learning, evolutionary algorithms and artificial life, and biological approaches to computer security and computer architecture. → Dave Ackley, Computer Science Department, University of New Mexico Efficiency and robustness are mortal enemies, inherently opposed on the value of redundancy, which robustness requires but efficiency eliminates.
