Portland Linux/Unix Group General Monthly Meeting: How I Record and Stream PLUG Talks, Edward Koenig
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
Summary:
A simple tour of the various gadgetry and open source software I pressed into service to record video and audio of these fine PLUG talks for those folks who can't attend the meeting. The tools are just stuff I had laying about and repurposed into a frankensteinesque portable video streaming studio. Software discussed: OBS Studio, Audacity, Kdenlive, cURL, Bash shell scripting. Hardware: GoPro Hero 13, Macbook Pro 2017, Yeti Blue USB microphone.
Bio:
Ed wanted to be a chemist ever since he burned holes in the kitchen table with his Gilbert Chemistry Set (he still has the experiment card deck). As the personal computer revolution took off and became a laboratory tool, he learned few programming languages; some just for the fun of it (BASIC, C, FORTRAN, COBOL, Assembly). He converted to shareware and open source software for every day tasks (well, games really...). As a hobby and a side hustle, he built new rebuilt old computers from recycled parts before it was cool to do so. An acolyte of Linux for nigh on 30+ years now, his preferred operating system of choice: Slackware64 Linux.

Cheap, Fast, Scalable: Introducing Analytics with Open Source ClickHouse®
Real-time analytic databases are indispensable tools for quick insights on large datasets, and ClickHouse currently leads the pack in speed and usage. This talk shows the major features that make ClickHouse popular for real-time analytics and provides a jumping off point to build your own apps. We’ll explain internals of ClickHouse and provide explicit guidance on when to reach for it. (And when not to.;) We will also demo new work from Altinity that adds separable compute and storage using shared Apache Iceberg tables. We’ll include thoughts on design patterns for using PostgreSQL and ClickHouse productively together.
Clickhouse is a horizontally scaling columnar database that absolutely rips. Huge datasets, JSON, partitioning, sharding, aggregations, JOINs: Clickhouse handles massive queries in milliseconds. We are so excited to host Robert and have him introduce another open source database Clickhouse. Robert has been working on databases since 1982, from pre-relational systems through modern analytic DBMS, with a focus on distributed systems and transaction processing He has worked principally with open source databases since 2006 and Kubernetes since 2018. His day job is running Altinity, a ClickHouse vendor.
Looking forward to seeing you all there. |

Agenda:
5:00pm to 5:30pm – Munchies and Networking! Food sponsored by Red Hat

Kelsey is a renowned software engineer, developer advocate, and speaker—celebrated for his role in shaping Kubernetes and cloud-native infrastructure, and previously a Distinguished Engineer at Google Cloud
6:15pm - The -ization of Containerization by Eric Ernst, Apple
The recent open sourcing of Apple Containerization framework and Container tooling projects enable developers to create and run Linux container images directly on their Mac in a way that focuses on security and privacy. In this talk we’ll talk about the container CLI tool and how it utilizes Containerization to provide simple yet powerful functionality to build, run and deploy Linux containers on Mac. We’ll talk about the architecture, why we wrote the framework and tool in Swift, what future development looks like, and how the community can get involved.
6:45pm - Kubernetes Operators by Wuxin Zeng, Red Hat
7:30pm – Networking and Board games!
None of this would be possible without our amazing sponsors:
Thanks to Reperio Health for sponsoring the meetup space

The Willamette University space is on the second floor. You may enter the building through the Hot Lips Pizza, facing the parking lot adjacent to 10th Avenue. The stairway to the 2nd floor is gated, but that should be unlocked (if not, look for a PLUG notice with a Penguin and a phone number you can SMS to get let in). The elevator should work. The off-street parking adjacent to 10th Avenue is "open to the public on weekends", but probably safest to pick the slots marked Guest, if available.
Optionally, pizza is available on premises, other food options are available nearby. |

Top 1% of highest earners in the US aren’t investment bankers or tech entrepreneurs- they are small business owners (According to this WSJ post titled Stealthy Wealthy). Franchising is the most accessible and risk-adjusted way for becoming an SMB owner
There are tons of untapped opportunities for building real wealth in the service sectors. HVACs, chicken, laundromats and home services might be unsexy, but they’re often cash machines that produce sustained long-term profits.
Come network with brands, SMB owners and other aspiring entrepreneurs. |

Great partnerships can give you:

- One great partnership can be worth 1,000 cold calls
Workshop agenda:
9:30 - 10:30am - Presentation/Overview & Q&A
10:45-12:00pm - Optional Workshop
Lesley will randomly pick 1-2 startups in the room to do live outreach to prospective partners. Attendees will come away with a map for how to do partner outreach.
Bio: Lesley Carstens is a Go-To-Market Strategist with 20+ years of experience driving growth through high-value strategic alliances for both Fortune 500 companies and startups. She’s advised business luminaries like Keith Ferrazzi and Jay Abraham, and believes your next big opportunity is already in someone else’s network — you just need to unlock it. https://www.linkedin.com/in/lesleycarstens/ |

The 43rd Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference will be held October 13-15, 2025. The conference theme is "QI: Increase your Quality Intelligence" - many aspects of quality go beyond testing. Quality is relevant to design, manufacturing, code, applications, user experience, writing/prose, and many other areas that may not be obvious. We invite everyone to submit talks on a broad range of subjects and issue this challenge along with it: "What can I do to increase the overall quality intelligence of myself, my team, and the greater community?"
PNSQC 2025 is both an in-person and online event, even offering a FREE virtual track to watch our keynotes and invited speakers. Early bird pricing for our full conference lasts until September 15th!
Register online at: [https://pnsqc.org/register](https://pnsqc.org/register)
Tracks Include - Quality Engineering (Process & Methods, Tools & Technologies) - Management, Leadership, People & Enterprise IT Quality - AI and Emerging Technologies
Our industry learns from working with education, healthcare, manufacturing, government sectors, and more. What can those other industries learn from us? Come and find out at PNSQC 2025. |

Hardware Happy Hour is an informal way to socialize, show off your projects, and talk about the world of hardware.
At Hardware Happy Hour Portland we welcome anyone interested in any kind of hardware from beginner to expert: Arduino DIYers, engineers, hardware start up founders, e-textile experimenters, LED-curious folks, 3D printing enthusiasts or robotics geeks.
If you’re working on something even vaguely related please do bring it along. No presentations, no pitch decks, just projects and conversation. Join us and nerd out about electronics!
We have a nerdy sticker and swag swap box for members of this meetup so if you have any stickers or small items like pens or socks to donate to our little collection please bring it along.
If you have interesting dev boards or cool kits gathering dust on your shelves, feel free bring it along and swap it for someone else’s neglected hardware, some really cool stickers, or just donate it. |
