Free Geek Town Hall Meeting

Your local community technology center has recently changed the way it is governed and this is your chance to have a say in the future of Free Geek.
On Sunday October 2nd at 12pm, Free Geek will hold its first Town Hall Meeting at the Eagles Lodge on SE 50th and Hawthorne. During the meeting you will get the opportunity to hear reports on Free Geekâs progress from staff and the Board of Directors. You will be able to voice your ideas and brainstorm big-picture issues with other volunteers. You will have the chance to participate in workshops, discussions, and Q & A sessions that will help set the future direction of Free Geek.
You will also hear from candidates for the new position of Volunteer Representatives to the Free Geek Board â as part of the governance changes, Free Geek is committed to maintaining a Board with no less than 25% of its membership elected directly by volunteers to represent their interests. Anyone who has completed 30 or more volunteer hours in the last year will be able to vote. Voting opens at the Town Hall, and will remain open for two weeks in order to maximize the number of votes received. Paper ballots will be available at Free Geek; you may call the front desk at 503-232-9350 to request a ballot by mail. We will use the Schulze Method of voting, the most mathematically correct voting system in existence, to ensure the best and fairest representation. There will also be a free lunch provided, a chance to raise your issues directly with staff and members of the Board, and an after-event session in the Eagles bar for participants. We appreciate and look forward to your participation in this historic convening. See you there! |

The monthly meeting of Portland's first JavaScript and ECMAscript users' group. We discuss topics ranging from client-side and server-side web frameworks, to functional and prototypal programming theory.
At this meeting Jerry Sievert will talk about Bricks.js <https://github.com/JerrySievert/bricks>, the Node.js web framework that he created. Jerry was not completely satisfied with existing frameworks, like Express. So he set out to make a new framework that is powerful, modular, and fast.
Feel free to join our mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/pdxjs if you too are a JavaScript admirer. Or visit our web site for more information at http://pdxjs.com/. |

Lean ITIL Workshop
Roll back
| description |
The marching orders for todayâs IT leaders are clear: provide run-the-business projects and services better, faster and cheaper, in order to free up time and money to focus on initiatives that will drive business growth and innovation.
To accomplish this, we need a disciplined approach to improving the quality, consistency, availability, and cost of IT services. This is the intent of ITIL, which is founded upon Dr. Demingâs Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle of continual improvement of processes, products and services. By quickly addressing root causes of problems, we can improve the stability and quality of the overall environment. This in turn reduces the number of incidents, freeing up capacity to provide more and better IT services to the business at a lower cost. When properly adopted, ITIL transforms the IT organization from reactive problem responders into providers of high quality services to satisfied customers.
Attendees are encouraged to bring real scenarios and challenges to discuss with the class, as we learn to apply Lean Thinking to improve IT Services. Many organizations have begun to adopt IT Service Management thinking, but this course focuses in on the âhow we do itâ factor.

ACHIEVING IT SERVICE EXCELLENCE is not just a desire but a necessity to position your IT organization as the competitive âprovider of first choice.â Technology for most organizations is a commodity; having a service oriented team is where you will truly begin to gain competitive advantage. Successful IT organizations have an IT Service Strategy that is based on a common definition of service and an understanding of what is important from your clientsâ perspective. âAchieving IT Service Excellenceâ means that everyone from the CIO to the individual contributor delivers consistent service and manages the clientâs expectations on an ongoing basis.

"Max Guernsey: Goad Testing: Guaranteeing that Tests Make Distinctions"
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
Test Driven Development has reached maturity. Goad Testing takes you a level deeper, examining what tests really are and using the outcome of that exercise to derive new ways of keeping software - both production and test - healthy, flexible, and on-specification. Making distinctions is a critical aspect of a test: It allows a test to serve as an executable specification. Sometimes this ability is lost in the course of maintenance. Goad testing is a way to prevent that from happening without introducing significant extra work or complexity.
About Max Guernsey III, Hexagon Software LLC:
Iâve been in the software development industry for over ten years. Nearly half of that has been spent mentoring teams in various aspects of Agility, including Design Patterns, TDD, User Story creation & analysis. In the last few years, Iâve become interested in how Lean and Agile fit together.
This event is free and is at our new location, Puppet Labs. It begins at 6:30 pm with pizza, sponsored by PNSQC (Many thanks to both Puppet Labs and PNSQC for supporting agile in Portland).
The program starts at 7:00 pm.
After the program you're invited to join us for a no-host gathering at a nearby brewpub for further discussion of chicken wings and other agile conundrums.

FROM THE WEBSITE:
With its double pyramid-style roof, vaulted ceilings and generous woodwork inside, Raleigh Hills greets first timers and regulars alike with the comfortable feeling of an old friend. A beer garden outdoors beckons thirsty patrons during the summertime and McMenamins pub fare is served up daily for lunch and dinner.
Look closely at the full color mural on the south wall of Raleigh Hills Pub — the trompe-l'oeil-style painting features likenesses of longtime customers.
Raleigh Hills Pub allows pets at the two tables adjacent to the parking lot. No pets on the patio. |

We had a fantastic meeting last month out in Cornelius Pass, this time its at Raleigh Hills Pub in Beaverton.
Get together with other 3D focused artists and designers to talk shop in a casual environment.
Last time, Nick Nakate gave us an introduction to the standalone renderer Brazil 3. Check the link below for this month's topic. If its related to 3D, animation, film, game design, its fair game.

Vision Planning for the Community-Minded
Roll back

Vision planning for people who want to do something for a community.
Do you not yet have a vision statement written out, or would you like to tweak or revise? And do you say things like, "I was hoping someone would want to contribute to my project since it is for the public good"? Then this workshop is for you.
Saturday, September 20th, 10am-12pm. Alex Linsker, Catherine Poole, and Russ Finkelstein will be the main facilitators and coaches of the workshop.
The main questions about your vision: Where are you coming from? What phrasing describes the reason why youâre doing this?
If related questions come up organically, weâll explore. These questions are where groups like âCollective Agencyâ started.
Whether a website, open source project, discussion group, nonprofit startup, or something else, the main focus of the people who show up will be for the benefit of a group or groups of people (the "community"). Weâll have fun and develop a vision planning community of our own.
In 2 hours we will meet-and-greet (go around and say what weâre working on and what weâd like to happen with it), have a brief overview, then invest most of the time in one-on-one coaching in 15 minute sessions.
Coaches will each bring a vision plan for something theyâve done.
This event is free of charge. Coaching/mentoring/skill-sharing will be available here in the future with both free and paid options.
Please RSVP. Plancast is best, so people can see you're coming. Email [email protected] or tweet @alexlinsker with any questions. |

High-end Throughput With Low-end Hardware: A Case Study Using Cassandra
Roll back
| description |
Identifying fraud and suspicious activity on the Internet is all about data. iovation protects its customers by analyzing devices performing high value transactions and recommending an action in real-time based on past activity. Apache Cassandra can consume and analyze a ridiculous amount of data while keeping costs low.
At iovation an implementation using Cassandra currently supports 10,000 read/write operations per second on a cluster storing over 1 billion rows in 500GB, Cassandra makes this solution horizontally scalable, highly available, recoverable, and cheap (under $20k).
In this presentation Darin will cover some of the other options his team explored, hardware choices that were made, and the more interesting tunables Cassandra offers that allow you to squeeze IOPS out of your cluster.
Presenter: Darin Glatt, Principal Application Architec, iovation
Darin Glatt is software developer with over 10 years experience working with large-scale distributed systems. He is currently the Application Architect for iovation where he helps fight fraud, account take over, and identity theft on the Internet by tracking device reputation and suspicious activity in real-time. Prior to taking on the bad guys of the Internet, Darin helped build a massively multi-player blackjack game for the UltimateBet platform and developed MetroOnes nationwide VoIP network, the backbone of their 411 offering. |

It’s the PDXTech4Good Back-to-School Special! Our September meetup offers three roundtables for a lively show and tell session on a topic of your choosing. Just like the first day of school, PDXTech4Good will focus the first fall session on getting to know you and your organization. We invite you to bring an idea, challenge, solution, or tip to share in one of three suggested breakouts—websites, databases, and social media. Got a topic not included in one of the breakouts? Bring it and we will work it into the mix. |
