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. |

These questions are how groups like âCollective Agencyâ started.
Whether a website, open source project, user group, nonprofit, 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. |

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 and Catherine Poole will be the main facilitators and coaches of the workshop.

Write a One-Page Business Plan
Roll back
| description |
VISION: To host a "Write a One-Page Business Plan" workshop this month. Vision, Market Need, Team, Marketing, Operations, Finance. For social venture and business ideas. With ongoing support of people here.
OPERATIONS: A two hour workshop, 10am-12pm, with people going to lunch afterward, and individuals and groups being here ongoing for support. Saturday Sept 24th.
MARKET NEED: So many people could be better at describing what they want to do or are doing, in a page or less (defining priorities!). Why? For other people to know what the idea is, what the logistics are, and know what they can do to help, whether: investing, joining the team, helping grow the vision, advising, being a partner...
FINANCIALS: Consultants/coaches/individuals can charge on their own if they'd like to, but this will start out free of charge with no cash costs. Each person who participates should expect to get something fulfilling out of it. The venue is for conversations, work, and events like this.
TEAM: Alex Linsker will facilitate the event with other Collective Agency supporters, including @Cacophonous_Joy who specializes in Vision, and hopefully many new people.
MARKETING: People will tell people, and RSVP via email, Plancast, Facebook or Twitter. Calagator and other events calendars. Please RSVP and tell friends and co-workers. |

Dorkbot Workshop -- PCB Layout Using EAGLE
Roll back
| description |
More details TBA |
→ |
Cost: FREE
No RSVP required. Just drop in.
Description: We all love circuits with blinky lights that make strange noises, but imagine how much cooler your circuits would look on a custom-designed and manufactured circuit board. It's easier than it may seem, and we're going to show you how it's down. Using the free version of EAGLE PCB you can design your own circuit boards in a format that is then easy to have fabricated.
This is an introductory course on using EAGLE to design printed circuit boards for fabrication. It's aimed at beginners that may have breadboarded some electronics, and now want to make a final circuit board. We'll design a simple circuit, draw out the schematic, and lay out a board.
Bring a computer: Mac, Linux, or Windows. Please download and install Eagle beforehand from http://www.cadsoftusa.com/downloads/
Laen, the ever dedicated Dorkbotter behind the DorkbotPDX group PCB order, will be showing you all of the necessary ins and outs so that you, too, can make your very own printed circuit boards. |

PLUG Advanced Topics: Roundtable: Web serving in the post-LAMP era
Roll back
| description |
This month's meeting will be a roundtable discussion about modern web serving.
The CGI era gave way to LAMP and we're now onto the next generation:
- node.js and NoSQL make LAMP overkill for many situations
- AJAX/JavaScript are moving much application logic to the browser
- Apache is giving way to lighttpd, node.js, nginx and others
- We've gone from 9" Mac support to 1024 X 768 and now to 4" phones
- URL Shorteners. Who would have thought?
- Users now routinely block ads, scripting and Flash
- Apple has declared war on Flash!
- HTML 5 and CSS 3 are starting to appear in the wild
- Security is finally coming first, not last
How have these factors changed the way you serve web content?
Are the fundamental problems being solved and making your job easier?
Please share your experiences at this roundtable and bring your questions.
When: Tuesday, September 20th, 7PM
Where: Free Geek: 1731 SE 10th Avenue, not far from the Lucky Lab
Food and Drink: Bring your own, consider Lucky Lab take-out

PLUG Advanced Topics: Roundtable: Web serving in the post-LAMP era
Roll back
| description |
This month's meeting will be a roundtable discussion about modern web serving.
The CGI era gave way to LAMP and we're now onto the next generation:
- node.js and NoSQL make LAMP overkill for many situations
- AJAX/JavaScript are moving much application logic to the browser
- Apache is giving way to lighttpd, node.js, nginx and others
- We've gone from 9" Mac support to 1024 X 768 and now to 4" phones
- Users now routinely block ads, scripting and Flash
- Apple has declared war on Flash!
- HTML 5 and CSS 3 are starting to appear in the wild
- Security is finally coming first, not last
How have these factors changed the way you serve web content?
Are the fundamental problems being solved and making your job easier?
Please share your experiences at this roundtable and bring your questions.
When: Tuesday, September 20th, 7PM
Where: Free Geek: 1731 SE 10th Avenue, not far from the Lucky Lab
Food and Drink: Bring your own, consider Lucky Lab take-out

This month's topic: TBD
----------
Speaker: TBD
----------
PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then Q&A, discussion, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)
Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't *have* to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up!
Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, at a location determined ad hoc (lately, Trees restaurant in the same building).

Lean IT Leadership: Problem Solving Workshop
Roll back
| description |
Many Lean IT initiatives, such as Agile software development, and the ITIL service management framework, intend to do just that. But often something is missing â the basic discipline for teams to find and fix problems once and for all. At the heart of Lean Thinking is the Plan-Do-Check-Act problem solving process popularized by Dr. Deming over fifty years ago. This problem solving discipline is still vital today, and itâs the very core of what it means to be a âlearning organization.â
This workshop provides hands-on, experiential learning by applying this discipline to a problem that is meaningful to you:
<ul><li> First comes a little advance homework â choose a problem you and your team face, gather some data and artifacts, and speak to your stakeholders to understand their perspectives and needs</li>
<li>Then attend the workshop for a six-hour interactive walkthrough of the problem solving process, during which we will tackle the problem you and your team have brought to class</li>
<li>Take what youâve learned back to your workplace and share with your associates
<li>Then participate in a conference call with the course instructor to discuss what youâve learned, and how you and your team are addressing in a way that it stays solved</li> </ul>

PSU Aerospace Society Launch (Brothers, Oregon)
Roll back
| description |
This schedule is from the August launch, but will likely be the same as the October launch.
Saturday 07/30 10:30am - 3:00pm Drive to Brothers, Oregon launch site (4.5 hour drive).
Saturday 07/30 3:00pm - 7:00pm Set up launch site.
Saturday 07/30 Evening Final prep, marshmallow roast, star viewing.
Sunday 07/31 8:00am - 12:00pm Final launch prep.
Sunday 07/31 12:00pm - 2:00pm Target time for launch!
Sunday 07/31 2:00pm - 4:00pm Recover rocket, pack up.
Sunday 07/31 4:00pm - Evening Possibly dinner in Bend, return to Portland (4.5 hour drive)
Portland's premier rocket club is scheduling a public rocket launch in the Oregon high desert.
This is the fourth launch of our third generation rocket. We expect to reach about 14,000 feet and to break the sound barrier! It's a 12 foot tall aluminum and fiberglass rocket that burns almost 15 pounds of fuel! If you've never seen a large(ish) rocket launch this could be your chance!
This will be very similar to our last launch in October, but with new flight computer electronics.
Read about our last launch here:
http://psas.pdx.edu/news/2010-10-17-2/
Brothers is a long way from anywhere, we come in on Saturday and camp. You're welcome to join us. For the less adventurous (there are no amenities, bring your own water and food) you can stay in Bend and drive in -- it's about 45 minutes -- on Sunday morning.
Directions to the launch site:

The Portland Linux / Unix Group Holds its Linux Clinic on the third Sunday of every month at Free Geek, 1731 SE 10th Avenue, 97214 from 1 to 5 pm. Bring your Linux computer that's being a brat and we'll make it behave like a model of decorum. Or bring your <insert evil operating system> computer and we'll turn it into a beautiful Linux box. It's also acceptable just to show up and look over shoulders to see what Linux is all about.
We have mice, keyboards and monitors, so normally all you need to bring is the box.

Come help work on Citizenry!
Citizenry is a Ruby on Rails project that powers <a href="http://epdx.org">ePDX</a>, Portland's tech directory, and other similar sites across the country.
Specifically wanting to work on:
<ul>
<li>Setting up a copy of Citizenry on Heroku to find the pitfalls involved, improve documentation, and fix related bugs.</li>
<li>Evaluating the possibility of converting the app a Rails engine to make it easier for people in other communities to customize.</li>
<li>Allowing people to add multiple links to their profile, including automatic linking to other authorized profiles.</li>
<li>Enabling third-party editing of associations (e.g. adding projects to a company)</li>
</ul>
This is pretty casual, as code sprints go. I'm planning to wander over to Cloud Seven on Sunday morning and hack on Citizenry stuff. You should come and join me. â @reidab |
