DASH 3 Portland
Roll back
description |
From fictitious graveyards to s'mores designed in morse code to music clips containing a hidden message, anything is possible to encounter when playing in the third DASH (Different Area â Same Hunt) puzzle hunt. Portland-area teams can now register for DASH, an amazing day-long game of original puzzles, at www.playdash.org. DASH 3 will be held in Portland on April 30th, 2011, starting at 10:00am.
A puzzle hunt, a unique type of treasure hunt, is a fun, interactive, outdoor event in which teams of players race to find and solve creative puzzles hidden in different locations. The DASH puzzle hunt is simulcast across the country on the same day, with 700 participants and 40 organizers. The inaugural DASH in September 2009 spanned 8 cities. DASH 3 is currently being planned in 12 participating cities: Austin, Boston, Chicago, Davis (CA), Los Angeles, New York, Portland, San Diego, San Mateo (Bay Area), Santa Rosa (CA), Seattle, and Washington (DC).
DASH teams consist of two to five people, and all levels of puzzle enthusiasts are encouraged to play â There will be a generous hint system for those who are stumped, and players can call âGame Controlâ at any time for explicit help and assistance. No car is needed, as all locations will be accessible on foot.
The Portland DASH organizers also produce the popular local monthly Puzzled Pint (www.puzzledpint.com) events. |

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) seeks to inspire an appreciation of science and technology among young people, ultimately motivating them to pursue opportunities in science, technology and engineering. The FIRST Robotics Competition is an exciting, multinational competition that teams professionals and young people to solve an engineering design problem in an intense and competitive way.
The regional competition is an annual event that challenges high school students to design, build, and program a robot that competes in live action to measure the effectiveness of each robot and the power of team strategy/collaboration. Following a kick-off announcement in January, all teams have only six weeks to brainstorm and build their robots â robots are designed to compete with one another using the same kit of parts and standard set of rules. Top winners go on to compete in national trials. The competitions are high-tech spectator sporting events, the result of lots of focused brainstorming, real-world teamwork, dedicated mentoring, project timelines, and deadlines. |

Presentation
Free Content and the Data Revolution
by
Daniel Hedlund
The amount of information available on the Internet has exploded in recent years and shows no sign of slowing down. Most of this information is freely available to anyone with a web browser --- but what does free mean? Daniel Hedlund will lead a discussion on the meaning of open data and explore how the open source movement is no longer constrained to the realm of software. |

This is the Nineteenth annual conference hosted by the Columbia Region of the American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS), the Oregon-Southwest Washington Chapter of the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA) and Portland State University (PSU). Each year, ASPRS and URISA collaborate to hold this informational conference on current issues in the Geospatial Information Community. The Portland State University Geology Department will join us again this year to host the conference at the PSU campus. Last yearâs conference at PSU was a great success. Join us again this year for what will be another successful opportunity to meet colleagues in the geospatial industries and organizations, to learn about emerging topics and recent advances in GIS applications and to discuss our problems and solutions together. This event features a one-fee, two day format, packed with information presented in concurrently running workshops and sessions on both days. There will be three tracks each day consisting of panel discussions debating hot topics, traditional sessions with 2-3 presentations per session and technical workshops providing in-depth discussion of issues and training in applications most relevant to the geospatial community.

<img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21346886/redhat_maphack_logo_transparent_square.png" />
Design, hack and field test locally focused civic geo mobile applications! Anyone at any skill level can come learn how to make mobile apps. We will design and code all night and then go out in the morning and field test the apps.
Examples of what will be built/improved:
* CatMapper - geolocate cats: <a href='https://github.com/maxogden/mobile-mapper'>code</a>, <a href="http://i.imgur.com/LIKab.png">screenshot</a>, <a href="catmapper.com">video blog</a>. You can learn how to fork CatMapper and repurpose it for other awesome use cases.
* Geoloqi - build GPS enabled non-visual augmented reality apps! Have restaurants text message you their health inspection as you walk by them, leave geo-notes for your friends, or create GPS feeds for cats by giving them iPhones!
* <a href="http://walking-papers.org/">Walking Papers</a> - Use paper and pencil to map your community! We could fork this project to work for other types of data collection
@maxogden will be in town for two days only. Come hack on crazy stuff with him!
Please RSVP via EventBrite so we can get an idea of how many people will be there. Food/drinks will be provided in some form or another!

Imagine trying to drive to a town youâve never been to without any map or directions. It would be pretty hard, wouldnât it? Yet thatâs exactly how most people do Search Engine Optimization (SEO). They donât have a roadmap to see where they are, where theyâre going to and how to get there.
Iâll show you how to create a roadmap for SEO by analyzing your website to discover what areas of SEO youâll need to work on to beat your competitors and be #1 on Google.
<strong>This is what youâll learn:</strong>
How to check and compare your site against your top competitors based on:
- Number of Indexed Pages
- Number of Incoming Links
- Link Quality
- Anchor Text
- PageRank
- Site Age
- On-Page Optimization Score
- Your AllInText, AllInTitle and AllInAnchor Positions
Why every search engine result page (SERP) is different and how to adjust your strategy based on what works in your industry.
By the end of the webinar youâll have a very clear idea as of why your competitors are ranking above you on Google and exactly what to do to change that.
The webinar is on March 9, 2011, at 1pm PST. Itâll be 30-minutes long and weâll have a 15-minute Q&A session after that.

Come hang out, drink beer, and write code every Monday night.
The meetings are extremely informal, and everyone is welcome!
Maybe we'll be in the middle room, maybe in the back room, just keep walking until you see a table full of laptops.

This is the regular February meeting, rescheduled due to snow.
This meeting will be split into two parts:
The "regular" meeting will be a presentation on Xcode 4 by Steve Riggins and Brandon Sneed. Please note that Xcode 4 is still under Apple NDA - this means that in order to attend the meeting you need to have signed up for at least a free membership at http://developer.apple.com.
The second part of the meeting will be the kickoff of the Learning iPhone project (http://groups.google.com/group/pdx-cocoaheads-talk/browse_thread/thread/b6f453fca8284f1).
Those who aren't interested in the class can head out for beer, and the rest of us will join them when we're done. |

Working Title: Getting the right test results
Mark Knell will introduce a new way of creating tests cases - ones that pass only when they should.
"This transformation in how you think about your code will be recognizable to anyone who does TDD. But while there's extensive tool support for running tests, or writing and refactoring code... there are few tools for writing tests."
Examples in C#.
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.

Join us March 16th at 6:30 pm as AgilePDX explores New Horizons in TDD. Two local experts, Mark Knell and Marty Nelson will preview their proposed talks for Agile 2011. They will discuss applying TDD at new scales: in the micro, with assertions driving the composition of tests, and in the macro, with confirmational aspects of features driving the communication of vision and intent
Mark's Talk:
Most tests follow an arrange/act/assert pattern that dates back to the earliest days of xUnit. A bowling test might set up a new frame, roll a ball, and expect that if no pins are left standing, the score will be a strike. But this test also passes if there were never any pins set up in the first place. Difference-Asserting Fluent Tests use a DSL to close this and several other loopholes in NUnit and MSTest assertions, while letting you keep those tools in place. You've heard of syntactic sugar? This is syntactic caulk. And more.
Mark Knell is a developer and Agile coach working in Portland. He has a master's degree from Harvard University Extension.
Marty's talk:
We all hope that our software will satisfy the goals and desires of our users and customers. Yet most development starts by focusing on features as a mechanism to achieve an outcome, rather than creating something demonstrable that will confirm that the vision and intent has been achieved. What if these confirmational and functional aspects were really two sides of the same feature that could be exploited to develop features in a test-driven manner? Feature TDD is a technique that does just that: create confirmational aspects that clearly establish desired outcomes and then use those to test-drive the functional mechanism that is the focus of traditional software development.
Marty Nelson is the Head of Architecture at Accelrys, Inc., an ISV offering Enterprise Lab Management solutions that serve a rapidly changing pharmaceutical and scientific R&D industry. Marty has been practicing agile development since 2003 and has taken a keen interested in the last couple of years in the architectural and organizational application of agile values and principals.

Design, hack and field test locally focused civic geo mobile applications! Anyone at any skill level can come learn how to make mobile apps. We will design and code all night and then go out in the morning and field test the apps.
Examples of what will be built/improved:
* CatMapper - geolocate cats: <a href='https://github.com/maxogden/mobile-mapper'>code</a>, <a href="http://i.imgur.com/LIKab.png">screenshot</a>, <a href="catmapper.com">video blog</a>. You can learn how to fork CatMapper and repurpose it for other awesome use cases.
* Geoloqi - build GPS enabled non-visual augmented reality apps! Have restaurants text message you their health inspection as you walk by them, leave geo-notes for your friends, or create GPS feeds for cats by giving them iPhones!
* <a href="http://walking-papers.org/">Walking Papers</a> - Use paper and pencil to map your community! We could fork this project to work for other types of data collection
@maxogden will be in town for two days only. Come hack on crazy stuff with him!
more exact details TBA soon |

Mobile Portland - Mobile Subscriptions: Controversy and Opportunity
Roll back

<i>RSVP at http://www.mobileportland.com/events/mobile-subscriptions-controversy-or-opportunity</i>
Apple's newly announced policies for subscriptions in iOS apps have the tech and publishing industry buzzing.
Ever since Rupert Murdoch announced that his new initiative, The Daily, would use the new subscription service, people have wondered how the service would work. Like many App Store announcements, the unveiling of the new policies seem to create more questions than they answer.
This month at Mobile Portland, we are pleased to have a distinguished panel of experts who will take a look at controversy, risks and opportunities associated with mobile subscriptions. They will cover questions like:
* Can publishers adjust their business models can survive Apple taking such a large percentage (30%) of their subscription fees and the fact that they will not have the demographic information about subscribers that they use to sell ads?
* Why do publishers want the subscriber information? How much of their revenue comes from selling subscriber data to direct mail companies? Are the policies important to protect consumer privacy?
* Will popular applications like Netflix, Kindle and Last.fm survive under these new rules?
* Will these new policies apply to software as a service as well? What about products like Dropbox and Basecamp?
* Do these changes make it more difficult for companies to innovate and disrupt existing industries?
Even with all of the controversy, many people see opportunities for new business models that were not possible before. The panel will explore what businesses may benefit the most from Apple's new subscription services as well as dive into some of the technical details on how they can be implemented.
Apple isn't the only game in town. Google has responded with it's One Pass service for Android that will allow publishers to keep 90 percent of revenue and access to more subscriber data. Will Android and other platforms put pressure on Apple to change it's policy?
Please join us for this free timely and informative discussion
<b>Our Panelists</b>
<b>Sasha Mace</b>
