description nil → The next PDX Python meeting is just over a week away, and since the Webtrends space is not available the plan is to meet at Produce Row around 6:30pm. The pub is open to all ages until 9pm, so I hope everyone will be able to join us for an evening on their new patio. They've actually redone the entire interior, as well. I went there tonight to make sure they'd be able to accommodate us next week, and it looks awesome! Thanks a ton to everyone who offered to host us this month. I hope we can take a raincheck for the next time we need a place to meet. :)

description Brian Panulla will present "Goodbye, Semantic HTML - Retraining Your Web Standards Brain" The Web Standards movement pushed us to banish non-semantic presentational markup from our HTML. As a result, we struggled over meaningless decisions - should I use a list or a table? NO TABLE BAD! It's time to rethink what we mean be semantics in our markup. The new W3C standard RDFa (RDF in Attributes) can make our lives as Web and technology professionals easier and more sensible, without angst over whether or not to use tables. → Brian Panulla will present "Goodbye, Semantic HTML - Retraining Your Web Standards Brain" The Web Standards movement pushed us to banish non-semantic presentational markup from our HTML.

create Calagator::Event 1250458951 Portland Linux/Unix Group: Server Sky - Data Centers in Orbit Roll back

description nil → PRESENTATION Server Sky - Data Centers in Orbit Power for computation on a Moore's Law schedule Keith Lofstrom, http://server-sky.com The EPA estimates US data centers (not including desktops) consumed 1.5% of total US electrical consumption in 2006. They predict a doubling to 3% of base load by 2011. Our work as programmers and technologists continues this runaway exponential growth, and we will be stopped by environmental and resource limits soon. Server sky is a proposal to use newly emerging solid state technologies to build large arrays of 3 gram paper-thin solar-powered computation satellites in 6400km Earth orbits. A single server-sat replaces 15 watts of ground-based electrical generation, cooling, and power conversion, as well as the computation and communication hardware itself. Orbital server farms may start out as expensive as current approaches, but design improvement and cheaper launch will decrease costs exponentially over time, much as transistor cost has plummeted over the last four decades. This is open technology, responsive to public input, and the project needs volunteer software and engineering help to stay that way. Eventually, Server Sky will create thousands of open technology jobs in the Portland area, and permit unbounded computation growth in space, while reducing energy demand and environmental damage on Earth. Earth can return to what it is good at green and growing things while we fill space with gray and computing things.

It's hard to work on all of your amazing ideas after a long workday, so instead we get up early. And we get together, so we have the reinforcement of other people up early, too. A couple hours a week can make a big difference. So bring your laptops and your work ethic to PDX TechCoffee. Or, if you can't be there in person, join us on IRC at #techcoffee on freenode. One commit a week is all we ask.

description nil → We will be discussing graphic design for programmers. There are plenty of resources out there on how to use the various programs... much less so on how to really *use* them, how to break down the image in your mind into its component parts and put them together until it looks like what you want. And now that we're in the iOS Era, having some graphics skill is just as important as knowing Cocoa Touch if you want to build your own apps. This meeting can include any topic that's graphics or image related, whether it's creating them, using them, or just demoing your favorite program(s). (Note, the entrance to BrainSilo is in the back of the building!)

update Calagator::Event 1250458469 Applying the Concept of Wicked Problems and 7 Principles for Dealing with Them (Rose City SPIN Seminar) Roll back

description <strong>Applying the Concept of Wicked Problems and 7 Principles for Dealing with Them presented by Bill Gilmore</strong> Networking @ 6:00 PM; Seminar 7:00-8:00 PM This is a free seminar open to the public. Hosted by the Rose City Software Process Improvement Network (SPIN). <h3>Abstract</h3> Many of you may have heard about "wicked problems". For example, in many cases one can define the problem, then pursue a solution; but with wicked problems, one can't define the problem well until they finally have the solution. Wicked problems have several other interesting characteristics as well. An approach of "taming wicked problems" contradicts the wisdom of trying to make the nature and complexity of the solution fit the nature and complexity of the problem. The concept of wicked problems can be used as a paradigm for understanding many real world situations, including many in software development, managing teams and leading projects, organizational change, strategic planning, and more. In this presentation, you'll hear about 7 principles that can be applied for dealing with wicked problems. We'll look at several examples of problems, some more wicked than others, and how to analyze and deal with them. We'll also look at several seminal ideas in software engineering and see how the principles were used. Finally, we'll gather some problems from the audience and practice characterizing the problems and applying the principles for planning how to cope with them. <h3>Speaker Bio</h3> Bill Gilmore has worked in software engineering for over 20 years in various development, management, process and consulting roles. He worked in two small companies, then worked at the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon. He moved to Oregon in 1993 to head up the Software Process Improvement program at Tektronix. Most recently he worked at Intel for 10 years with several product teams and business groups on software product quality, product life cycles and several areas of software engineering. He led CMM and product life cycle assessments and organized and led follow-on improvement programs. Today, Bill is the President of the Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference (PNSQC). Bill has a Ph.D. in Astronomy; has published papers in Software Engineering, Strategic Planning, and Astronomy; and has presented at several conferences. <h3>A Special Treat from PNSQC</h3> Plan on coming early!

update Calagator::Event 1250458120 SPIN Seminar: Lessons Learned from Architecture Reviews presented by Rebecca Wirfs-Brock Roll back

description This Rose City Software Process Improvement (SPIN) event is free and open to the public. Networking @ 6:00 PM; Seminar 7:00-8:00 PM Location: Beaverton City Library, Meeting Room A, 12375 SW 5th Street, Beaverton, OR 97005 <strong>Abstract</strong> This talk reflects on lessons learned from preparing for, presenting, and conducting architecture reviews. Complex software projects often have quality problems and don't deliver all that was promised. Often such problems are the result of inadequate or inappropriate software architecture. Sometimes the biggest issues are technical ones. Other times, the biggest issue is that too much attention has been placed on the technical architecture to the exclusion of other essential factors. A software architecture review is one tool that helps reveal architectural risks and strengths as well as uncover unidentified issues that need addressing. A software architect needs to compellingly present the software architecture and build confidence that key architectural decisions have been thoughtfully made. An effective reviewer needs to be skilled at quickly interpreting complex information, asking probing questions, and effectively giving advice. Both architects and reviewers can benefit from being aware of biases that get in the way of people interpreting information and tactics for overcoming these biases <strong>Presenter Bio</strong> Rebecca Wirfs-Brock, president of Wirfs-Brock Associates and IEEE Software's Design Columnist, is a well-known and respected software practitioner. She invented the way of thinking about objects known as Responsibility-Driven Design and is the lead author of Object Design: Roles, Responsibilities, and Collaborations (2003) and the classic Designing Object-Oriented Software (1990). Through her writing, teaching, consulting, and speaking she popularizes the use of informal techniques and thinking tools for architects, designers, and analysts. Rebecca is a past board member of the Agile Alliance and one of the co-founders of the Agile Open Northwest conference. Most recently she reviewed enterprise architectures and major designs, developed courses on agile use cases, enterprise application design and developing and communicating software architecture. She mentors teams on agile design, object modeling, architecture, agile use case writing, meshing usage scenarios with use cases and agile user stories, and managing incremental, iterative projects. She practices what she teaches! <strong>About the Rose City SPIN:</strong> The Rose City Software Process Improvement Network (SPIN) is a monthly forum for networking, mutual support, and promotion of effective software practices.
