Portland Female Executives Wall of Wine Benefit Gala
Roll back

On Tuesday, December 8, plan to mix and mingle with friends, colleagues, and Portland's female business leaders at the historic University Club of Portland for the Portland Female Executives (PDXfX) Wall-of-Wine Benefit Gala & Fundraiser.
Our annual events are consistent smash hits. Whether you stop by after work in your holiday best or go all out with lots of sparkle and a great black dress or jacket, you'll enjoy delightful holiday cheer, complimentary hors d'oeuvres and wine, and best of all, plenty of fun and the opportunity to go home with some absolutely wonderful bottles of wine.
Enjoy the surprise – and help women succeed!
Here's how the wall-of-wine works. Buy by number (all labels will be hidden) at a flat $25 per bottle or $100 for five bottles. Your "lucky number" could yield any number of outstanding local and international wines. Proceeds benefit the Portland affiliate chapter of Girl’s Inc, an organization that inspires girls ages 8 to 18, to be strong, smart, and bold, and PDXfX, a non-profit organization supporting the advancement of women in business.
Member appreciation
PDXfX members are invited to enjoy the evening at a reduced rate of $15.00. Guests, spouses, friends, and colleagues are warmly welcomed at $30 per person.

Hi folks,
At Monty's suggestion, we agreed to start having every-other-week
meetings, starting Monday November 16 at 7pm, at Techshop in
Beaverton, in their meeting room. This coming Monday is the second such
meeting.
What is the purpose of this meeting? Good question! I think it is to
get together to work on projects while offering help and getting help
from others. I won't be teaching classes or giving a lecture, though if
others want to, feel free. There is no agenda.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A TECHSHOP MEMBER TO ATTEND THESE MEETINGS, though
you do need to be a member to use their equipment -- except for the
following caveat.
Monty, correct me if I'm wrong, but, I believe you said that the Open
Tech Space corner at TechShop IS available to non-TechShop members,
which is awesome. This gives you access to test equipment, soldering
stations, and work benches. Do you have any other input on this, Monty?
We'll probably stay until 8pm, perhaps longer if enough people show up
and there is staff on hand.
See:
http://www.portlandtechshop.com/
for details about TechShop, including a map.
And:
http://opentechspace.org/about/
for details about Open Tech Space.
The address is:
10100 SW Allen Blvd., Beaverton, OR 97005
(503) 643-SHOP
-Pete

Rose City SPIN: Developing Requirements for Legacy Systems
Roll back
| description |
This is a free talk open to the public and presented by the Rose City Software Process Improvement Network (SPIN).
<b>Logistics:</b>
Networking from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Talk presented from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM (doors close at 7:15)
<b>Talk:</b>
Developing Requirements for Legacy Systems presented by Bill Baker
<b>Abstract:</b>
Many legacy systems were created without documented requirements. Over the years, changes were made, often without adequate documentation. Software quality suffers as the system becomes more and more complex. This presentation will provide a case study of bringing requirements management and other related process improvements to a legacy software product â one which has been successful for over twenty years.
A cross-functional team of management undertook a project to improve significantly the processes related to requirements. This presentation describes the lessons learned while undertaking this project. Among these are:
⢠A good implementation start is essential. Outside consultants are useful. Fully involve all stakeholders.
⢠Different audiences have different needs. Find effective ways to communicate to each audience.
⢠Be pragmatic when choosing what requirements to write and how much effort to put into describing the current system.
⢠Leverage tool adoption to make changes that are more general to the software development process.

<p>A theme has emerged from recent offers to present, namely, ways to avoid the use of panels. To round it out, I'm hoping one or two of the folks who use Panels will volunteer to do the Modules 101 introduction (what kind of problems does Panels solve and what are the gotchas associated for complete beginners) as well as a more hands-on example of how to use Panels.</p>
<h2>Tentative Agenda</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Introductions and Call for Notetaker</strong></li>
<li><strong>Modules 101:</strong> A 5-10 minute overview of a Drupal module for beginners. This month: Panels. (beginner introduction) </li>
<li><strong>Panels:</strong> A more advanced look at how to use panels. (beginner hands-on)</li>
<li><strong>Content Template:</strong> (jnicola) Using node-content_type.tpl.php instead of Panels. (beginner / intermediate)</li>
<li><strong>Node Reference & Co.:</strong> (emptyvoid) Node reference / node relationships / modal dialog API / alternative to panels (advanced)</li>
<li><strong>Announcements:</strong> Items of Interest from User Group members</li>
</ul>
<h2>Logistics</h2>
<p>We meet at the <a href="http://opensourcery.com/">OpenSourcery</a> offices at <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=1636+NW+Lovejoy+St.+Portland,+OR+97209&sll=45.529817,-122.687105&sspn=0.006682,0.016522&ie=UTF8&ll=45.529967,-122.68821&spn=0.006682,0.016522&z=17&g=1636+NW+Lovejoy+St.+Portland,+OR+97209&iwloc=addr">1636 NW Lovejoy St. Portland, OR 97209</a>. NOTE: Please be aware that the developers at OpenSourcery will be working right up to event time. We ask that you arrive no earlier than 5:50pm. Thank you!</p>

Rose City SPIN: Developing Requirements for Legacy Systems
Roll back
| description |
This is a free talk open to the public and presented by the Rose City Software Process Improvement Network.
Talk: Developing Requirements for Legacy Systems presented by Bill Baker
Abstract:
Many legacy systems were created without documented requirements. Over the years, changes were made, often without adequate documentation. Software quality suffers as the system becomes more and more complex. This presentation will provide a case study of bringing requirements management and other related process improvements to a legacy software product â one which has been successful for over twenty years.
A cross-functional team of management undertook a project to improve significantly the processes related to requirements. This presentation describes the lessons learned while undertaking this project. Among these are:
⢠A good implementation start is essential. Outside consultants are useful. Fully involve all stakeholders.
⢠Different audiences have different needs. Find effective ways to communicate to each audience.
⢠Be pragmatic when choosing what requirements to write and how much effort to put into describing the current system.
⢠Leverage tool adoption to make changes that are more general to the software development process.
Author Bio:

This is the first meeting of the Portland Silverlight User Group - our keynote speaker will be Vertigo (www.vertigo.com) CEO Scott Stanfield. At its core, Vertigo is a group of developers and designers working closely together to create amazing user experiences.

We will discuss the obstacles met along the way, including juggling master and slave database connections, writing uploaded files to S3, and distributing static assets using the CloudFront CDN.
Additionally, integration with the Symfony configuration and environments system will be demonstrated, allowing one application to be developed locally and seamlessly deployed to the cloud. |

Entrepreneur Programs Help Individuals
and Businesses Survive and Thrive Amid Recession
--A program to help dislocated workers explore and expand their potential as entrepreneurs--
Building a strong business future in Washington County is the focus of a new business incubator located in downtown Hillsboro: Green Sustainable Business Accelerator (GSBA).
GSBA offers a new approach to successful entrepreneurship. Instead of fruitless job searches, sending out dozens of resumes and experiencing the reality that a job might be unattainable in the present economy, we offer hope and help to those who would like to take a different approach by creating their own business. Those who embark on that venture need a strong support network and mentoring to be successful. GSBA offers that and more.
The Kauffman FastTrac® LaunchPad initiative is being offered in response to the many workers who have lost their jobs and businesses that are struggling due to the current economic environment. It is a proven fact that entrepreneurship plays a key role in getting America back on the road to recovery. Over 300,000 entrepreneurs have participated in FastTrac® programs.
