We are the local R user group for Portland, Oregon. R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics (http://www.r-project.org/ ). Our goal is to support and share R experience and knowledge among its users in the Portland community. We would like to hear how you use and enjoy the R language and statistical programming environment.
At our initial meeting, we'll see how many people in the area use R and where your interests and backgrounds lie. Once we've made contact, our meetings may grow to include presentations or tutorials. Come and tell us what you'd like from your local R user group! |

Portland Linux/Unix Group: Server Sky - Data Centers in Orbit
Roll back
| description |
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.

This will be a panel discussion about the ups, downs, ins, and outs of
relational, row, key-value, and hierarchical data stores (simplistic
buzzwordiness: SQL vs NOSQL aka ACID CRUD.)
The panel will discuss parallelism, scale, data integrity,
normalization, business logic, ORMs, and maybe flat files. They might
take questions from the audience.
As always, the meeting will be followed by social hour at the Lucky Lab.

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. :)

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. |

Can't wait until the meeting? Let us know you're interested by completing our Volunteer Interest Form:
http://bit.ly/bcp4volunteer
What is BarCamp?
BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from participants. You never quite know what to expect at BarCamp. When you arrive on Friday, there will be an agenda framework (times / rooms), but the content for the sessions will be decided by the participants. |

Portland Linux/Unix Group: Server Sky - Data Centers in Orbit

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.

Season 3, episode 4
Get up early and work on your side projects with some like-minded geeks!
TechCoffee is part running club, part knitting bee, and part hackathon. 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.

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!) |
