create Calagator::Event 1250458385 Portland Perl Mongers -- XML with Xtra X Roll back

description nil → How to learn to parse huge XML documents by doing it wrong for 5 years speaker: Tyler Riddle When XML documents can't fit into memory the vast majority of solutions available on CPAN are no longer available to you; when the XML documents are so large they take up to 16 hours to process with the standard tools for handling large documents your hands are tied even more. Tyler will cover his learning experiences creating the Parse::MediaWikiDump and MediaWiki::DumpFile modules which are made to handle the 24 gigabyte English Wikipedia dump files in a reasonable time frame. 1) Real world benchmarks of C and perl libraries used to process huge XML documents. 2) The dirty little secret about XS and what it means for you in this context. 3) The evolution of the implementation of a nice interface around event oriented (SAX style) XML parsing. 4) Why XML::LibXML::Reader and XML::CompactTree are your friends and how to tame them. As always, the meeting will be followed by social hour at the Lucky Lab.

update Calagator::Event 1250458321 TiE Oregon: Energy Solutions for the Developing World Roll back

description Bringing cost effective energy to the Billions living in primitive conditions Social Entrepreneurs have been engaged in developing and distributing energy solutions for those billion or more who live without electricity. We will get a deeper insight into the problems, economics, delivery, and growth of this important area of focus that many stakeholders are fully engaged in. → Bringing cost effective energy to the Billions living in primitive conditions Over 1.6 billion people, upwards of 30% of the global population, are without access to electricity. Electricity advances developmental factors such as small business development, extended working hours, access to communications, enhanced education levels and rural development. Energy can improve life of millions. In developing countries access to energy remains constrained by factors such as limited access to well adapted affordable technology, fragmented small markets, prohibitive taxes and limited financial resources. On Dec 14th , at the Copenhagen Climate conference the Obama Administration announced a $350 million dollar initiative dubbed “Climate REDI” to promote clean energy technologies in developing countries. Join us on March 17th for a discussion with our expert panel, on what kind of innovations in products, finance, supply and service can ensure reliable & affordable energy to the billions of poor across the world. Our 2 presenters Michael(Kipp) Baratoff, Principal, Equilibrium Capital & Patrick Maloney, Program Director, Lemelson Foundation have been fully immersed in this space, having been engaged with social entrepreneurs over the course of their careers. Lemelson Foundation awarded an energy grant to Selco India for it’s Incubation Center and Innovation Department to develop new products and new business models to solve key problems for energy consumers. The SELCO Solar Light Private Limited (SELCO India) is already an important provider of solar systems and cook stoves in southern India, with products that allow rural families to increase their household income while reducing the environmental and health risks of higher-cost kerosene lamps and inefficient stoves. Our event organizer, TiE Oregon Clean Energy SIG chair, Ravi Sinha, is the Chairman of Choice Solar India Pvt Ltd., company engaged in creative distribution of energy solutions to India's marginalized residents. Bill Campbell, our moderator for the evening is also a Principal at Equlibrium as well as a TiE Oregon Charter Member and Board Member. They will bring an insight into problems, economics, delivery & growth of energy solutions. This event is also a continuation of our theme “Serving the 6 Billion” on which we launched TiE Oregon in 2007. The keynote (watch the video on our website) speaker at the launch was C.K Prahalad, Paul & Ruth McCracken Distinguished University Professor of Corporate Strategy at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business, a globally recognized business consultant, who gave a stirring speech about the Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid. It centers on the proposition that the world's poor can be the engine of the next round of global trade and prosperity and can be a source of innovation.

create Calagator::Event 1250458375 SAOpdx: Parallel Java Programming for Multi-Core Processors Roll back

description nil → Presented by the Developers Forum With over 6.5 million software developers worldwide, Java is used in every major industry segment, running on everything from cell phones to scientific supercomputers. Traditionally, it has been difficult for programmers to take advantage of the multi-core systems with their ever-multiplying number of cores. But that is all about to change with JSR-166y. Targeted for Java 7, scheduled for release in late 2010, JSR-166y adds a lightweight task framework known as ForkJoin (FJ) to the Java platform. Steve Dohrmann will be discussing the fundamentals of parallel Java programming. His talk will include the use of Java threads, an overview of the JSR-166y (ForkJoin) package, and some points on higher-level parallel programming models. If you're a Java developer, you can't afford to miss this opportunity to learn about the future of Java in a parallel world. And developers on other environments will find the overview of parallel application development and solid parallel algorithm fundamentals to be valuable in building systems that scale and provide competitive differentiation for your solutions. Meet the Speaker: Steve Dohrmann, Software Engineer, Intel Since joining Intel in 1994, Steve has worked in a variety of research, advanced development, and product groups within the company. He is currently working in a Java technology group and is focused on data-parallel programming for the Java VM. Intel will be giving away a brand new laptop for a door prize!

CANCELLED PRESENTATION was ... A Talk by Jeri Ellsworth (Circuit Girl) Jeri Ellsworth is a native Oregonian, born in Yamhill and raised in Dallas, Oregon. Early on she became fascinated with electronics and 8-bit computers setting the stage for her unique approach to learning. Not being challenged in school, she skipped higher education to pursue a career in car-racing and chassis fabrication. After that, she opened a chain of computer stores in Oregon and Washington. She sold those to persue a career in chip design, which lead her to design the CommodoreOne - based upon the Commodore 64 - using reconfigurable logic and the C64 DTV 30- games-in-one joystick, selling, a quarter million units. She currently works as an Oregon based consultant. I'm not sure what Jeri is going to speak about yet, but judging from the talk she gave at Stanford, it should be very good indeed.

update Calagator::Event 1250458119 Portland Linux/Unix Group: Drupal! What is it good for? Roll back

description PRESENTATION Drupal What is it Good For? by Lev Tsypin Drupal is growing leaps and bounds these days, powering everything from ma and pa brochure sites to Obama’s recovery.gov. Does this mean it’s a great fit for any website? Not exactly. Drupal has been defined as many things, including a content management system, a web application framework, and community plumbing. In some ways, this is both a blessing and a curse; there’s so much you can do, in so many different ways, that new users are crushed under the weight of the options and lack of clarity. In addition, all of that flexibility does come with a cost, in terms of performance and conciseness. This presentation will cover some Drupal basics including history, core concepts, and system structure. From there, we will dig into Drupal’s strengths and weaknesses, finishing off by discussing the types of projects Drupal is best suited for, including specific examples for each case. My hope is that developers new to the platform will gain a better understanding of when to approach a new project with Drupal, more experienced developers will gain a bit of insight on when not to use it, and non-techies will have some help in choosing a platform for their projects along with an understanding why developers they work with select a given platform. Please note that this talk will not delve deeply into the technical details of Drupal. → PRESENTATION Drupal What is it Good For? by Lev Tsypin Drupal is growing leaps and bounds these days, powering everything from ma and pa brochure sites to Obama’s recovery.gov.

update Calagator::Event 1250457645 Rose City SPIN seminar: Estimation - Understanding Project Environmental Effects Roll back

description Networking from 6-7, Seminar from 7-8:00 PM Event is open to anyone - this is a free talk. Come in early for free pizza provided by the Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference! Abstract: Estimates are required multiple times in a project. Project members need to make estimates for a variety of reasons, these include: • The amount of time for a task; • The cost for resources; • The cost of software, hardware and other materials; • The time required to finish a task. However, there are many problems with estimates. This presentation focuses on the sociological and psychological aspects of doing estimates. It teaches attendees the environmental issues that affect estimates and how to deal with their impact. Through class interaction, it shows both the psychological and sociological factors that affect how estimates are given and provides leaders with tools to help avoid the common pitfalls. By avoiding these situations, estimates become more representative of the project and more variation more predictable. Controlling both of these, help the Project Manager avert trouble. This a very interactive and fun presentation. It has a short exercise and throughout the presentation, attendees are asked to make estimates on doing the exercise again under a number of situations to help better learn from their own behavior. Speaker Bio: Todd Williams has thirty years experience as a Project Manager, Architect, entrepreneur and businessperson. He has spent twenty of those years recovering red projects. From this experience, he has developed a process to make the recoveries more efficient. His experience also provides a plethora of invaluable knowledge on avoiding project failure. He has worked in manufacturing and service industries for products used internally and externally to the companies developing them. The projects include large-scale system integration of manufacturing systems, equipment integration, web-based collaboration tools, thick clients with automated update via the internet and large-scale business systems integration. The projects have been in Taiwan, Singapore, Canada, the United States and Israel. The teams have been dispersed in as many as five countries, three continents and countless time zones. Some of these projects were captive in-house time and materials projects while others were outsourced fixed-priced projects. Mr. Williams is the President of eCameron, Inc., located in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area, and specializes in recovering red projects. He is a published author and regularly publishes a Project Management Technique eZine. Directions: Room 86-01 is located between the Engineering Building and the Fourth Avenue Building on the PSU campus. Enter through the Engineering Building at 1930 SW Fourth Avenue, go down the stairs and through the hall directly ahead. Street parking is available. Rose City SPIN: The Rose City Software Process Improvement Network (SPIN) is a monthly forum for networking, mutual support, and promotion of effective software practices. We exchange practical experiences, ideas, knowledge, wisdom, and war stories about the technical, business, and human facets of software process improvement. The Rose City SPIN serves the software development community of the Portland/Vancouver metro area.

update Calagator::Event 1250457633 Portland Linux/Unix Group: Crash Reporting: Mozilla's Open Source Solution Roll back

description PRESENTATION Crash Reporting: Mozilla's Open Source Solution by K Lars Lohn Nothing exercises the limits of software like turning it over to the end users. While in-house testing is invaluable, the end users can often find the neglected edge cases or subtle race conditions in a more reliable manner. However, once the software is in the end user’s hands, postmortem crash information is usually lost. By taking the Google Breakpad project and enhancing it with Mozilla’s own Socorro project, Mozilla has a solution to this problem. When Firefox goes down, in a last ditch effort, it lobs a packet of crash information over the wall to Mozilla's Socorro servers. Socorro Servers, written in Python, can handle millions of these crashes per day. Using Google Breakpad libraries to reconstitute useful stack traces, Socorro Server saves its work in a PostgreSQL database. There statistics are gathered and displayed under the Socorro UI, a PHP web application. With this suite of tools, the Mozilla developers can track trends and even drill down to look at specific instances of Firefox crashes. WARNING: during this talk, Firefox will be intentionally crashed live on stage. Those of delicate constitution may wish to retire to the lobby prior to the spectacle. about Lars Trapped at the triple point between a geek, a hippie and a biker, Lars is a self proclaimed Cowboy Programmer at the Mozilla Corporation. Unintentionally specializing in programming as performance art, Lars frequently jumps into projects on the Thursday prior to a Monday deadline. Lars is proud of being the only member of the Web Development team that does absolutely no Web development. Lars prefers Python, PostgreSQL and Harleys, but is versed in C++, MySQL and Subarus. → PRESENTATION Crash Reporting: Mozilla's Open Source Solution by K Lars Lohn Nothing exercises the limits of software like turning it over to the end users.
