Online Video Training and Promotion in the Scientific and Industrial Markets
Roll back
| description |
nil |

Create online presence and support for technical products using video for web as a primary vehicle. This webinar will present ideas for creating, promoting and optimizing online videos for training, sales, and technical support of products. Video for the web fits especially well with products that require set up, calibration and regular maintenance such as laboratory instruments, equipment, and industrial products with technical applications.
Vinnie Martorano with Sheldon MFG. will be presenting a case study on Sheldon's latest product launch the 3552 CO2 Incubator. Challenged with supporting and educating a worldwide dealer network, Sheldon MFG began using video to train and promote their line of laboratory incubators, ovens, and chambers. Using video Sheldon was able to launch the 3552 into the global marketplace quickly and clearly. Mr. Martorano will elaborate on the chosen content, format and results seen thus far in this latest product release. |

Galois Tech Talk: A Scalable I/O Manager for GHC
Roll back
| description |
A Scalable I/O Manager for GHC
Presented by Johan Tibell.
Abstract: The Glasgow Haskell Compiler supports extraordinarily cheap threads. These are implemented using a two-level model, with threads scheduled across a set of OS-level threads. Since the lightweight threads canât afford to block when performing I/O operations, when a Haskell program starts, it runs an I/O manager thread whose job is to notify other threads when they can safely perform I/O.
The I/O manager manages its file descriptors using the select system call. While select performs well for a small number of file descriptors, it doesnât scale to a large number of concurrent clients, making GHC less attractive for use in large-scale server development.
This talk will describe a new, more scalable I/O manager thatâs currently under development and that hopefully will replace the current I/O manager in a future release of GHC.
Details:
Date: January 29th, 2010, Friday
Time: 1:30pm
Location: Galois Inc., 421 SW 6th Ave. Suite 300 (3rd floor of the Commonwealth building)
Bio: Johan Tibell is a Software Engineer at Google Inc. He received a M.S. in Software Engineering from the Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, in 2007. |

Startup Law 101: When does a startup need to call a lawyer?

Sledgehammer: When does a startup need to call a lawyer?
And when can a startup get by without one? The members of PIE invite you to join them for a great session on understanding better when and when you don't need a lawyer.
We have invited one of the tech startup industry's best law firms to come and talk to the entreprenuers in Portland's startup scene. Neil Nathanson from the Portland office of the leading startup law firm Perkins Coie, will talk about the critical points in a startup's lifecycle where having your own legal sledgehammer is essential. Also joining him will be Jeff Bock, addressing licensing and intellectual property issues and Neil addressing corporate and finance issues. He will also cover what sort of services and counsel you can expect from a law firm and then be open for a Q&A session.
The event will start at 6pm, but the doors will open around 5:30 with pizza available.
There is no fee to attend - but please only register if you intend to come so we can have enough food.

Refresh Portland is back, and our January meetup is all about you! To start off the year, we invite every Refresh member, old and new alike, to an informal dinner and planning hour.
Maybe you’ve been wondering about what Refresh Portland could, or should look like this year. Maybe you have a burning idea you want to share, or a new space where we can host future meetups. Maybe you’re looking to talk usability and front-end design with people who gets it. Or maybe you’re just looking for a way to contribute and help out a growing group. This is the venue to ask, give, and wonder about all of the above.
Help make Refresh Portland the best it can be for 2010, and enjoy a nice drink and mindshare with some of the best designers/developers in town! |
