- Why are claims so hard to read (and how to read them)
How to successfully navigate an application through the Patent Office (led by Kevin Ross, Marger Johnson & McCollom PC and Joe Makuch, Marger Johnson & McCollom PC)
- How examiners use "Prior Art"
- How to best respond to Patent Office rejections

After spending the last year on defense, companies must be able to quickly shift gears and get back on offense - how quickly and what are the tripping-points for spending?
Special guests, Scott Gibson, Chairman of the Board, RadiSys Corporation and Brian Bronson, Chief Financial Officer, RadiSys Corporation will share how they are altering plans to take advantage of the economic uptick.
Discussion Points:
- Dealing with pressure from the Board to stay ahead and be ready to EMERGE NOW
- How to emerge responsibly without spending too much (for private companies - risking your opportunity to be an IPO candidate)
- What to spend money on - hiring, marketing, development
- How to manage your team - employee retention, moral
- Strategic Planning with uncertainty
What expectations does the Board currently hold for the CFO

How are you and your company going to come out of this recession? What has changed during the past two years? Where are things headed for your business? Companies are reinventing themselves in a variety of ways - through diversification of products and markets; by shifting more manufacturing and sourcing to Asia; by hiring or contracting for staff whose skills werenât even mentioned in job descriptions at the turn of the century (10 years ago!) With all of this change, whatâs happening to the engineering jobs in Portland, and how does the role of the Engineering Executive need to change and adapt?
This dinner forum is available to CTO and Engineering Executives from member and nonmember companies.
Thank you Marger Johnson & McCollom PC for sponsoring this event. |

An Integrated Development Tools Stack: Soup-to-Nuts Implementation in Practice
Roll back
description |
Presented by the Software Association of Oregon's Developers Forum
In today's software development projects there are more tools and technology choices than ever before but few are seamlessly integrated. Although significant advances have occurred in the last 20 years, it remains a challenge to build an efficient, cost effective and integrated development tools stack that enables rapid development, testing, and release. Efficient use of a full spectrum of tools is crucial to any company for productive high quality development. The newest tools can make significant productivity gains possible when used effectively.
Panel members will demonstrate working tools they've integrated in their development environments, and offer practical advice for adoption, benefits, challenges and usage.
Code Health: Alex Kriegel, an Enterprise Architect for the State of Oregon, Alex has recently helped to introduce a software factory approach to software development at Public Health Division of the Oregon State Department of Human Services. This led to investigation of a wide variety of efficiency-inducing tools. He will provide a quick demonstration of code health tools including static code analysis (PMD, CheckStyle, FxCop), code coverage (NCover, EMMA) and an integrated code review process.
Continuous Integration: Tom Waterhouse, a software architect at Sabrix Inc, the leading provider of transaction tax management, has been at Sabrix for over 8 years overseeing the technological growth of the company. Tom will demonstrate a continuous integration scenario where a checkin to subversion triggers a build in Bamboo via Maven which triggers a success or failure email upon build completion, and checkins are reconciled against stories in JIRA.
Developer Integration Testing: Andrew Wright, a Principal Engineer at Blackbox Republic, has been building software for companies such as Jive and Iovation for over a decade. Heâll demonstrate a repeatable dataset generation system for databases as well as other data stores such as lucene, enabling developer oriented integration testing to occur in development. This solution utilizes maven, hibernate, and groovy.
Even if you donât use any of the tools listed, there are best practices to be had that you could apply to your tools stack. Come loaded with questions for these panel members to get ideas for optimizing your development tools stack.

SAOpdx: I Wish Iâd Thought of That: Creative Approaches to Closing Deals
Roll back

Presented by the Software Association of Oregon's Marketing + Sales Forum
All the best new ideas have one thing in common: they make you ask, "Why didn't I think of that?" And when you finally get wise, you can only slap yourself on the forehead and promise to steal the idea the next time you can.
The Software Association of Oregon's Marketing and Sales Forum (MSF) brings together seven of Portland's top deal makers to each share one creative closing technique. You'll leave the event with a new angle on how to close that stalled deal.
Do you have a closing trick of your own? The panelists will also field ideas from the audience, give feedback, and award prizes for the most innovative ideas.
The Marketing and Sales Forum consistently gathers local thought leaders to share success stories and strategies that help bolster the entire community. Don't miss this opportunity to learn something new and hobnob with Portland's most creative marketing and sales professionals.
Join us after the program (7:00-8:00) for extended networking and a meet + greet with the presenters. |

An Integrated Development Tools Stack: Soup-to-Nuts Implementation in Practice
Roll back
description |

→ |
Presented by the Software Association of Oregon's Developers Forum
In today's software development projects there are more tools and technology choices than ever before but few are seamlessly integrated. Although significant advances have occurred in the last 20 years, it remains a challenge to build an efficient, cost effective and integrated development tools stack that enables rapid development, testing, and release. Efficient use of a full spectrum of tools is crucial to any company for productive high quality development. The newest tools can make significant productivity gains possible when used effectively.
Panel members will demonstrate working tools they've integrated in their development environments, and offer practical advice for adoption, benefits, challenges and usage.
Code Health: Alex Kriegel, an Enterprise Architect for the State of Oregon, Alex has recently helped to introduce a software factory approach to software development at Public Health Division of the Oregon State Department of Human Services. This led to investigation of a wide variety of efficiency-inducing tools. He will provide a quick demonstration of code health tools including static code analysis (PMD, CheckStyle, FxCop), code coverage (NCover, EMMA) and an integrated code review process.
Continuous Integration: Tom Waterhouse, a software architect at Sabrix Inc, the leading provider of transaction tax management, has been at Sabrix for over 8 years overseeing the technological growth of the company. Tom will demonstrate a continuous integration scenario where a checkin to subversion triggers a build in Bamboo via Maven which triggers a success or failure email upon build completion, and checkins are reconciled against stories in JIRA.
Developer Integration Testing: Andrew Wright, a Principal Engineer at Blackbox Republic, has been building software for companies such as Jive and Iovation for over a decade. Heâll demonstrate a repeatable dataset generation system for databases as well as other data stores such as lucene, enabling developer oriented integration testing to occur in development. This solution utilizes maven, hibernate, and groovy.
Even if you donât use any of the tools listed, there are best practices to be had that you could apply to your tools stack. Come loaded with questions for these panel members to get ideas for optimizing your development tools stack.

End Bloglessness 3
Roll back
description |
That's right, time to End Bloglessness, AGAIN! Whoo-Hoo! Gather up your friends, family, or any one else you can think of who has been looking to start a blog and come join us!
Sunday, October 4th from 12:00-5:00pm
Format
Each session will be 1 hour: 15 minute presentation and 45 minutes of assisted help. During assisted help, attendees can raise their hands to get help from one of our assistants. Assistants are folks from the Portland tech scene that have done this process before who can help you with your questions.
Agenda
* Session 1 - Sign up for your blog 12:00-1:00pm;
* Session 2 - Dial in the settings for your blog 1:00-2:00pm;
* Session 3 - Intro to posting on your blog 2:00-3:00pm;
* Session 4 - How to promote your blog 3:00-4:00pm;
* 4:00-5:00pm will be an open help time to ask help with anything you'd like.
What to expect
We are focusing on WordPress blogs for this workshop. We chose WordPress so that if your blog is going well enough and you need to graduate to a hosted blog, you're data and experience will be compatible.
By the time you leave the workshop, you'll have a blog that is ready to go and some direction on how to connect with other local bloggers. We are expecting people from all skill levels, including the technically challenged. Everyone will be treated with respect and will be encouraged.
We'll be hosting the event at Webtrends. There are some computers available to use, but we highly recommend bringing your laptop if you have one as there likely won't be enough computers for everyone.
Help us get the word out!
Most of the people we're hoping to reach are either to far outside of our social circles or are offline completely. We could use your help in letting people know about this free workshop to get a blog up and running. We don't care if your motivation to blog is personal, professional, or political; we'll help you get one up and running.
* Tweet the link to this page http://bit.ly/ufsYL
* Email this page to a friend
* RSVP on Upcoming and Calagator
* Tell someone in real life using your voice. Crazy, huh?
Why is this free?
We're hoping to make new friends and be good citizens. We don't want to be an insular group, so we want to enable others to join. And, because we're Portlanders inspired by other Portlanders to DIY and that Yes We Can. :)
Help out
If you have experience with installing WordPress, we'd love to have you help answer people's questions. Please leave us a comment below if you're interested in helping! |
