September Camp Optimization Meet-up - What the Hell is a Design Sprint?

What the hell is a Design Sprint?
We live in the age of frameworks and methodologies. Everyone tells you they know the best way to solve problems. They say you should be more Lean or Agile. They tell you all about how they used Design Thinking on Design Thinking. You read all the books, all the articles, but still receive no tactical methods to walk away with.
Silas Sao, Design Director at moovel North America, would like to change that by spending the evening walking through the Design Sprint principles and process. He will demonstrate a tactical method you can use to solve problems or make decisions, and you'll walk away with a better understanding of the most up-to-date Design Sprint process. He will even set you up with a tool you can use right away on your next project or with your next client. |

SharePoint Framework (SPFx) Overview @ Portland SharePoint User Group
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
The SharePoint Framework (SPFx) is a powerful set of tools for building web parts and other custom code solutions. Microsoft has positioned SPFx as a replacement for the popular JavaScript injection approach as well as other previous development models. SPFx has matured dramatically since its introduction a few years ago and now not only supports developing for SharePoint online but also SharePoint on-premise and even Teams.
To show you how quickly you can get started with the Framework, we’ll demo how you can create and deploy a Hello World app to an Office 365 tenant. And, then, to see some of the advantages to using SPFx compared to the old JavaScript injection approach we’ll demo a solution originally written using JavaScript injection alongside the refactored version written using SPFx.
This presentation does discuss code briefly at points, but is not a code deep dive. It is intended for anyone who is simply interested in modern development approaches in SharePoint and Office 365 whether they code themselves or happen to work alongside developers or consultants.
Erik Benke is a Senior SharePoint Developer and Architect at Mentor Graphics (a Siemens Business). |

AgilePDX User Group - Portland Metro - An Agile Framework for Product Development Agencies: Agility Design for Hardware
Roll back
| description |
nil |

Join us as we explore a framework for iterative hardware-based product development. Kris Dobelstein will share insights into leveraging an Agile mindset, methodologies, and tools to envision product goals, clarify assumptions, uncover risk, align teams, and prioritize development resulting in timely, highly relevant products.
Agile practices aren't new, they're just rarely used effectively outside of software development. We'll give historical and practical examples, mostly from aviation, to illustrate some time-worn strategies for implementing Agile practices in hardware development. Most notably, an Agile product development framework for hardware products needs to:
1) Start slow to go fast
2) Delay key decisions as long as possible
3) Leverage 21st-century prototyping tools
4) Value high-bandwidth collaboration between teams, customers, and vendors over specifications, requirements, and contracts
Kris will provide an overview of a typical development cycle, highlighting how to get started with vision boarding, the product narrative, and development pre-mortem.
Then we will take a look at how to get the development ball rolling and maintain momentum in opportunity-rich environments using provisional architectures, various value lenses, customer feedback, and the all-important retrospective.
Come learn how hardware development offers unique opportunities to practice agility!

- "Agile" product development isn't just 20 years old. In fact, highly collaborative, iterative development has been around for 80+ years.
- Agile isn't about choosing a particular framework, it's about your mindset.
- When you're making hardware, iterative approaches need to take the steps of designing and making tangibles into account.
- Strategic communication tools help teams think about how to get started and align around a common vision so that they can learn to share iterations across disciplines.
- Practical approaches for keeping hardware development modular and iterative.
**About the Presenter**
Kris Dobelstein has led hardware product development efforts using a variety of methodologies and techniques over the last decade. He has experimented with traditional and Agile project management methodologies and is constantly (and enthusiastically) looking for ways to evolve project management to optimize for creating products that customers love while keeping development efforts sustainable and enjoyable. He is a Pacific Northwest native and lives, works, and plays in Portland, Oregon with his family.

What is Coderetreat?
Coderetreat is a day-long practice event that focuses on the fundamentals of good software development and design. Developers are given the opportunity of focused practice away from the pressures of “getting things done”, allowing them to sharpen their craft and to learn new skills in a safe environment. Yes, this event is women-focused, and everyone is welcome.
(Originally developed by Corey Haines, the global webpage is located at http://coderetreat.org/ if you would like to read more about it.)
Why attend a Coderetreat?
~ Learn new skills to help you write better code
~ Learn to take risks and experiment
~ Learn to practice writing code
~ Gain collaborative experience through pair programming
~ Network and make new friends
Wait...it’s free?
Yes, Coderetreat is free. There are simply 2 requirements that will help you get the most out of a Coderetreat:
~ Show up with an open mind and learner’s attitude.
~ Bring a laptop with a working development environment and testing framework, and be prepared to use it (see below for a list of popular IDEs).
What does a full day of coding practice involve?
Coderetreat is built on a specific formula. The day consists of usually 5-7 45-minute iterations in which participants are presented with a specific problem that they need to code. Emphasis is NOT placed on finishing, in fact participants are not expected to finish within the given 45 minutes. Instead, the emphasis is placed on learning new skills that enable participants to write code in a different way than would normally be the case. Participants change partners with each iteration, with the goal being that everyone should pair with someone different for every iteration. Techniques such as Test Driven Development will be introduced, with exposure to core fundamentals such as the 4 Rules of Simple Design and SOLID. Breakfast and lunch are both included, with gluten free options available. This is your chance to learn something new, and to be fed while doing it.
If you learn one new thing that you can take back to the office, you have a win, and so do we! We’ll also be supporting you in understanding the importance of taking care of yourself while coding and strategies for attracting skills transfer opportunities.
Come early and meet other attendees for a leisurely chat over coffee!
More details and handouts will be posted as we near the event, so watch this space and manage your RSVP so we have an accurate food and coffee headcount. This space is cozy, so seats are limited.
Popular Development Environments: PyCharm Community, VS Code, Visual Studio Community, Aptana Studio, Eclipse, Netbeans |

Hey everybody. Got a bug you just can't land? Is there a recent CVE you've been eyeballing seductively? Just want to brush up on your APPSEC or OPSEC? Do none of the above questions make any sense, but you're interested in computer security?
PDX Exploit Workshop is the longest running security meetup in Portland (10 years!). It's an open, self driven event for people interested in computer security. Whether you're a novice or career professional, all are welcome. It's always a good time to learn about security!
We spend this dedicated time each week researching and exploring topics of software and hardware security as well as working on personal and group projects. Occasionally we have presentations on our findings. Bring a willingness to learn, a curiosity about security, and/or a specific area of interest to share with others.
This group meets in the PDX Hackerspace mainspace which has comfy seating, deluxe wifi (thanks Kyle!), Club Mate soda in the snack shack, and hackable LED displays to play around with.
p.s. This event is open to everyone! No ^H membership is required to attend. All are welcome. That means you!

For 85 years, LEGO has been a staple of play. Around the world, the iconic bricks bring children and parents together to discover the wonder of making and building anything imaginable.
A key mission for the LEGO Group in recent years has been education; the company is developing curriculum to inspire students to engage and learn effectively. That mandate means Lego has extended its reach into coding for kids, STEM projects, robots, software, and classroom initiatives.
Anna Ly oversees innovation for LEGO Education. Before joining LEGO, Anna worked at Sesame Workshop, the global non-profit behind Sesame Street, creating innovative learning experiences for kids. Among her contributions there was the launch of Me.Mu for Kinect, which helps children with autism practice social skills while developing general motor coordination, helping earning her recognition as a Forbes 30 under 30 recipient.
For our latest Q&A, Anna will join Work & Co Founding Partner Joe Stewart — who has designed award-winning experiences for Apple, Virgin America and Philz Coffee — in conversation about LEGO’s continuing evolution and using design to foster innovation in the world of childhood education. |

Do you want to improve your storytelling with engaging content?
Prior to Youtube, smartphones, and video editing software, we've been limited to creating dull and boring slideshows. Now that everyone has access to these tools, we can create engaging storytelling content that inspires our audience to action.
In this session, I'll share how to create amazing b-roll footage to add you our story. I'll share ideas on how to create openers, capture a journey, inspire action, and leave with a memorable outro.
Here's an example B-Roll challenge from one of my favorite YouTubers Peter McKinnon

Have you tried or do you have interesting ideas for light painting? If this is your first time, or if you're a pro, join us for a sharing session.
I'll start the Meetup with sharing my photos I've captured with long exposure. I'll bring my camera, light sword, and a light panel I used to capture my phenomenal paintings. I'll share what camera settings you can try if you're new to light painting.
If there is interest from the group, we can head down to the waterfront near Eastbank Esplanade to capture downtown during the blue hour.
Here's some inspiration on light painting

AgilePDX User Group - Portland Metro - Downtown Pub Lunch: Psychological safety - why do we need that?
Roll back
| description |
nil |

_Please RSVP here: https://www.meetup.com/AgilePDX-User-Group-Portland-Metro/events/264002905/_
Scrum and XP have values such as respect, communication, and openness. The Agile Manifesto highlights individuals and interactions and supporting project teams, trusting they will get the job done. Why are these values so important for effective collaboration and creation? And what keeps us from communicating openly? What stops us from suggesting an idea, a solution... it's a unique idea; it may be crazy; it may be absurd. Maybe better to not suggest it.
Amy Edmundson shows in her TedX talk that none of us come to work to look "ignorant, incomplete, intrusive, negative." Of course not - we want to connect and contribute, and make a positive impact. How can we get from choosing safe silence to choosing our voices? What can companies do to instill safety to speak up, safety to fail, and safety to express ourselves? And what can we as practitioners do, as peers and leaders in our work environments?
Please join us for this lunch discussion at the Ringlers Pub. We want to know your experience. We want to learn from each other and build our community of practice. We want a chance to discover what we have not seen and gain a new perspective.
You can find us in the back under the Crystal Ballroom, ask for the Agile PDX group and you will find us over yummy food and drinks.
Events are made possible by the AgilePDX community and our sponsors, including platinum sponsor ProFocus Technology (https://www.profocustechnology.com/). Learn more about our sponsors at https://agilepdx.org/sponsorship.
**Additional Information:**
Q: Is the space ADA accessible?
A: Yes, McMenamins Ringlers Pub is ADA accessible. Please note, doors are manual but the staff is available to assist should you require assistance.
Q: Will there be gender neutral restrooms?
A: McMenamins Ringlers Pub restrooms are designated Men and Women. There are no unisex/family/gender neutral restrooms at this location.
Q: Will there be food and drinks at this event?
A: Food & Drink (including alcohol) is available to purchase, and we have table service. Standard pub fare & pub prices.
Q: What is the easiest way to get to the venue?
A: Parking downtown is limited, so we recommend public transportation or a ride-share option, or another personal transportation (bicycle, etc). For public transportation options, please visit trimet website to plan your trip to Ringlers at 1332 W Burnside Street in Downtown Portland.
Q: How do I enter the building?
A: We are in the side room under the Crystal Ballroom. You can use the entrance on the corner of Burnside & 14th. Let yourself in, and find us at the large table. |

Portland Linux/Unix Group: Open Sourcing a Perl module
Roll back
| description |
nil |

Portland Linux/Unix Group General Meeting
Who: Andrew Hewus Fresh<br>
What: Open Sourcing DBIx::Class::Events, a Perl module<br>
Where: PSU, 1930 SW 4th Ave. Room FAB 86-01 (Lower Level)<br>
When: Thursday, September 5th, 2019 at 7pm<br>
Why: The pursuit of technology freedom
While I will explain about what DBIx::Class::Events does and how it
works as well as some of the underlying technologies it builds on, this
talk is primarily about open source contributions being driven by the
folks in a company who care about them and how it is up to those people
to provide the resources and knowledge to everyone else in order to
create an open source culture in the workplace. As far as I know, no
request to open source something has ever been denied by my employer,
and while the company has always had the same "go for it" attitude, the
folks writing code are only just starting to gain momentum releasing
things publicly. I'll talk about showing other folks in the company the
benefits of sharing code internally, how that exposed the benefits of
open-source in general, and how we as a company progressed to getting
DBIx::Class::Events onto the CPAN.
Many will head to the Lucky Lab at 1945 NW Quimby St. after the meeting.

Take the stairs or elevator to the lower level and head East, though you will quickly lose orientation. Look for room 86-01 and note that the parking garage also provides access from a level below for $6, up from $1.50 or so. :( |

Making Data Lakes more Reliable with Apache Spark and Delta Lakes
Delta Lake is an open-source storage layer that brings reliability to data lakes. Delta Lake offers ACID transactions, scalable metadata handling, and unifies streaming and batch data processing. It runs on top of your existing data lake and is fully compatible with Apache Spark APIs. In this talk, we will cover • All technical aspects of Delta Features • What’s coming • How to get started using it • How to contribute
About the Speaker
Tathagata Das is an Apache Spark committer and a member of the PMC. He’s the lead developer behind Spark Streaming and currently works on Delta Lake and Structured Streaming. Previously, he was a grad student in the UC Berkeley at AMPLab, where he conducted research about data-center frameworks and networks with Scott Shenker and Ion Stoica. |

Have you tried or do you have interesting ideas for light painting? If this is your first time, or if you're a pro, join us for a sharing session.
I'll start the Meetup with sharing my photos I've captured with long exposure. I'll bring my camera, light sword, and a light panel I used to capture my phenomenal paintings. I'll share what camera settings you can try if you're new to light painting.
If there is interest from the group, we can head down to the waterfront near Eastbank Esplanade to capture downtown during the blue hour.
Here's some inspiration on light painting

Hey everybody. Got a bug you just can't land? Is there a recent CVE you've been eyeballing seductively? Just want to brush up on your APPSEC or OPSEC? Do none of the above questions make any sense, but you're interested in computer security?
PDX Exploit Workshop is the longest running security meetup in Portland (10 years!). It's an open, self driven event for people interested in computer security. Whether you're a novice or career professional, all are welcome. It's always a good time to learn about security!
We spend this dedicated time each week researching and exploring topics of software and hardware security as well as working on personal and group projects. Occasionally we have presentations on our findings. Bring a willingness to learn, a curiosity about security, and/or a specific area of interest to share with others.
This group meets in the PDX Hackerspace mainspace which has comfy seating, deluxe wifi (thanks Kyle!), Club Mate soda in the snack shack, and hackable LED displays to play around with.
p.s. This event is open to everyone! No ^H membership is required to attend. All are welcome. That means you! |

Coffee w/ Co-Founders - Early Stage Fundraising Panel
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
Fundraising for your early stage startup is difficult. It's made even more difficult with the recent trend of smaller pre-revenue funding in the region. This month we will sit down with some area panelist to discuss funding trends, funding alternatives, and what can be done to get early stage companies better access to capital that can help take their companies to the next level.
This will be a "leave your feelings at the door" conversation. We will touch on what is really to blame for the lack of early stage funding access. Whether that means looking at local and regional funding resources that seemed to have dried up, to whether founders have companies that are investible.
Panelists:
Josh Carter - Manager, WeWork Labs (Moderator)
Nicole Schmidt - CEO/Co-Founder @ krowdsourced
Geoff Harris - Partner @ Flying Fish VC
Ross Barbieri - Angel Investor/EiR @ Portland State's Business Accelerator
About Coffee w/ Co-Founders: As a business owner you are faced with many challenges. You're forced to make decisions every day that could make or break your business. Coffee w/ Co-Founders is a way to network with other Entrepreneurs to allow free flowing information with the intent to collaborate and help each other. So often we're challenged and there's very little we can do to express our challenges with the people we work with or the people we care about. Think of Coffee w/ Co-Founders as your own personal support group for business owners. We're all here to help! |
