create Calagator::Event 1250474553 AgilePDX: Lean Coffee in the North Roll back

description nil → Join us for coffee/tea or beverage of your choice and fun discussions about how to overcome challenges we face or to share about Agile-inspired and other topics we agree or disagree with. This event is aimed at getting people in the North and NE areas of Portland together to facilitate discussions. It's not exclusive to people that live in the North and NE, just closer to those parts of the city to make it easier to come out. (If you want something other than tea or coffee, you'll have to bring it with you. We'll have hot water and cups available.) **Percipio Consulting Group is opening up their offices to host this event.** Percipio is a business consulting firm that helps companies identify opportunities for improvement and successfully implement meaningful changes. That means more efficient processes, shored-up controls, a technology solution that really works for you, or all of the above. They have helped many companies, both Fortune 500 and mid-sized, navigate complex projects by truly understanding business needs and defining up front what success will look like. **Parking:** Use the Gotham Building Parking lot on the corner of N Page St and N Borthwick Ave. **Building Entry:** Entry to the building is best through the door by Little Gotham Coffee. We'll have someone meeting on time attendees at the door. For those that run a few minutes late due to traffic or other reasons out of your control, there will be directions at the door on how to contact someone to let you in. We'll spend the first few minutes gathering discussion ideas, then roll right into the smooth easy cadence of the lively chatter. ##**New to Lean Coffee?** It's a great way to have real, focused dialogue and we often discuss matters of agile, lean and such - but anything goes. As far as the mechanics, here's the format we'll follow: **Step 1:** Everybody writes down proposed topics on stickies, placing them in the center of the table. Take as much time as needed, but typically takes only 3-5 minutes (or whenever coffee is ready). **Step 2:** Each topic is briefly described by its writer to get a flavor for the subject (15-30 seconds typically per sticky). **Step 3:** Each person gets five votes which they indicate by marking the voted-for sticky with their Sharpie. Mark with a plus + if you agree with the topic and want to discuss it, or a minus - if you disagree and want to discuss it, mark it with a dot if you want to hear the discussion and maybe join in. You can put all votes on one, one across many, however you feel. Each mark counts as one vote. **Step 4:** The top vote-getting stickies are placed in the ToDo column, ordered by the stickies with the most votes at the top. In an Agile fashion, we'll use groupings of ToDo, Doing, Done and Lessons learned. **Step 5:** Each of these stickies are discussed for 5 minutes, most votes first. The facilitator takes a quick "Cesar" (thumbs up/down) vote at the five-minute timer, and she moves on for three more minutes if the discussion still has majority interest. When complete, move the sticky over to the Done column. Rinse and repeat. **Step 6:** wrap-up thoughts at the end - what one idea or person did you most enjoy, then break for home/drinks/cover.

description Join us for a beer (or beverage of your choice) and a snack at the Rogue Eastside Pub to discuss "Flat Army" by Dan Pontefract. He says he has the strategy to solve the challenges of unhappy and uncommitted employees, and it's based on empowerment: "Your people are your most valuable asset, and if you want them to excel (and your profits to soar), you'll need to abandon your traditional command-and-control management style and adopt a collaborative, open leadership approach―one that engages and empowers your people. While this isn't a particularly new idea, many leaders, while they may pay lip service to it, don't really understand what it means. And most of those who do get it lack the skills for putting it into practice. In Flat Army you'll find powerful leadership models and tools that help you challenge yourself and overcome your personal obstacles to change, while pushing the boundaries of organizational change to create a culture of collaboration." Let's discuss the pros and cons of his approached and compare it to our real-world experiences and experiments. We look forward to your creative insights! **Tip: It's worth reading some online book reviews for critical perspectives.** **RSVP:** https://www.meetup.com/AgilePDX-User-Group-Portland-Metro/events/256215771/ → **RSVP:** https://www.meetup.com/AgilePDX-User-Group-Portland-Metro/events/256215771/ *** Join us for a beer (or beverage of your choice) and a snack at the Rogue Eastside Pub to discuss "Flat Army" by Dan Pontefract.

update Calagator::Event 1250474523 Portland Perl Mongers - Ingy dot Net on TestML, Data Driven Testing for All Modern Programming Languages Roll back

description TestML - Data Driven Testing for All Modern Programming Languages In 2004 I created the Test::Base data driven testing module for CPAN. It became popular with several prolific CPAN authors like MIYAGAWA and became the main testing framework for companies like Socialtext and OpenResty, In 2010 I decided to "Acmeize" it and I made TestML with the intent of making it work in all programming languages. I got it going in Perl5/CPAN and a couple other languages. In 2017 OpenResty paid me to write a new version of the language in their proprietary ecosystem, and the resulting idea was really much better. They allowed me to take the new ideas to Open Source and in 2018 I have the new great TestML language. It is currently working in 8 languages (Bash, CoffeeScript, Go, JavaScript, Perl 5, Perl 6, Python 2 and Python 3) and easy to port. Other ports are under way including C++. The official YAML test suite is written in TestML! In this talk I will: - Introduce you to the TestML language (it's so simple, most programs are a single line!) - Show how TestML works well with any language's existing test frameworks - Show how to use in Perl 5 and 6 and others - Show how the language is compiled to Lingy (a JSON based Lisp) - Show how to port TestML to a new programming language or test framework - and much more! → TestML - Data Driven Testing for All Modern Programming Languages by Ingy dot Net In 2004 I created the Test::Base data driven testing module for CPAN.

In honor of our theme, PDXWIT and Women Who Code Portland will be recognizing individuals for their great work over the year transforming the technology industry. PDXWIT will be honoring two individuals, Best Contributor and Best Speaker.

The Best Contributor award will be selected in advance by a panel, and finalists for the Best Speaker Award will perform runoff Lightning Talks at the Holiday Party. The winner will be selected by text-to-vote. Women Who Code regularly celebrates their members' achievements with the #ApplaudHer hashtag. The #ApplaudHer hashtag highlights victories such as accepting a new position, receiving a promotion, speaking at a conference or meeting a personal goal. The concept is simple: Women Who Code believes that recognition can create change and that rewriting public perceptions can transform tech. During the Women + Tech Holiday Party, Women Who Code will be announcing the Technical Leadership and Rising Tech Star award winners, chosen from the submissions received. Please submit your nominations before the end of day on December 1, 2018. While the event is primarily intended for networking, we will have a short program to hear from our sponsors and introduce and announce awards. During the event, we’ll have more to do than free-form networking: - an activity table where people can get creative. This is a fantastic way to meet others if large groups are not your thing. If you have trouble finding it, look for Meg Aul, our Event Activities Director. - table topics to help break the ice. - a section for job seekers and those hiring to ensure people get connected. - a #GiveGuide table with raffle prizes and other goodies for folks who decide to support PDXWIT that evening.

create Calagator::Event 1250474547 Probabilistic programming from scratch w/ David Molina Roll back

description nil → This month we'll focus a bit more on the 'programming' part of Probabilisitic Programming. First we'll have: Probabilistic programming from scratch Real world observational data is always imperfect or incomplete in some way. Those limitations mean that what we learn from our data is somewhat uncertain. We want to fill in the blanks to the extent possible and be able to say how confident we are as we do this. This is inference. Probabilistic programming makes it easier to learn from data. Let’s see how to build a basic probabilistic programming system from scratch in Python to introduce Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC), which is a specific, extremely simple algorithm to perform Bayesian inference. Bio: David is a Business Analyst and Software Developer with six years of corporate experience in building databases, managing and analyzing large data sets, and optimizing systems and processes. Machine Learning enthusiast focused on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and visual recognition. Then we'll introduce and discuss "An Introduction to Probabilistic Programming" https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.10756 and explore some of the concepts we've covered using Pyro http://pyro.ai

description nil → NOTE: $15 for non-members / $5 for students. RSVP via Eventbrite, link on damapdx.org Presented by Melanie Mecca Director, Data Management Product and Services, CMMI Institute Data Management Maturity – Why We Need It and How It Can Propel You to DM Leadership Our industry is continually building capabilities based on its considerable accomplishments over the past decades. Some of the (roughly) sequential milestone markers that most organization share include: data design, data administration, data architecture / warehousing, data quality and governance, MDM, and predictive analytics using both structured and unstructured data. So why haven’t organizations attained DM perfection? As we know, the data layer in the vast majority of organizations grew project by project, typically to meet specific needs of a line of business. Best practices were not usually shared, useful work products languished in project repositories, etc. – and above all, there was no universal mandate to manage data as a critical corporate asset. The Data Management Maturity (DMM)SM Model’s primary goals are to accelerate organization-wide DM programs by: providing a sound reference model to quickly evaluate capabilities, strengths and gaps; accelerating business engagement; launching a collaborative vision / strategy; and identifying key initiatives to extend existing capabilities while building new ones – leading to efficiency, cost savings, creativity, and improved data quality. In this seminar, we’ll address: Data Management Capabilities and Maturity Evaluation The DMM in action – interactive exercise with the Business Glossary – rate your organization! Case study examples – how organizations have accelerated their progress How to leverage Data Management Maturity to empower your career. Speaker Melanie Mecca, CMMI Institute’s Director of Data Management Products and Services, has solved enterprise data challenges for 30+ years, and is the managing author of the Data Management Maturity (DMM) SM Model. She created a business-centric method for evaluating an organization’s data management capabilities, which delivers targeted, actionable results for organizations in multiple industries. Ms. Mecca’s led development of a series of courses and web-based learning leading to the Enterprise Data Management Expert (EDME) certification. She teaches seminars, presents at conferences and webinars, is a regular columnist for The Data Administration Newsletter, and a contributor to the Data Management Body of Knowledge 2.0. Ms. Mecca advocates measurement of data management capabilities as the quickest acceleration path for achieving business value, empowering governance, and advancing the organization’s data strategy. Regular presenter at DGIQ, Financial DG, Winter DG, EDW, and many other conference venues. Columnist for TDAN “Data Professional Introspective,” webinars for DataVersity, ISACA, Data Driven Business, and CMMI Institute. Direct IP and data management course development.

description nil → The City of Portland is pleased to invite you to our Privacy and Data Protection Residents Rights initiative community engagement on November 6th at 10 AM at the Old Church (1422 SW 11th Ave. Portland, OR 97201) The Bureau of Equity and Human Rights, the mayor’s office and Smart City PDX, are coordinating an internal work in the city to develop a list of Privacy and Data Protection Residents Rights for city services. We have invited Digital Privacy officials from the cities of Seattle and Oakland to help us with their expertise to facilitate this process. We are aiming to bring a first draft of that list of Privacy and Data Protection Rights to this two-hour community session, where we expect to have an interactive work with community members that are particularly involved with promoting digital equity and developing technological capacity. If the city of Portland passes a set of Privacy and Data Protection Residents Rights, it would be the first in the nation to step forward in creating a new level of understanding our communities in a data-rich society. Adopting privacy and data protection rights not only involves a deeper commitment from the city, but also greater community engagement and understanding of the responsibilities of owning your own data and the implications of that in people’s lives. Please, reserve your space using in the following link and join us in this discussion. we are looking forward to listening to your opinion and perspectives on these important issues: https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3725271 The agenda will be publish on this site on November 5th:https://www.smartcitypdx.com/events/2018/11/6/community-engagement-session-on-privacy-and-data-protection-in-the-city-of-portland

You’ll learn about PM career paths and progression, their spheres of responsibility, decision making authorities, alignment with other functions, reporting lines, and the outlook for the future of the role. Some of the findings are bound to surprise you, others will probably confirm what you suspected but didn’t know for sure. Join Eric Boduch, chief evangelist and co-founder of Pendo, for a rich discussion on the key characteristics of the highest performing product leaders.

We'll have plenty of time at the start and end of the meetup for tasty beverages and networking.</p> <p>Speakers</p> <p>Impacting Product Development with Net Promoter Score & Customer Data<br>Camila Morrison, Product Manager</p> <p>As a product manager, you may have different types of feedback and data from product users/customers. Some of that could be Net Promoter Score (NPS) results, e-commerce data, community media verbatims, or other survey information. Learn what’s going on with NPS and other customer data to look at it from a product use perspective. Then see how to translate that into making changes to your product to better connect with customers, improve your value proposition, and make more revenue.</p> <p>Camila Morrison is a product manager in tech who has worked across a variety of areas in product management from concept/market/UX roles to managing a team in the development arena. Also in her experience, is running a Net Promoter System to drive improvements across the customer product lifecycle. She was in marketing management for companies that included utility control center software. Her background includes leading marketing research projects for tech, utility, transportation, ad/media, healthcare, retail, tourism, and non-profit industries.</p> <p>---</p> <p>The Product Manager Career Lifecycle<br>Mike Kruse, Product Manager</p> <p>After spending many years as a product manager in both large and small organizations, Mike would like to share the application of a tool we use in our day job to our career.</p> <p>Mike began in software development and fell into the product manager role – initially informally and then formally. He has worked in a number of B2B and B2C markets including graphics processors, networking systems, digital media, educational software and currently fintech. One item on his bucket list is to master all 37 activities on the Pragmatic framework or to visit all 50 states in the US.</p> <p>Mike is also one of the ProductCamp Portland co-founders, an annual product management un-conference that began in 2012. It provides him with the opportunity to create a new product every year and in doing so, apply a wide range of product management skills that he rarely gets to exercise.</p>
