<p>With ARC and Swift, memory management isn't nearly as difficult as it used to be, but I think every app developer has bumped up against problems with memory management at some point in their career, whether that shows up as crashes or poor performance or just plain weirdness at run-time. This month I'll go over a few tips 'n' tricks I've collected over the years about how to find and fix problems which stem from the mismanagement of memory using the tools built-in to Xcode and Instruments.</p> <p>Hope to see you there!<br>Ryan</p> |

Note: Food will *not* be provided, but is available for order. At 6:30, I'll make a few announcements --</p> <p>Anyone who wants to try out a "preview" of a conference talk (5-10 min), or just present their draft proposal for comments, can speak to the group (or ask questions) after that.</p> |

Building, Dismantling, and Re-using Community Initiatives over Time
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
Building a successful Community program is a wonderful experience at the core of Community Management. What happens, however, when programs inevitably decline? This talk is about the equally important steps of eliminating outdated initiatives, deconstructing your favorite successes, and rebuilding from their foundations. Kara Sowles will take us through some concrete examples from her 5 years at a single company, including:
* a user group program growing from 5 groups to 70 worldwide (and what it looks like to scale back after all that growth),
* abandoning a series of 30/year one-day conferences,
* remaking an online triage event into an online hack day, and more.
We'll discuss the importance of having larger frameworks that you can plug programs into
(and out) of, and the experience of destroying your favorite programs to stay nimble.
Kara Sowles is the Manager of Community and Evangelism at the software company Puppet, where she's spent the past 5 years leading strategic planning and implementation of the company's global community programs. |

How do you grow a scrum practice?

How do we spread our practice as an organization?
What can we do to bring on new scrum masters and other team members?
Organizations new and old struggle with these concepts at various junctions in their agile journeys. Share what you have learned, struggled with, and succeeded at. Or just hear from others who have been there and\or sharing these daily struggles so you are ready when it's your turn! |

Cynefin & Complexity Foundations
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
In today’s increasingly volatile and uncertain world, there is a need for new ways of making sense of current situations and managing in new and rapidly shifting contexts. Our past practices and approaches are failing us and what had worked reliably during more stable times in the past is unfortunately proving inadequate for the dynamic present. This course introduces concepts which challenge the deeply rooted thinking patterns that have been ingrained by years of conventional thinking.
Take a dive into complexity theory, and the practical implications for operating in a world of inherent uncertainty. Learn about the Cynefin framework – and how to apply it in organisations; how to make better decisions, dependent on the situation; as well as a range of practical methods that you can apply directly in organisations.
What it’s about:
Complexity has become a buzzword for the world we work within - this course provides you with the foundational tools to understand what it means to act and manage in complexity.
Cynefin and Complexity Foundations forms the core component of Cognitive Edge's training offerings. It contributes the basic scaffolds and key components of your sense-making toolkit for working in complex environments.
Who it is for:
This course designed for people who work in constantly-evolving, dynamic situations, dealing daily with uncertainty and risk, and looking for a enhanced compass for building organisations that are both resilient and innovative. Whether you work in an organisation navigating intractable problems, or are a consultant looking to include complexity principles into your practice - or if you are simply complexity-curious - this Foundations class is for you.
What we will cover:
This has been designed as a 2-day session - a combination of deep immersion into the fundamentals of working in complexity, and with the Cynefin framework. This will be substantiated by lots of hands-on methods-based activities, and group-based discussions.
The session will begin with an introduction to complexity, and the natural and human science that sit behind the naturalising tradition in sense-making. Discover and manage the evolutionary potential of the present by increasing situational awareness of the types of systems that we sit within, and how to modulate within complex systems.
The Cynefin framework has subtleties and nuances which are not easily accessible to the casual reader. Building on the basics outlined in the Harvard Business Review article, this 2-day session will help you dig deeper into the uses of the framework, accompanied by facilitated workshop activities and tools.

And so much more.
We will be touring the space, sipping beverages, eating snacks, and providing answers to your insightful questions. So come along for the tour — this is one you don’t want to miss!
<strong>Spend the day in Vancouver</strong>
Nervous about the post-work commute? We have shifted the start-time of Studio Tours to 6:00PM to accommodate travel, but we also recommend that you spend the day working in Vancouver! This great city (just north of Portland) offers wonderful work-friendly cafes and brewpubs to keep you focused, motivated, and exploring.
<strong>What are AIGA Portland Studio Tours?</strong>
Studio Tours is a bi-monthly expedition that offers rare guided tours of local studios. We take an exclusive inside look at the work, people and culture. Rotating between the city’s four quadrants and beyond, Studio Tours explores the diverse design community within Portland.

At Alchemy Code Lab, we strive to cultivate more creativity, opportunity, and impact for everyone in our community through code. That’s why we’re excited to announce App Lab, a brand new consultancy program that combines the fresh talent of Alchemy grads with the seasoned skill of Alchemy mentors to bring the web & mobile application ideas of local entrepreneurs, businesses, and nonprofits to life!
Do you have a vision for an app or a technology component of your business you’ve been unable to realize? The reality is that paying full price for an MVP or internal app has traditionally be cost-prohibitive -- and as a result, many ideas simply never get built.
Come learn about App Lab’s cost-effective approach to small-scale app development (think beauty school haircut or culinary institute dining, but for apps) and see if our consultancy is a good fit!

***Registration through Eventbrite [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pdxwit-january-happy-hour-networking-event-tickets-40888648047] is required to avoid having to manually check-in at the event ***
Join us for happy hour at SurveyMonkey on January 23rd.
People often talk about creating a work culture that allows people to “bring their best self to work.” To start the conversation, we are asking “what is an important personal value you bring to work?” with an aim to allow us to explore our best selves.
While the event is primarily intended for networking, we will have a short segment at 5:30 to share important announcements and showcase three women in our community.
Introduction to SurveyMonkey, including what they do and what job opportunities are available.
Amy King, Senior Product Manager at Digimarc [https://www.digimarc.com/], will talk about picking the right approach to design for emerging vs. established technologies.
Madonnalisa Chan, Freelance Information Architect - Taxonomist, will talk about making values-based decisions in your career.

Join us for happy hour at SurveyMonkey on January 23rd.
People often talk about creating a work culture that allows people to “bring their best self to work.” To start the conversation, we are asking “what is an important personal value you bring to work?” with an aim to allow us to explore our best selves.
While the event is primarily intended for networking, we will have a short segment at 5:30 to share important announcements and showcase three women in our community.
Introduction to SurveyMonkey, including what they do and what job opportunities are available.
Amy King, Senior Product Manager at Digimarc [https://www.digimarc.com/], will talk about picking the right approach to design for emerging vs. established technologies.
Madonnalisa Chan, Freelance Information Architect - Taxonomist, will talk about making values-based decisions in your career.
