Technology Association of Oregon (TAO), in coordination with the Columbia-Willamette Workforce Collaborative (CWWC) has convened industry experts from across our region over the course of seven months to develop a Talent Strategy Plan. This plan is intended to galvanize collective action to address opportunities and gaps within the Tech talent pipeline. As an employer within this industry, you are invited to participate and celebrate this effort with our Tech Talent Strategy Plan Launch Party!
Why you should attend:
-Gather with like-minded peers to discover the priorities of solutions to regional talent issues.
-Learn about resources and investments from the public workforce system.
-Not to mention the event will include drinks, food and great conversation.
This effort is not only a regional effort among our local workforce boards, it has drawn the support of our industry association, and economic development entities. The Tech Talent Strategy Plan is action-oriented, outcomes-focused, and is developed by you and your industry peers.
The Columbia-Willamette Workforce Collaborative (CWWC) is a partnership between the Clackamas Workforce Partnership, Workforce Southwest Washington and Worksystems: the three Workforce Development Boards covering the Portland-Vancouver Metropolitan Area. The Collaborative delivers a unified approach to serving industry, supporting economic development, and guiding public workforce training investments to better address the needs of our combined labor shed.

<p>On Thursday, May 11th, <b><a href="https://secondstory.com/">Second Story</a> </b>will host Women Who Code Portland’s monthly Networking Night in their new design studio.</p> <p><br><a href="https://secondstory.com"><b>Second Story</b></a> is a network of experiential design studios working across the cultural and brand landscapes to elevate the art of storytelling. They build stories you can step inside of.</p> <p>The theme for the night is <b>Make It Happen: Improvising, Collaborating, Prototyping</b>. The format of the night is an “around the world”; after the welcome, we will break into 3 smaller groups and each smaller group will attend every session they offer. The night will be centered around how we work collaboratively, create prototypes that help us push the boundaries, and the leadership styles that make it all possible. </p> <p>We hope you’ll join us. <b><a href="https://secondstory.com/">Second Story</a> </b>is absolutely thrilled to host us in their new studio!</p> <p>
<b>Program</b></p> <p>6:00pm - 6:30pm – Doors Open + Networking</p> <p>6:30pm - 7:40pm – Welcome + Around the World Sessions</p> <p>7:30pm - 8:00pm – Networking </p> <p>
<b>Session #1 - Improvising To Become Better Collaborators</b></p> <p>We’re a highly collaborative studio making work that none of us could possibly produce on our own. Needless to say we have to be excellent listeners and collaborators. So that means we have to practice. <b><a href="https://twitter.com/laura_allcorn?lang=en">Laura Allcorn</a>, Creative Lead and Sr. Experience Designer</b>, will lead a brief improvisation workshop that we’ve used to help us brush up on our listening and collaboration skills. If the thought of this makes you nervous, please know this isn’t a performance and trying to be funny will be frowned upon!</p> <p><b>Session #2 - Getting Real Fast</b></p> <p>Prototyping is a necessity in our work. Our project teams will share how we prototype and why we do it. You’ll get a behind the scenes look at examples from projects with major museums and brands. Along the way we’ll share key learnings and show you how they evolved the experiences we ultimately created.</p> <p><b>Session #3 - Confronting Unconscious Bias OR Exposing Unconscious Bias OR Addressing Unconscious Bias</b></p> <p><b><a href="https://twitter.com/kelseysnook?lang=en">Kelsey Snook</a>, Creative Director</b>, will facilitate a discussion about women in leadership roles. We’ll share our approach to tackling unconscious bias with our Make Some Room campaign, an effort to increase inclusivity in the tech and creative fields.</p> <p>

Refresh Portland — Staying Creative When Your Day Job Is a Grind
Roll back

<em>Doors open at 5:30. Talk starts at 6pm.</em>
Ask any CEO: the creativity and innovative ideas of their employees are a key driver for business success. So why does so much of our work suck the creative energy right out of us?
It’s not just paper pushers who are struggling with creative burnout – designers, writers, programmers and others in de facto creative jobs find themselves bogged down in repetitive work while their best ideas are rejected by clients and management alike.
Why does this happen, and how can we combat creative burnout to reclaim our spark? From our desks at work to our living rooms at home, Cat will explore ways to conquer monotony, nurture inspiration, and boost our creative output. Oh, and have a lot more fun in the process.
<h3>Our Presenter, Cat Rayburn</h3>
Cat began her interactive design career making website Flash intros. Clients loved them! Users had no choice but to tolerate them. After a dark night of the soul, she spent the next 15 years trying to atone.
Now she’s a dogged advocate for users and an evangelist for user-centered methods, and recently served as co-leader of IxDA Portland. Cat has traversed design agencies, explored the uncharted territory of a freelance career, knocked about in the belly of the corporate beast, and finally repatriated to agency life. Each new move brought creative challenges, and yes, some creative ruts as well. She is currently a Lead UX Designer and Researcher at Amplified Design where she designs applications for the education, IoT, non-profit, automotive and healthcare sectors.
Outside work she makes costumes with sporks, caution tape, artificial birds, and sometimes fabric. |

Are There Dangers to Consciousness Hacking?
Roll back
| description |
nil |

What are the risks of consciousness raising? Consciousness raising is usually a good experience and it might be tempting to pursue without considering the consequences. In this meetup, we will use the Lean Coffee format to discuss aspects of consciousness raising, including:
• What do you see as the benefits of CH? What about the costs?
• How do you experience NOSC?
• Have you used technology to increase your awareness? If so, what have you used? What was your experience?
• Have you used other methods (non-technological) to increase your awareness?
• The CH movement is focused on technologies that raise/alter consciousness. What would you include in this area? Are there consciousness-raising techniques you’d like to include, even if they aren’t related to technology?
What is the Lean Coffee discussion format? Check out the Lean Coffee website here.
In this discussion, participants set the agenda. Our last 2 meetups have generated vibrant discussions of consciousness hacking, what it is, and how it works. Tonight we want to personalize it. How does it work in your life? Are there any methods you want to try? What consciousness-raising topics would you like to discuss tonight? Are there other topics you’d like to learn more about in the future?
Come join us, meet other Consciousness Hackers, and have a tasty dinner at Shut Up and Eat. |

Four Viewpoints on SAFe
Roll back
| description |
nil |

The Scaled Agile Framework has become a strong force among enterprises pursuing agility. And with it have come strong opinions—in some cases, almost armed camps. This makes no sense. So, in the pursuit of sense, AgilePDX will host a panel of four experienced agilists all with different perspectives on SAFe, from the relatively naïve, to the roundly and soundly certified, to the confirmed skeptic.
Come join us. This ought to be a ball!
Come prepared to hear four distinct viewpoints and bring your questions. We have experts!
Jean Richardson (panel facilitator), like many of our panelists, is a member of the AgilePDX Coordinating Committee. She is a coach providing support and guidance for agile-aspiring organizations and leaders in transition grappling with models that function to support agility and navigate complexity. Her background includes depth in traditional and agile project management, formal mediation, and training. Her client list ranges from large (Intel, State of Oregon, City of Portland, Portland General Electric, and Cambia Health Systems) to small (Idealist and Thug Interactive) organizations.

Domain Swap!
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
Bring a list of old domains you hesitantly keep renewing, domains that no longer fit, domains you've outgrown, domains you've had parked for years and haven't used. Give them away to friends, trade for better domains, and pick up some hot, new URLs for 2017.
## How this Works
Come to Migration Brewing at 7pm with your laptop. We'll write all our domains on notecards. We'll all look at our collective compiled domain names on a projected spreedsheet, and pick out ones we want. Then we'll do ICANN transfers amongst ourselves. If multiple people want the same domain, you'll have to convince its registrant that you'll do something better with it. It's up to the registrant to decide. Domain trading is more than welcome.
This is also a LEAVE NO DOMAIN PARKED event. Let's get content on these URLs! |

<p>Acquiring customers for our SaaS companies is arguably one of the most difficult challenges we face. We need to figure it out what works and what doesn't work, and we need to do it before the money runs out.</p> <p><br>In this Meetup we'll discuss:</p> <p>• The marketing strategies that are working for us, and the ones that didn't.</p> <p><br>• Lessons we learned taking our products to market.</p> <p>• Paid vs organic marketing channels: which ones are best for every stage of growth.</p> <p>• How we've identified our most profitable market segments and how we're providing value to them.</p> <p><br>• Social media, search engine marketing, PR and advertising. Pros and cons of each channel, and which ones are right for us.</p> <p><br>Coffee, tea and draft beer will be provided. Come hang out with other SaaS founders and share your story!</p> |

PDX PHP - The Red Team is Coming!

<p>There will be <b>food</b>, give-a-ways (elephpants), and a great time to network with the fabulous PHP Community!</p> <p>This month we will have a special guest speaker from Las Vegas: </p> <p>Adam Englander is an Engineer, Speaker, and Author with 30 years of experience in building business applications. He has been an outspoken evangelist of PHP during what he calls “The PHP Renaissance”. Adam is a strong believer in the power of strong developer communities. He is a actively involved in the Las Vegas technical community and the Founder of PHP Vegas. Always looking to push the boundaries of what is possible with PHP, Adam has been working to expose the PHP community at large to IoT and asynchronous programming. He also advocates building better applications today by building well tested applications that are cryptography secure.</p> <p><b>The Red Team is Coming!</b></p> <p>The Red Team, hackers, criminal organizations, and nation states, are a constant threat. The systems we build are the targets. We need to understand the human collateral that hangs in the balance. We embrace methodologies to write better code and make our lives better. They do nothing for the rest of humanity that is directly affected by security vulnerabilities we introduce. In this presentation, I will put a human face on the users of our software. I will challenge you to think in terms of flesh and blood rather than ones and zeros. We are all the Blue Team. We protect the rest of humanity. Join me in the fight. The Red Team is coming!</p> |

<p><i>There will be food, give-a-ways (elephpants), and a great time to network with the fabulous PHP Community!</i></p> <p>Scope is a major factor in any application, from programing scope to project scope, and communication is key. We will discuss different application scopes including global, functional, class, and package scope. From there we will show how everything ties together with communication of the project itself. Why and how to stay on top of project scope and how that can make or break the final outcome.</p> <p>Join us to learn and share with others in the community as we all grow in understanding and skills</p> |

<p>Didn't travel to Austin to attend Dockercon 17? No worries, just stop by the April Docker Meetup and Mike Coleman from Docker will catch you up to the latest DockerCon news. Steve Lasker from Microsoft will present the lift and shift of .NET FX apps into Windows containers, and modernizing with .NET Core on nano server with Visual Studio.</p> <p><img src="https://www.docker.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/dc.png"></p> <p>Agenda:</p> <p>6:00 - Welcome, networking, and food</p> <p>6:30 - Mike Coleman - "DockerCon Recap"</p> <p>
<img src="https://blog.docker.com/media/2015/12/image00.jpg"></p> <p>Mike is responsible for creating technical content to help customers come up to speed on Docker and its related components. Prior to joining Docker this summer he spent about 15 months at Puppet Labs working in product management. And, before all that he spent time at VMware, Microsoft, Intel, and HP in both product management / marketing as well as IT engineering. Outside of work Mike enjoys riding his motorcycles around Oregon's backroads, spending time with his wife and kids, and supporting the Portland Timbers (that's a soccer team). You can find him on Twitter as @mikegcoleman.</p> <p>7:45 - Steve Lasker - "Lift & Shift .NET FX apps into Windows Containers, Modernize with .NET Core, all within Visual Studio"</p> <p>Abstract: Visual Studio 2017 supports migrating .NET FX apps into Windows Containers enabling developers, and ops, to migrate those existing and heritage apps into modern workflows and deployments. We’ll also demo the .NET Core with Windows Server Nano tooling that will be soon released. With Visual Studio 2017, developers can now use the tools their used to, while staying true to the docker experience. Come see how you can develop and debug your apps in Windows Containers and share your experience with the Azure Developer Experience team.</p> <p><br><img src="https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/shrinknp_200_200/p/2/000/00c/35a/30c9eaf.jpg"></p> <p>Presented by: Steve Lasker<br>Microsoft Program Manager<br>Azure Developer Experiences</p> <p>8:30 - Wrap up and networking</p> <p>Special thanks to New Relic for providing the space and food</p> |

Refresh Portland — Everything Is Negotiable: Your Power as a Change-Maker

<em>Doors open at 5:30, talk starts at 6pm.</em>
What if you could flow like water around and over obstacles, dramatically transforming the quality and effectiveness of your everyday experience … and even the environment around you? Like a GPS system, we can continuously determine the most advantageous pathways by considering the current conditions and desired destination.
But we are neither water reacting to gravity nor intelligent machines. How do we stay “agile” as human beings? In this talk, MJ will share experiential wisdom gained over two decades of designing WITH people and organizations, in service of the products and services they ultimately create. Prepare to be inspired!
“Agility is the ability to quickly sense one’s environment in line with one’s strategic purpose & identity, and easily execute synchronous (reactively) and asynchronous (proactively, in anticipation) changes in a VUCA world (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous)” — Vas & Carlier
<h3>Our Presenter, MJ Broadbent</h3>
As Senior UX Design Director at GE Digital, MJ leads a design team focused on cloud-based apps that connect streams of industrial machine data to powerful analytics and the people who use them, providing companies with valuable insights to manage their assets and operations more efficiently. Prior to switching coasts to join GE in the SF Bay Area, MJ enjoyed a portfolio career as an independent consultant in New York City. Her practical leadership and cross-disciplinary design expertise benefited organizations including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the College Board, Johnson & Johnson, The McGraw-Hill Companies (including Standard & Poor’s), Pfizer, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Sony Electronics, and the United Nations.
An evangelist for drawing, sketching, and the power of visual explanations, MJ coaches people in reclaiming their innate drawing skills through instructional workshops of her own design. She has been the official sketchnoter for conferences like EnterpriseUX and CanUX.
Active in numerous professional groups online and around the world, MJ is perhaps most well known for her volunteer leadership with IxDA (Interaction Design Association): she spearheaded NYC local event programming (2008-2009); co-chaired the Interaction11 conference (2010-2011); served on the Board of Directors as Treasurer (2011-2014); and co-chaired the Interaction Awards (2015-2016). |

| description |
Come join us for some “tech-talk” at the Gresham Library! It's been a little while since we last met, and EAST Knowledge is changing our overall format up a bit. We'd like to do more regular informal gatherings and have talks when the opportunities present themselves.
So with that in mind, we hope you join us in this informal gathering to talk shop, show what we're working on, help each other, and hear from others interested in technology. If you are not yet familiar with our group, this is a nice opportunity to drop by and introduce yourself. We’ll have light refreshments, and some of us may get together for lunch afterwards. We look forward to seeing you there! *All* are welcome!
* **What:** Coffee Break
* **Where:** Large meeting room at the Gresham Library
* **When:** 10:00am - Noon, Saturday, April 29th, 2017
* **Why:** Sharing what we know with other tech enthusiasts

Agile PDX Westside: Building & Maintaining Self-Organized & Self-Directed Teams
Roll back
| description |
nil |

A self-organized team is perhaps the holy grail of agile. Ideally, scrum masters work themselves out of a job as the team becomes less dependent on managers, scrum masters, and project managers. But how is this achieved; what does it take to get there? Can a scrum master simply step away from a self-directed team yet everything remains seamless? Or does a team still benefit from coaching and facilitation to improve sprint after sprint? Let’s share our successes and failures of teams past and present so as a community we can seek that holy grail!
Limited spots! Reserve your seat at https://www.meetup.com/AgilePDX-User-Group-Portland-Metro/events/239176786/ before the waitlist kicks in.
Doors open half hour before noon for those who wish to purchase a lunch and settle in before we begin.
