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

Be inspired!

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 |

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.

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

Be inspired!

Portland Accessibility and User Experience Meetup (PDX A11Y UX) - Accessibility testing with Natalia Voegele
Roll back
| description |
Ever wonder about how to use and test all of the different accessibility tools and devices? Natalia Voegele will tell us all about her personal story, and how & why she got started with accessibility testing. She’ll give us a sample of different tools, from Android and iOS devices to Braille displays and Chromebooks. Learn about some of the common problems encountered while testing and what to do about them. We’ll also have some time for questions and hands-on work.
About the speaker, in her own words:
I am Natalia Voegele. An ambitious, strong, 36-year-old woman who happens to be blind. I have always loved technology. In addition to working, passions of mine include mental health, the environment, reading, traveling, singing, cooking, baking and spending time with those I love. I am in the process of writing a book about my life and creating an album.

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! |

Announcing the new MIT Enterprise Forum, Portland, Oregon Chapter!
Topic: Digital Transformation and the Future of Business
Did you know that:
97% of consumers search online to find a local business?
46% of Google searches are seeking local information?
88% of consumer local business searches on a mobile device result in a call or visit to the business within 24 hours?
The digital age rewards change and punishes doing nothing. It is no longer, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” How are companies adapting to the changed (and changing) world, being the disrupters rather than the disrupted?
Join us to hear four dynamo panelists how their companies drive digital transformations and how they successfully digitally transformed their businesses. From SEO/SEM to mobile native and electronic transactions we will discuss the trends and findings that shape the future of business.
Schedule: Tuesday, September 17, 2019
5:30 PM Doors open / Enjoy a hosted bar with beer and wine (21+ must show ID)
6:30 PM Program begins
8:00 PM Program concludes
Panelists include:
John Jerome, Founder, and CEO, Jerome, Bruhn & Associates
Mike Barrett, Co-founder, and CRO, Unosquare
Jason Thane, Co-founder, GenUI
Tracy Petrie, Researcher, OHSU
Mark Neuhausen, Technologist, and Angel Investor (moderator)
We look forward to seeing there!
Cheers,
MIT Enterprise Forum NW |

When Workplace Stress Becomes a Mental Health Struggle
Many of us live and/or work on the west side of the Portland metro area and may not have a convenient professional community nearby. Thanks to support from PDXWIT and Salesforce, on October 16 we will get together in Hillsboro to talk about mental health.
In addition to our usual networking format, a representative from Salesforce will tell us about the company and share available opportunities. Kirsten Anderson, Channel Marketing Manager at Bigleaf Networks, will talk about normalizing mental health conversations in the workplace, preventing burnout, and warning signs that you could be on a slippery slope.
Agenda:
5:00 p.m. - Doors open/networking
5:45 p.m. - Introduction
6:00 p.m. - Speaking segments begin
6:30 p.m. - Networking
7:00 p.m. - Event ends
Event FAQ
Q: Will there be gender neutral restrooms?
A: We do not have gender neutral specific restrooms, however, we have modified the restrooms in our main floor for that.
Q: Is the space ADA accessible?
A: Yes.
Q: Will there be food and drink at this event?
A: Yes.
Q: What is the parking situation?
A: We have ample onsite parking and it is free. If you come in off Cornelius Pass Road, upon entering the parking lot continue straight for the closest parking to our building, which is clearly marked.
Q: Is there any special information that might help me find the entrance?
A: There are three entrances downstairs, however, only one will be used for entry to the site, which is our main entrance facing the parking lot directly across from the building. All guests will be required to sign a NDS and take a visitors badge while on site.
Q: Is there secured bike parking?
A: We have some space for bikes inside the building, and racks outside, but riders will need to bring locks for those racks.
Q: Should I consider using public transportation?
A: Either works. Driving is pretty common for the office, however, the Orenco Max Station walk is about a 12 minute (leisurely) walk to our office.
Q: Can I bring my dog?
A: No, we ask that you leave your furry friend home. Please note there may be office pets present at this event.

Best Smart Home Tech 2019! What You NEED and Why!
Roll back
| description |
Are you interested in the best Smart Home Tech and how you can use it?
In this Meetup, I'll bring and share my favorite items in each category.
1. Nest Cameras - Indoor and Outdoor 4K cameras with IQ face detection and following. Nest has built-in Google assistant with two-way audio and location detection to turn on/off while you are home or away.
2. Nest Hello - Nest doorbell allows you to see who is at your door record and save footage 24x7.
3. Nest Hub - The nest hub is a Google Assistant display. You can use it to control smart devices, see who is at the door, and display Google photos.
4. Google Home and Chromecast - With the Google Home you can ask questions and have it control your TV with Netflix and YouTube.
5. Alexa - Alexa is the most widely used for controlling smart home devices.
6. August Automatic Door lock - August runs on location services that allow it to auto-locked unlock based on your location. You can even control it with an Apple Watch.
7. myQ Garage Door - This hub will allow you to see if your garage is left open and close it from anywhere. It also sends you notifications if you’ve left it open for a custom set period of time. Apple watch is also supported.
8. Ecobee Smart Thermostat - This thermostat comes with Alexa assistant built-in and a smart sensor to auto-adjustor cold and hot spots in your home. It will learn the occupancy based on motion and habits and adjust over time. It’s evaluated to save 23% percent on cooling and heating costs per annum.
Honorable Mentions
Additional devices you may consider include smart lights, outlets, and Mesh Wifi to support forced roaming, dead zones, and parental controls.
We would love to hear how you have configured your home or plan to build the best Smart Home.

Security Cameras and Locks
1. Nest Cameras - Indoor and Outdoor 4K cameras with IQ face detection and following. Nest has built-in Google assistant with two-way audio and location detection to turn on/off while you are home or away. Free Recording (Live and past 3 hours of snapshots) vs Nest Aware ($10-30 per month for 30 days recording). I chose the Nest camera system for integration with my Google smart displays.
2. Nest Hello - Nest doorbell allows you to see who is at your door and works with the Nest ecosystem. Allows auto-replies or two audio.

3. August Automatic Door lock - August runs on location services that allow it to auto-lock and unlock based on your location. You can even control it with an Apple Watch.
4. myQ Garage Door - This hub will allow you to see if your garage is left open and close it from anywhere. It also sends you notifications if you’ve left it open for a custom set period of time. Voice assistant service $10 yr. Apple watch is also supported.
Smart Displays and Speakers
1. Nest Hub - The nest hub is a Google Assistant display. You can use it to control smart devices, get step by step receipt instructions, view your nest cameras, personalized routines, and display Google photos.
2. Google Home - Works similar to the Nest hub without display.
3. Chromecast - Google Assistant can play Youtube and Netflix on your TV
4. Echo Show/Dot - Alexa is the most widely used for controlling smart home devices.
Switches, Outlets, Lights
1. Switches - I prefer to use smart switches over smart bulbs unless you’re going for a custom scene. Switches only require one device rather than up to four bulbs per fixture. They don’t require a hub and do not need to be replaced. This smart switch has Alexa built-in, a smart thermostat sensor, and night light.
2. Outlets or Powerstrips - These allow you to use Voice assistant to turn on/off or set a schedule.
3. Smart Lights - You may want to consider a nice holiday ambiance or gaming/studio with the Nanoleaf panels or LifX Beams and LEDs.
Thermostat and Appliances
1. Ecobee Smart Thermostat - This thermostat comes with Alexa assistant built-in and a smart sensor to auto-adjust to cold and hot spots in your home. It will learn the occupancy based on motion and habits and adjust over time. It’s evaluated to save 23% percent on cooling and heating costs per annum. It has an Alexa speaker built-in.
2. Appliances - When it’s time to replace your home appliance you may want to consider wifi capabilities in your refrigerator, washer/dryer, etc.
Upgrade Wifi
1. Mesh Wifi or Extenders - Most homes require more than one router for coverage. Mesh Wifi force wifi clients to switch access points for better signal, cover dead spots, and offer better consistency and control.
We would love to hear how you have configured your home or plan to build the best Smart Home.

@DAMAPDX Sept. Chapter Meeting, Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing – (Some) Theory & Applications
Roll back
| description |
nil |

Presented by Joachim Rahmfeld, Ph.D
Lecturer at UC Berkeley
Today’s vast volumes of language-based, unstructured, electronic data found in various form factors such as blogs, email, social media, or web sites, promises competitive advantages for those who can extract business-relevant information most effectively and efficiently. Natural Language Processing (NLP) holds the key in leveraging this type of data in order to answer and respond to important questions such as, “What is the perception of my company in the Twittersphere?”, “Are these reviews largely positive or negative?”, “What is the translation of this in Spanish?”, “This document has the answer to my question somewhere… but where?”, “Are these products similar?”
Particularly over the last five years, revolutionary advances in NLP-related Deep Learning algorithms combined with dramatically increased compute resources have created unprecedented opportunities to not only answer natural language questions with greater accuracy and speed, but often also while requiring significantly less training data.
In this session, we will provide an overview of these advances and how you can make use of them. A particular focus will be transfer learning where large, pretrained models, such as Google’s BERT model, can be leveraged for a broad set of NLP use cases delivering excellent results, and enabling you to answer questions that were not possible to answer just a few years ago.
So this is a great time to learn about recent NLP developments and go through explicit examples.
About the Speaker
Joachim started his career in theoretical physics before leaving academia and joining the IT industry. For over a decade, he held various leadership positions in professional services, business development and sales at Sun Microsystems, VMware, and Hitachi Data Systems. In 2015, Joachim returned to his quantitative roots and obtained a Master of Information and Data Science from UC Berkeley. Most recently, Joachim managed a Data Science research team at Edison Software. He currently lectures at UC Berkeley on Natural Language Processing with Deep learning and is working on various NLP projects.
