create Calagator::Event 1250469899 Bug Bounty Programs (ISACA Monthly Luncheon) Roll back

description nil Bug Bounty Programs Bug bounties have become increasingly popular as a staple of strong security programs, so much so that even traditionally conservative companies are beginning to use them. However, they are very difficult to implement correctly. In this talk I will discuss a brief history of bug bounties, the current landscape of bug bounty efficiency (including statistics from the programs of small, medium and large companies) and how to optimize a program for success. Speaker: Dylan Saccomanni Dylan Saccomanni is a software security engineer with six years of experience in penetration testing and vulnerability research. He has found and disclosed security vulnerabilities in large companies like GoDaddy and Microsoft, and before working at Simple he ran a security consultancy catering to Series A tech startups. Cost: ISACA Members: $20.00 Guests and Non-Members: $25.00 We expect this event to sell out. Attendance will be limited to the first 60 registrations. Do not delay, and register today!

update Calagator::Event 1250469533 Portland Ruby Brigade monthly meeting Roll back

description We'll have pizza & beer starting at 6pm, so stop by early if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations. # PRESENTATIONS at 7pm ### # After presentations we'll have more socializing time. # Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month! # ARRIVING BY BIKE? Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 29th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 29th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking. <em>ABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade, also known as pdxruby and pdx.rb, is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland, Oregon area. The group welcomes all programmers interested in the language and its implementations, tools, libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails. The group has been meeting since August 2002 for presentations, demos and discussions. Every month 35-75 people come together to share their knowledge, projects and enthusiasm for Ruby. If you'd like to present or have a topic you'd like discussed, please post to the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/pdxruby">mailing list</a>. The group usually meets on the first Tuesday of the month, "Ruby Tuesday" -- see you there! </em> We'll have pizza & beer starting at 6pm, so stop by early if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations. # PRESENTATIONS at 7pm ### ## Automation for Mobile Devices with Calabash by Shannon Atkinson Using Calabash for automation for both iOS and Android applications can be frustrating and difficult. This talk will focus around using a Cucumber/Ruby/Calabash to formulate a single GIT repo for testing both iOS and Android apps with the same test cases. ## Embracing --api by Mitch Lloyd It's hard to beat the productivity of Rails in the hands of an experienced developer. But what happens when user expectations drag your server-rendered application into the tortured hellscape of client-side JavaScript? JavaScript creeps into your once beautiful code base: a typeahead search field, a client-side validation, an AJAX-powered star rating widget. This pathogen has no unit tests and causes the number of bugs and Selenium tests to grow. In this talk I'll explore why companies that resist client-side rendering still ship 350KB of gzipped JavaScript to their users. With examples I'll argue that there is a better way: separating your API from your client code. This approach that I once reserved for "highly interactive" applications, I now consider "a matter of course". For the majority of applications it leads to faster development, simpler architecture, and more flexible approaches for building and deploying UI. After presentations we'll have more socializing time. # Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month! # ARRIVING BY BIKE?

create Calagator::Event 1250469886 AgilePDX Dntn Pub Lunch: Agile Compatible Metrics Roll back

description nil It can be a struggle to find useful metrics for evaluating the efficiency of agile teams. Traditional metrics can give an incomplete or misleading view of how well a team is actually delivering. Story points can also be misleading, as it's easy to inflate story sizes to game the metric. So what's a worthwhile metric to use for judging how well a team is doing, and most importantly, how well the team is improving? What have you found that works well? Come join us discuss what's valuable and what to avoid. Usual time, usual place. We'll be in the back at Ringlers from 12p to 1p. We start on time and end on time. RSVP's to [email protected] are welcome but not required.

update Calagator::Event 1250469885 Learn about Advanced Data Visualization - Data Management PDX March Chapter Meeting Roll back

description After a review of our previous meeting about the basics of Data Visualization (Dec. 2012) we will explore some of the more complex issues of expressing complex business behavior in graphic form. You do not need to have attended the basics presentation to get value from this advanced presentation. Included in this session are the five basic chart types, along with topics of normalization and the importance of context. We will then look at more advanced concepts for the expression of metrics (such as cartograms, step functions, metrics which go negative, non-linear scales, and lineage charts). We will discuss the importance of understanding volatility in a metric, and the expression of uncertainty and ambiguity. Rankings can be misleading; we will show how. Tree maps are useful, but heat maps can be dangerous. We may look at using scatter diagrams to evaluate the correlation of market indexes. If we have time, we will look at the expression of non-metric ideas, including VENN diagrams. <h3>About the Speaker</h3> Michael Scofield, M.B.A. is an Asst. Professor of Health Informatics at Loma Linda University. His experience includes banking, manufacturing, higher education, and software development.

description nil We often fail to get along because we don’t understand each other. Especially when we assume our worldviews are the same. That we differ is obvious. But the more interesting question is how—and why?

It’s an essential leadership competency in today’s diverse and interconnected world. When facing complex challenges like cultural differences and leadership struggles, understanding world views can be the key that brings people together. In this 1-day live training, you will learn: - How people and groups develop over time, and why this impacts worldviews. - The major characteristics of each of the four primary worldviews. - Which liabilities and strengths typify each stage. - How to work with different stages in other people. - How your own worldview shapes your thinking and actions.

description nil New Ventures West is a San Francisco based coach training school that has been developing the methodology of Integral Coaching for 30 years. Our clients include Google, Facebook, Intel, Genentech, Apple, and Cisco. Coaching to Excellence is a two day workshop for people who are interested in exploring coaching as a career, and for those who are simply interested in being more skillful in relationships at work and in the rest of life. Whether or not your end goal is to be a coach, the competencies of coaching - which include active listening, asking powerful questions, and cultivating an aware presence - can be applied to whatever your work is in the world, whether that is being a parent, a leader, a teammate, a spouse, a citizen, a manager, etc. Integral Coaching is a developmental methodology that invites clients to orient to their situation in a new way, so that new opportunities and possibilities are seen, and more powerful interpretations can be made. Integral Coaching teaches us how to hold space that is more powerful, for ourselves and others, so that we can ask the following questions: -How can I help build resilience in myself, my staff, and the people we serve? -How can I help people face tough questions about the future with curiosity and courage? -What are the talents and qualities that are uniquely mine in responding to global challenges? -What can I do to have more powerful conversations with people to open possibility? -How am I to respond when I feel uncertain, unsure, and full of grief, and yet people are relying on me? -Is it possible to live in a way that generates aliveness when the obstacles facing me seem insurmountable? During these two days you will both coach and be coached, and learn exciting techniques and tools that you can immediately apply to your work in the world. This class also functions as the prerequisite to our year-long Professional Coaching Course. Please be in touch with your questions and reflections.

Code in R, demonstrating [queen] + [man] - [woman] ~ [King] to about 90% accuracy will be reviewed. Building first on exploratory "bag of words" analysis of Presidential debate texts, we'll explore, using pre-computed GloVe vectors (Pennington et al http://nlp.stanford.edu/projects/glove/), relationships like [sanders] + [trump] - [clinton] ~ [cruz] and how candidate positions align to rhetorical sentiment like [government] + [people] - [tax]. This analysis is work in progress. We'll also test empirical limits (aka failed experiments). Active feedback is both sought and welcome.

description nil At this West Side PubTalk(TM) we’ll discuss how do you fund a startup when the resources of the founders and friends and family run out? There are angel investors and venture capital firms, but they aren’t the only sources of funding for startups, and they are often not the right fit. Fortunately, there are other options. Some of those options are: Seed funds in Oregon invest anywhere from $10,000 to $250,000 in startups. Banks will make loans to small businesses – but the business does have to meet some key requirements. The federal SBIR program can provide $1 million in grant funding or more At this West Side PubTalk, you’ll learn more about all three of these sources from a panel that has experience in each of these three types of funding.
