description nil BIG DATA IN THE REAL WORLD Big. Fast. Intelligent. Three words that define the future of data. Structure Data is bringing together the world’s top computer scientists, software executives and business users to discuss how advances in data technology are already reshaping our world—and why it’s only the beginning. This March, learn the real promise of big data. At Structure Data we’ll explore… How artificial intelligence and machine learning are already touching our lives, and where they’ll go next. Now that “big” isn’t enough, what is the future of data-management software? How the world’s most innovative companies are using data to keep users happy and revenue flowing. Why the Internet of Things is making us rethink how we build products and manage data. The state of cybersecurity and whether advanced data analysis can really help thwart attacks. The secrets to selling enterprise software in a world where open source and cloud computing are the new normal. How the biggest names in media are growing readership – and building brands – around data. The democratization of data analysis, from next-generation visualization machine learning APIs. Business use cases of data across multiple industries.

update Calagator::Event 1250469355 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 ### Sam Livingston-Gray: Cucumbers Have Layers: A Love Story Cucumber sucks. Features are hard to write and constantly break when the UI changes. Step definitions are annoying to create and a freaking nightmare to maintain. And Cucumber suites take for-EVER to run, because you have to wait for a web browser. Except... [almost] none of that is actually true. After years of making awful messes with Cucumber, I finally found a way to use it that worked well, and a project I couldn't have done without it. I'd like to show you one way to use Cucumber that can be elegant, powerful, expressive, and—believe it or not—fast. ### Nick Urban A talk about refactoring, and about how to write beautiful, readable Ruby in general. # 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.

create Calagator::Event 1250469462 Galois tech talk: Individual and Group Decision-making in Open Environments from an Ecological Point of View Roll back

description nil abstract: Animal movement is driven by responses to both social and non-social factors of the environment. Research across species shows that animals do not make decisions based solely on present information, e.g., at time t, but on an integrated assessment of information over recent time, e.g., t-1, t-2, etc. This raises the conundrum of how to relate distributions of animals (or humans) to conditions of the environment since prior individual experiences, possibly to unobserved conditions, contribute to the behaviors observed. I use a rich animal and environmental data set to harness and integrate the broad spectrum of behavioral research and construct a theoretical platform for describing the observed distributions of species populations. My work in the aquatic, terrestrial, and aerial environments falls into two categories, (i) better managing civil infrastructure that impacts animal movement and (ii) developing/evaluating computational abstractions of environmental sensing and individual decision-making to inform the engineering design of distributed systems in unbounded, open field environments. In the aquatic realm, I’ll share research suggesting that water acceleration “shapes” the individual movement trajectories of juvenile salmon near hydropower dams. Then, I’ll discuss how I am building off this research to understand Sonoran Pronghorn that can interfere with military training activities in the Arizona desert. Lastly, I’ll discuss bird flocking as a biological network that can inform the design of fast, light, mobile, compact, and collapsible systems (e.g., geospatial sensors) that are resilient to attack and can quickly hide. bio: R.

description nil <p>The December meeting will be a Discussion/Presentation combined meeting due to the holidays making it difficult to find the time for a meeting. I'd like to get as many people who want to give a short talk on something or give a demo of what they've been working on a chance to do so.</p> <p>Christopher Stott, a co-founder of <a href="http://buddybuild.com">buddybuild</a>, will be in town for this month's meetup to get us started with a quick demo buddybuild (spoiler warning: it's pretty cool).</p> <p>Here's a quick overview of what buddybuild is trying to do: </p> <p><i>Frustrations with Testflight? Tired of cobbling together disparate build, deployment, crash reporting, and feedback systems to meet your iOS and Android development needs?</i></p> <p>Buddybuild ties together continuous integration, continuous delivery, and an iterative feedback solution into a single, seamless platform for your mobile apps. Their mission is to eliminate the complexity of building, deploying and gathering feedback for developers. With buddybuild, you can focus on what matters most - creating awesome mobile apps.</p> <p>• Tyler Spaeth will be demoing some cool stuff he's put together with using multi-touch in 3D.</p> <p>• Marc Charbonneau will tell us what he's learned about Unwind Segues recently.</p> <p>So shoot me a message here or on Slack or on twitter (@aranasaurus) or an email if you have something you'd like to present on (any length between 5-20 minutes is great). It'd be the best Christmas present ever if I could get a bunch of you to present on something this month, so if you're thinking about it but not sure... please do! :)</p> <p> <b>NOTE: </b>I'll update this post as I get more speakers (if they want me to, anyway... I don't want to add any pressure, so if you don't want to be listed let me know!). I also haven't locked in the location yet. More on that next week when folks are back in the office and I can get that locked in.</p>

description nil <p>Are you a Rust expert? Have you played with Rust a bit and told yourself you really should write more code in it, but never made the time? Do you just like learning about cool new programming languages? If any of these apply to you, come to the PDXRust meetup to learn more and meet others with similar interests!</p> <p> We've tentatively scheduled the meetup for the first Wednesday of every month, from 6-7pm. September's meeting will be at Mozilla's Portland space. </p> <p> What will happen at the meetup? Good question! That's largely up to attendees: What do *you* think would help you level up your Rust skills most effectively? Current ideas include talks from crate and product authors explaining how and why they implemented their projects in Rust, lightning talks about whatever interesting Rust-related things you've learned since the last meeting, peer code review time, and of course plain old hacking sessions to sit down and work on your Rust project in a room full of people who can help you make sense of the compiler errors that it generates. </p> <p> Join us in #pdxrust on irc.freenode.net (<a href="http://webchat.freenode.net/" class="linkified">http://webchat.freenode.net/</a>) with any feedback about what you'd like to see!</p> <p> Remember that<a href="https://www.rust-lang.org/conduct.html"> Rust's Code of Conduct</a> applies to this event.</p> <p><br>Logistics:</p> <p><br>Parking near the building can be scarce. The Mozilla office is close to the 11th&Couch stop and 10th&Couch stop on the NS streetcar line, and within walking distance of several bus lines. Covered bike parking is available in the courtyard that you cross to get to Mozilla's building, across from the Peet's Coffee and Tea seating area.</p> <p><br>The building is mostly wheelchair-accessible, in that there are no unavoidable stairs and the outside door has an automatic opening switch. Restroom doors on the 3rd floor and Mozilla office door are not automatic.</p> <p><br>Food is not yet planned for the event. If your company would like to sponsor food for the meeting, let edunham know ([masked], or IRC).</p>

But our favorite language perches atop a world of native code. When that other world intrudes on your peaceful Ruby, GDB, the venerable GNU debugger, is the tool to turn to. We’ll examine setting up Ruby to work with GDB. We’ll learn the fundamental commands, and soon you’ll be debugging with ease. We’ll even peer deep into Ruby object internals and face down crashes, deadlocks, and bugs. Whether you’re writing a native gem, hacking the Ruby VM, or just want a glimpse of the layers below, this talk is for you! ### Lightning Talks ⚡️ There will be a whiteboard to sign up on arrival (first come first serve). # 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.

description Talk includes: Lightning talks and singalong.js #singalong.js The act of performing music can be transcendent. But for many, the dream of performance remains out of grasp. Wouldn't it be cool if we could endow the mobile browser that everyone carries in their pocket with the power to turn non-musicians into genuine performers capable of playing along with a band? Node, plus a host of new HTML5 browser APIs makes it possible. Singalong.js enables musical collaborations in limitless combinations, in real time, with no perceptible latency. It's licensed under the GPL and uses lots of open libraries to make it happen. Armed with an implementation of pseudo-NTP over socket.io and a database of smart phone sound card latencies, singalong.js seeks to achieve a seemingly unwise task: synchronizing audio events across dozens of unknown mobile browsers over a LAN or the web. In this talk, I'll chronicle my journey as a musician and amateur coder in stitching together multiple free Node and browser libraries to make a distributed, user-controlled virtual instrument and lyric display system. The talk will include a demonstration wherein the audience "becomes the band" using a combination of cell phones, tablets, and traditional musical instruments. We'll touch on each of the following technologies: - socket.io - socket-ntp-krcmod (my implementation of NTP over socket.io) - gyro.js - howler.js - teoria.js - hammer.js - the Fluid (R3) SoundFont ## Speaker Ross Brackett <img alt="Ross" src="http://i.imgur.com/pWoiTYJ.jpg" height="200> - [The project on github](http://karaokeresearch.github.io/) Ross lives in Portland. When he's not working on singalong.js, he's writing a sketch or inputting a song into singalong.js for his late night cable access TV show, Karaoke Research Council. During the daylight hours, he works a data processing job that involves a lot of Perl and Excel."> Talk includes: Lightning talks and singalong.js Room for more talks.
