Come see what all the fuss is about. These former students of Portland Code School (http://bit.ly/1MIKSSQl) have battled the odds and built some stunning working apps. See their projects, hear about their work, and talk to the students themselves. Doors open 6:00pm.
Fellow coders, recruiters, business, and any supporters are welcome. Please RSVP (http://bit.ly/1SptSQq) for anyone you are bringing so we have an accurate count. Light appetizers to be provided. |

We will be working again to improve the software behind the Shift Calendar (http://shift2bikes.org/cal/). We are almost finished with making a mobile-friendly version (http://www.shift2bikes.org/testcal/view2week-bs.php ). Our code repo is here: https://github.com/ShiftGithub/shiftcal
Agenda:
- Final touches before deploying mobile site to beta
- Setting up the beta in a more publicly accessible, removed-from-the-live-site manner.
- Posting a link to the live site that encourages people to "try the beta version" of the calendar
- Adding Facebook functionality
If you plan to come later than the start time of 11AM, please bring a cellphone. There will be a phone number posted on the door that you'd call to be let in. |

"The Road to 100 Million Downloads"
Please join us to learn a bit more about Android development on a massive scale. We'll be reviewing the formation of the eBay Portland office as well as lessons learned over the past five years on the way to 100 million downloads.
Doors will open at 6:00pm and eBay will be providing food and drink (including beer for attendees who can prove they're over 21).
After folks have eaten and networked to their heart's content, the presentation will start at 7:00pm, followed by a Q&A session and more networking until 8:00pm.
Please be thinking of interesting topics and/or speakers you'd like to see at future Meetups. We'd like to keep momentum up and try to have Meetups once a month, if possible.

<p><span><em><span><a href="http://builtoregon.com/"><span><strong>Built Oregon</strong></span></a>, the digital magazine that brings awareness to entrepreneurs & companies throughout the diverse regions of our state through inspirational storytelling, events, and podcasts, and our Presenting Sponsor <strong>Union Bank</strong>, hosts <strong>"Cyber Security For Entrepreneurs: What You Need To Know"</strong></span></em></span></p>
<p><span><span><strong><span>Overview</span></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span>Over the last few years we have seen cybersecurity move from the realm of IT to the center stage. With mega breaches impacting every industry from retail, healthcare and government, institutions and businesses of all stripes and sizes are continuously under attack by increasingly sophisticated and well funded adversaries from around the world. </span></p><p><span>In this panel we will discuss what businesses should be aware of when it comes to cybersecurity, and </span><span>what they can do to mitigate risk associated with cybercrime. We will highlight issues around:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong><span>Data collection as a resource and liability </span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span>Challenges securing remote workers, and IT systems built and used without company approval or knowledge (known as "shadow IT")</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span>Understanding your attack surface (the aggregate of all known, unknown and potential vulnerabilities and controls) both in the office and in the cloud</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span><span>Securing payments and preventing fraud</span></span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span><span>You’ve been breached…what happens now?</span></span></strong></li>

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
### Brent Miller
A talk about how New Relic does architecture. Not about our architecture itself, but about our process.
### Jason Clark - Peeking into Ruby: Tracing Running Code
Your Ruby app is in production, but something isn’t quite right. It worked locally, it passed CI… why’s the running app acting weird?
If this sounds familiar, you’re in luck. Multiple tools exist for grappling with a running Ruby app. This talk will introduce a variety of tools and techniques for peeking into what your Ruby app is doing. From Ruby-level method tracing using rbtrace, all the way down to watching kernel syscalls with strace, you can see what your app is doing, and I’ll show you how.
Don’t let your production system go unwatched!
#
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>.

### Brent Miller - How does New Relic build software? A biological approach to architecture
When building resilient, fault-tolerant, scalable systems, we focus quite a bit on the particular technologies involved. Can it scale horizontally? Is Samza better than Storm? Is this library thread-safe? It turns out that, even though those questions matter to the stability of the system, they don’t matter as much as the people building the system. Humans choose the stack, write the code, and write the bugs, too. They create the weird edge cases that cause the system to fall over at the worst time.
At New Relic we’ve taken an unusual approach to building software: we draw heavily from biological metaphors like mutation and natural selection, and focus on a human-centric approach to define our architecture. Rather than trust a few armchair architects to make the decisions, we put the power in the hands of the teams wrestling with the code. We have many strategies to ensure cohesiveness across the architecture and scalability for the business, the engineering organization, and the software, but it takes a little leap of faith and a lot of trust to move to a process like ours.
I’ll share how our process works, and how we manage the growth without going off the rails, while increasing system stability

You can talk about your challenges, work through problems, and discuss your code an mob program together.</i> </p> <p>Led by Kang-Kyu and/or Jen Diamond. <br>____________________________________________________</p> <p><i>The Parallel Project will be continuing on another night to be determined soon.</i></p> <p><i>***The Parallel Project*** Currently we are building an ecommerce WebApp from scratch, step-by-step. We are not using a tutorial. We are diving into each piece as we need it in an Agile fashion. We are building our first WebApp as a team -- working individually, all in parallel. </i></p> <p><i>Each week we discuss the step we have just taken and decide what to do next. This way we can be sure that everyone is on the same page, that we are really learning what we have set out to learn and that newcomers can catch up with us.</i></p> <p><i>As a group, we are designing a WebApp which we each individually build on our local machines. Each week we will decide on an incremental step, have the week to build it on our own, share our progress, and then we come together to discuss how we accomplished our task. This way, we each have the hands-on experience of building each piece of a WebApp. We ask questions of others who are building the same thing, learn from each others' methods, and discuss how we accomplished our goals.</i></p> <p><i>=======================================</i></p> <p><i>This is the **SAME Meetup**</i> as: <br> • Los Angeles Women's Ruby on Rails Group:<a href="http://www.meetup.com/Los-Angeles-Womens-Ruby-on-Rails-Group/"> <br>www.meetup.com/Los-Angeles-Womens-Ruby-on-Rails-Group/</a>*<i>Women and men*</i> please all attend! <br> • The LA Ruby, East-Side Study Group: <br> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/laruby/events/221924014/">www.meetup.com/laruby/events/[masked]/</a></p> <p><i>Please be kind, considerate and respectful. We are here to study together, and encourage a learning environment conducive to all learning types, experience levels, and ages.</i></p> <p><i>If you are brand new to Ruby on Rails, don't feel intimidated, everyone has to start somewhere. We will help you get up to speed if you are willing to put in the time. There are a lot of great tutorials to get you up and rolling even if you've never programmed before. Our current project assumes some MVC / Rails background, but we have successfully brought people up to speed to join the group. </i></p> <p><i>For Beginners:</i> We love having beginners join us! Please attend to get a sense of our group, and we will have a set of tutorial waiting for you, to bring you up to speed to join our project. MANY of our group-members started with RailsLearners knowing nothing, and are now developing along with the team.</p> <p><i>=======================================</i></p> <p><i>Our Meetup consists of 3 associated Meetup Groups:</i></p> <p><i>Rails Learners (our primary group): Working on The Parallel Project, meets weekly.</i></p> <p><i>Rails Learners Lab: A bi-weekly “lab” to complement Rails Learner. <br> • Come when you are stuck on your weekly assignment</i></p> <p><i>WebApp-Builders: A full-stack focused Meetup group, designed for more advanced WebApp developers.<a href="http://www.meetup.com/WebApp-Builders"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/WebApp-Builders" class="linkified">http://www.meetup.com/WebApp-Builders</a></i></p> <p><i>=======================================</i></p> <p><i>Organizers:</i></p> <p><i>Jen Diamond thejendiamond @ gmail[masked]</i></p> <p><i>Kobi Levy [masked][masked]</i></p> <p><i>KangKyu Lee [masked]</i></p> <p><i>Kalisa Falzone</i></p> <p><i>=======================================</i></p> <p><i>* Please come to learn.

You can learn to solder! Anyone can. Soldering is a basic skill for just about all electronics projects. If you've never soldered before, this workshop will give you the confidence to solder in less than two hours. If you want to learn how to solder better, this workshop will show you how. If you have soldered before, this workshop will teach you to solder surface mount parts with confidence.
Mitch Altman, from Noisebridge, will be giving one of his famous workshops at PDX Hackerspace. Mitch has taught thousands of people to solder and make cool things with microcontrollers at his workshops at hackerspaces, conferences and schools almost everywhere. He can teach you, too, if you like.
If you have ever had any curiosity about making something with electronics, then please join us. Anyone and everyone can learn to make cool things. And it’s fun. And easy! You can learn to make something cool with electronics in one workshop, and take your cool project home with you!

#How MarketingOps Is Like DevOps
**› Please RSVP via Eventbrite [HERE](http://bit.ly/1PZfkIR)**
Software is consuming the world! Today, Modern Marketers rely on an 'Engineering' mindset to work creatively, and treat Marketing Operations like DevOps. This presentation will discuss how MarkOps and DevOps are charged to solve similar problems, along with the shared guiding principles that currently exist to help solve them.
*Isaac is a tech-nerd who loves to makes people's jobs easier using tech and automation. As Director of Marketing Ops at New Relic, I optimize the entire value-chain by aligning people, their activities, the technologies and processes they use to achieve goals, in an efficient and scalable way. Automating where possible, enable where necessary. Previous to New Relic, Isaac was a part of other high growth companies like Blue Jeans Network and Citrix.*
**› Doors will open at 5:30 for a 30-minute networking happy half-hour! The food, beer and drinks are provided by Bellagios and New Relic. The presentation will begin right at 6p.**
› Stay tuned for the latest developments and updates on this and upcoming events by joining our Meetup group, [New Relic FutureTalks PDX](http://www.meetup.com/New-Relic-FutureTalks-PDX/), and following us on Twitter @newrelic.
› FutureTalk is brought to you by **New Relic** in collaboration with **[TAO](http://www.techoregon.org)** |
