Come learn what HCD is all about and how it can make the HR practitioner's life (gasp) better! In this interactive workshop - complete with snacks, post-it notes galore, and plenty of time out of chairs - we'll discover the steps of the HCD process. We'll have ample time to work in small groups, where you can practice applying the framework to issues that group members bring forward - everything from team performance, productivity, retention, and more. Our goal is to help you gain a level of comfort and competency with HCD so that you can leverage it for small or big change in your organization, no matter where you are. You can expect to leave the workshop knowing: - What the HCD framework offers and how it works - How to apply HCD to your work in a lean, daily manner - How to use HCD to improve your workflow and solve specific workplace issues Once registered, you'll receive a pre-workshop packet. We invite you to review the material in preparation for the workshop (we promise it's worth it!). At the workshop, you'll receive a handful of useful, editable materials that you can use again and again. We look forward to meeting you and sharing the HCD framework with you - to revolutionize HR! This workshop is co-taught by Kristen Gallagher of Edify and Nitya Wahklu of Drawing Bridges: Nitya Wakhlu is the founder at Drawbridge Innovations LLC, where she specializes in using Visual Thinking and Experiential Learning to create whole-brained experiences that support learning and change.

create Calagator::Event 1250469129 Reactive-Interactive Approaches to Visualization of F# jobs Roll back

description nil → <p>Join <a href="https://twitter.com/lenadroid">Alena Dzenisenka</a> as she presents "<b>Reactive-Interactive Approaches to Visualization of F# jobs</b>"</p> <p>This talk will show lightweight approaches for web based visualization of server side computations for data science jobs written in F#. These jobs you'd often launch some analytic algorithms on input data and the algorithms may run either on a single local server or be distributed across the cloud, clusters or other locations. There can be different data sources, different places or locations where algorithms are being performed, and various kinds of jobs that produce the updated overall result each time when data changes, updates or new data comes. This talk will cover these concepts and ideas.</p> <p>An example we can use is with MBrace or other cloud computing framework for performing jobs. If updates are frequent and it's important to keep an eye on these metrics, having an interactive visualization for the results is important.</p> <p>During the talk we will take a number of jobs, go through the options we have and see the examples of how to use and combine F#, SignalR web sockets and JS together for visualization of various computing job results to display them in a beautiful web interactive and flexible way.</p>

description Join us for a spirited, knowledge-packed day scouting the frontiers of responsive web design and development in lovely Portland, Oregon. Responsive Field Day is a welcoming and affordable gathering for web designers and developers. Tickets are only $175! We are keeping ticket prices low so that more of you can join us. Any proceeds from the event will be donated to programs that support open web technologies, the tech community and education. ## Speakers * *Stephanie Rieger*, consummate researcher whose humanist talks explore anthropological and technical realms * *Ethan Marcotte*, who, you know, invented Responsive Web Design. And who also weaves a riveting presence in his talks. * *Jeremy Keith*, whose impact on web practices are legion, and who spices up the discourse on any panel. * *Yesenia Perez-Cruz*, who synthesizes her talents in writing, communication and graphic arts for a nuanced perspective on responsive challenges. * *Jen Simmons*, whose powerhouse weekly podcast _The Web Ahead_ is on the required listening list for those who build the web. * *Brad Frost*, whose bounding enthusiasm and thought leadership have helped to lead us toward a clearer responsive future. * *Marcy Sutton*, a superhero to us from her work on Angular’s accessibility and as co-leader of Girl Develop It Seattle. * *Sophie Shepherd*, who shares the lessons she’s learned designing Ushahidi’s open source pattern library. * *Tom Dale*, a driving force behind Ember FastBoot, which brings server-side rendering to client MVCs. To be honest, we’re still a bit stunned that we were able to get such an amazing group of speakers. And we still have three more speaker slots to announce! → Join us for a spirited, knowledge-packed day scouting the frontiers of responsive web design and development in lovely Portland, Oregon.

update Calagator::Event 1250469067 eBay Tech Tuesdays: "To Sell or Not to Sell? That is the Question." Roll back

description Happy September! This month's Tech Tuesday is just a few weeks away, and we're shifting gears a bit and bringing the focus back around to the entrepreneur. During the course of starting, running, and growing a business, almost every founder will ask themselves at least once, but more likely numerous times, “Should I sell?” And then they will go back and forth tossing around all the reasons why or why not, usually losing a lot of sleep and sanity in the process. For September's Tech Tuesday we've put together a panel of local founders who answered that hard question. You'll hear about why they chose to sell or not, if they’d make the same decision if given the opportunity again, if they'd do anything differently next time, and more. Panelists · James Keller, former co-founder of Small Society which was purchased by Walmart Labs in 2011 · Josh Reich, CEO & co-founder Simple, which was purchased by BBVA in 2014 · TBA pending confirmation Moderator: Sara Morrow, Talent Partner, ebay Marketplaces Not only do I expect this will be a very interesting – and entertaining - evening of insights, experiences, and shoulda/coulda/wouldas... but what you learn might help you stay a little more sane and rested when it comes time to ask yourself, "To sell or not sell?" RSVP here: http://bit.ly/1OboEbC See you on the 29th! -- Doors open at 5:45pm and we’ll have pizza & sodas for you. Presentation starts at 6:30pm. → Happy September!

create Calagator::Event 1250469103 PDXRust Monthly Meeting Roll back

description nil → 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! This meetup occurs on the first Wednesday of every month, from 6-8pm. October's meeting will be at Mozilla's Portland space. What will happen at the meetup? Good question! That's largely up to attendees! We start with 30-50 minutes of lightning talks from anyone who: • Has built something in Rust that they want to share, • Wants to build something in Rust and is seeking feedback and collaborators, or • Has learned something cool about Rust that they think would be useful to others. After the lightning talks, we have about an hour of hack time so you can sit down and work on your Rust project in a room full of others who enjoy the language. Join us in #pdxrust on irc.freenode.net (http://webchat.freenode.net/) with any feedback about what you'd like to see! Remember that Rust's Code of Conduct applies to this event. Logistics: 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. 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. Food is not yet planned for the event. If your company would like to sponsor food for the meeting, let edunham know ([email protected], or IRC).
