Welcome to the Women Founders Forum! We think Portland needs a power networking group for women startup founders and female entrepreneurs. You all came to mind as key participants and awesome contributors to this new forum.
At our first meeting, we're looking for your inputs on how we might structure our gathering — and most importantly, what kind of activities & events would most benefit you professionally. Let's put our heads together and leverage this powerful network to grow our respective businesses and capabilities.
Our first meeting is a no-host happy hour event, with an open discussion on what to do next plus lots of opportunities to connect.
PLEASE INVITE OTHERS: this event is open to PDX-based women founders as well as aspiring entrepreneurs, so do spread the word & bring friends. Looking forward to seeing you all at our first event! |

A note about our audience:
These workshops will be a series of events meant to increase gender diversity across the spectrum of the Portland software development community. Each workshop will familiarize participants with a programming language and its ecosystem through tutorials, practice exercises, and one-on-one help from volunteer guides. Attendees will learn the basic skills and vocabulary needed to start participating in the relevant user groups and open source projects.
In keeping with our goal of increasing gender diversity, we open these workshops to all self-identified women and genderqueer persons. Men are welcome to attend when invited by an attending member of these qualifying groups. |

Portland Professional Women: “Speed” Networking Event –Tuesday, July 20!

What’s better than a summer networking event with excellent cocktails and fabulous company?
A summer networking event with excellent cocktails, fabulous company and beautiful JEWELRY of course!
What’s even better?
A networking event that allows you to connect with all of the professional women in the room!
On Tuesday, July 20, Portland Female Executives (PDXfX) joins Avenue Five jewelers to host its annual summer “speed” networking event. This event provides Portland Female Executive members and attendees (you don’t have to be a member to register!) with an opportunity to present themselves or their products and services in a 3-minute “speed networking” format. You won’t have to worry about trying to track down the attendees who are most relevant to your business interests. They’ll come to you!
Need a break from talking business? No problem! Whether you prefer fun and funky or refined and understated (it really depends on the mood, doesn’t it?), Avenue Five’s original designs from local and national jewelry designers are sure to provide a diversion.
Bring your business cards and your notebooks, but don’t expect your “typical” networking event. Join us for a relaxed, social evening, with casual, rotating facilitated groups and an engaging question-based format specifically designed to elicit meaningful connections with your Portland-area businesswomen peers.
Tasty nibbles and delicious drinks provided.
Register at http://portlandfemaleexecutives.com today!
Early Bird Registration Discounts (before July 15)
5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. –Avenue Five (1211 Southwest 5th Avenue).
Parking available off Jefferson street between 5th and 6th avenues.

abstract:
Jesse has been using Rust to write a PAM module. He will tell us about what he has learned about working with Rust, and about getting Rust’s lifetime-checking to mesh with external C functions.
bio:
Jesse Hallett is a research engineer at Galois. He has extensive experience in web and high-level programming; but has only recently ventured into system programming. It has been said that Rust makes system programming accessible to people who wouldn’t touch C++ with a 12-foot pole. Jesse is one of those people. And he is interested in talking about how Rust helps him to access a wider world of programming. |

Clojure PDX: How to Host a Mini Workshop, Yesql and More
Roll back
| description |
This month we have a very meta topic. First we'll have a short talk on "How to Host a Mini Workshop" by Howard Abrams followed by a mini workshop on Yesql. How awesome is that?!?
We may also have time for another talk which I'm trying to confirm and/or we'll have open Q&A. |

This month we have duelling Howards! Two Howards enter, one Howard leaves.
First Howard Abrams will give us a short talk on
1) How to Host a Mini Workshop
and then
2) A Mini workshop on Yesql
Then Howard M. Lewis Ship will present
3) Exceptional Feedback in Clojure
You're in the flow: writing code, experimenting in the REPL, running tests ... and then it happens: an exception. Clojure approaches a kind of ideal coding environment, right up until something goes wrong. Clojure stack traces are notoriously challenging: hard to read, lots of noise, and limited in context. Fortunately, we have the tools to fix this! We'll describe Pretty: a library that presents exceptions ordered and formatted for readability, and Tracker: a library to provide context to exceptions that goes beyond the stack trace.
4) Sane, smart, fast, Clojure web services with Rook
Rook (the name is a play on Bishop) is a library that fits into Ring as a straight-forward, easy way to build web services. In essence, Rook is a mapping between web resources and specific Clojure namespaces.Rook leverages conventions, metadata, and a few strong opinions to make it fast and easy to build well structured web services, following the REST pattern ... and goes beyond just request dispatching, providing some much needed infrastructure that helps you build code that is concise, efficient, testable, and maintainable.. |

**Tickets are free, but you have to get one at the event website.**
Rilla Alexander is an Australian illustrator and graphic designer whose work has appeared on everything from toys and tea cups to busses and buildings. Her cast of characters dance across Museo del Prado’s ceramics and stationery, populate Swiss Credit Cards and sleep on the walls of a Copenhagen hotel (where she replaced the bed with a tent).
Rilla’s work has been showcased at Paris’ cultural mecca Colette and at the Museé de la Publicité/Louvre. She leads a masterclass in character design at the Pictoplasma Academy in Berlin and is currently teaching illustration at the PNCA. Rilla has published several books celebrating creativity – including the collaborative toy project “Neighbourhood” and her picture books “The Best Book in the World” and “Her Idea”.
Rilla will speak about committing to an idea – and that fateful moment play and potential are stopped in their tracks by procrastination and preciousness. She is interested in where ideas come from and how to take them all the way to THE END.

Reading through technical books in a group is a great way to learn. You can stay motivated by reading together; better apply what you are reading by actively communicating it, as well as hearing others perspectives that will help you better understand the book. Even if you're a more experienced developer it's a great way to keep your skill sharp and share your wisdom and experience. If none of that is convincing just come and have fun with fellow ruby developers!
We are reading [Practical Object-Oriented Design in Ruby](http://www.poodr.com) by Sandi Metz. This week we will discuss chapters 5-6. Please come having read the chapters and ready to discuss it.
Make sure to grab food before. |

EAST Knowledge - Locating Intrusions Using Fiber Optics

EAST Knowledge invites you to attend our fifth meeting!
* **What:** Locating Intrusions Using Fiber Optics
* **Who:** Jim Rulla
* **Where:** The Story Room at the Gresham Library
* **When:** 10:30am-Noon, Saturday, April 18, 2015
* **Why:** Sharing what we know
Interferometers measure distances to within fractions of the wavelength of light. Put a couple of these incredibly sensitive devices on the fence around an airport, and you can not merely detect a would-be intruder — you can locate him. Put a pair on a pipeline, and you can not merely detect nearby digging that could damage the pipe — you can locate its source. You might even be able to detect — and perhaps even locate — leaks in the pipe.
The detection and location mechanisms are fascinating examples of clever engineering. I'll explain how these patented systems work and illustrate new algorithms that improve performance. |

Launch Event: City of Portland Early Adopter Program
Roll back
| description |
Please join us for the public launch of the City of Portland Early Adopter Program. This initiative seeks to better connect local Portland companies that can provide smart tech solutions with city bureaus needing improvements in operations, maintenance and capital projects. The public sector is a viable testing ground for innovations developed by the private sector, in particular those produced by early stage entrepreneurs. As the go-to resource for public and private interaction on cooperative projects, the Early Adopter Program will foster better information exchange and more efficient decision making between city departments and local industry.
At this event, you will:
Learn about City Bureaus and the innovation challenges that your company may help solve
Meet with city staff and discuss specific problem statements in a roundtable format
Introduce and promote your company
Discover how the Early Adopter program can be a resource for your company
We will be sending more information before the event on specific problem statements that bureaus will present for the roundtable sessions. |

We have a speaker and a half for this meeting with a focus on windows.
Aaron Jensen: Aaron discovered programming over 14 years ago, and has never looked back. He specializes in making developer-focused tools and automating everything he can. He's spent most of his career working with Microsoft technologies, but did run his own OS X server for several years, so knows Perl, PHP, and Ruby on Rails exist. For almost 7 years he has worked for WebMD Health Services. He is currently obsessed with PowerShell and weeps whenever he sees a batch script or someone using cmd.exe. His open-source project Carbon, a PowerShell module for automating the configuration of Windows servers and workstations, has been downloaded over 2,000 times, probably by the same person. He loves chocolate, movies, video games, table-top games, TV, books, and using movie quotes in situations only he understands. He hates yard work, taking out the garbage, owning a house, and his therapist, but probably not in that order. He lives in Beaverton with his wife, two kids and the money he is saving for his children's future therapy bills. You can watch him remain silent on Twitter @splatteredbits.
Topic: Piloting DSC at WebMD Health Services
In Q2 2014, we piloted Desired State Configuration at WebMD Health Services. Come learn about our DSC authoring platform and patterns, security, how we use DSC to configure applications on developer computers, configuration deployment, and lessons learned."
Nick Chappel (who everyone should know at this point) may also be giving a brief talk on building windows flavored vagrant machines.
