Branding for Brainiacs
Roll back

Space is limited; RSVP http://bit.ly/1DQml6c
Startups are in the air! The Portland Startup scene is booming, Portland Startup Weekend is weeks away, as is Global Startup Battle..
In celebration of you, the innovators behind the movement, PrestoBox and PDX Code Guild present Branding for Brainiacs.
Startup founders rule. You are ready to reinvent the world with your brilliant idea for a startup. But to get your business off the ground you need to connect with customers. You need a brand.
A brand is what the outside world thinks of you. It’s communicated in everything you do - from how you answer the phone, to the colors on your homepage, to the logo on your door. You need to figure out what you stand for and how that walks and talks.
Your customers may care less about the nuts and bolts of your business than your colors.
Did you know…
92.6% of people say that visual dimension is the #1 influencing factor affecting their purchase decision?
People make a subconscious judgment about a product within 90 seconds of viewing? Up to 90% of that is based on color!
Come to this workshop to learn how to build your brand, including:
- How to choose your colors
- How to choose your fonts
- How to choose your images
- How to develop your voice
- How to build your logo
- How to build your website, business card & other branding elements
Walk away from this workshop with:
- Your brand personality
- Tools to build your brand and win business
- The ability to think like a creative (even if you’re not)
This workshop is presented by PrestoBox, the world’s first automated branding agency. What used to cost thousands of dollars and take months of time now can happen at the snap of your fingers.

Rentrak Hackathon
Roll back

The Rentrak Hackathon is a gathering of laptops and laughter. Classically, we all sit in a square and type words onto a keyboard that then get turned into a "computerized program". It's a good chance to work on your personal projects, learn what your peers are up to (computer-wise), figure out what the best programming language is, and/or say the words "I don't have anything to work on" or "I forgot my laptop". This event is very informal, and there is no specific project we'll be focusing our efforts on.
Food and refreshments are served. RSVPing to [email protected] is appreciated, but not required.
Come check out Rentrak's new downtown office. Everyone is welcome to join us! |

AgilePDX Dntn Pub Lunch: Why the Board Matters in Kanban
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
As pitched in October, we have Matt Mayer coming to talk to use in December. Remember, anyone can pitch a talk to the group just by showing up and tossing in your idea when we vote on upcoming topics at the end of the hour.
At Monsoon, we’ve tried and tested Kanban—and we’ve learned a lot! Our microservices team is driven to do fast, small changes to deliver bug fixes and features to production fast. Interdependencies between services mean a single service going down causes customers and Monsoon to lose money. Using a physical Kanban board meant the difference between guessing where bottlenecks were versus identifying the problem, targeting it and applying multiple forces to eliminate it. It also makes large tickets stand out so they can be analyzed and sliced into smaller tickets for faster delivery.
Matthew Mayer has been programming professionally since 2006, with an emphasis on performance and complex problem solving. He’s worked with a variety of technologies from ASP.NET web applications to .NET installed products to cloud services in Go, quickly providing data for customers worldwide. He developed an increasing interest in integration tests and tools for that end, such as cucumber and Docker. He advocates for close integration with QA counterparts so programmers can focus on delivering early and often, lowering barriers to entry for new team members.
RSVP's to the AgilePDX Yahoo list or to [email protected] are much appreciated. We occassionally have very large turnouts, and its great to be able to warn the wait staff.
Look for us in the back. We start on time and end on time so you can get back to making the world safe for agilists everywhere. Yes, the beer flows and so does the pub grub.

Hello fellow OpenStack developers. We seem to be growing in size so lets have some drinks and say hello!
Dont fear, chatting about OpenStack in particular will not be required (or even encouraged). This is mostly a social thing to get to know other locals who are hacking on the same project.
Things to discuss:
Favorite hacking locations.
What to do during a 13hr trip to Paris.
When do we get Google fiber?
Things to NOT discuss:
Can I get a review/feature in OpenStack.
Hope to see you there!
-greghaynes
P.S. Im hoping to make this a somewhat regular thing, although im not sure of the frequency... maybe monthly? |

Roll back

Southeast Portland Coder's Night was a glorious gathering of folks. Many nachos were had while discussing various projects. This died out as Side Door stopped being open after 7pm.
A few of us have tried various venues but haven't been happy with many of them. One venue a few of us would hang out at after user groups is the Commodore Lounge on SW 17th and Burnside. It has wifi, delicious food, and a wide range of drinks. The power situation could be better but we are sure we can improve this with time.
So, come along, have a drink and some food with us as we embark on the next stage of Portland Coder Nights. The time is a guideline, show up when it makes sense to you and leave when you want or need to. These are just the hours we've seen work for a majority of folks in the past. |

When most people imagine a tech startup’s office they probably conjure up glossy stereotypes: an open workspace, maybe in a converted warehouse, with modern design and amenities from beer on tap to a ping pong table.
In reality, we know you’re running lean and working out of your garage or perhaps even a local tech incubator. But how do you make the giant leap into leasing your own new space?
Local real estate experts Ajay Malhotra of CBRE, Kristin Hammond of Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) and Peter Andrews of Melvin Mark have joined forces to help you navigate the murky waters of commercial real estate! Join us for Real Estate for Startups 101 on Thursday, November 20 from 4--6pm.
You will:
Learn about the current market, building types and locations
Set realistic timelines for finding a new space
Understand the true cost of a lease
And more!
We’ll allow plenty of time for discussion with the experts so you can find answers to all your questions about commercial real estate.
The event is free and refreshments are provided, but please RSVP.

Richard Stallman - Copyright vs Community in the Age of Computer Networks
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
Copyright developed in the age of the printing press, and was designed
to fit with the system of centralized copying imposed by the printing
press. But the copyright system does not fit well with computer
networks, and only draconian punishments can enforce it.
The global corporations that profit from copyright are lobbying
for draconian punishments, and to increase their copyright powers,
while suppressing public access to technology. But if we
seriously hope to serve the only legitimate purpose of
copyright--to promote progress, for the benefit of the
public--then we must make changes in the other direction.

PDX Hardware Startup Meetup

Summer is officially come to an end, so it's time to start back up the PDX Hardware Startup Meetups. Hopefully everyone enjoyed their summer and is ready for the rain.
The next PDX Hardware Startup Meetup is going to be October 28th, at 5:30-8:00 PM.
R&D Plastics is a local Plastic Injection Molder and is going to come talk about plastic injection molding. Here is an abstract of their presentation:
"As a new or infrequent designer/developer of injection molded products it can be very difficult to understand the impact of design features, material selection, and tool construction on the cost and lead-time of your products. The decisions you make have a great impact on part cost and tool build lead-times.
In this session, we will discuss what to expect when designing and developing a plastic injection molded part. We will provide examples that show the impact of good design decisions and how they greatly improve the product development cycle. Your understanding of the injection molding workflow and what you should expect from your injection molding partner will guide you through good decision making for a successful product release."
Charlie O’Bosky & Kyle Tarr will be joining us and giving the presentation.
As always, there will be free Pizza and Beer provided for everyone and some time to share any projects you are working on.
Location: PSU Business Accelerator. 2828 SW Corbett. The building can be tricky to find, and the best way to get directions is to use the intersection of "SW Corbett & SW Meade", that way Google Maps won't take you on a wild goose chase.
Parking: It's FREE. You can park anywhere behind the building for free. There should be plenty of parking so don't worry about having to pay for a spot.
Please share this event with anyone you think may be interested, the more people we can get involved the more beneficial it will be to everyone. |

PDXScala Monthly Meeting
Roll back

<p>Hey folks! It’s time again for our monthly meeting. Whether you’re a newcomer to Scala or an experienced expert, we’d love to have you join us. This month we have very lucky timing overlapping with <a href="http://2014.splashcon.org/track/oopsla2014">OOPSLA</a>, which means we'll have some special guests joining us for our meeting. Two of these guests will be giving talks: Tiark Rompf and Vald Ureche.</p> <p>Tiark Rompf graduated EPFL in the Scala team, where he developed the <a href="http://scala-lms.github.io/">Lightweight Modular Staging framework</a> (LMS), which compiles domain-specific programs to efficient and parallel code for GPUs, multi-threaded CPUs and clusters. Currently Tiark is a professor at Purdue University and he just got the best paper award in the most prestigious conference in databases, VLDB, for a paper applying the Lightweight Modular Staging technique for databases queries. Tiark will be discussing LMS.</p> <p>Vlad Ureche is a PhD student in the Scala Lab at EPFL, where he's working on optimizing high-level patterns in the Scala programming language down to fast JVM bytecode. His main project, miniboxing (<a href="http://scala-miniboxing.org/">scala-miniboxing.org</a>), is aimed at compiling generic classes down to very efficient bytecode. Vlad also contributed to the Scala compiler in the areas of specialization, the JVM backend and on the scaladoc tool, where you may have seen the diagrams and the implicit member listings he developed.</p> <p>Vlad's talk is titled <i>Miniboxing: JVM Generics without the overhead</i>. The following abstract provides an overview of this talk:</p> <p>Generics are now a must-have in any statically typed programming language. Yet, there is a strong tension between the uniform interface exposed to programmers and the low level implementation, which has to deal with data of different sizes and semantics: booleans, integers, floating-point numbers and heap objects. Different languages have taken in very different paths to implementing generics, each with its own advantages and drawbacks. In Java and other JVM languages the standard is boxing primitive values, meaning that heap objects are used to carry primitive values. This leads to significant slowdowns and increased heap consumption, especially when using generic collections for primitive types.</p> <p>Scala proposes specialization as an alternative to boxing: the compiler can duplicate and adapt user code for each primitive type, thus using unboxed data. Specialization has been shown to reliably speed up code and is extensively used in established community libraries, such as spire (non/spire) and breeze (<a href="http://scalanlp.org/">scalanlp.org</a>). But statically duplicating code can result in significant jar sizes and long compilation times. For example, specializing a 3-element tuple, which takes three type parameters, yields 1000 almost-identical classes.</p> <p>In the miniboxing project we set out to reduce the static bytecode size while maintaining optimality: we build on the idea of tagged union, thus offering a single variant of the code for all primitive value types. This means the 3-element tuple can now be specialized with just 8 classes. But matching the performance of specialization was a long and convoluted journey. In this presentation I will explain the basics of miniboxing and show what we had to do to match the speed of specialized code.</p> <p>The project's website, <a href="http://scala-miniboxing.org/">scala-miniboxing.org</a>, contains all you need to get started: the miniboxing compiler plugin, documentation, usage examples and benchmarks.</p> |

Data is changing everything, including what it takes to win in business. Are you ready? Are you savvy about your data? If not, you're not alone. The roadblocks are formidable: too much data from too many sources; not enough data understanding on the business side; low quality data or incomprehensible data; limited analysis tool sets.
What does it take to master your data? What does that look like and how do you get there as painlessly as possible? Why is Power BI such a smart way to go?
Join CSG Pro to look at a new paradigm for building your organizational data expertise. We'll talk technology and tools, but we'll be focused on strategy.
• Learn what skill base you need
• Learn what management commitment looks like
• Learn why (and how) Power BI is a fast track way to get there
• Understand how to start small for a big payout
This seminar is geared toward director, VP and C level executives who think strategically about their businesses data.
If you're a data steward or analyst, this would be a great event to bring your boss to. We show the value of these new powerful business analytics tools.
Please register via the website link. (FREE, and Breakfast is included)

###**THE FUZZY FRONT END OF PRODUCT INNOVATION**
###**PDMA Learning and Networking Event**
###**Thursday, November 20, 2014**
###**6:00 - 8:00pm**
###**Jon Marshall, President & Chief Innovateur, Innovation Frameworks**
The Fuzzy Front End (FFE) is the messy "getting started" period of new product development processes. It includes opportunity analysis, concept generation, and pre-technical evaluation. As important as they are, these activities are often chaotic, unpredictable, and unstructured. Jon will provide an overview of this challenging period and then describe 2-3 tools or techniques that you can apply to start to bring clarity and order to this critical but least understood phase of the product life cycle. We will provide time for Q&A and an interactive discussion with the audience.
Jon is one of the area’s leading authorities on the FFE and innovation processes. For over 10 years Jon has been a fervent student and practitioner of many aspects of innovation, such as frameworks and models, creative and critical thinking, and metrics. His background in engineering and project management helps Jon merge innovation principles with the practical realities of developing products.
The Product Development and Management Association (PDMA) is the premier global advocate for product development and management professionals. The Oregon chapter's mission is to help local professionals and organizations to identify, develop, and launch more innovative and profitable products and services through cross-industry collaboration, thought leadership, and the sharing of best practices and practical knowledge. For more information about the Oregon Chapter of the PDMA, please contact: David Nash, Chapter President, at [email protected].
We encourage everyone in Oregon who is interested in the Product Development and Management Association to become a member of the National PDMA. For a great explanation on the benefits of membership in the PDMA, click [here](http://www.pdma.org/p/cm/ld/fid=171)
**Schedule:**
6:00 – 6:30pm: Gathering / Networking / Refreshments**
6:30 – 6:45pm: Announcements (upcoming events, who’s hiring, etc.)
6:45 – 7:30pm: Panel Discussion
7:30 – 7:45pm: Q&A / Open discussion
7:45 – 8:00pm: Networking
**Cost:**
$10 on-line registration prior to the event **
$15 at the door
A discount is available for PDMA members
**To register online, click the website above**
** Note: This is a no-host event. The complete Lucky Lab food and drink menu is available. Grab a cold ale & bite to eat - and bring a friend or colleague to add to the discussion! |

pdxdevops
Roll back
| description |
The next meeting of pdxdevops will be focusing on incident response. We'll have a presentation from Chief Hanson (Marion County Fire #1) and we will then have a group discussion. What does incident response mean in a devops context? Do our tools and processes make event response easier or harder? The numbers say that organizations doing devops generally have both higher fail rate and lower mean time to recovery. Does this apply only to 'planned changes' such as deploys, or does it apply to 'page in the middle of the night' as well? As automation and devops reduce the number of humans involved in operations, how do we prevent pager-fatigue?
The format will be a brief presentation followed by a round table discussion. Please bring yourself, your stories, and your experiences. If you would like to more formally present on this topic, we could probably squeeze a couple of short 10-15 minute talks in. Overall the goal is to be very lassiez-faire.
Speaker Bio: Kevin Henson is currently the Fire Chief for Marion County Fire District #1 in Salem. He is a Paramedic and has served in emergency services for the past 27 years. Chief Henson serves on the Advisory Board of the Willamette Valley Communications 911 Center, and has worked with 911 center leadership for the past twenty years.
pdxdevops is a Portland, Oregon user group that explores the glorious intersection of software development and systems operations, and shares practical advice on working effectively in an era of agile infrastructure, server automation and cloud computing. The group welcomes participants interested in any related products, technologies and methodologies. The group has been meeting regularly since August 2010 for presentations, demos and discussions applicable to all skill levels, from newbies and experts. Every month 15-35 people come together to share their knowledge, projects and enthusiasm for devops – join us! |

Galois tech talk: Blame, coercions, and threesomes: together again for the first time
Roll back

abstract:
We present four calculi for gradual typing: $\lambda\B$, based on the blame calculus of Wadler and Findler~(2009); $\lambda\C$, based on the coercion calculus of Henglein~(1994); and $\lambda\T$ and $\lambda\W$, based on the threesome calculi with and without blame of Siek and Wadler~(2010). We define translations from $\lambda\B$ to $\lambda\C$, from $\lambda\C$ to $\lambda\T$, and from $\lambda\T$ to $\lambda\W$. We show each of the translations is fully abstract —far stronger correctness results than have previously appeared.
bio:
Philip Wadler is Professor of Theoretical Computer Science at the University of Edinburgh. He is an ACM Fellow and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, past chair of ACM SIGPLAN, past holder of a Royal Society-Wolfson Research Merit Fellowship, and a winner of the POPL Most Influential Paper Award.

Portland Avant Garde Software - Famo.us and Cloud DataStore
Roll back
| description |
This meeting will be of the "mixed mode" variety to build upon the theme of the announcements coming from our friends in Famo.us.
We will be simulcasting the demos and announcements for the new Famo.us release intermixed with presentations from Vizidrix and general socialization.
Before and after the show, the Vizidrix team will be talking about some of the challenges they faced and patterns they discovered while designing a data model using Google's Cloud DataStore.
If you caught our previous event we discussed some of the concepts around event sourcing and eventual consistency. In the 'onsite' portion of this meeting we will be presenting code and talking about specific examples of using consistency constraints to your advantage in a distributed system. |
