<p>Note: Several people have brought up that having conversations on meetup is difficult and I'm inclined to agree. It would also be nice to have a place to discuss things about organizing without confusing people who just want to learn. So <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pdx-railsbridge-organizers">I've set up a google group for organizing discussions.</a> We'll continue to post organizers meetups here so everyone has a chance to get involved. </p> <p>You can view the notes from the previous meetup <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pdx-railsbridge-organizers/G3svrZNc-70">here</a>. </p> <p>This meetup will be to discuss our progress towards our first RailsBridge Workshop on Dec 12-13 at Epicodus. </p> <p>Please feel free to attend if you couldn't make it out for the first meetup. We still need lots of people for different <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pdx-railsbridge-organizers/G3svrZNc-70">roles</a>, if you're interested in helping send me an email at amypivo at gmail. You don't need any previous experience and I am happy to help anyone get started. </p> <p> </p> |

The Linux Clinic meets once a month on the third Sunday from 1 - 5 pm at Free Geek, 1731 SE 10th Avenue, Portland, 97214.
Bring your Linux computer that is being a brat and we'll teach it some manners. Or bring your computer that has some evil operating system on it and we'll send it home with a shiny, clean Linux distro. Or just come and look over shoulders to see what Linux is all about.
If you already know Linux well, the Clinic is also a good place to learn how to help users troubleshoot problems. It's excellent training for tech support work in Linux.
We have monitors, mice, keyboards, and miscellanous other perifpherals, so generally all you need to bring is the box.
There will also be coffee and people usually bring munchies as well. After all, you can't do computers on an empty tummy.

"No talks. You may opt to take up to 60 seconds to complain about Big Data. One paper per month, no obligation to read it."
We'll start by letting anyone who wants to take up to a minute to tell us what they've been doing with data lately.
This month's paper is [Materialization Strategies in a Column-Oriented DBMS](http://db.lcs.mit.edu/projects/cstore/abadiicde2007.pdf) by Abadi etal. Read it or don't - the goal is just to have something to start conversations. "Did you read the paper?" will do nicely.
Mention @PDXBigData on Twitter with the link to the full paper to suggest papers for future sessions.
There will be pizza. |

UX Book Club PDX is talking about A Web For Everyone by Sarah Horton and Whitney Quesenbery
Roll back
| description |
Come along and join us to talk about [A Web For Everyone](http://rosenfeldmedia.com/books/a-web-for-everyone/) by Sarah Horton and Whitney Quesenbery, which is a very useful book on accessibility and universal design. Additionally, we're going to be joined by Whitney on Skype to discuss creating digital content for everyone, including people with disabilities. Accessibility is a huge subject, and one that is frequently overlooked by designers and developers, even though there are laws covering the rights of people (for example, employees and members of the public) to be able to access information.
Come along with any of your team to discuss the important topic of accessibility and how it's not something you tack on at the end of a project, but something that can improve the usability of a product for everyone.
For information on where to buy the book, and a limited-time 30% discount code, see the post in [our Google Group](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/uxbookclubpdx).
If you haven't finished reading the book, please still come along and join in the conversation. |

AgilePDX: Does DAD Know Best, Is it Better to do LeSS or Just be SAFe? Adapting Scaling Agile Practices into the Enterprise
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
This month, Aashish Vaidya will be reprising his well attended PNSQC 2014 talk and providing additional content his time slot at the conference did not allow him to cover.
Organizations, large and small, that are experimenting and succeeding in using agile practices at team level, face their next challenge in scaling these practices across the enterprise. This challenge can come from expanding pilot programs from handful of teams to more teams; or, it comes from agile teams working with non-agile parts of the organization. The process inevitably creates confusion as teams employing different methods interface with each other. Are there large scale practices that work in easing the interaction between agile teams, and other non-agile, semi-agile business units? While scaling, can an organization get too process heavy and risk losing the original intent of transitioning to agile practices?
There are primarily three scaling frameworks that try to address scaling agile practices: Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD), Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS), and Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). Each of these frameworks draws from variety of agile and lean practices. However, an organization’s context matters most in deciding whether to embrace particular framework or only select practices to obtain desired results. In most cases, an organization has to make informed, pragmatic choices and experiment with various practices.
Cambia Health Solutions has for over three years rolled out Scrum and other agile practices across more than 40 development oriented teams. For Cambia, scaling practices, articulated in scaling frameworks, such as enterprise-wide synchronized Sprints, multi-program Quarterly Release Planning, Scrum of Scrums and Communities of Practices, have been effective in organizing our work. Many of these practices can prove useful not only to larger, but also to smaller ones, who are looking to improve and refine their adaption of agile practices.
Aashish Vaidya is a Staff Consultant at Cambia Health Solutions, parent company of The Regence Group, a not-for-profit, Health Insurance Company. He works on large portfolio projects, and serves as an internal Agile and Quality coach. He is a founding member of Cambia’s Enterprise Transition Community, Agile Best Practices Exchange and the Software Quality Best Practices Exchange. Aashish has over 20+ years of industry experience working in various leadership and management positions for companies such as Compaq, Intel, Kronos Incorporation, and other IT companies. Aashish has been a presenter and a panelist for Technology Association of Oregon, AgilePDX, RoseCity SPIN and PNSQC. He has been practicing Agile for over 7 years and holds Scrum Practitioner and ScrumMaster certifications. He is a co-author of 2 articles on AgileAtlas.org on Scrum common practices and he maintains an infrequent blog on Agile and Management topics at agilesutra.wordpress.com. Aashish holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering from Texas A&M University. |

Style Guides: Where Designers and Engineers Meet
Speaker: Brent Miller
Lead Software Engineer, New Relic
All too often the designers and engineers on a team are seen as being at odds with each other. It turns out that there's a huge area of overlap, where we all want the same things. The designer wants the button to move down 2 pixels, so it lines up to the baseline correctly. The engineer doesn't want to have to worry about the baseline, and doesn't want to write extra code to make that one button line up. We can all agree on the rules. We can have it all!
This talk looks at how you can build a functional, beautiful style guide that will help you solve many of the long-term site management problems we all have. You will walk away with a concrete understanding of how the style guide looks and behaves in code, along with the semantic and technical underpinnings necessary to make it a feasible goal.

"Inside the Developer's Studio" is a series where Cris Kelly, Director of <a href="www.portlandcodeschool.com" target="_blank">Portland Code School</a>, interviews a dev, or someone in the tech scene, to get to know the guest both personally and professionally. Through the interview, we hear their stories and experiences; we learn from their mistakes and successes; and we learn more about ourselves and our community, as we discover how they arrived in Portland's rousing tech arena, and how they're contributing to it.
Invite your friends and colleagues! Bring your questions and your lunch into our spacious classroom over Wednesday's lunch hour, Noon to 1pm. Q&A opportunities at the end of the interview. |

PDXCloud November Gathering
Roll back
| description |
Hey everyone - our next PDXCloud meetup is in a couple of weeks.
This will be our 2nd birthday! Come celebrate two years of PDXCloud with us. There will be cake! And of course pizza, beer, and other refreshments.
Our first topic is presented by Ryan Dearing: Building a Fault Tolerant API with Hystrix
See how Bodybuilding.com utilizes Hystrix to scale a REST API beyond a hundred million requests every day. Learn how we use Hystrix to build a distributed system that is both fault and latency tolerant. We will discuss the bulkhead and circuit breaker patterns used by Hystrix to provide a resilient and fast API.
The second talk will be an "Intro to Splunk", presented by Jason LaPier, Lead Architect of Elemental Technologies' Cloud platform.
On the surface, Splunk is a log aggregator, but once you start to go beyond that, you can see the potential and the power of Splunk as a data management tool. I’ll briefly go over the components and architecture of Splunk, some of the key features and product offerings, and then dive into a demo of how it works and how we use it at Elemental. Centralized logging is a critical tool in a cloud-based environment, as it lets you review the history and analysis of data from instances that have come and gone at any time.
As always, doors will open at 6:30PM, so feel free to show up a little early to grab food and drink and do some socializing. Presentation will start at 7PM. |
