Chris Dickinson will be presenting "Better living through CFG Generation" Don't worry if you don't know what a CFG (Control Flow Graph) is. He will explain them!
Presentations start at 6:30pm. We welcome open dialogue during the presentations. We're all here to learn!
Come a little early to say hi. We'll also be hanging out at 6:15pm to help any newcomers needing help to getting started by installing node and npm.
It will be a nice variety of topics and level of talks. If anyone is interested, we could also take discussions to post-talk drinks nearby. Maybe even hack a little.
New coders and new friends welcome! Say hi, make noise, and ask questions.

Look for the friends standing by the door to let you in! If you arrive past 6:35pm, be patient! Or tweet @pdxnode. We'll come get you shortly.

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
* Amy Pivo: RailsBridge Portland introduction
* Markus Roberts: "Thinking Outside the Framework"
* Ben Orenstein (host of the Giant Robots podcast, other talks: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DC-pQPq0acs">Refactoring from Good to Great</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9JXH7JPjR4">How to Talk to Developers</a>): "Live-coding Flappy Bird in ClojureScript"
* Jason Clark: "Get Your Shoes (Back) On!"
Years ago the enigmatic Rubyist \_why created Shoes, a tiny GUI toolkit for writing fun, simple applications in Ruby. Shoes served as the foundation for Hackety Hack, a programming environment specially designed to be accessible to kids.
In the wake of \_why's departure, many people assumed Shoes was finished as well. Such is not the case!
Shoes has continued to evolve and grow, and the latest revision (Shoes4) builds off the cross-platform strengths of JRuby and SWT. If you've ever wanted to write a desktop app as easily as you write a web page, Shoes is for you. If you've ever wanted to get involved in a welcoming, accessible open source project, we'll show you how to hack on Shoes.
Get your Shoes on, and let's build something awesome!
#
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>. The group usually meets on the first Tuesday of the month, "Ruby Tuesday" -- see you there!

<p>Workfrom Wednesday comes back to the East Side to try something new!!</p> <p>This week we'll be going to a Portland, OR and Workfrom staple and favorite <a href="https://workfrom.co/water-avenue-coffee">Water Ave Coffee</a>. They have sandwich, bagels, salad, oatmeal, and yogurt as well as some of the best coffee in the city. We try to support each location that supports us by buying something. So come hungry, in need of a coffee, and ready to get some work done with awesome people. </p> <p><br>A lot of people wanted to go get drinks after Workfrom Wednesday, so that is exactly what we will be doing. Around 4:30, we will move from Water Ave Coffee to Bunk Bar right next door for drinks and food. For anyone who has not been, bunk has some of the best sandwiches in the city. To note, Bunk has happy hour from 3:00-6:00 giving $1 off all well drinks and beers. </p> <p>You can find out more about Water Ave Coffee and why it's awesome on their <a href="https://workfrom.co/water-avenue-coffee">Workfrom page</a>.</p> |

Let’s give Thanks4Good and celebrate local nonprofits and social change groups that do amazing — yet often unrecognized — work with technology.
For this event, we have some amazing groups lined up to speak about their nonproft tech successes, their learning moments, and more. We hope these stories spark new ideas and conversations about how to do more with technology in your own organization.
To get an idea of what's to come: You'll hear about how to mobilize a 1,000+ member volunteer group with CiviCRM, hear the pros and cons of choosing open source software for a nonprofit's IT infrastructure, and more.
Come learn and celebrate the good work your nonprofit or social change organization does for our community! |

RefreshPDX - Adaptive Input
Roll back
| description |
The doors open to the event at 6:00pm and we will start the talk at 6:30pm sharp!
Our Topic
Windows 8. Chromebook Pixel. Ubuntu Phone. These devices shatter another consensual hallucination that we web developers have bought into: mobile = touch and desktop = keyboard and mouse.
We have tablets with keyboards; laptops that become tablets; laptops with touch screens; phones with physical keyboards; and even phones that become desktop computers. Not to mention new forms of input like cameras, voice control and sensors.
One of the core things that responsive design has taught us is that we have to be comfortable with the ambiguity of not knowing what the size of our canvas is going to be. Input has that same ambiguity. It is transient. It is unknowable.
Reconciling that understanding from a design and implementation perspective is going to be as big a challenge if not bigger than the one we faced coming to grips with responsive design.
We've learned how to respond to screen size. Our next challenge is learning how to adapt to different forms of input.
Our Presenter, Jason Grigsby
In 2000, Jason got his first mobile phone. He became obsessed with how the world could be a better place if everyone had access to the world's information in their pockets. But WAP was crap so he headed back to the desktop web for several years. Now Jason spends far too much time thinking about mobile. Jason is a mobile strategist, co-founder of Cloudfour and frequently speaks about mobile technology and strategy.
Join us after the workshop for a short walk to a local establishment for libation, sponsored by nGen Works!
Our Venue, currently TBD
We're checking out some new digs and will update everyone when we make a decision.

The doors open to the event at 6:00pm and we will start the talk at 6:30pm sharp!
Our Topic
Windows 8. Chromebook Pixel. Ubuntu Phone. These devices shatter another consensual hallucination that we web developers have bought into: mobile = touch and desktop = keyboard and mouse.
We have tablets with keyboards; laptops that become tablets; laptops with touch screens; phones with physical keyboards; and even phones that become desktop computers. Not to mention new forms of input like cameras, voice control and sensors.
One of the core things that responsive design has taught us is that we have to be comfortable with the ambiguity of not knowing what the size of our canvas is going to be. Input has that same ambiguity. It is transient. It is unknowable.
Reconciling that understanding from a design and implementation perspective is going to be as big a challenge if not bigger than the one we faced coming to grips with responsive design.
We've learned how to respond to screen size. Our next challenge is learning how to adapt to different forms of input.

Galois tech talk: Read-copy update (RCU) validation and verification for Linux
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
abstract:
Read-copy update (RCU) is a synchronization mechanism that is sometimes used as an alternative to reader-writer locking (among other things) that was added to the Linux kernel in 2002. A similar mechanism was added to Sequent’s DYNIX/ptx parallel UNIX kernel in 1993, and antecedents go back to at least 1980. Although a fully functional textbook implementation of RCU comprises only about 20 lines of code, the Linux-kernel implementation comprises more than 15,000 lines of code due to harsh requirements involving performance, scalability, energy efficiency, real-time response, memory footprint, module unloading, hotplugging of CPUs, and software-engineering considerations.
Therefore, a key Linux-kernel RCU challenge is validation and verification. To this end, more than 2500 lines of the current Linux-kernel implementation do torture testing. However, there are now more than one billion devices running Linux, so that an RCU bug that manifested on average once every million years of machine time would manifest about three times every day across the installed base. Furthermore, the combination of Internet of Things and Josh Triplett’s Linux Kernel Tinification project is likely to significantly increase the number of running instances.
I write and run rcutorture tests myself, and I like to think that my 20 years of parallel-code testing experience allows me to meet this validation challenge, but a simple analysis suggests a gap of several orders of magnitude. Additional validation and verification techniques are thus called for. This talk gives a brief overview of RCU and describes my adventures evaluating various verification techniques.
bio:
Paul E. McKenney has been coding for almost four decades, more than half of that on parallel hardware, where his work has earned him a reputation among some as a flaming heretic. Over the past decade, Paul has been an IBM Distinguished Engineer at the IBM Linux Technology Center. Paul maintains the RCU implementation within the Linux kernel, where the variety of workloads present highly entertaining performance, scalability, real-time response, and energy-efficiency challenges. Prior to that, he worked on the DYNIX/ptx kernel at Sequent, and prior to that on packet-radio and Internet protocols (but long before it was polite to mention Internet at cocktail parties), system administration, business applications, and real-time systems. He has a BS in Computer Science and another in Mechanical Engineering along with an MS in Computer Science, all from Oregon State University. He also has a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from OGI/OHSU. He has more than 100 publications and more than 50 patents. His hobbies include what passes for running at his age along with the usual house-wife-and-kids habit. |

Big shiny enterprise-sized tools all tend to suffer from a common weakness: flexibility. Flexibility sounds great when customers are evaluating a tool. But it can backfire and actually exacerbate the problems a customer is hoping to solve, if there is no process to underscore and manage the flexibility.
Team Foundation Server by Microsoft has this weakness in droves! Dustin will be presenting some concepts that they've put in place to manage the use of TFS that has elevated it from a painful free-for-all, to a highly effective tool that supports their specific business model perfectly. Yes, he will be discussing everybody's favorite topic …wait for it… PROCESS!

SQAUG Presents: Finding Room for Quality in Start-Up Culture
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
There are many reasons why QA roles have a hard time getting funded in start-up organizations. Most start-ups begin with small teams that adopt (read: ignore) Lean or Agile methodologies and tend to favor TDD or rapid iteration to get the products built or shipped as quickly as possible. Because every dollar counts up front, getting 'something' out the door quickly often trumps making sure quality is built in. Market pressures, competition, and limited resources often force start-ups to make difficult (read: convenient) choices in order to keep the lights on.
This session will cover how QA can become a relevant role in this challenging environment and will discuss strategies that QA professionals can use to find their way into fulfilling quality roles in start-ups.
About Our Speaker: Frank D’Andrea is an experienced listener, thinker, and doer. He likes motivating self-organizing teams, eliminating wasteful practices, and delivering digital solutions that are designed to be flexible and that are developed in a sustainable way. He believes in engaging clients as partners, demonstrating the value of iterative delivery, and bringing award-winning products and services to the marketplace. He is an Agile instigator and relentless self-critic as well as a process improvement specialist. Specialties: Internet of Things (IoT), Social, Mobile, SaaS, Cloud, Big Data, Product Management, Digital Strategy, Market Strategy, Product Requirements, Customer Implementations, and Business Development.
Agenda:
5:30-6:00PM: Pizza and Networking
6:00-6:15PM: SQAUG Announcements
6:15-7:30PM: Presentation/Q&A
Details:
• Event is Free to the public

AppNexus' advertising systems generate over 120 TB of data everyday, which makes running a mission-critical data pipeline with tight SLAs (encompassing over a 1000 ETL jobs running hourly) an extremely challenging endeavor.
Please join our next Tech Talk on November 12th as AppNexus' Senior Data team, Ersin Yilmaz, Swapnil Pandit, and Ankit Malhotra, give an insider's look of our Data stack and specifically how the team leverages Hadoop, HBase and other technologies and strategies to tame this data.
Doors open at 6:00pm -- Please join us for food and drinks prior to the presentation at 6:30pm. |
