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

Science on Tap - Digital Communication

Science on Tap is a science lecture series where you can sit back, enjoy a pint, and laugh while you learn. Listen to experts talk about the science in your neighborhood and around the world. You don’t have to be a science geek to have fun—all you need is a thirst for knowledge!
We’re told that digital is better than analog, but have you ever wondered why your cell phone sometimes drops calls? Mathematician Greg Landweber studies applications of error correcting codes, that is, ways of encoding digital information so that garbled signals can still be decoded. He will introduce several examples of error detection and correction, as well as discuss the limits of these codes. Not a math person? Never fear! Using logic, hands-on activities, and a geometrical decoding machine of his own design, Landweber will explain how and why digital communication works. |

Portland Ruby Brigade monthly meeting

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
* 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.

# 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!

Portland Linux/Unix Group General Meeting Announcement
Who: Jesse Bufton<br>
What: ownCloud<br>
Where: PSU, 1930 SW 4th Ave. Room FAB 86-01 (Lower Level)<br>
When: Thursday, November 6th, 2014 at 7pm<br>
Why: The pursuit of technology freedom<br>
Stream: http://pdxlinux.org/live/
Web-based file hosting, synchronization, and collaborative editing services have made sharing files easier than ever. While these features aren't new, the web 2.0 cloud context they are being offered through has brought them to the reach of the average user with low barriers to use. These freemium services often come at a hidden price of control, privacy, and usually security. This presentation will give an overview of what ownCloud is, why one might use it, what technologies it employs, the services & features it offers, how to set it up, and discuss the use case the presenter has deployed.
Jesse Bufton is an independent web designer/developer and sometimes graphic designer. Jesse began his journey to *nix operating systems in 2000. In his most zen of moments, Jesse forages wild plants, hunts mushrooms, and ferments both food and beverage with friends--all accounted for on the blog Fermentemptations.com
Many will head to the Lucky Lab at 1945 NW Quimby St. after the meeting.

PDXCloud November Gathering

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.
Right now we have one talk lined up that I'm pretty excited about. If anyone has a second topic, I'd love to get another one on the agenda. Shoot me an email at [email protected].
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.
Hope to see you there, and let me know if anyone else wants to do a talk!
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. |

What's better than hanging out with techies over a couple pints of Portland craft beer? If you can't think of anything either, then join us at Startup Happy Hour.
Our next happy hour brings us to Cascade Brewing Barrel House, which specializes in sour beers, many of which are mixed with fruit to add a palatable sweetness.
By popular request, we're moving our start time to later in the evening, kicking off at 6:30 PM. Hope to see you there!

Decision Architecture: Building Robust Business and Technology Decisions -- Oregon Enterprise Architects
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
Decision Architecture tackles the tough problem of aligning the best decision-making techniques to the problem at hand and the resources available. It helps structure information to build, vet and reuse critical decisions. It incorporates risk, uncertainty, and stakeholder concerns into business, application and technical decisions.
Decision Architecture matches tried and true decision-support methods to each decision requirement. It extends these methods as needed with state-of-the-art analytical methods and makes the best use of modern team building best practices to enfranchise all stakeholders. It helps organizations build decision repositories so that decisions can be reused.
If you answer yes to any one of the following questions, then this event is for you!
### Does your organization:
• Revisit decisions that were declared final?
• Make team decisions by edict or by the loudest voice?
• Have little confidence in decisions based on uncertain information?
• Not justify, record, or reuse decisions?
• Have projects that are over budget and time with reduced performance?
### Guest Speaker:
[David Ullman](https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=1915422&authType=OPENLINK&authToken=33T_&locale=en_US&srchid=174828481413913730006&srchindex=1&srchtotal=29&trk=vsrp_people_res_name&trkInfo=VSRPsearchId%3A174828481413913730006%2CVSRPtargetId%3A1915422%2CVSRPcmpt%3Aprimary) , Decision Architect, EA Principals

Growing Sales by Defining, Refining and Aligning | CEO Leadership Exchange

| description |
Growing Sales – this is the #1 issue that comes up each year in the TAO Member Survey! Please join us on November 11th as our special guest, [Tim Moriarty](http://www.linkedin.com/in/timothypmoriarty) , Senior Sales Executive at [Dell](http://www.dell.com/) and [Apple](http://www.apple.com/) will share two case studies on how those companies were able to define and refine their respective organizations for optimal success in growing sales.
Dell employed a more collaborative approach, using a concept known as “The Triangle”, which aligned all activities around three core company goals. In contrast, Apple utilized a “Stove Pipe”, or top-down, command and control approach where everyone has very narrowly-defined responsibilities. Tim will walk through each of these approaches and give explicit examples of why each approach worked for each of the companies and how these approaches can be applied to different corporate cultures.
In addition, you will have ample time to talk 1:1 with Tim in the TAO Blazer Suite as we conclude the evening watching the Portland Trail Blazers take on the Charlotte Hornets. Space is limited, so register right away!
Event Details:
When: Tuesday, November 11, 2014
Time: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM
5:00 PM – networking reception in Private Dinning Suite
5:30 PM – moderated discussion in Private Dinning Suite
7:00 PM – Trail Blazer tip-off against Charlotte Hornets in combined suites 56 & 57
Where: Moda Center, Portland, OR
Cost: $95 Members | $125 Nonmembers -- dinner and game included |

TiE Pearl Pitch Club; featuring Colin O'Neill: "Slides That Don't Suck"
Roll back

You've worked hard on the structure of your pitch.
You've practiced your delivery.
But somehow your story is just not engaging people.
Could be it because your slide deck, ... well, kinda sucks?
You are not alone! A lot of entrepreneurs find it hard to resist putting too much information on their slides.
Design is more important than ever - and it's not limited to your product or your website.
The last thing you want, is for your slide deck to be a hindrance instead of a help, in conveying your story in an engaging manner
Are you sure that your slide deck supports and reinforces your message? How about some insights from a consummate user experience and marketing expert?
Come and join us at TiE Pearl Pitch Club, this time featuring a presentation by Colin O'Neill of ISITE Design: "Slides That Don't Suck".
As Vice President of User Experience, Colin is not only an impressive creative talent; he is also a passionate and deeply experienced marketer with a long career, working with customers like IBM, Kodak, Charles Schwab, LinkedIn and Adobe, who knows how to engage and connect.
So, bring your pitches (and your slides)!
We will start the evening with an opportunity to network while enjoying refreshments. Then we will listen to Colin's presentation, after which you can practice your pitches, with (or without) slide decks, to get actionable and valuable feedback from Colin, peers, TiE mentors and other attendees.
Don't miss this - your slide deck, and your pitch, will be all the better for it!
TiE Members: FREE
Public: $25 |
