The PMI Agile Roundtable provides a forum for exchanging ideas, techniques and real world experiences (good and bad) in managing agile projects. Although sponsored by PMI, all roles and backgrounds are welcome and encouraged to participate / debate. We value the variety of perspectives and levels of experience with agile.
This month the group will discuss The Agile Practice Guide:
"Created in partnership with Agile Alliance®, the Agile Practice Guide* provides tools, situational guidelines and an understanding of the various agile approaches available to enable better results. It is especially useful for those project managers accustomed to a more traditional environment to adapt to a more agile approach."
PMI members can download a pdf version of the practice guide at: https://www.pmi.org/pmbok-guide-standards/practice-guides/agile
Thanks to The Standard for their continued support
Note: 1 PMI PDU can be claimed for attending this event. |

# Introduction to Deep Learning with Tensorflow and Keras
Deep Learning (DL) is a fast growing and exciting sub-field of machine learning and AI that has recently made extraordinary advancements in many applications such as image recognition, natural language processing, speech transcription, classification and forecasting.
This 2 day introductory course focuses on giving you a firm foundation of deep learning techniques using a combination of presentations and hands-on exercises. The presentations introduce essential background and theory and allow for questions and discussions. And the exercises use Jupyter notebooks with Keras and Tensorflow to show you the essentials of building and training neural nets.
Deep learning can transform any industry. This course will help you find creative ways to apply it to yours.
## You'll learn:
* The fundamentals of deep learning including
* how to build dense / fully connected networks
* how to use convolutional layers
* when to use recurrent LSTM/GRU networks
* how to choose an optimizer and loss function
* when to use dropout and batch normalization
* how to prepare training and test data
* and more
* How to navigate the options and decisions for different model architectures.
* Efficiently use and fine-tune pre-trained models.
## So that you can:
* identify important and appropriate questions
* collect and prepare real world data
* design and train effective models
... to get the answers you need for your business and career.
## You'll get the most out of this course if:
* You have a familiarity with Python and Numpy.
* You have a deep curiosity and interest in learning about machine learning.
* You want to understand and work with cutting edge deep learning approaches with complex data.
**Note: You don't need to be a math wizard** - this is a hands on practical class. Though knowing more is always helpful, deep understanding of linear algebra and and calculus are not necessary. We will cover all the math basics necessary to get started in the class.
## Topics
Over the 2 days we will cover
1. Deep Learning Introduction and Overview
2. Dense NNs and Keras
3. Essential Theory
4. Convolutional NNs
5. Data Preparation
6. Keras API Deep Dive
7. Transfer Learning
8. Advanced Architectures
9. Introduction to Tensorflow
10. Practical Training Tips
11. Tensorflow Deep Dive
12. Production and Deployment
## Preparation
If you'd like to work with software installed on your own laptop we suggest you download and install [Conda](https://conda.io/docs/) and use to to install Python3, Numpy, Pandas, Jupyter, Tensorflow and Keras.
A [docker](https://www.docker.com) image with the necessary software pre-installed will also be made available.
If you can't install Conda or Docker, let us know when you register and we will strive to provide access to a running Jupyter Notebook instance.
Also, feel free to bring a CSV of a data set you are interested in exploring and a description of what you'd like to predict.
## Schedule
Saturday Jan 27 and Feb 3rd, 9AM - 1PM
Alchemy Code Lab

Join us for our first Studio Tours installment of 2018! We will be touring <a href="https://www.gravitatedesign.com/">Gravitate</a>, a web design and development agency that makes the most of their 10,000 sq. ft. space in Vancouver, WA. Learn how this fun bunch of 21 team members crank out incredible work, including:
- <a href="https://www.visitseattle.org/">Visit Seattle</a>
And so much more.
We will be touring the space, sipping beverages, eating snacks, and providing answers to your insightful questions. So come along for the tour — this is one you don’t want to miss!
<strong>Spend the day in Vancouver</strong>
Nervous about the post-work commute? We have shifted the start-time of Studio Tours to 6:00PM to accommodate travel, but we also recommend that you spend the day working in Vancouver! This great city (just north of Portland) offers wonderful work-friendly cafes and brewpubs to keep you focused, motivated, and exploring.
<strong>What are AIGA Portland Studio Tours?</strong>
Studio Tours is a bi-monthly expedition that offers rare guided tours of local studios. We take an exclusive inside look at the work, people and culture. Rotating between the city’s four quadrants and beyond, Studio Tours explores the diverse design community within Portland.

At Alchemy Code Lab, we strive to cultivate more creativity, opportunity, and impact for everyone in our community through code. That’s why we’re excited to announce App Lab, a brand new consultancy program that combines the fresh talent of Alchemy grads with the seasoned skill of Alchemy mentors to bring the web & mobile application ideas of local entrepreneurs, businesses, and nonprofits to life!
Do you have a vision for an app or a technology component of your business you’ve been unable to realize? The reality is that paying full price for an MVP or internal app has traditionally be cost-prohibitive -- and as a result, many ideas simply never get built.
Come learn about App Lab’s cost-effective approach to small-scale app development (think beauty school haircut or culinary institute dining, but for apps) and see if our consultancy is a good fit!

PDX Women in Tech (PDXWIT) January Happy Hour Networking Event
Roll back
| description |
***Registration through Eventbrite [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pdxwit-january-happy-hour-networking-event-tickets-40888648047] is required to avoid having to manually check-in at the event ***
Join us for happy hour at SurveyMonkey on January 23rd.
People often talk about creating a work culture that allows people to “bring their best self to work.” To start the conversation, we are asking “what is an important personal value you bring to work?” with an aim to allow us to explore our best selves.
While the event is primarily intended for networking, we will have a short segment at 5:30 to share important announcements and showcase three women in our community.
Introduction to SurveyMonkey, including what they do and what job opportunities are available.
Amy King, Senior Product Manager at Digimarc [https://www.digimarc.com/], will talk about picking the right approach to design for emerging vs. established technologies.
Madonnalisa Chan, Freelance Information Architect - Taxonomist, will talk about making values-based decisions in your career.
During the event, we’ll have more to do than free-form networking:
- We are celebrating our 6th anniversary (yes 6 years!) with a photo booth courtesy of The Snapbar [https://thesnapbar.com/]
- An Activity Table where people can get creative. This is a fantastic way to meet others if large groups are not your thing. If you have trouble finding it, look for
Meg Aul, our Event Activities Director.
- Table Topics to help break the ice.
- A section for job seekers and those hiring, to ensure people get connected.
Agenda:
4:30 p.m. - Doors open/Networking
5:30 p.m. - Introductions, Announcements + Lightning Speakers
6:30 p.m. - : Event ends

Purpose:
PDXWIT is a community-based non-profit organization. Our purpose is to strengthen the Portland women in tech community by offering educational programs, partnerships, mentorships, resources and opportunities. We are unifying a supportive environment for current and potential women in tech, all of whom are committed to helping each other. Our goal is to bring together and empower women in tech and to encourage others to pursue tech careers. This is our step towards reducing the gender imbalance in the industry and addressing the current negative effects of that imbalance on women.

The new year will be here before you know it! Let’s welcome 2018 with a meetup dedicated to science and STEM at one of the premier educational technology companies in the country right here in our backyard: Vernier Software & Technology.
We will have a seasonal “fireside chat” with Vernier’s founders, Christine and David Vernier as they speak to starting a successful business in our field and thriving for 37 years. You can develop hands-on awareness of the latest classroom science tools with product demos of their new “Go Direct” sensors and probes released in 2017.
Office tours (including a slide!) and networking are a given so bring your business cards (or something to write your info on) and plan your route to Beaverton. Looking forward to seeing you there! |

QuoteCenter, located in Vancouver, Washington, is a 139-person software startup within The Home Depot. QuoteCenter builds a portfolio of software applications using cutting-edge technology to facilitate building material sales to Pro contractors. Their team has grown dramatically from 70 people in October 2016 due to their proactive and intentional diversity recruiting efforts. These diverse people account for 40% of all new hires!
QuoteCenter is committed to building a diverse team, which they see as an important reason for their success and growth, from $0 in revenue at time of acquisition (2013) to $400M in 2015, $600M in 2016 and 2017.
Agenda:
5:00 - Welcome
5:15 - “How QuoteCenter attracts diverse candidates ” by Mike Lee, Talent Acquisition
5:45 - “The only one in the room: success and failure on the way to diversity" by Whitney Williams, Front End Developer

6:45 - Q & A
Event FAQ:
Q. What is the parking situation?
A. Paid street parking is available.
Q. Is there secure bike parking?
A. The secure bike parking is in the parking garage and requires a FOB for the building. However, there are racks in front of the building.
Q. Should I consider using public transportation?
A. We are close to the street and not far from bus routes. However, we would recommend driving and plenty of street parking is available.
Purpose:
PDXWIT is a community-based non-profit organization. Our purpose is to strengthen the Portland women in tech community by offering educational programs, partnerships, mentorships, resources and opportunities. We are unifying a supportive environment for current and potential women in tech, all of whom are committed to helping each other. Our goal is to bring together and empower women in tech and to encourage others to pursue tech careers. This is our step towards reducing the gender imbalance in the industry and addressing the current negative effects of that imbalance on women.
Our events are inclusive. ALL people who support our purpose are welcome.

A. The secure bike parking is in the parking garage and requires a FOB for the building. However, there are racks in front of the building.
Q. Should I consider using public transportation?
A. We are close to the street and not far from bus routes. However, we would recommend driving and plenty of street parking is available.
Purpose:
PDXWIT is a community-based non-profit organization. Our purpose is to strengthen the Portland women in tech community by offering educational programs, partnerships, mentorships, resources and opportunities. We are unifying a supportive environment for current and potential women in tech, all of whom are committed to helping each other. Our goal is to bring together and empower women in tech and to encourage others to pursue tech careers. This is our step towards reducing the gender imbalance in the industry and addressing the current negative effects of that imbalance on women.
Our events are inclusive. ALL people who support our purpose are welcome.

Emacs Monthly Meetup
Roll back
| description |
nil |

As the Ultimate Nerd Battle for Editor Anecdotal Mindshare (UNBEAM) closes in on forty years, the VI forces has taken over the Emacs Cathedral in Portland threatening the diocese. But during an intense battle of differing perspectives, a metallic ship emerges from space. Aliens beamed a message to the surface of the planet:
> _Nerdy Earthlings, can we call you Nerdlings? You need not fight anymore! The best editor is neither Emacs nor Vim, it’s Emacs and Vim. Combine your ideologies and merge your effort, and please end this useless conflict._
This month’s Emacs Meetup has been pre-empted for a full discussion about combining Emacs and VI using the Spacemacs system (see www.spacemacs.org). We are planning on three separate presentations:
1. Introduction to Spacemacs, and how to use it as either an Emacs or VI user.
2. Customizing Spacemacs using their Layer approach.
3. Vi-like Spacemacs features that neither Emacs nor VI offer, .e.g. a Lisp “modal” State for manipulating s-expressions using Paredit, and how this can be applied to other programming languages.
Hope to see you all there! |

Personal Telco Project Weekly Meeting with Municipal Fiber discussion
Roll back

This is our first Weekly Meeting of 2018. To get the new year off to
a running start, we are going to lead off the meeting with a
discussion about Municipal Fiber. I am always ready to talk about it,
but particularly so this time because the simmering pot of public
opinion had an extra jolt of fire over the holidays with the
retrograde FCC vote, voiding the Open Internet rules that the previous
Wheeler FCC had adopted, and has begun to boil over. A number of
scattered efforts have emerged trying to push a municipal internet
system (e.g. on Facebook and Reddit). I have invited a number of them
to our meeting. I also saw David Olson (BCC'd) this morning and
invited him to come along, which he suggested was a possibility,
although he has another engagement, so he'll need to leave after the
first hour.
And we have a smattering of other business on the agenda.
Should be fun! See you there! |

The What is Universe? (2018) conference-experience examines communication, complexity/simplicity, coherence/incoherence and, how they may or may not contribute to “a pluralistic universe.” This conference marks the third collaboration among scholars from the natural and social sciences, communication, media, law, design, and art.
Participants will explore universes—from reality bubbles, immersive virtual environments, and alternate histories, to agential realism, media genealogy and archaeology, to bio-inspired, urban and ecological design, to universal rights, disabilities studies, multicultural communities, networks, and cosmologies. With the definitions of “universe” continuing to multiply, important questions abound as we address a sweeping range of issues next April in Portland. |

The eighth annual What is…? conference-experience, What is Universe? examines communication, complexity/simplicity, coherence/incoherence and how they may or may not contribute to “a pluralistic universe”—networks of relationships. It addresses some of the most pressing issues of our time, including how do societies move forward when there is less shared agreement about the nature of our world, the problems confronting it, and/or the solutions necessary to improve it?
Scholars, practitioners, and other participants will explore universes—from reality bubbles, immersive virtual environments, and alternate histories, to agential realism, media genealogy and archaeology, to bio-inspired, urban and ecological design, to universal rights, disabilities studies, multicultural communities and cosmologies.

Portland Linux/Unix Group General Meeting Announcement
Who: Josh Berkus<br>
What: Fedora Atomic Host: Your Next Linux<br>
Stream: http://pdxlinux.org/live
Fedora Atomic Host: Your Next Linux
Our current model of RPM-and-config-management for Linux systems has
done well for us over the last decade and more, but is starting to show
its age. Come learn about Atomic Host, which is a new model for
managing software and maintenance for large clouds of hosts.
Josh Berkus of Red Hat will explain the Atomic Host "ostree" model for
binary updates, and how that ties in with container deployments of
applications. He will demo deploying and updating a cluster of Atomic
Hosts running OpenShift, and answer questions about this architecture.
He'll then speculate about what the future could hold, in the form of
modularity, Flatpaks, and more.
Many will head to the Lucky Lab at 1945 NW Quimby St. after the meeting.

Learn about Hybrid Cloud Data Architecture @ DAMAPDX
Roll back
| description |
nil |

As hybrid clouds become more prevalent, IT organizations struggle to deal with moving and managing data. While computation and applications can be outsourced, once data is generated, IT is on the hook to control it as long as it exists. Data governance and data security are particularly difficult to address in hybrid environments.
Parth Patel will discuss the importance of creating a standardized data fabric with a common data management platform that can tier access, providing hierarchical data lifecycle management for data lakes. Also included are a discussion of “in production” use cases of this tiered data lake approach for Hybrid “Ground to Cloud” environments across multiple industries.
Topics during this session include:
· Data governance
· Data security
· Hybrid “Cloud to Ground” architectures
· Metadata management
Join us at 8:30 for a continental breakfast and networking with other local data professionals. Parth's Hybrid Cloud Data Architecture presentation starts at 9 and goes to 11:30. Free parking available in the main Montgomery Park surface lot.
<h3>Speaker</h3>
Parth Patel is a Big Data Solutions Engineer at Zaloni. He has extensive experience in architecting analytics-ready next-generation data lakes incorporating on-premise or public cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) infrastructure to meet enterprise needs. Parth brings a wide range of experience with various big data technologies, data analytics tools, and mobile applications, leveraging previous experience in network solutions architecting for Orologic, and Vitesse, as well as a technology advisory role at Dunkin’ Brands for their retail technology platform.

This is how we knock back.

CHIFOO Event: Breaking The Veil Of Research

CHIFOO presents "What Happens When You Break The Veil Of Research?" with Nancy Frishberg, Senior UX Researcher & Coach!
In design education, there is no ethical code that all agree on. What about computer science or any of the other disciplines we may have been trained in? The discussions of ethics and the real-life experiences that followed have informed my understanding of universal access and ethical responsibilities of design. I'll challenge myself to make the connections between these two endeavors (interpreting and design research or human-computer interaction) clear for all.
About the Speaker
Nancy Frishberg (@nancyf) has had several careers. The one most familiar to CHIFOO audiences is her work in qualitative research with humans, usually about improving products and services that people use and pay for and the processes that get them to those interactions and purchases. She has worked in tech companies, financial services institutions, and as a consultant to both for-profit and non-profit organizations.

It's quick to set up and execute, and the participatory nature of the process generates buy-in and acceptance of the outcome. Lynn will walk you through the method and show you a few examples. We'll discuss some variations based on your setting and the type of decision you’re making, and then Lynn will field questions from the audience.

CHIFOO Event: Is Design Metrically Opposed?

| description |
CHIFOO presents "Is Design Metrically Opposed?" with Jared Spool, Center Centre & UIE!
The world of metrics and analytics have often been at odds with how designers work. Design is a process where we finely tune our intuition to create great user experiences. Yet, sometimes, what we think is best rivals the metrics. So which do we believe-our gut or the data?
In the world of measures, metrics, and Key Performance Indicators some practices, like the growth hacking approach to increasing Monthly Average Users (MAUs), have hurt the online experience of Instagram and LinkedIn. While alternatives to satisfaction and net promoter score give insight into the design process and help designers have better instincts.
If you’re ready to talk to your teams about what you really need, help management interpret the data, and create analytical experiments that provide design insights, don’t miss this talk.
About the Speaker
Jared Spool (@jmspool) is a co-founder of Center Centre and the founder of UIE.
While he led UIE, the industry research firm he started in 1988, the field of UX design emerged and Jared helped define what makes UX designers successful all over the world. UIE's world-class research organization produces conferences and workshops all over the world and for companies in every industry.
In 2016, with Dr. Leslie Jensen-Inman, he opened Center Centre, a new school in Chattanooga, TN to create the next generation of industry-ready UX Designers. They created a revolutionary approach to vocational training, infusing Jared's decades of UX experience with Leslie's mastery of experience-based learning methodologies.

CHIFOO presents "Ethics In The Age Of Artificial Intelligence" with Cennydd Bowles, Cennydd Ltd!
We mistakenly believe that technology is neutral; that inert objects cannot have moral characteristics. And so we make embarrassing blunders – racist chatbots, manipulative research, privacy violations – that undermine trust and harm those we should help.
This is a dangerous trajectory. We urgently need a deeper ethical dialogue about emerging technology, and interaction design's role within it. This session, informed by many months of ongoing research, will discuss:
-Why companies make poor ethical decisions,
-The development of ethical thinking in other morally-charged disciplines,
-Methods of engaging users in the ethics of emerging technology,
-Ways for designers to engage positively and affect ethical outcomes, so that design decisions benefit not only ourselves but our wider communities and the world at large.
About The Speaker
Cennydd Bowles' (@Cennydd) biography will be published shortly.
