A Spark Weekend is your opportunity to upgrade your life in a fun, friendly environment. No fluff and no hard sales; just great people and lots of time for action.
- <strong>Day 1</strong> is about learning. Our speakers share their favorite lifestyle change strategies, techniques, apps, and devices in 20 minute sessions.
- <strong>Day 2</strong> is about doing. Our team coaches you to implement what you learned the day before. You come back with your laptop and planner and directly work on your goals.
- <strong>Day 3</strong> is about winning. You get a token sum of cash back if you reach your goals; more if you put your own money on the line.
And in the spirit of open science we <a href="http://www.selfspark.com/science/data/">publish our results</a> in helping you change.
Remember, a Spark Weekend ticket makes a powerful gift for your friends, family, and colleagues! But not for people you don't like--don't give them any advantage in 2014.
As an added bonus, ~10% of every ticket sold goes to a community fund for those who cannot otherwise afford to attend.
Make your resolutions stick this year. Spark the New Year off right. |

Join TiE Pearl Pitch Club, a series of sessions where you can practice your pitching skills.
In this edition, Vanessa Van Edwards, author and behavorioral investigator, will present a talk on body language and non-verbal communications for entrepreneurs, after which she will hear pitches, and help you work on yours.
TiE Pearl Pitch Club is designed as a supportive environment in which to try out your presentation - in front of a group of peers, including established entrepreneurs, and others just getting their start.
Bring your pitches, with or without slides (bring your laptop to plug into the A/V system), and walk away with valuable feedback and coaching. Or come to see others pitch, and provide feedback to and/or learn from others.
Following the Pitch Club session we will offer drinks and refreshments at the TiE Pearl Incubator, while we discuss feedback and mingle. |

Are you working on a challenging problem? Could you benefit from the experience or insight of your peers in other organizations? Do you have something you’d like to discuss or a question you’d like answered? Would you like to help others meet professional challenges? If so, the Innovation Exchange is for you.
After introducing ourselves and enjoying light refreshments, we will follow the Lean Coffee format. We will break into small groups. As a group member, you will propose topics or questions for discussion, and then get to vote for your favorites. Your group will then discuss each of its subjects as time permits, beginning with its most popular selections. You will get fresh perspectives on what concerns you, and you will meet fellow architects with similar interests.
We will be meeting on February 11th from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. in the Mongolia Room at the Broadway Coffeehouse in Salem, OR. We will get to know each other and have light snacks from 4:30 - 5:00 p.m. and conduct the Lean Coffee discussions from 5:00 - 6:00 p.m., leaving the final half hour for follow-up conversations. |

Startup Weekend focused on making entrepreneurship more accessible to everyone. Our mission is to create an environment where anyone can innovate together. We're focusing on accessibility to provide better access for people with disabilities and fluid collaboration amongst every participant. An appropriate accessible environment with the necessary auxiliary aids support services will be provided!
Startup Weekend’s a 54-hour event where aspiring entrepreneurs, developers, designers, marketers, product managers, and entrepreneurs of all abilities come together to share startup ideas, form teams, build products, and launch startups. Essentially, it’s a crash course in entrepreneurship that lets you experience what it’s really like to build and launch a startup.
Whether you have an idea for a new mobile app that will make your life easier or just want to learn more about entrepreneurship, we encourage you to attend.
Why? The statistics are clear, people with disabilities are not only less likely to be employed, but also less likely to pursue entrepreneurship. We hope that Startup Weekend Access will ignite your entrepreneurial spark!

AgilePDX Westside: Introduction to the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
Being an agile organization was always the goal (right?). The idea of "business agility" is certainly older than agile software development and many of us have struggled with the pain of an agile development team in an organization that doesn't understand how we work. Finding ways to scale agility from development to the rest of the organization has been a bit of a rocky road so far. Many development teams use Scrum and I'm not sure that's a good fit for some business areas -- I for one wouldn't want HR time-boxing the hiring of a new developer, delivering the best one they could find in 2 weeks. So just scaling what development does to a larger, different audience isn't the answer.
The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) provides, er, a framework for how the larger organization can operate more effectively together. Rather than provide new ways of working, it synthesizes important aspects of Scrum, XP, Lean, Product Development Flow and other agile notions into a sensible fabric for organizational effectiveness, optimizing the whole. The list of companies finding value in SAFe continues to grow.
In something under an hour, I plan to deliver enough information about SAFe that you can have a reasonable elevator conversation about it and leave with an understanding of how much more you want to learn (and where to go find that information). Even if you don't work for a large organization with multiple levels of program and portfolio management, the concepts SAFe is built on and how they interact should spark ideas for how you can grow agile ways of working within your own environment.
Bio: After deciding against a career in journalism halfway through college, Millard Ellingsworth has been developing software ever since. He currently works for IBM and was part of a small team of facilitators that led IBM Software Group's agile transformation efforts, training many teams, serving them as an agile coach and working as a scrum master within his own development organization. He has presented on agile topics at internal and external IBM conferences and has written a variety of articles for IBM developerWorks where he is a contributing author and a member of the steering committee. You can follow him on Twitter as @millard3 (https://twitter.com/millard3) and on Google+ (https://plus.google.com/u/0/+MillardEllingsworth). He happily accepts invitations to play golf and talk tech.

Sprint time: 10am until 6pm, both Saturday, January 25 and Sunday, January 26
If you're like some Drupal developers or site builders, you've been telling yourself for months that you should start contributing to Drupal core. This sprint is your chance to get started with in-person training and mentoring from friendly, experienced core contributors. It's also a great way to start becoming familiar with Drupal 8.
If you've already started to work on core, come meet other contributors, hang out in person, and work on manageable tasks in the Drupal core queue. The goal is to help you help with core. |

ISSA February Luncheon meeting

Presentation:
Pitfalls of Web Session Management
Login session management in modern web applications is largely applications dominated by use of HTTP cookies. However, HTTP cookies were never designed for secure applications, which has led to a significant number of protocol security problems. In this talk, the speaker will start with a brief background on why HTTP cookies are a poorly-conceived mechanism to begin with, and continue with a discussion of how this impacts security. He will describe several lesser-known cookie-based session management problems that remain wide spread and allow for session hijacking through a variety of clever attacks.
Who:
Tim D. Morgan
Principal Security Consultant - Sentinel Chicken Networks
As an application security consultant and vulnerability researcher, Tim has been taking deep technical dives in security for over a decade. In that time, he has been credited with the discovery and responsible disclosure of numerous security vulnerabilities in a variety of software products, including: IBM Tivoli Access Manager, Sun Java Runtime Environment, Google Chrome Web Browser, OpenOffice, Oracle WebLogic Application Server, and IBM Websphere Commerce. His current research interests include applied cryptanalysis, IPv6 security and XML external entities attacks. Tim develops and maintains several open source forensics tools in addition to Bletchley, an application cryptanalysis toolkit.
Tim works to secure his customers' environments through black box testing, code reviews, social engineering evaluations, security training and a variety of other services. Tim earned his computer science degrees from Harvey Mudd College and Northeastern University and currently resides in Portland Oregon where he leads the local OWASP chapter
Cost:

Parking:

We're making a possibly-viral video about a hoax geo tech product: a coffee service that delivers to people while they're sitting on the bus.
We're looking for a few extras for a shoot in inner SE midday Saturday, Feb. 1 - maybe speaking, maybe not. Want to participate? Let us know: [email protected]! Improv skills a plus.
This is part of the Hygge Project, a fun little volunteer effort to encourage people to imagine the ways we'll move around Portland (and therefore other cities) in the future. |

Agile PDX Evening: The Role of QA in Scrum - Leveraging Agile for Defect Prevention
Roll back
| description |
The key to a successful adoption of any software development methodology is a clear understanding of the roles and responsibilities of each team member within that framework. As Agile continues its rapid adoption in organizations across the globe, it’s essential to define the role of QA in Scrum as concretely as we’ve defined the other Scrum Team roles.
During our team’s recent Agile transition, I was approached from all corners of the organization, with questions like, “What does QA do every day in the sprint? What are their responsibilities beyond testing and reporting defects? What should they do in the early part of the sprint, when there’s no software to test yet?” Despite being a recent “graduate” of several Agile methodology courses, I found myself ill-equipped to answer these questions. There isn’t much information in the trainings or on the web about the role of QA in the Scrum team. What little I have found is primarily anecdotal, rarely specific, and never comprehensive. While Product Owner and Scrum Master roles are very well defined, QA Engineers fall under the generic label, “Team Member." We were on our own to define the role of QA.
What we quickly learned delighted us: Agile methodology, with its fundamental shift away from waterfall software development, gives QA an opportunity for broader and deeper involvement in the overall software development lifecycle. This enables us better to ensure quality — not by finding and reporting defects — but by preventing the introduction of defects in the first place.
This talk provides a deep dive into the specific, day to day role of QA in Scrum, as our team developed it through the course of a yearlong transition to Agile. You will learn specific responsibilities and activities you can bring to your teams to transcend the traditional test-and-report, after-the-fact approach to quality assurance. And you will learn to leverage the unique components of Agile to significantly expand your scope of influence, and measurably improve the quality of your software.
Speaker : Karen Ascheim Wysopal is a Section Manager in Software Quality at Hewlett-Packard. She currently leads the Quality Assurance program for HPConnected.com, ePrintcenter.com, and related HP web-connected printer technologies. With over 20 years in the software QA industry, Karen’s professional passions are building high functioning innovative QA teams from the ground up, defining new processes, and expanding QA focus on the user experience. She can’t seem to stop breaking software. |

The key to successful adoption of any development methodology is a clear understanding of the roles and responsibilities of each team member within that framework. As agile continues its rapid adoption, it’s essential to define the role of QA in Scrum as concretely as we’ve defined the other team roles.
Agile methodology gives QA an opportunity for broader and deeper involvement in the software development lifecycle, enabling us more effectively to ensure quality, not by finding defects, but by preventing the introduction of defects in the first place. Because quality starts with the user story, QA can drive defect prevention by asking key questions of product owners during requirements definition. We can ensure that comprehensive acceptance criteria are in place, to drive high quality development, testing, and story acceptance. We can also ask technical questions of developers. This results in more thoroughly defined user stories and prompts developers to consider additional issues, and avoid pitfalls in advance of implementation. Finally, to prevent the steady growth of technical debt, we must remind scrum masters to plan story points for fixing both known and unknown defects as part of every sprint. This presentation will teach you how to leverage Agile within your organization to see immediate improvements in the quality of your software delivery.
About the speaker...
Karen Ascheim Wysopal has been in software QA for over 20 years, in roles including tester, release manager, software engineer, test automation engineer, and 8 years as QA manager. She’s spent the past five years at Hewlett Packard, and currently heads Quality & PMO in the Software and Web Services organization, overseeing HPConnected.com, ePrintcenter.com, and related HP web-connected print technologies. She was a leader in the organization’s transition to Agile last year. Karen has presented at the Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference. Her professional passions are building high functioning innovative teams from the ground up, defining processes that encompass a holistic approach to quality, and speaking on best practices to foster improvements across the industry. She can’t seem to stop breaking software. |
