PDXCloud December Gathering

Hey everyone, welcome to 2014! For the first meeting of the year, I thought we could have an open discussion.
Let’s see if we can put together a list of tools and tips targeted to companies and organizations just getting started with cloud technology. The end goal would be to create a community-written how-to resource that we could post to pdxcloud.com.
Tools:
* Cloud Service Providers
* Configuration Management Systems
* Monitoring/Alerting
* Centralized Logging
* Cost Management
* Code/Deployment Management
Tips:
* Security
* Development in Cloud
* Eventual Consistency
* Design for Failure
* Distributed Systems
* Backup and Disaster Recovery Planning
If you have more categories to add to the list, please bring them to the meeting. If you have a tool or technique you’d like to demonstrate or present on (formally or informally), that would be fantastic. And most importantly, if you can identify gaps in your cloud technology knowledge or implementation that you’d like to delve into as part of this discussion, definitely plan to share those points.
As always, there will be pizza and refreshments. Doors open at 6:30pm, meeting starts at 7pm. Looking forward to seeing you all on Wednesday! |

Interested in contributing to Puppet? Want to come hang out with fun people and do geeky things all day? Come to our Triage-A-Thon on Saturday, January 11th! You can participate virtually from anywhere in the world, or join us in person in our office in Portland, OR.
Our goal is to review all the open tickets in several of our projects to:
- Update and confirm that issues are still relevant
- Ensure tickets are in the right status and all the right information is present to fix the problem
- Close any invalid or no longer relevant tickets
We’ll assign blocks of tickets to every participant, explain what you need to do, and provide people on the ground to answer questions and help you make decisions. If you want a few more details about how you can help, you should read about the process we use to triage bugs: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/community/puppet_projects_workflow.html
**If you want a t-shirt, you MUST register and you must provide a shipping address and phone number (for international shipping). Thanks!**
If you live in Portland, Oregon: Join us in person at our office in the Pearl! We'll provide breakfast, coffee, a delicious lunch, snacks and space in our office. Please bring a laptop computer with you. You're welcome to drop in at any point - we're starting at 7am online to include those in other time zones, but we don't expect to see you that early :)
The first 200 people who help for at least 2 hours will be sent a special edition Puppet Triage-a-Thon t-shirt, and we'll have additional prizes for top participants!

PDXScala Monthly Meeting
Roll back

Come join other Scala fans, whether you're a seasoned oldtimer or complete beginner. We'll have open discussions and a variety of presentations and examples. If you have topics you're interested in hearing more about or something you'd like to give a presentation on, please let us know! Also, feel free to bring code you'd like to show off or get input on from the rest of the group!
As we've been doing for some months now, the first hour of tonight's meeting will be oriented towards people who are new to Scala. If you have questions you'd like to ask about general usage, specific libraries, or overall understanding of the ecosystem, we'll be here to help you find your way. For everyone else, we'll have plenty of extra time tonight for any other discussions and topics, so if you have something you'd like to talk about or code you'd like to show, come prepared! We'll have pizza here at 6, so come early if you're hungry.
We look forward to seeing you all there! |

Also, feel free to bring code you would like to show off or get input on from the rest of the group!
This month, Susan Potter will be joining us to give a couple of motivating examples of Scalaz usage showing how thinking more functionally can yield less complex code. More details on other talks and possible discussion topics will be coming shortly. If you have a topic you would like to discuss or present on, let us know on the mailing list (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pdxscala) or ping @tlockney on Twitter!
Finally, as usual, the first hour of this meeting will be oriented towards people who are relatively new to Scala. If you have questions you would like to ask about general usage, specific libraries, or overall understanding of the ecosystem, we will be here to help you find your way. For everyone else, we will have plenty of extra time tonight for any other discussions and topics. Pizza will be here at 6, so come early if you are hungry.

</ul><h2>What is it?</h2>
This is the Techno-Activism 3rd Monday event for Portland, Oregon! Read more about <a href="http://wiki.openitp.org/events:techno-activism_3rd_mondays">techno-activism 3rd mondays</a>.
<h2> Who should come? </h2>
Anyone interested in techno-activism. We invite coders, geeks, artists, and anyone else. No technical experience required.

Flux has generously offered to host this month's meetup. Be sure to read their code of conduct (below) before coming to the event. This will ensure that everyone has a great, safe time. The Privly Foundation will organize this and future TA3M Portland events. There will be light refreshments provided.
<h2>Flux's Code of Conduct</h2>
1. We are present, awake, and sober.
2. We listen non-judgmentally to ourselves and to everyone else.
3. We make mistakes: everything that happens in this space is part of a learning experience.
4. We speak only out of and about our personal experience and understanding.
5. When faced with a choice between being curious and being defensive, we choose to be curious.
6. We clean up after ourselves.
7. We make things here and consume things elsewhere.
8. We spend some of our free time here, not most or all of it.
9. We treat one another as the other would like to be treated. If we don’t know how, we ask.
10. We respect each others’ personal space and possessions. Specifically, we check in before touching someone or their belongings.
11. We respect each others’ consent and boundaries. Yes means yes, no means no, maybe means no, and silence is not consent. We accept “no”s without arguing, and say “yes” when we mean yes.
12. We respect chosen names, pronouns, and genders. If we don’t know how, we ask.
13. We act from an assumption of mutual respect and good will. We clarify misunderstandings and apologize for harm caused. We assume ignorance and not malice.
14. We watch out for each other to maintain a respectful and safe community. If we don’t know how, we ask.
15.When people’s conduct falls short of these agreements, we speak with them one-on-one. If matters don’t improve, we address the issue in a small group. If matters still don’t improve after three discussions, we might ask you to leave the space. As a last resort, we may vote to dissolve your membership.

The Big Float 4

The Big Float IV will take place on the afternoon of Sunday, July 27, 2014 on the Willamette River in downtown Portland. The goal, quite simply, is to encourage people to “get into the river” and support its preservation and healthy development as a recreational resource. And to have a whale of a good time in the process.
Open to all ages, the event begins with, naturally, a parade. Floaters gather at Tom McCall Bowl (where the Blues Festival is held), then carry or wear their floatation devices and march south along Waterfront Park to the put-in point at the beach area beneath the Marquam Bridge.
Floaters will paddle down river and land on the west bank at the Tom McCall Bowl. Here, Portland's downtown beach party will be held - complete with music barge and 2 live bands, food carts, sponsor booths, and a kids' area where the Grand Ronde Tribes will present Native American crafts.
This newly created beach area, open for public swimming, was formed by TBF volunteers as part of the Human Access Project. |

<p><strong>Who:</strong> </p>
<p>PDX Digital PM is Portland's inaugural monthly meetup for Digital PMs and producers. If that's you and you'd like to attend, please RSVP at Eventbrite:

<p>For our inaugural event, the theme is "Defining Digital PM - The People and the Role." The agenda is as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Introductions and ground rules</li>
<li>A quick recap of profile survey results</li>
<li>A panel discussion on "the people and the role"</li>
<li>Wrap-up and networking</li>
<p></p>
</ul><strong>When:</strong>
<p>January 14, 2014 from 6-7PM! Show up between 5:30PM and 6:00PM to mingle and get settled. There will be time to network following the event as well.</p>
<p><strong>Where:</strong></p>

<p>Portland's digital project management and production community is underserved when it comes to sharing knowledge and raising the status of the role industry-wide. Project management for the web is still in its infancy, piecing together elements of agency production, software project management, and digital strategy in a diverse role that requires a great degree of smarts and skill. Let's get together to share our stories and experiences in an effort to all be better project managers.</p>

AgilePDX Westside: Agile Advocacy
Roll back
| description |
nil |

Adopting, improving, and scaling agile practices often calls for building a broader understanding outside of the development team(s), particularly in organizations where other approaches are well accepted. Agile advocacy covers a range of activity that can be used to help facilitate organizational change and support agile as a means to deliver value.
How can we increase support and facilitate effective engagement with agile development? What models are there for effective advocacy and what are some common pitfalls? When and how do we engage with organizational leadership and other stakeholders? Is this always necessary – and are there times when advocacy is not the right approach? And what about advocacy within the technical part of our organizations – when is this needed or warranted?
This topic will be handled as a group discussion supported by presentation notes to encourage thinking and dialogue. Attendees are encouraged to bring examples or questions from their own experience and to think about scenarios where advocacy is effective.
Jim Ure will serve as facilitator for this discussion. Jim has a diverse background in IT leadership and project management and has served in roles in three organizations where he made the decision to adopt agile practices. His real world experience reflects circumstances where agile advocacy was both effective and times where advocacy encountered unanticipated challenges. “I am one who was strongly attracted to the agile approach and believe that it can be utilized in powerful ways to help organizations create and add value. But I have also learned (sometimes the hard way!) that implementing good agile practices can be difficult. It takes planning, commitment, and a keen awareness of situational factors and people.” |

Portland 3D Printing Lab

What if I told you that you could print objects the same way you can print graphics on paper? It's now possible, with a technology called additive manufacturing, or 3D Printing! There are many applications for 3D printing including ideation/prototyping, creating finished goods (jewelry), and customizing traditional manufacturing processes. This technology has recently become cheap and easy enough to use at home. It's poised to disrupt the way we design, build, make, and distribute products. The big players in 3D printing are in Europe and the East Coast, but Portland has a burgeoning community of users and enthusiasts pushing the boundaries of what can be done with 3D printing.
Portland 3D Printing Lab is a group for anyone interested in learning about 3D printing and related topics such as 3D modeling, prototyping, and creating this technology. We meet third week of every month to discuss the industry, our projects, and ways we can collaborate. Join us - we look forward to seeing you there! |

Building Highly Engaged Technical Teams
Roll back

The DAMA Portland Chapter is dedicated to delivering thought provoking data-centric presentations that will make you more successful in your job. Coming this month on 21Jan, the DAMA Portland Chapter will be hosting Paul Spencer on the topic of ‘Building Highly Engaged Technical Teams’ at Cambia Health Solutions in downtown Portland.
Register at: http://www.damapdx.org/
<b>Summary</b><br>
Technical team leaders are often highly trained in their chosen field. But they're also often not trained in how to lead a team. They know that leadership is just as important as the technical side of the job (if not more so), but they've been left to figure out how to do it for themselves. They're frustrated because they haven't got the toolkit they need to get the best out of their team.
To build a truly exceptional technical team, you need to do three things: engage them, enable them, and energize them. In this interactive presentation, we’ll cover the following topics:
· The benefits of having a highly engaged team
· How to engage, enable, and energize your project team
· Aligning the team on communication styles and workplace values
· Empowering the team through servant leadership
· Creating and sustaining a culture of high performance
· Building performance drivers into the daily experience
· Simple techniques for maintaining momentum

Portland Ruby Brigade monthly meeting
Roll back
| description |
<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!
</em> |
→ |
PRE-MEETING DINNER at 6pm
We'll have pizza, so stop by early if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations.
PRESENTATIONS at 7pm
BEER & SNACKS at 9pm
After presentations we'll have more socializing time with beer & snacks.
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 28th 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 28th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking.
Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month!

Portland Perl Mongers - Module Interface/API design
Roll back

Module Interface/API design
Speaker: Chad 'Exodist' Granum
Most developers create a module when they want to solve a problem. Most focus goes into the inner-workings of the module. Interface often takes a backseat and is addressed as an afterthought. This approach to interface design leads to horrible headaches.
For Part 1 Chad will be introducing several module interface paradigms. This includes a brief review of OO, as well as simple exporters and declarative builders. Examples from common CPAN modules will be given.
For Part 2 chad will take attendees through an exercise in designing an API for an example module that is actually useful (and not simply a toy for the example). We will weigh the pros and cons of different interface possibilities as well as show a complete implementation.
As always, the meeting will be followed by social hour at the Lucky Lab Brew Pub.
