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!

February Meetup - Introduction to R / Connecting Vineyards to the Internet
Roll back
| description |

<p>Our February meetup will have 2 components. Mary Anne Thygesen will provide an introduction to R. Additionally, Alan Campbell will share an interesting project he has been working on, involving monitoring soil data at vineyards in the north Willamette valley. See below for more information on both presentations.</p> <p>
<b>Introduction to R</b></p> <p><i>Presented by Mary Anne Thygesen: instructor, speaker and researcher</i></p> <p>Start the New Year with R. The January meetup will be for beginners. Bring your computer and a data set that you would like to work on. First we will get R loaded on your computer, up and running. Then we will work on getting data into R. Followed by a brief overview of what you can do with R. A list of resources including books, and online courses will be included. If possible, please try to install R on your laptop beforehand! (many simultaneous downloads may congest our host's WiFi).</p> <p>
<b>Connecting Vineyards to the Internet</b></p> <p><i>Presented by Alan Campbell: plant physiologist working as a consultant in the Oregon vineyard industry.</i></p> <p><br>This past year, Alan installed 54 soil tension sensors in the root zone of grapevines in 18 locations in 6 vineyards in the north Willamette Valley. The soil sensors, and additional air temperature and humidity sensors, were monitored through a wireless data network, with readings uploaded every 15 minutes to an online database. At the end of this season, there are over 10,000 data points from each of 90 sensors, or nearly one million data points in all. Talk will give an overview of what was done, the structure of the data, and of the kinds of questions that time series analysis (etc) with R might answer. Alan is interested in analyzing temporal correlations in last year's data, and preparing for the analysis of similar data in greater volume in the years ahead.</p> |

Join us at the 13th Beaver BarCamp hosted by the OSU Open Source Lab. Beaver BarCamp is an informal conference where everyone is encouraged to participate and the sessions are not predetermined. It provides a collaborative environment that promotes the sharing of ideas and projects and is a fun, casual event filled with discussions, demos and interaction with attendees. One of the best aspects of BarCamp is that attendees both provide the sessions and choose the schedule, allowing for greater flexibility and freedom.
What kind of sessions happen at Beaver BarCamp? All kinds--from the recreational to the technical. While many are tech oriented, we encourage any DIY, educational or interactive session. Most sessions are 60 minutes, but 30 minute sessions are also available. |

Come hang out, drink beer, and write code *every* Monday night.

Oregon Founders Study - Findings
Roll back

Here's a great opportunity to learn from other startups.
PSU professor Charla Mathwick received feedback from more than 150 founders in the 2013 Oregon Founders Study. She has synthesized the results down to four distinct strategies reflected in the sample from the study across a range of 9 potential value proposition strategies. The results provide guidance regarding how to evaluate where a particular firm falls and what a founder might consider doing to strengthen his or her value proposition.
Charla would like to summarize these findings and get some direct founder feedback. The discussion will be relevant to any founder -- regardless of whether they participated in the study.
When: Feb. 20, 2014, 10am-11am
Where: OTBC, 8305 SW Creekside Pl, Beaverton, OR, 97008

Building Highly Engaged Technical Teams
Roll back
| description |
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

Nerd Nite Vancouver #1 – The Neuroscience of Pleasure and Love
Roll back

We have a new location in Vancouver, WA! Our first event is:
Nerd Nite Vancouver #1 – Lust, Chocolate and Prairie Voles: The Neuroscience of Pleasure and Love
Nerd Nite is a monthly event that strives for an inebriated, salacious, yet deeply academic vibe. We aim to entertain, educate, elucidate, enlighten, and other things that start with “e.” Be there and be square!
When: Wednesday, February 12, 2014, doors at 6:00pm, event at 7:00pm
Where: Kiggins Theater, 1011 Main Street, Vancouver, WA
Cost: $8.00 suggested cover at the door
Come early if you want to order food and drinks and get a good seat!
Is the brain chemistry behind our love for chocolate equivalent to that which drives infatuation with a new lover, the love of a particular song, or addiction? How does the brain sort out pleasure and discomfort? What drives our decisions to stay with one person for life or go from one lover to another, never settling down? This Nerd Nite will focus on these and other questions that reveal much about how neurochemical changes can have major effects on our behaviors—how we love, what we love, and who we love.
Dr. Larry Sherman is a Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology and Neuroscience at OHSU. He was identified as someone who is "Changing our World" by Portland Monthly Magazine and the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, and he was awarded OHSU Teacher of the Year in 2012.

*A note on the suggested cover: Nerd Nite is completely supported by money collected at the door. We are committed to offering education opportunities to adults who want to learn, so if $8 is a hardship for you, please come anyway and donate what you can. |

Nerd Nite Portland #12 – Then and Now: The Transformation of Portland Landscapes
Roll back
| description |
nil |

Nerd Nite is a monthly event that strives for an inebriated, salacious, yet deeply academic vibe. We aim to entertain, educate, elucidate, enlighten, and other things that start with “e.” Be there and be square.
When: Tuesday, February 4, 2014, doors at 6:00pm, event at 7:00pm
Where: Mission Theater, 1624 NW Glisan, Portland
Cost: $8.00* suggested cover at the door
This Nerd Nite will feature two excellent talks:
The Willamette River: A History of Sediment and Change
The Willamette River is one of the most important geological features of this area. With no river, no port. And with no port, no Portland. The river has undergone huge changes since the arrival of settlers and cities. Yet throughout the taming the river by building sea walls, the dredging and channeling to facilitate shipping, and the 100+ years of dumping toxins and waste, the Willamette is still a living river with birds and fish and people who dependent on it. Keith Johnson, Manager of the DEQ Northwest Region Cleanup Program, and Kevin Parrett, NWR Cleanup Section Manager at the DEQ, will give us a visual history of the Willamette and how the river and the city have changed each other.
The Subsurface History of Portland
People have been moving the earth around in the Portland Metro area to suit our needs since the earliest days of urban habitation, and this history of cutting and filling impacts many aspects of living and working in the city. Engineer Stuart Albright from Apex Companies will present historic maps and photos of Portland that he uses to evaluate the location and extent of the earthwork and landfilling that has shaped this area. He will also share the history of the locations of some of the largest historic fills, such as Asylum Creek, Guilds Lake, Tanner Creek, and Marquam Gulch, and how those landscapes affect us today.
