Please join us on January 20th at Jama South for a discussion of *Vagrant 101* with Jama's own Rich Howard.
A seasoned veteran of devops, Rich will lead an introduction into the magical realm of Vagrant including networking, multi-VM setup and provisioning. I look forward to seeing everyone there!
Vagrant is free and open-source software for creating and configuring virtual development environments. Although it started as a wrapper around VirtualBox with configuration management integration with Chef and Puppet, later versions have come to support AWS and VMWare as well as various means of provisioning and configuring the boxes including Ansible and Salt.
*Many thanks to Jama for hosting the event!*
ABOUT THE GROUP: pdxdevops is a Portland, Oregon user group that explores the glorious intersection of software development and systems operations, and shares practical advice on working effectively in an era of agile infrastructure, server automation and cloud computing. Meetings are usually on the third Monday of the month. Website: http://pdxdevops.org/ Twitter: @pdxdevops |

The Basics of Startup Law
Roll back
| description |

In the start-up world, legal issues are frequently identified but practical solutions are hard to come by. However, with a little bit of knowledge better decisions can be made early and there are more ways to succeed and fewer ways to fail.
There are many “checklists” for startup legal but most importantly a company must identify:
1) Ownership among founders / employees / investors
2) Entity selection
3) IP protection
4) Employee / Independent Contractor relationships
5) Tax planning
6) What to do when things go wrong
This month Leigh Gill of Immix Law will join YESpdx to present on the fundamentals of start-up law. Leigh started his career in finance and then spent a decade in software development before becoming an attorney. For more information on Leigh, visit www.immixlawgroup.com
As usual, there will be beer and snacks! Event co-sponsored by NedSpace and the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network (OEN). |

## Rise of the Indie Web ##
What happens when an online service you use freezes your account, loses your data, or goes out of business? Have you ever used a service by a company that suddenly went under, stranding your data? What happened to the Internet in 2003?Do you own your own identity or do you sharecrop? Who owns your data and why? Case will talk about data ownership, identity and the Indie Web, a movement that is taking back ownership of one's own identity and data instead of sharecropping on 3rd party websites.
This is the 3rd event in a series of free monthly FutureTalks from disruptive Developers, innovative Technologists and world-changing Creatives. Doors open at 5:30p for food and drinks, and the presentation will begin right at 6p.
Please RSVP via Eventbrite [HERE](http://bit.ly/1a1MpuT)

Scrum is simple, but Scrum is Hard. Scrum is so simple that it can be explained in 20 minutes, but so hard that some teams are never effective. Yet other teams produce 3-10 times more business value than they did before. This talk will go into one of the main differences between under performing teams and very successful teams, the impact of Code Quality on the effectiveness of a Scrum team. You will learn about the business case for high quality code, establishing the business commitment to high quality code and the process and organization should use to make code quality an enabler rather than a restrainer of the delivery of business value. |

Some of the core contributors, developers and implementers of OpenStack are flying over to Portland to bring you the latest and greatest in Cloud storage. And generous sponsors are buying us dinner and beer. This meetup is quickly growing to be one of the most interesting events in the Northwest for those wanting to stay on top of advancement in the future of computing.
<h3>Meetup Agenda</h3>
<br><b>6:00 - 6:30</b> - Check in, pizza, beer and networking.
<br><br><b>6:30 - 7:00</b> – Introduction, OpenStack and your career - Al Kari (<a href="http://www.detacloud.com">DetaCloud</a>)
Accelerate your career and increase your value to your current or potential employers. Learn about shortcuts to quickly acquire some of the hottest skills in Cloud computing.
<br><b>7:00 - 7:45</b> - OpenStack Block Storage (Cinder) - Mike Perez (<b>DreamHost</b>)
Today there are many different storage solutions to choose from. It can be overwhelming from a cloud provider's perspective to offer many options for their users, let alone provide a consistent set of tools with each vendor offering their own interface.
The OpenStack Block Storage project Cinder provides an API to talk to many different vendor solutions, in which other applications or OpenStack programs can talk to.
We'll first examine the difference between block and object storage. That'll lead us into having an introduction to Cinder, and an opportunity to review the architecture, vendor driver plugin model, current features, and upcoming features for the IceHouse release.
<br><b>7:45 - 8:15</b> - OpenStack Object Storage (Swift) - Richard Raseley (for <b>SwiftStack</b>)
This presentation will provide an overview of the OpenStack object storage platform "Swift", its history, contributors, example use cases, and features
<br><b>8:15 - 8:45</b> - EMC and OpenStack - Jeremy Keen - (<b>EMC</b>)
As a Corporate Sponsor of OpenStack, EMC has contributed Cinder drivers for VNX, VMAX, and most recently ViPR. EMC ViPR is a lightweight, software-only solution that transforms your existing storage environment into a simple, extensible and open platform, that can deliver fully automated storage services and realize the full potential of the Software-Defined Data Center. ViPR includes an open source Cinder driver as well as an object storage engine with Swift and Amazon S3 APIs. We will dive into the integration of ViPR and OpenStack and learn about methods for delivering IT-as-a-Service while avoiding storage vendor lock-in.
<br><b>8:45 - 9:00</b> – OPEN MIKE (YOU)
Working on an interesting project, or have an idea to share with the group? Maybe you have a question or an announcement to make. Here’s your chance.
<h3>About the speakers:</h3>
<br><b>Al Kari</b> - After 6 years of leading Cloud Computing services at Dell, Al Co-Founded DetaCloud to advocate for building the future of Open Cloud. He is a standing member in the Cloud Advisory Council, the Linux Professional Institute and the OpenStack Foundation
<br><b>Mike Perez</b> is a Core developer of the OpenStack Block Storage project Cinder and Senior Software Engineer at DreamHost. His primary responsibilities are contributing Cinder, and managing the storage needs of DreamHost's public cloud DreamCompute. He has written v2 of Cinder's API, and is currently working on v3
<br><b>Richard Raseley</b> is an Infrastructure and Tooling Engineer at Puppet Labs and a standing member of the OpenStack Foundation. Prior to joining Puppet, Richard worked as a Systems Engineer with Concur Technologies, where h deploy a near petabyte-scale distributed object store based upon OpenStack Swift
<br><b>Jeremy Keen</b> over the last 3 years at EMC as a Systems Engineer, Jeremy has designed hybrid and private cloud solutions for businesses in the Pacific Northwest. He now specializes in software-defined-storage at EMC including the recently launched ViPR an open, extensible software-only solution that includes deep integration with OpenStack Cinder and Swift.

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! |

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
| description |
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.

<h2>What should I bring?</h2>
<ul>
<li>A willingness to learn or to teach</li>

</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.
<h2>Who's hosting?</h2>
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>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>We'll be meeting in the community room at ISITE Design. Beverages and snacks will also be provided thanks to host sponsor ISITE Design!</p>
<p><strong>Why: </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
<b>Schedule</b><br>
8:30 - 9:00 am - Sign In / Refreshments<br>
9:00 - 10:15 am - Presentation <br>
10:15 - 10:30 am - Break, Chapter Announcements <br>
10:30 - 11:30 am - Presentation continued <br>
Free for members! <br>
$15 for guests <br>
See web site for the list of our corporate members
Note: We have received feedback that registering on the DAMA site is not as easy as it could be, given the need to create an account on the site. Alternative: If you encounter difficulties registering on the site, it is sufficient to send an email to [email protected]. |
