## Stalking the Lost Write: Memory Visibility in Concurrent Java
Throughout its 18-year evolution, the Java language has played an industry-leading role in the tricky business of specifying the behavior of concurrent programs. Java's contribution became particularly evident with the introduction of the Java Memory Model (JMM) in Java 1.5.
This is an area in which a down-to-the-metal understanding can help developers strike the right balance between safety and performance, so we'll start by motivating the discussion with counterintuitive low-level examples. Then we'll work "up from the weeds" to describe the JMM as a basis for more familiar programming patterns. We'll touch on how C, C++, and C# deal with the same issues and give a nod to functional languages and Java 8.
This material can help most developers become more insightful about concurrency issues in their code. Be there or be unsynchronized! |

Monthly presentation night!
This set of talks will be a great way to cap off our first year of PDXNode:
* Jen(@ednapiranha) A Mozillan and co-creator of meatspac.es, will be sharing about the awesome new WebRTC chat fun taking over our cameras and free time.
* Wraithan Our resident IRC champion, will be running a tutorial on IRC bots: "from installing libraries to connecting to a channel to reacting to what someone said".
* Newb at Everything @edrex will demo his current tooling for publishing sites. Hopefully this will inspire some epic nerd battles and/or pull requests at the pub later.
Presentations start at 7pm. We welcome open dialogue during the presenations. We're all here to learn!
Come a little early to say hi. We'll also be hanging out at 6:30pm to help any newcomers needing help to gettting started by installing node and npm.
It will be a nice variety of topics and level of talks. If anyone is interested, we could also take discussions to post-talk drinks nearby. Maybe even hack a little. |

pdxdevops: Portland DevOps user group meeting
Roll back
| description |
Please join us on December 16 at Jama Software to discuss *Go for System Administrators* with Kelsey Hightower.
Created just 4 years ago, Go has been gaining traction in many areas from core system services like DNS and CDN, devops applications like Packer and Docker, and continues to stretch further into web applications and general processing utilities. Kelsey will be discussing the benefits he has realized by using Go as an admin's tool. I look forward to seeing everyone there!
Kelsey is the Director of Software Engineering at Monsoon Commerce, co-editor of the Golang Newsletter and recently gained committer status to Packer.
*This month our meeting is sponsored by [**Volt Workforce Solutions**](http://www.volt.com/volt+workforce+solutions.aspx).
Many thanks to Volt for supplying the pizza and 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.

pdxdevops: Portland DevOps user group meeting
Roll back
| description |
Please join us on December 16 at Jama Software to discuss *Go for System Administrators* with Kelsey Hightower.
Created just 4 years ago, Go has been gaining traction in many areas from core system services like DNS and CDN, devops applications like Packer and Docker, and continues to stretch further into web applications and general processing utilities. Kelsey will be discussing the benefits he has realized by using Go as an admin's tool. I look forward to seeing everyone there!
Kelsey is the Systems and Operations Manager at Monsoon Commerce, co-editor of the Golang Newsletter and recently gained committer status to Packer.

PDXCloud met for the first time in November 2012, and now it's time to celebrate our one year anniversary!
This Wednesday we will have a panel of guests talking around the theme, "Why We Chose Cloud, and What We've Learned". We have a group of panelists (many thanks to those that have agreed to sit on the panel so far), and we still have room for a few more if anyone is interested. If you have any inclination to answer questions about your company's use of cloud technologies and the factors and decisions that went into selecting those technologies, please send me an email ([email protected]). No presentations will be required, this will mainly be a Q&A session.
For the rest of you, bring plenty of questions for our panelists!
As usual, we'll have pizza, beer, and other refreshments, and additionally, we'll have a birthday cake to celebrate PDXCloud's 1 year anniversary!
As usual, doors open at 6:30pm, meeting starts at 7pm. Hope to see you on Wednesday! |

March PADNUG - Mobile First Responsive Design by Jason Grigsby
Roll back
| description |
Mobile first and responsive web design arenât simply two great tastes that go great together. No they represent much more than that. Mobile first responsive web design is the responsible way to build responsive designs.
Mobile first responsive web design is the best way to build something that is both responsive from a layout AND a performance perspective.
But if mobile first is the right way to do responsive design, then why are so few people doing it? In this presentation, weâll dig into why mobile first responsive design matters and the five techniques necessary to make it work.
Jason Grigsby was one of the project leads on the Obama iPhone Application and helped design the user interface for the Wall Street Journalâs Blackberry application. He founded and organizes Mobile Portland, a local mobile development user group. Jason built his first web page in 1995. He has spent the last 11 years building web sites professionally before being bitten by the mobile bug prompting him to throw caution to the wind and start a new company focused on mobile and web development. He blogs at CloudFour.com (http://cloudfour.com/) and can be found on Twitter as @grigs (http://twitter.com/grigs).

Keep Portland Wired! A Tour of Portlandâs Tech Community
Roll back
| description |
A tour by [Know Your City](http://knowyourcity.org) in conjunction with [The Wild](http://www.thewildevent.org/portland/)
*Cost: $25 general/ $20 members*
Board the bus for a ride through Portlandâs technology industry, including some of the major institutions our city is known for, as well as some of our emerging start ups. Get a behind-the-scenes view of leading tech innovators, and meet some of the leaders who are shaping Portlandâs tech futureâ¦youâd be crazy to miss it!
Weâll start out at Portland Incubator Experiment, a start-up incubator for new, emerging tech businesses. Associated with and housed in the Widen+Kennedy building, the space canopies 8-10 start-ups at a time, helping with the early stages of creating business. Weâll hear about how theyâve created more than $1 million in venture capital and more than 400 jobs, and meet with several of the business owners.
At Second Story weâll get a look at their innovation center for new interactive experiences. Staff will share their work in pushing the boundaries of storytelling across digital channels â including web, mobile and installations. Weâll hear a bit about their history and some of the new groundbreaking projects currently in development.
Nike+ Accelerator will provide us with a similar but different view into the world of emerging start-ups. Started just months ago, 10 teams are working with mentors to develop a variety of businesses, many around health, wellness and technology. The program is run by TechStars, a Colorado-based company that has generated more than $275 million in venture capital for clients over the last six years.
The tour ends at Free Geek, a nonprofit whose mission is to recycle technology and provide access to computers, the Internet, education, and job skills in exchange for community service. Founded in 2000, the center refurbishes more than 44,000 computers, printers and monitors a year, while recycling 601 tons of materials. Weâll take a quick tour of their thrift store, as well as learn about their hardware grants program, classes and volunteer opportunities. |

Get a behind-the-scenes view of leading tech innovators, and meet some of the leaders who are shaping Portland’s tech future…you’d be crazy to miss it!
We’ll start out at Portland Incubator Experiment, a start-up incubator for new, emerging tech businesses. Associated with and housed in the Widen+Kennedy building, the space canopies 8-10 start-ups at a time, helping with the early stages of creating business. We’ll hear about how they’ve created more than $1 million in venture capital and more than 400 jobs, and meet with several of the business owners.
At Second Story we’ll get a look at their innovation center for new interactive experiences. Staff will share their work in pushing the boundaries of storytelling across digital channels – including web, mobile and installations. We’ll hear a bit about their history and some of the new groundbreaking projects currently in development.
Nike+ Accelerator will provide us with a similar but different view into the world of emerging start-ups. Started just months ago, 10 teams are working with mentors to develop a variety of businesses, many around health, wellness and technology. The program is run by TechStars, a Colorado-based company that has generated more than $275 million in venture capital for clients over the last six years.
The tour ends at Free Geek, a nonprofit whose mission is to recycle technology and provide access to computers, the Internet, education, and job skills in exchange for community service. Founded in 2000, the center refurbishes more than 44,000 computers, printers and monitors a year, while recycling 601 tons of materials. We’ll take a quick tour of their thrift store, as well as learn about their hardware grants program, classes and volunteer opportunities. |

Wearables: The future is now
Roll back
| description |
In early 2012, Nike introduced FuelBand and Google announced its Glass Project â two events that shined a spotlight on the growing category of Wearable Technology. In the months since, the global design and business community has exploded with speculation on the potential of embedded computing. But theyâve left many questions unanswered: How will wearable technology fit into our daily lives? Is it a passing trend, or the future of computing? Will these kinds of devices bring people closer together, or add to the distractions that battle for our attention?
Whatâs clear is that computers will radically transform over the next five years, from devices we carry to integrated parts of our outfits and bodies, that we use almost without thinking. Itâs a shift that will transform markets, and challenge our definition of beauty. Please join us for a talk with local experts, as they discuss their challenges and successes, and explore what the future holds in this exciting field.

Mobile Portland: Intel's Android Tools and Community
Roll back

<p>Because Intel is a hardware company, people often miss the things Intel does on the software side and in particular open source software. Intel is one of the largest contributors to Linux. And it taking up a similar role when it comes to Android.</p>
<p>Not only have Intel worked with handset manufacturers to ship phones running on Intel metal and more recently beginning to manufacturer ARM chips as well, but they've been contributors to Android's open source software. They have a ton of tools that developers can use.</p>
<p>We're pleased and lucky to have Daniel Holmlund, an engineer working for Intel's Android developer relations, here in Portland to give us an overview of Android development and projects to which Intel contributes. They'll talk what developers need to be aware of when moving an application to an Intel Android devices, and the software tools that Intel creates to analyze and optimize Android applications.</p>
<p>In addition, Intel will be giving away t-shirts and you can <strong>enter a raffle to win a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3</strong>. You must be present to win.</p>
<p><i>Editor's note: one of the best tricks we've learned for Android development is to use the Intel emulators because they run faster on our Macs than the ARM-based emulators do. We've found it worthwhile to pay attention to what Intel is up to on Android.</i></p>

Mobile Portland: When Responsive Web Design Meets the Real World
Roll back
| description |
Why are so many responsive web designs crap?
Over 90% of responsive web sites are bloated. These sites may look good on mobile devices, but few people will ever see them because they take to long to load.
While the core tenets of responsive web design are easy to understand, doing it well is much more difficult. Slapping a few media queries on your existing site isn't enough.
The solution is mobile first responsive web design.
Mobile first and responsive web design aren't simply two great tastes that go great together. No they represent much more than that. Mobile first responsive web design is the responsible way to build responsive design. It is the best way to build something that is both responsive from a layout AND a performance perspective.
Image of Boston Globe Responsive Design
But if mobile first is the right way to do responsive design, then why are so few people doing it? In this session, we'll dig into why mobile first responsive design matters and the five techniques necessary to make it work.
If your company is exploring responsive design of even if you're already building responsive designs, you won't want to miss this talk.
About Jason Grigsby
Jason GrigsbyJason and his Cloud Four co-founder Lyza Gardner wrote Head First Mobile Web which teaches web developers how to take their web skills and transfer them to mobile. He was a signatory to the Future Friendly manifesto which addresses sensible approaches to device diversity.
Jason travel frequently giving talks and workshops helping individuals and organizations figure out how to best apply web technology to their multi-device efforts.
Jason is also the founder of Mobile Portland. He normally avoids speaking at Mobile Portland meetings for this reason, but we've twisted his arm this month. |

| description |
The Internet of Things is a great tag open to a multitude of expansions.
Early Internet architects envisioned small numbers of nodes. The IPV4 address space is on the order of the population of the earth. Internet visionaries like Deborah Estrin and many others foresaw a use case for sensors and new things beyond toasters to connect to the Internet, resulting in IPV6 with 2**95, or about 30 octillion Internet-connected things per person.
Tonight's speaker, Surj Patel, is uniquely situated to give you a view of the Internet of Things. Patel studied at MIT's media lab and mediated discussions of Internet futures at Gigaom. Now he is CEO of an Internet of Things startup. Patel also created and helms the Portland Internet of Things meetup, destined to expand internationally.
Join us for an evening of networking and enlightenment. It is free.

Business Intelligence for Nonprofit Fundraising
Roll back
| description |
<p><span>Is your donor data managed by a handful of systems that perform well for data entry tasks but that are inadequate for deep analysis especially over the long term? Or are you adept at querying your donor and gift management systems, but is doing so a laborious and time consuming task? Do you have multiple versions of the truth, and do they all compete for the attention of fundraisers and decision makers?</span> <br></p>
<p>Do any of these scenarios sound familiar? Do you lack the ability to query and explore your fundraising data in an efficient, authoritative, and insightful manner?</p>
<p>Using the tools and techniques of business intelligence, you can gain actionable insight about your donors and make your fundraising efforts more effective. In this session, I will demonstrate how you can use the Microsoft SQL Server business intelligence platform to create a powerful reporting solution, explore your donor file in highly interactive ways, and discover new opportunities for fundraising.</p>

</ul><h3>What are we doing, exactly?</h3>

Each group will have a representative from the nonprofit to answer any questions.
At the end of the weekend, we want to have a viable solution for the non-profit.

<h3>Can I attend for free? </h3>
YES! We are offering a sliding scale because we do not want cost to be a barrier for anyone to attend.
If you can afford any of the cost options, please help us out! This will help us cover the costs of this event. Any extra money goes to funding our K-12 programs to ensure that they remain free for participants.

World Information Architecture Day 2013 Event PDX
Roll back
| description |
Welcome to World Information Architecture Day 2013! Please register for this event on Eventbrite.
Come learn about what Information Architecture means and about some of the challenges facing Portland's leading practitioners.
Ideal for:Â Anyone interested in technology, creative tech, business of tech, industry pros, students and everyone in between.Â
Thanks to our sponsors: AIGA, IxDA, PDX Web and Design Meetup, Northwest Creatives Social Club, People's Sandwich of Portland and Floyd's Coffee
Our speaker lineup is amazing!
10am:Â Jeanne Turner-Walmart LabsÂ
Cultivating Good Will in the Digital World
When we have to wait 20 minutes for service after being seated at a restaurant, or when a grocery store is disorganized and the clerk is distracted and unhelpful, then we know that something is wrong with the situation. In the physical world, lack of information and poor interactions are obvious. In the physical world, we know how to make improvements that increase customer satisfaction. How can we translate this understanding to the digital world? What do we need to understand about human nature to improve digital experiences? In this talk, Jeanne Turner will discuss concepts and techniques that allow us to cultivate good will in the digital world.
11am: Patricia Colley-Interactionflow
Civilizing Information Architecture: A meditation on systems design
What is the scope of information architecture practice? To design optimal architectural structures, we know we must empathize with its inhabitants, and apply deep expertise in organization, language and flow. But we've learned, this alone will not ensure a design's success. As we dive deeply into the churning sea of design and technology trends, tools and methods, we often forget how we orient to design practice, and its increasingly complex problems, as thoughtful human beings. Will our apps, widgets and gadgets come to serve us, or will we lose ourselves in a wilderness of unmitigated digital distractions and breakdowns? To civilize our digital future, we are compelled to take a systems view of design practice. We are compelled to shift our perspectives and spark grander dialogues.This session will examine the origins and evolution of the IA role, the current and emerging climate in which our products reside, and put forth a few principles and methods to help answer the call to broaden our vision and expand our influence in a changing world.
12p:Â Huston Hedinger-Wikisway
Networks as a User Interface
The mathematics of graph theory and its many applications via network science in sociology, bioinformatics, intelligence, and even physics, represent a paradigm shift in how we study and consider information. Over the last 30 years, machines have allowed us to structure data in such a way that allow us to analyze the complex interactions between the individual actors in networks. These interactions turn out to reveal patterns that are both predictable and obedient to mathematical laws- many in the academic community are just beginning to grasp the power an the importance of these claims. The ability to visualize networks allowing the researcher/user/customer to quickly understand the structure and behavior of a network is the main focus of this talk.
1p:Â Matthew Baranauskas and Noah DiJulio-Ziba
Meeting the Challenges of Innovating on Top of Existing Platforms
Information architecture is the keystone of every digital experience. It's where consumer needs and desires often collide with a brand's hopes and dreams. The danger for companies as they grow is figuring out how to integrate new features into their customer's existing experience. Using real world examples and personal anecdotes, Matthew and Noah will discuss how they navigate the challenge of innovating on top of existing platforms using a consumer-centric approach. You'll gain perspective on where to look for inspiration and insight, how to prioritize features into something that is meaningful and authentic, and how not to lose your mind in the process.
2p: Joel Barker and Michael Sulis-Wordlions and Summit Energy Tech, respectively
Capture, Tagging and Release of Institutional Knowledge: Delivering Information in the Real World
When creating a system to deliver institutional information outside of the organization, the success of the project rests on understanding the requirements and work process of all stakeholders. In this case study, Summit Energy Tech and Word Lions collaborated to collect, organize, and make available the mission critical institutional knowledge that was the foundation of our clientâs relationship with their customers. This presentation will cover not only our solution, but the points where understanding the client capacity makes the difference between implementation and project failure.
3p:Â Alison Stump-The Social Wall
Visualizing Insight: Getting Started in Information Architecture
Information Architecture has only recently been given the respect it deserves by those outside the realm of User Experience. Often the designs we build are so elegant they appear simple. The average person on the street knows that a menu bar probably goes at the top of the page. In most cases its "common sense". It is positioned on the top of the page because an Information Architect thought about all the options, considered the usability and user research data and delivered a product that just works.That is what information Architecture is. So how do you do it? We will discuss a basic schema, various tools and resources to help you get started as well as key terms and phrases that will allow you to escalate your career.

Our speaker lineup is amazing!
10am: Jeanne Turner-Walmart Labs
Cultivating Good Will in the Digital World
When we have to wait 20 minutes for service after being seated at a restaurant, or when a grocery store is disorganized and the clerk is distracted and unhelpful, then we know that something is wrong with the situation. In the physical world, lack of information and poor interactions are obvious. In the physical world, we know how to make improvements that increase customer satisfaction. How can we translate this understanding to the digital world? What do we need to understand about human nature to improve digital experiences? In this talk, Jeanne Turner will discuss concepts and techniques that allow us to cultivate good will in the digital world.
11am: Patricia Colley-Interactionflow
Civilizing Information Architecture: A meditation on systems design
What is the scope of information architecture practice? To design optimal architectural structures, we know we must empathize with its inhabitants, and apply deep expertise in organization, language and flow. But we've learned, this alone will not ensure a design's success. As we dive deeply into the churning sea of design and technology trends, tools and methods, we often forget how we orient to design practice, and its increasingly complex problems, as thoughtful human beings. Will our apps, widgets and gadgets come to serve us, or will we lose ourselves in a wilderness of unmitigated digital distractions and breakdowns? To civilize our digital future, we are compelled to take a systems view of design practice. We are compelled to shift our perspectives and spark grander dialogues.This session will examine the origins and evolution of the IA role, the current and emerging climate in which our products reside, and put forth a few principles and methods to help answer the call to broaden our vision and expand our influence in a changing world.
12p: Huston Hedinger-Wikisway
Networks as a User Interface
The mathematics of graph theory and its many applications via network science in sociology, bioinformatics, intelligence, and even physics, represent a paradigm shift in how we study and consider information. Over the last 30 years, machines have allowed us to structure data in such a way that allow us to analyze the complex interactions between the individual actors in networks. These interactions turn out to reveal patterns that are both predictable and obedient to mathematical laws- many in the academic community are just beginning to grasp the power an the importance of these claims. The ability to visualize networks allowing the researcher/user/customer to quickly understand the structure and behavior of a network is the main focus of this talk.
1p: Matthew Baranauskas and Noah DiJulio-Ziba
Meeting the Challenges of Innovating on Top of Existing Platforms
Information architecture is the keystone of every digital experience. It's where consumer needs and desires often collide with a brand's hopes and dreams. The danger for companies as they grow is figuring out how to integrate new features into their customer's existing experience. Using real world examples and personal anecdotes, Matthew and Noah will discuss how they navigate the challenge of innovating on top of existing platforms using a consumer-centric approach. You'll gain perspective on where to look for inspiration and insight, how to prioritize features into something that is meaningful and authentic, and how not to lose your mind in the process.
2p: Joel Barker and Michael Sulis-Wordlions and Summit Energy Tech, respectively
Capture, Tagging and Release of Institutional Knowledge: Delivering Information in the Real World
When creating a system to deliver institutional information outside of the organization, the success of the project rests on understanding the requirements and work process of all stakeholders. In this case study, Summit Energy Tech and Word Lions collaborated to collect, organize, and make available the mission critical institutional knowledge that was the foundation of our client’s relationship with their customers. This presentation will cover not only our solution, but the points where understanding the client capacity makes the difference between implementation and project failure.
3p: Alison Stump-The Social Wall

PSU-TAO Cleanweb Hack (updated)
Roll back
| description |
If you haven't already signed up for the Hack tomorrow at PSU, we hope some details included here will entice you. To prepare our participants for a fun and productive day, below are details and resources for the Hack.
Goals: To generate ideas are innovative to solving environmental and sustainability, social equity issues through utilization of software and mobile apps. Donât forget to have some fun.
Idea Generation: To start, you should ask the following questions:
1) What issues you and your team would like to tackle? (ie. carbon emissions reduction by buildings or vehicles, solar potential identifier, change of personal habits, e-waste tracking, etc.)
2) What do other similar applications exist on the market? Sometimes, building on existing apps can resolve a more refined product.
3) What is the marketability? Is it scalable?
The best project ideas are one that you are passionate about, and have some components of competition and linkage to social media.
Finding Data:
While you are brainstorming ideas, you should also consider data availability as well. It is not the end of the world if you donât have data sets or APIs to mock up a prototype. Simply build your own datasets, even if just a few that are enough for you to test out your product.
See the Cleanweb Hack resource guide for APIs, data sets, sample projects and project ideas. (http://tinyurl.com/m7a744e)
Judging Criteria:
At the end of day, your prototype will be scored on these criteria:
1) Impact on resource and sustainability issues
2) Design and usability of prototype
3) Feasibility and marketability
4) Good use of datasets and APIs
Prizes: 1st Place - $500, 2nd Place - $250
Bragging right is priceless.
Our judges are looking forward to your innovations!
Winston Saunders, Director of Data Center Security Initiatives at Intel
Chris Harder, Division Manager at the Portland Development Commission (PDC)
Skip Newberry, President at the Technology Association of Oregon (TAO)
Questions? Ask us on Twitter (@cleanwebPDX), Facebook or via email [email protected]
There will be food, drink and good companies. Come out to have some fun!

IEEE Oregon - RAS Design and Philosophy Highly Dynamic Robot Locomotion
Roll back
| description |
The members of the Dynamic Robotics Laboratory explore, design, and build robotic systems that move swiftly and can easily handle impacts and kinetic energy transfer. Examples include walking and running robots, force-controlled actuators for delicate tasks such as bomb defusing, lower- and upper-extremity powered prosthetic limbs, exoskeletons for military use or assisted mobility for disabled persons, or catching a ball in the air. Many of these tasks are difficult or impossible for traditional robots due to fundamental limitations of the hardware, such as motor inertia and torque limits. The dynamics of the mechanical system are an inseparable aspect of the behavior of a robot, and can be either a limitation or an asset; thus, our approach integrates the design of the hardware dynamics with the design of the active software controller. Novel actuator designs and mechanisms combined with complementary software controllers can lead to robots that are as dexterous and agile as humans.
