Six participants will present their findings from Detour/Dérive, an urban experiment presented by Project Cityscope, the non-profit organization of Works Partnership Architecture. The participants have engaged in separate walks by choosing a bus line to ride and getting off at a stop or stops they find intriguing. The task was to walk, document/record, and reflect within a 24-hour period. The aim of this project is to explore, project, and/or (mis)interpret narratives of the city that do not occur to us as critical to the urban landscape. |

Nerd Nite #9 Nerd Nite #9 â Cataclysms on the Columbia: The Great Missoula Floods
Roll back

Tuesday, November 12, 2013
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 âe.â Be there and be square.
When: Tuesday, November 12, 2013, doors at 6:00pm, event at 7:00pm
Where: Mission Theater, 1624 NW Glisan, Portland
Cost: $8.00 suggested cover at the door, or available online
This Nerd Nite will feature just one speaker, the unforgettable Scott Burns!
One of the greatest sets of geological events to ever have occurred in North America was the Missoula Floods. Occurring as many as 40 times during the last ice age, the floods were caused by waters released from ancient Lake Missoula that scoured the Columbia River basin, carved out the Columbia River Gorge, and swept across at least 16,000 square miles of the Pacific Northwest. At this Nerd Nite, Scott Burns, PhD, http://geology.pdx.edu/node/67, professor of geology and past chair of the Department of Geology at PSU, will focus on the incredible story of discovery and development of the idea of the floods by J Harlen Bretz and will discuss the effect of the floods on the landscape of the Willamette Valley and the area around us.
*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 #8 – You Say You Want Some Evolution: Gibbons and Spiders
Tuesday, October 8, 2013
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, October 8, 2013, 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 the following two talks:
Swinging Between Genomics, Evolution, and Conservation
The small apes (or gibbons) are amazing primates living in South East Asia and currently threatened by extinction. They have many distinctive traits separating them from their cousins, the great apes (orang, gorilla and chimp), including the ability to move just using their arms (i.e. brachiation), monogamy, and vocalization to defend their territory.
Lucia Carbone, PhD, Assistant Professor at OHSU studying genomics and epigenetics, has been studying the gibbon genome to learn more about these species and primate evolution in general. Her talk will go over her latest findings and highlight a fascinating connection between processes in evolution and human disease.
Spider Venoms: The Evolution of an Arsenal
Spiders (all 44,000 species) play key roles in our ecosystems as predators of insects. Without spiders there would be many more insects and fewer plants. Evolution over the last 400 million years has created enormous diversity among spiders in predatory tactics, including web and venom use, which has resulted in a phenomenal diversity of silk and venom chemistry.
Greta Binford, PhD, Associate Professor of Biology at Lewis & Clark College, studies diversity and evolution of spiders and their venoms, including the toxic brown recluse and its relatives. She will highlight some of the beautiful biological diversity of spiders’ feeding biology, silks, and venoms, and discuss how evolution has generated a "pharmacopeia" of unique toxins that are rich in potential for human applications.
*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.

(Galois Tech Talk) New Directions in Random Testing: from Mars Rovers to JavaScript Engines
Roll back
| description |
nil |

Presented by Alex Groce.
One of the most effective ways to test complex language implementations, file systems, and other critical systems software is random test generation. This talk will cover a number of recent results that show how---despite the importance of hand-tooled random test generators for complex testing targets--- there are methods that can be easily applied in almost any setting to greatly improve the effectiveness of random testing. Surprisingly, giving up on potentially finding any bug with every test makes it possible to find more bugs over all. The practical problem of finding distinct bugs in a large set of randomly generated tests, where the frequency of some bugs may be orders of magnitude higher than other bugs, is also open to non ad-hoc methods.

Abstract:
> The role of IT administrators is constantly evolving. We've been burdened
> (bestowed?) with the task of automating as much as possible as our

> Unfortunately, both Puppet and Chef arrived just on the cusp of the

>
> This talk is about how we've worked to bridge the gap, to go
> Cloud-Native. I'll demonstrate the impedance mismatch that occurs when you run
> chef in the cloud, and how we created a system better adapted to this new

> By the end I hope I can convince you that there are ways to operate with

Waterfall to Agile: Flipping the Switch
Roll back

<b>Waterfall to Agile: Flipping the Switch</b><br>
Presented by Bhushan Gupta, Nike Inc.
<b>Abstract:</b>
Agile software development methodology is transitioning from a fad to a practice. More and more software development practitioners are contemplating to switch from Waterfall to Agile if not entirely at least partially. Terms like scrum, sprint, stand up, story points, and velocity are becoming the ‘Lingua Franca’. While enough light has been shed on the mechanics of creating a release and iteration plan, managing story development, and sprint retrospectives, the team dynamics and behavior for success has not been given the mindshare it deserves.
Although the rules of the game when moving from waterfall to agile development change substantially, the players and their goals do not. The player that, “product manager” now becomes “product owner” and need to very actively pursue customer interest as a customer surrogate. Test engineers who took pride in breaking the code are now urged to work side by side with the developers and ensure that the defects are resolved immediately for a successful completion of a sprint. The project managers who are supposed to drive the schedule take on a role of facilitators making every effort to see that the sprint is complete and the velocity is adequate. Requirements that are frozen rarely gel and the designs go through multiple refactoring cycles to make sure that the development progresses. The new product quality champions who were always looking for “the knee in the defect trends” now barely have any fluctuations in the defect find trends from sprint to sprint. Referring the game, there is a new character in the theatre, “scrum master”, who manages the delivery of the stories.
Can this change be achieved by simply creating a backlog, a release plan, and a sequence of iterations? No. It takes changes in people’s perspectives, the way they think, and the way they achieve their goals. Would a Type A “product owner” who is used to take a product to the market with all the bells and whistles be comfortable to do so with less than the planned functionality? Would a star developer forget about gold plating and would a test engineer who always took pride in finding errors in someone else’s work be able to stand by developers and work with them. Most of all, would the orchestra be able to perform without the precisely written music, the “requirements document”? This paper analyzes the transition of a waterfall team to an agile environment and how changing the perspectives of the players can make the transition a success when the switch from Agile to Waterfall is flipped.

Six participants will present their findings from Detour/Dérive, an urban experiment presented by Project Cityscope, the non-profit organization of Works Partnership Architecture. The participants have engaged in separate walks by choosing a bus line to ride and getting off at a stop or stops they find intriguing. The task was to walk, document/record, and reflect within a 24-hour period. The aim of this project is to explore, project, and/or (mis)interpret narratives of the city that do not occur to us as critical to the urban landscape. |

Ladies - learn web programming!

Hey ladies! Epicodus is offering an almost-free one-day workshop on Saturday, September 7, from 10am - 1pm for women who want to learn web programming.
This event is open to women, girls, and queer/trans folks who feel like this is the right space for you. At minimum, you should be comfortable using computers, but no coding experience is necessary. At most, you may have done some HTML and/or CSS, but aren't a professional developer.
We'll cover the basics of how the web works, what part languages and frameworks and other buzzwords play, and then we'll dive into writing some code! By the end, you'll have a good sense of how to continue learning web programming.
I'm asking you pay an $8 registration fee, mainly to make sure that you don't register and not come, but also to cover me buying you breakfast and coffee! If you can't afford to pay, just drop me a line letting me know your situation and promising me that you won't bail.
Space is limited to 24 participants. You don't need to bring a computer, but you do need to bring headphones (you'll go through some video tutorials).

A cost effective resource for basic IP training that would otherwise be coordinated and produced in-house. This 4-hour workshop will describe, in depth, the entire patent system, from its reason for existence to how to create strong patents as valuable corporate assets.
The first hour of the workshop will be a general overview of the patent system and will be lead by Vincent Chiappetta, Professor of Law, Willamette University.
Content will include:
- Why the US has an intellectual property system
- How patents relate to other forms of intellectual property

•How to develop an application that will ultimately issue as a patent
•Why are claims so hard to read (and how to read them)
How to successfully navigate an application through the Patent Office
Leads: Kevin Ross, Marger Johnson McCollom PC
Rick Boyd, Ater Wynne LLP
•How examiners use "Prior Art"
•How to best respond to Patent Office rejections
•How to prosecute a patent that will withstand an invalidity attack
Participants will take home a packet of valuable materials specific to developing an in-house patent system.

Portland Linux/Unix Group: Virtual Private Networks
Roll back
| description |
Virtual Private Networking
Our illustrious IPv6 authority will give a talk on popular Virtual
Private Network options, including:
1) standard IPSec clients - require static IP at each endpoint, and are supported out of the box by Windows, Cisco IOS, Mac, and Unix using raccoon and similar programs.
2) Modified IPSec VPN clients - example is the Cisco IPSec VPN client. This is a proprietary modification used to allow one end to have a dynamic IP number.
3) SSL VPN clients. Cisco has one they call AnyConnect that is proprietary. OpenVPN is another example.
4) PPTP. This was supposed to have died years ago but since Microsoft ships the PPTP client with Windows it is still very useful is situations where the network admin is forced to provide VPN services to clients that she has no control over.
5) L2TP. This is what PPTP morphed into, Microsoft supports it natively, so it has the same benefits (to the network admin) as PPTP plus the Microsoft implementation allows for encryption using IPSec with certificates.
Ted is the Co-Owner of Portlandia IT and author of the FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide
Many attendees will break for a social hour at the Lucky Lab Brew Pub NW at 1945 NW Quimby
See you there! |
