Squawkathon
Roll back

Calling all designers, programmers and eco-warriors:
endangered seabirds need your help.
THE PROBLEM
Seabird bycatch is when birds are unintentionally captured and killed in fishing activities. For example, in longline fishing, birds take the bait meant for fish, are hooked, and drown. Bycatch is always bad, but for endangered species with already vulnerable populations, itâs devastating. But there is hope. Better data collection could lead to better longterm management and protection protocols. We need to find an ingenious way to track this bycatch. And we think you can help. Somewhere, thereâs a feathered friend who will thank you for it.
WHY ME?
If you have an industrial design, UX design, programming, data science or project management background and care deeply about beautiful flying squawky things, youâre an essential addition. Plus youâll be surrounded by lots of other smart, dedicated eco-warriors. Itâll be a lot of fun.
WAIT, HOLD ON...
WHATâS A HACKATHON?
A hackathon is an event where creative and tech-savvy people collaborate to build solutions for hard-to-solve problems.
The event is being hosted by Context Partners and sponsored by The David and Lucile Packard Foundation.

"No talks. You may opt to take up to 60 seconds to complain about Big Data. One paper per month, no obligation to read it."
We'll start by letting anyone who wants to take up to a minute to tell us what they've been doing with data lately.
This month's paper is [Large-Scale Matrix Factorization
with Distributed Stochastic Gradient Descent](http://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/~rgemulla/publications/gemulla11dsgd.pdf) by Gemulla, Haas, Nijkamp and Sismanis. Read it or don't - the goal is just to have something to start conversations. "Did you read the paper?" will do nicely.
Mention @PDXBigData on Twitter with the link to the full paper to suggest papers for future sessions. |

TAO QA Webinar: Crowd Source Testing
Roll back
| description |
nil |

Crowdsourcing has become widely acknowledged as a productivity solution across numerous industries. However, for companies incorporating crowdsourcing into existing business practices, specific issues must be addressed: What problem are we trying to solve? How do we control the process? How do we incentivize people to achieve our goals? Ultimately, the key to successfully employing a crowdsourcing model is to move beyond the realm of the "mob" to create an engaged, interactive community of diverse and skilled professionals. In the world of quality assurance, crowdsourcing has the potential to effectively solve emerging challenges and take your testing to new heights. Using real-world examples, uTest's John Montgomery explains how you can leverage the crowd to complement your internal systems, ensure systems work as intended under real-world conditions and effectively manage the scalability of efforts. |

Mobile Portland: Hype, Hyperbole and the Hope of the Internet of Things

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.

Roll back
| description |
<h2>Let's use our skills to make our community a better place for women and girls!</h2>
Are you a woman interested in brainstorming and creating solutions for a nonprofit? Well, we have the event for you! We're bringing in nonprofits who are focused on women and girls (or issues that women and girls encounter) who have something that they've been struggling with...and our goal is to have a viable solution for each of them by the end of the weekend!
<h3>Do I have the skills to attend?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Are you a women who is 15 years of age or older?</li>
<li>Are you a programmer?</li>
<li>Are you an interface designer?</li>
<li>Are you a manager?</li>
<li>Are you a teacher (either officially or not)?</li>
<li>Do you have experience with psychology?</li>
<li>Are you an artist?</li>
<li>Are you passionate about helping non-profits?</li>
</ul>
If you answered yes to any of those, then yes! You should. We are looking to have teams of women with diverse backgrounds. If you are under 15, let us know and we will see if we can work something out.
<h3>Why should I attend?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Altruism. Community-Mindedness. You'd like to help the local community with your skills. </li>
<li>Learn from your group members. You'll be on a diverse team of women. We are sure that you'll learn a lot from each other!</li>
<li>Learn about the non-profits. Portland has a great nonprofit community and this event will help you get in touch with some of them.</li>
<li>Help fundraise for ChickTech K-12 events. By paying for your participation, you are not only getting this experience (and food for days!), you are also helping to make our K-12 events free for participants. Thank you in advance for your support!</li>
<li>Childcare is provided.</li>
<li>Delicious food is provided. Eat up!</li>
</ul><h3>What are we doing, exactly?</h3>
You will be in a group of women working on a project for a local nonprofit. The projects are listed below under the Nonprofits section.
Each project will have a tech component, but we're looking to create a team with diverse skills to address the needs of the nonprofit.
Each group will have a ChickTech or Thetus volunteer to help out.
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 men attend?</h3>
YES! We are looking for supportive techie guys to help provide childcare for the event in order to break yet another stereotype. We are hoping to have some fun, hands-on activities for the kids too, depending on ages and age ranges.
<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.
<h3>Event Schedule</h3>
Friday: 6:30p - 9p, hors d'oeuvres, choose projects, meet teams!
Saturday: 9:30a - 5:30p, breakfast, work with teams, lunch, more work!
Sunday: 9:30a - 5:30p, breakfast, work, lunch, work, present (not the noun, the verb)!

Flux Grand Opening
Roll back
| description |
nil |

Our first public opening will be September 27th at 6pm featuring an unconference style series of 10 minute talks covering why a feminist hackerspace is necessary in Portland and related topics.
Flux â a new hackerspace in Portland â is the work of a small group of artists and hackers. We found ourselves frustrated with the difficulty of finding welcoming, affordable space for hardware workshops in Portland, OR. Itâs easy to talk software at a bar-- but you canât very well solder arduino boards over brewskies! Also, as members of âtraditionally underrepresented populations,â we found that existing meetups and maker spaces just didnât represent us or cater to our needs. Where are the women, the people of color, the queer folk, the blue collar workers? Where are our trusted allies?
The technology world is often a binder full of testosterone. Weâre tired of the exclusivity that pervades tech culture in this town-- so weâre taking action!
Flux aims to create a new culture of artists, makers, benders and breakers in Portland, OR.
Our workshop is filled with people and tools to help members navigate the technical and emotional hurdles of finishing their dream projects. As an all-volunteer group, FLUX prides itself on maintaining an explicitly feminist space. We strive to make technology inclusive for people of all backgrounds and technical abilities. To that end, we welcome makers of all genders, orientations, and ethnic and cultural heritages.

ChickTech Problem-Storming for Nonprofits
Roll back
| description |
Let's use our skills to make our community a better place for women and girls!
Are you a woman interested in brainstorming and creating solutions for a nonprofit? Do you want to talk to nonprofits that are already up, running and fixing the world? Well we have the event for you!! We're bringing in nonprofits who are focused on women and girls (or issues that women and girls encounter) who have something that they've been struggling with...and our goal is to have a viable solution for each of them by the end of the weekend!
Although each project will have a tech component, women with expertise in many different areas will be vital to creating a solid and successful solution. Each team will consist of women with a variety of backgrounds. Some of the areas the teams will need expertise in include technology, nonprofits, marketing, business, psychology, education, and design.
We'll kick off with heavy hors d'oeuvres Friday evening and everyone will choose their projects and meet their team members. Saturday and Sunday, it's all up to the teams to create something amazing! At 4pm Sunday, we'll hear from each team about their solution, and we'll adjourn at 5:30. A light breakfast, lunch and snacks are provided Saturday and Sunday.
We'd love to hear ideas on how to help teams continue working on their projects for the nonprofits!
Childcare will be provided on-site. And we would *love* to have some supportive techie guys help out with the childcare in order to break yet another stereotype! We're hoping to have some fun, hands-on activities for the kids too, depending on ages (and age ranges).
Please let us know if you have a nonprofit you think would like to be involved and get some free problem-solving, or if you'd like to be a volunteer and help to organize this event.

<p>PDXTech4Good will be one of many groups across the NetSquared global network holding a social media-themed event during Social Media September. Our event will feature a crowdsourcing change format. Heres how it works: Two or three local nonprofits (or, patients) will share how theyÂre using online marketing and social media/networking to achieve their goals and objectives. Then the surgeons (thatÂs you!) participate in a facilitated discussion about how each organization might use the social web to even greater effect.</p>
<p><img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/6/9/7/0/event_245606992.jpeg" style="margin: 5px ; float: right;"></p>
<p><strong>Want to be a patient and receive social media surgery?</strong> <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1M9t8VB8atz2N99Wjqkua7Ab45SoMqEvtRiG3rxMMTaE/viewform">Fill out this application.</a> We'll get back to you shortly.</p>
<p>Whether youÂre a social media expert or an interested citizen, your perspectives and opinions are welcome and valuable. So, come and join the crowd with your questions, insights and reactions, and help these local organizations more effectively use social tools to achieve their important objectives. This is a great learning and sharing opportunity--not only for the presenting organizations, but for all participants!</p>

We will gather and hack on Read the Docs all day. If you've never contributed before, this is a good chance since both of the main maintainers (one of which is the original author) will be there.
Read the Docs is written in Python but we could also use front end help in the form of design input and css/javascript.
There will (likely) be pizza and beer provided by Mozilla to fuel folks. |

Monthly presentation night! Talks to be announced soon.
We'll also be starting a couple of monthly segments and would LOVE your participation and submissions--
1. "Stump the Chump", a 15-minute round of anything-goes, ask any question that's been irking you about Node.js. Those williing can stand up to help answer the question in an open, friendly learning environment.
2. "Modules You Should Know", a different module featured each month. We'd love for people to take a stab at this lightning-style talk. Learn a module, share it with us, help close that discovery gap that is growing in Node.js!
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. |

Join us at the 12th 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. |

Join us at the 12th Beaver BarCamp hosted by the OSU Open Source Lab. BBC is a semi-annual interactive unconference where the attendees determine the topics! It's an opportunity to share your experiences and learn about what other people are doing on campus and in the community.
Topics can range from technical to recreational. Share your love for programming or teach people how to whistle (already been done!). All you need to do is show up and sign up to host a session. Or you can just attend! We'll have refreshments throughout the day and a limited amount of t-shirts. |

Crowd Supply's Director of Projects (and ADX member) Josh Lifton will share tips and tricks from the trenches of preparing, launching, and successfully funding your product.
This webinar will give you an overview of how you can use Crowd
Supply to launch a successful product campaign, from planning and production, to marketing and fulfillment.
Presenter: Josh Lifton, Crowd Supply
Josh received his doctorate from the MIT Media Lab and holds a
BA in physics and mathematics from Swarthmore College, which is to say he's devoted a significant amount of his time learning how to make things that blink. As head of Crowd Supply's project efforts, he is helping others launch successful crowdfunding projects. Prior to Crowd Supply, Josh worked in a variety of technology settings, from instrumenting thousands of audience members with custom wearable computers for a Cirque du Soleil performance to, most recently, serving as head of engineering at Puppet Labs. |
