CHIFOO Presents: Immersive Environments and Advanced Visualization Technologies for Testing New Car Designs
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
The Ford Immersive Vehicle Environment (FiVE) applies a variety of real-time, advanced visualization technologies to allow efficient, quick and effective evaluations of vehicle design proposals. Ford is using virtual and augmented reality in a unique and amazing way to simulate a multitude of customer perspectives very early in the development process. Their approach is different…it combines the best of what the virtual and physical worlds have to offer.
How did Ford get there? Elizabeth will explain how the need for FiVE was fulfilled, the importance of quantifying the vehicle-owner subjective relationship, and the consideration of human-machine interaction. She will explain the totally awesome VR systems used at Ford and the successes and challenges of virtual reviews. She will relay the practical (and impractical) principles Ford employs regarding conducting virtual assessments, as well as the types of assessments that are used in vehicle development and engineering. Elizabeth will detail how Ford quantifies the emotional connection between you and your car. And she will also provide insight on where gaps exist in the current suite of VR tools, and thoughts on the future of human/computer interaction for vehicle engineering and design.
About the Speaker
Elizabeth Baron is a Technical Specialist in Virtual Reality and Advanced Visualization at Ford Motor Company. She manages the Ford immersive Vehicle Evaluation (FiVE) Lab in Product Development, and provides immersive virtual reality evaluation systems used for industrial design and product development. She develops and deploys highly realistic immersive systems that address the unique challenges of automotive design, engineering and ergonomics. She has led the development of immersive VR systems that satisfy evaluation criteria for engineering, ergonomics and aesthetic design to allow different disciplines in product development to communicate in a common environment.
Elizabeth began her career at Ford in 1988 working as a software developer for Ford’s product design software, later specializing in visualization and solid modeling software. She received her BS in Industrial Technology and Computer Science from Eastern Michigan University. She is also a qualified Six Sigma Academy Black Belt. She is a member of the Human Motion Simulation Consortium at the University of Michigan, the Society of Automotive Engineers, IEEE and ACM.

Galois Tech Talk: Non-interference and Binary Correctness of seL4
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
Presented by Gerwin Klein and Thomas Sewell.
This talk introduces two new facets that have recently been added to the seL4 formal verification story: a proof the kernel does not leak information between domains, and a proof that the compiled binary matches the expected semantics of the C source code.
The first part of the talk presents a new non-interference theorem for seL4, which builds on the earlier function correctness verification. The theorem shows how seL4 can be configured as a static separation kernel with dynamic kernel services within each domain.
The binary proof addresses the compiler-correctness assumption of the earlier seL4 proofs by connecting the compiled binary to the refinement chain, thus showing that the seL4 binary used in practice has all of the properties that have been shown of its models. We use the Cambridge ARM model and Magnus Myreen's certifying decompiler, together with a custom correspondence finder for assembly-like programs powered by modern SMT solvers. We cover the previously-verified parts of seL4 as compiled by gcc (4.5.1) at optimisation level 1. |

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>NOTE:</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">This event will not be held on the first Wednesday of the month as per usual. Event moved to July 10 due to the holiday.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Also note different venue.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Agenda</strong></span></p>
<p>Networking and refreshments 6pm-6:30pm</p>
<p>Presentation 6:30pm</p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Description</strong></span></p>
<p>Intended for small and volunteer run nonprofits, this presentation dispels the mystery surrounding the selection and implementation of a database used to track volunteer related information such as contact info, skills, training history, schedules, time sheets, jobs, and job locations. This non-technical presentation is specifically geared towards nonprofits which are starting to outgrow their current approach to tracking, managing, and reporting on volunteer activity. The right volunteer data management solution can help free up time for managing volunteers (rather than administering the process), enable your organization to make better decisions through targeted reporting, and even increase volunteer hours by making it easier for individuals to engage with your nonprofit.</p>
<p>Those organizations currently using paper, spreadsheets, or desktop databases will benefit just as much as those nonprofits already using a purpose built volunteer management system. Join us, share your own experiences, and learn from others as you are walked through the process of choosing and putting in a volunteer management system that best meets the unique needs of your organization.</p>
<p>Key Takeaways Include:</p>
<ul>
<li>A step by step process for selecting the right database to recruit, schedule, coordinate, and communicate with volunteers as well as produce reports for use within the organization</li>
<li>A roadmap for moving to the new volunteer management system</li>
<li>Common selection and implementation issues and how to avoid them</li>
</ul><p><strong style="font-size: large;">About the presenter</strong></p>
<p><strong>Jeff Turner</strong>, PMP is the Principal at NPO Back Office, a company specializing in supporting the technology needs of small and volunteer run nonprofits. A certified Project Management Professional (PMP), Mr. Turner is an accomplished Information Technology professional, nonprofit leader and volunteer who spent the first 18 years of his career improving organizational efficiency and integrating mission critical systems for some of the most widely recognized companies in the Pacific Northwest. He now takes great pleasure in helping nonprofits leverage technology to reduce labor requirements and improve organizational communication.</p>
<p><strong style="font-size: large;">What you'll get out of PDXTech4Good events</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Nonprofit staffers</strong> will find a friendly, welcoming atmosphere for those not experienced with technology, and many chances to ask questions of tech-experienced nonprofits and experts.</li>
<li>
<strong>Techies</strong> will find opportunities to hear the real-world stories of nonprofit clients, and put their own expertise to social good as well as the potential for lasting relationships (be they paid or volunteer) with leading organizations in our community.</li>
<li>
<strong>Activists and community organizers</strong> will see and be given the chance to present on successful uses of technology for social change. We'll explore how technology can help support activism and where activism can push it forward.</li>

Portland has hit the radar: Business Week has noted the stunning growth of our tech scene. Local start-ups are actually being funded fueling awareness and rivaling Portland’s larger competitors (like San Francisco).
The fuel for the fire? Accelerators (PIE: Portland Incubator Experiment) in partnership with leading brands, technology innovators, and trend setting local agencies (Wieden+Kennedy); Upstart Labs is helping grow local companies Chirpify and Celly; and the Nike+ Accelerator is powering TechStars and Nike.
PAF’s GET STARTED gives you a front-row seat by bringing together the leaders of PIE, Upstart and Nike+ Accelerator. Unearthing the magic behind growing startups, they’ll outline how advertising and digital agencies can and are providing guidance and support to bring companies to life. You’ll learn how your agency/company can participate in this trend and how you’ll benefit and grow from your own tech chops alongside your startup partners. |

Portland Perl Mongers – Simple Questions Should Have Simple Answers + pdx.pm governance
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
speaker: MichaelSchwern
If a developer ever says “it’s really simple”, run and do not look back.
Developers often throw around terms like “easy” and “obvious” but what do they tell them about what to do to make something “easier” and “more obvious”? What does it tell them about whether somebody else will find something “easy” and “obvious”? Not a lot.
Giving simple questions simple answers tells how to take action to make things easier and more obvious to the casual user. Embracing the task of providng simple answers rejects the fallacy that complex implementations mean complex answers. It creates a new relationship of respect between the user and the developer; a good user can ask a simple question illuminating what people want to do, and a good developer fulfills the user’s desire for a simple answer.
What does it mean to be simple?
* How do you find it?
* What are its benefits?
* What happens when you don’t seek simplicity?
### pdx.pm governance
Before the presentation, we'll have a short discussion about the future of the monthly group meetings as Eric Wilhelm is no longer able to be the sole organizer.
As usual, the meeting will be followed by social hour at the Lucky Lab Brew Pub. |

Product Owners as catalyst for Agile Teams
Topic: Coaching and Empowering Product Owners
Format: Facilitated discussion by Chet Amborn
Location: Nolan Ryan 1 Air Huarache
Date: 6/11/13
Time: 7:45am to 9:00am
Overview:
The performance and empowerment of the product owner is often the most important factor in a successful Agile project. Chet Amborn, Agile Coach, has identified 5 key areas where Product Owners need help from their ScrumMaster in making decisions that will make or break a project. Too often, ScrumMasters overly focused on low level issues with the development/implementation team while the truly significant issues involving Product Owner decisions are ignored.

OEN's Entrepreneurial Summit: The Entrepreneurs Journey
Roll back
| description |
From tech to food and onto science, our region's entrepreneurs are developing ideas and companies that are making a difference from both an economic development standpoint and the betterment of the society we live in. The journey from an idea or concept to actually getting your company up and running is never an easy one. It's one that is filled with ups and downs, victories and defeats, but the one thing that all of these entrepreneurs share is a passion for what they are trying to build or create.
OEN's Entrepreneurial Summit is your opportunity to discover and learn about the incredible collection of entrepreneurs, across all industries that are making things happen in Oregon.These entrepreneurs all have a passion and belief in what they have built, but their journeys will both inspire and spark ideas within you. D'Wayne Edwards with Pensole Shoe Design Academy, Anna Martens with FreeRangePDX/Leatherman and Mat Ellis with Cloudability are just a few of the great speakers that are lined up for the event.
As many of these entrepreneurs will attest, they couldn't have done it on their own. To that end, after the talks have completed, OEN is hosting an"Entrepreneurs Journey" trade show. The trade show will include the organizations, accelerators, universities and government resources that provide the support, mentorship and potential funding for entrepreneurs. |
