create Calagator::Event 1250462914 AgilePDX Downtown Pub Lunch: BA's on Agile Teams Roll back

description nil → It’s that time again, and this month we return to the topic we tabled last month in favor of discussing the recent big agile conference. This month, we’re talking about the business analyst role on the Agile Team? “What?! A business analyst on an Agile Team?” you may say. Yes, many companies explicitly call out this role on the Team to support the Product Owner or draw from a pool of BA’s to fulfill the Product Owner function. The questions before us are many: Is this a good idea? What are the costs and benefits? When does it make sense? What about role boundaries? Doesn’t this institute them? How come the BA would be on the Team? (some actually report into a product management function along with the PO’s.) Why doesn’t my Team do this? Isn’t this anti-Agile? Well you might ask. Come down and ask it of a bunch of colleagues primed with questions and answers of their own. Same bat time; same bat place: noon on Friday at Ringler’s (not Ringler’s Annex, keep heading east) on Burnside. Good food. Good beer. Good, straight talk.

create Calagator::Event 1250462913 Handwriting Analysis for Women in Technology? Roll back

description nil → Ever wondered about people who write in all capitals or in cursive? Did you know that how you write is really your brain writing? Handwriting Analysis is a method of determining personality and even physical wellness. Come to the Collective Agency to learn from Andrejka Coklyat more about what makes you and others tick! The best handwriting sample is a letter beginning with a salutation, ending with your signature, written on unlined paper, with your favorite pen/pencil, on a comfortable surface about a neutral topic.

update Calagator::Event 1250462869 Computer Science Colloquium Roll back

description Title: Skolkovo, ARCCN, Software Defined Networking and OpenFlow Speaker: Dr. Carolyn Turbyfill, Director of Engineering, ARCCN Location: FAB 86-01 Time: 10:15am Abstract: What is Skolkovo? The goal of the Skolkovo Innovation Centre is "to concentrate international intellectual capital, thereby stimulating the development of break-through projects and technologies." [1] Companies engaged in innovative development are selected to become project participants and are provided with developmental assistance by the Skolkovo Foundation and its partners. The Applied Research Center for Computer Networks (ARCCN) is a non-profit organization within the Skolkovo project focused on creating enabling technologies for the next generation of computer technology. ARCCN’s vision is to develop a world class Russian center specializing in Software Defined Networking (SDN). SDN implements the control plane of network switches and routers in software running on separate servers, "to commoditize network hardware and provide a standard-based application development platform taking much of the features and functionality that exist inside custom proprietary software and driving it into an open SDN space." OpenFlow is an example of SDN. "OpenFlow offers a standard-based Application Programming Interface or API that links an Ethernet switch and a controller. This offers a model in which layer 2 Ethernet switches are low-cost merchant silicon based devices where flows are directed by a centralized controller(s)."[2] ARCCN is building collaborative relationships with international academic, research and commercial organizations. [1] http://www.sk.ru/en/Model.aspx [2] http://lippisreport.com/2012/02/lippis-report-187-software-defined-networking-needs-a-bigger-definition/ Bio: Dr. Turbyfill holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Her first research project in the field of Computer Science was the Wisconsin Benchmark that pioneered benchmarks by which relational database systems are measured today. She has advanced her career with milestones consisting of the first commercial implementations of leading edge products such as: the first firewall appliance, SunScreen SPF-100 and SKIP, one of the first commercial Virtual Private Networks (VPN); the first managed security service and the first round trip email marketing service. While at Sun Microsystems, she worked with CISSP, a coalition of companies, on changing export controls on encryption. As VP of Engineering at StackSafe, she led the team that developed the StackSafe Test Center, which was named the 2008 ITIL Innovation of the Year. In 2009 Dr. Turbyfill was inducted into the Women in Technology International's (WITI) Hall of Fame for her longstanding commitment to create opportunities for women in technology careers. → Title: Skolkovo, ARCCN, Software Defined Networking and OpenFlow Speaker: Dr. Carolyn Turbyfill, Director of Engineering, ARCCN Location: FAB 86-01 Time: 10:15am Abstract: What is Skolkovo?

description At Tech Ed 2012, the biggest change over the previous years had to do with ALM and agile development – it seemed like one out of every four classes dealt with Agile in one way or another. What is all the fuss about – and how can our team use the best tools to keep developers and BA’s humming and business owners happy? In this talk Dave will explore his team's two-year long experience with Agile development at Columbia Sportswear Company, including experiences with TFS and other tools. Along the way we’ll cover: • The Software Development Hierarchy of Needs (from a great post by Scott Hanselman) • Our experiences with MVC, TDD, and Azure • Why the Spanish Armada didn’t work and Apollo 13 did – the Cone of Death • The dirty little secret behind scrum – hint, it’s not a magic bullet • Jealousy as a proactive emotion • Save the poker for Vegas • Managing priorities across software development teams in one list Speaker: Dave Harrison is the Development Manager and .Net Lead Developer at Columbia Sportswear. He has 7 years of Windows and Internet/Web applications development experience. Dave is a certified Scrum Master and agile enthusiast (www.rogueagile.com) → At Tech Ed 2012, the biggest change over the previous years had to do with ALM and agile development – it seemed like one out of every four classes dealt with Agile in one way or another.

We'll begin with a quick introduction to electricity, including electrical flow and the difference between conductive and non-conductive materials. Next, we will talk about how computers rely on electricity to store and display data. We'll get to look at the inside of a computer, take apart a hard drive, and even see what goes into a burnable DVD. Afterward, we'll learn enough binary to make our own ASCII craft and play with binary magic. All of this will be topped off by pizza and soda as the girls wait for their parents to arrive. Parents are welcome to stay and participate, but they must register separately.

update Calagator::Event 1250462703 AgilePDX Downtown (Evening) - Agile Still Sucks - Frank D'Andrea Roll back

description Frank D’Andrea is an enthusiastic Agile evangelist, mentor, educator, and most recently, the Vice-President of Software Development at Tater Tot Designs. He has extensive experience in managing web and software development projects as well as mobile application and Content Management System development efforts. He is an experienced process improvement specialist with expertise in both Agile and Waterfall development environments. Frank has leadership experience in both Product and Project Management as well as hands-on experience as a Certified Scrum Professional. Frank has been involved in numerous extracurricular activities as well; such as a 10-year stint of teaching poetry, literature, creative writing, and composition classes at Portland Community College; representing Portland as a member of Portland’s National Poetry Slam team; publishing and performing with Haiku Inferno, and getting his J.D. from Willamette University College of Law. --- Here's the abstract: Agile Still Sucks. Bringing Agile into an organization is never a good idea. It is disruptive, complicated, and very expensive. It brings organizational dysfunction to the surface and shines a bright light on business practices that sabotage teams and fail to deliver value to clients. Further, unwitting teams may adopt a version of Agile that becomes dogmatic, inflexible, and interested in perpetuating the "process” of Agile rather than being, well, agile. The only thing worse than bringing Agile in, is trying to get Agile right. That said, everyone should be using Agile. This presentation will explore ways to bring Agile into an organization, how to choose the right "flavor” of Agile, and what to do when it goes badly – because it will. This presentation will also examine how to expand the Agile conversation from within the software development team, outward to internal stakeholders, and eventually into client engagements. Details and Pizza: This event is free and is at Puppet Labs. It begins at 6:30 pm with pizza, sponsored by PNSQC (Many thanks to both Puppet Labs and PNSQC for supporting agile in Portland). The program starts at 7:00 pm. After the program you're invited to join us for a no-host gathering at a nearby brewpub for further discussion of launching Agile Projects. → Frank D’Andrea is an enthusiastic Agile evangelist, mentor, educator, and most recently, the Vice-President of Software Development at Tater Tot Designs.

It's a special night, as we will have Pigsquad and Games for Change joining us all in the same venue. There will be good food, good drinks and the good company of Portland's game developers! Bring stuff to work on and share, or just stop by to talk. The roundtable discussion topic this week: Staying Productive and Inspired: How Creative People Get Work Done Anyone who does creative work (art, design, programming, music) knows there's a fine balance we have to maintain, splitting time between finding inspiration and buckling down and getting things done. When does looking for inspiration become detrimental distraction? When does working for hours on end become hazardous and counterproductive? Let's all talk about how we deal with this in our daily work: how we stay focused, how we stay excited, how we budget our time and attention See ya all there!

description WhereCampPDX is a free, volunteer-created unconference for anyone interested in geography and technology. This year’s event will be happening October 12th-14th, with a full day of unconference sessions at Metro Regional Center on the 13th. An unconference is a conference planned by the participants. We convene together, plan sessions, and break-out into the proposed session discussions and activities. This gives everyone an opportunity to bring to the table the things that interest them the most, and talk about emerging topics that are still new and exploratory. We value open participation, providing access to new voices, and lowering barriers to participation. As a result, the event is driven by the interests and talents of the participants. → RSVP: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/4059309504 WhereCampPDX is a free, volunteer-created unconference for anyone interested in geography and technology.
