What is Startup Riot Portland SHOW? It's one day where thirty startups present for 3 minutes each and then answer questions for 3 minutes. We expect some deals will get funded during the day. Plus it's affordable to attend and we make sure only the right people get in the room (sorry, no non-sponsoring service providers). What's not to like? |

Hacking Social Impact
Roll back
| description |
Hacking Social Impact is an unconference to encourage access to the broader stream of activity. Itâs an un/conference with curated guests, organizations, and learning activities â the best aspects of a conference, but with an engaging dose of hands-on learning and networking.
Register at https://www.hackingsocialimpact.eventbright.com.
When: Monday, November 12th, 5:30-8 pm and November 13th,

Bring your questions. Bring your Problems. Join us for Lean Coffee facilitated by Dianna Larsen.
Lean Coffee started in Seattle in 2009 when Jim Benson and Jeremy Lightsmith wanted to combine lean and Knowledge work. Now, Seattle Lean Coffee happens every week, and is very popular.
Lean Coffee is a structured, but agenda-less meeting. Participants gather, build an agenda, and begin talking. Conversations are directed and productive because the agenda for the meeting was democratically generated.
(http://leancoffee.org/)
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. |

It's no secret there is a depressing lack of women in technology & STEM related careers—even worse is the societal focus on the problem not the solution.
The solution is clear: inspire women to pursue their interests in technology and provide a support system with wisdom and encouragement to develop their careers.
Join us for a honest and proactive conversation about all things career; from resume & interview tips to salary neogations to dealing with cultural norms & expectations to unique insight on how we as women can kick ass AND climb the ladder.
Our conversation will be lead by Jenny Walsh, VP Web Services, GigaPan Systems - http://www.gigapan.com and Aimee Fahey, Recruiting Consultant & Career Coach - http://ecogrrlconsulting.wordpress.com
One of Portland's favorite food trucks will be on site from 5-7pm to purchase your favorite food truck treats before and during the event. Various yummy snacks & beverages will be provided as well.
Attendees are invited to submit questions about technology & STEM careers for a Q&A discussion. Questions can be submitted via Email, Twitter or FB.
HUGE thanks to our friends at Urban Airship for hosting the event.
As always men are encouraged to attend. |

Code 'n' Splode: Techy Sexagenarians
Roll back
| description |
Topic: Techy Sexagenarians; Speaker: Jen Davidson
What are you going to do when you retire? Contribute to open source software, right? Do all those side-projects you never get around to doing while working? The first generation of programmers are retiring right now, and I plan to examine their experience contributing to open source software. Most open source communities are notoriously homogeneous, dominated by 20-30something white males. Through my research, I hope to provide open source communities with a proposal for involving older adults. During the talk, I'll go over my research goals, how I plan meet those goals, and discuss some of the human-computer interaction research methods that I'm using. If you want to know more about life as a computer science/human-computer interaction PhD student, we can talk about that too.
**Note: Code-n-Splode (CnS) is a women-focused group. All self-identified women and genderqueer persons are invited to attend and participate, and men are welcome as the guest of a female participant.
For more information, visit our website, or send an email to <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/code-n-splode">our list</a>. |
