description nil → The Linux Clinic meets once a month on the third Sunday from 1 - 5 pm at Free Geek, 1731 SE 10th Avenue, Portland, 97214. Bring you Linux computer that is being a brat and we'll teach it some manners. Or bring your computer that has some evil operating system on it and we'll send it home with a shiny, clean Linux distro. Or just come and look over shoulders to see what Linux is all about. If you already know Linux well, the Clinic is also a good place to learn how to help users troubleshoot problems. It's excellent training for tech support work in Linux. We have monitors, mice, keyboards, and miscellanous other perifpherals, so generally all you need to bring is the box. There is also coffee and people usually bring munchies as well. After all, you can't computer on an empty tummy.

description speakers: Eric Wilhelm + Jonathan "Duke" Leto (Rumored cameo / lightning talk by Florian "rafl" Ragwitz.) Programming in the Future - a preview of the upcoming OSCON presentation covering the last and next 25 years of programming technology using Perl as our time machine. We'll look at the evolution of tools, syntax, modules, and standard practices, the gooey innards, and some "hot new things" which are still being discovered again. Introduction to Dist::Zilla for Newbies - eliminates your excuses for not learning more about Dist::Zilla and using it on a regular basis. By the end of this talk, you will know how and why to use dzil as your favorite Perl package developer tool, and you might even need to publish more code on the CPAN just to have an excuse to use it more. As usual, the meeting will be followed by social hour at the Lucky Lab Brew Pub. → speakers: Eric Wilhelm + Jonathan "Duke" Leto (Rumored cameo / lightning talk by Florian "rafl" Ragwitz.)

The members of Master Pancake provide live comedy along with the movie, as well as hilarious skits and competitions. Now they're coming to Seattle's SIFF Cinema at the Uptown for a live skewering of the Pacific Northwest's greatest contribution to cinema, TWILIGHT! This Lost Boys rehash about a teenager who moves to a small town in the Pacific Northwest and falls in with the vampire crowd features Kristen Stewart as the new kid in town, and Robert Pattinson as the centuries-old kid in town. Kidding aside, the acting is surprisingly good: Stewart is masterful at her one facial expression, and Pattinson has perfected the pale dead-guy mystique that he honed as Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter series. And if you thought you'd seen every vampires-playing-baseball cliché in the book, just wait 'til you see how director Catherine Hardwicke breathes new life into that tired set piece. Come out to Cinema 21 and let the bloodletting begin as Master Pancake sucks the life out of this preposterously ghastly modern teen "classic"!

update Calagator::Event 1250462472 Portland Linux/Unix Group: TBD Roll back

description Portland Linux/Unix Group Meeting It's a little known secret that systemd is extremely capable of starting, controlling and regulating more than just system services, but can easily start an entire Desktop UI. Not many people have sat down and implemented and worked out the problems of starting an X service, a few UI components, the session bus and DBus services for normal users with the mechanisms that systemd provides. The benefits are obvious: Systemd provides excellent service monitoring and restarting capabilities, provides socket and DBus activation for relevant services, and overall improves desktop startup by allowing user services to start well before core services like Xorg or wayland start. In effect, we're saying goodbye to XDG autostart entirely, and getting back reliability and scalability. We converted several desktop environments including Tizen's Mobile UI, Xfce4, Enlightenment and more to systemd user sessions. We "pop the hood" and take a look at the implications for startup, what's possible to further improve on the session startup and where we can do better. Auke Kok is a software engineer at Intel's Open Source Technology Center, and has been attempting to make Linux boot faster since 2007. In 2008, he co-presented the "5-second boot" with Arjan van de Ven at the first LPC. Since then, Auke has worked on further improving the Linux Core OS start sequence, first for Moblin and later with MeeGo, where we made the first switch to systemd. Auke now works on Tizen, which will heavily integrate systemd in the Core OS. Agenda: 7:00 - 7:15 Announcements 7:15 - 8:30 Presentation and Questions 9:00 - ...

update Calagator::Event 1250462521 Measuring and Improving Key SaaS Metrics Roll back

description Beer and SaaS metrics go together like peanut butter and fluff.  Join other like-minded SaaS and internet startup entrepreneurs from the PDX area July 12, 2012 (Thursday) in a casual roundtable to discuss what key metrics have worked for them and what has not. Hosted at Urban Airship's industrial digs with beer and snacks. We'll kick off the evening with opening remarks by Totango Co-Founder, Omer Gotlieb, and go into stats and figures from our SaaS Metrics Survey and Customer Engagement benchmark report.

What to expect: 1) You're not alone, other SaaS companies want to learn best practices for measuring key metrics. This is your chance to spitball some ideas. 2) Network with other SaaS entrepreneurs! 3) Learn new strategies from others' successes (or what to avoid). This is the perfect event for you to measure your success! We'll see you there! → Beer and SaaS metrics go together like peanut butter and fluff.  Join other like-minded SaaS and internet startup entrepreneurs from the PDX area July 12, 2012 (Thursday) in a casual roundtable to discuss what key metrics have worked for them and what has not.
