"Max Guernsey: Goad Testing: Guaranteeing that Tests Make Distinctions"
Roll back
| description |
Test Driven Development has reached maturity. Goad Testing takes you a level deeper, examining what tests really are and using the outcome of that exercise to derive new ways of keeping software - both production and test - healthy, flexible, and on-specification. Making distinctions is a critical aspect of a test: It allows a test to serve as an executable specification. Sometimes this ability is lost in the course of maintenance. Goad testing is a way to prevent that from happening without introducing significant extra work or complexity.
About Max Guernsey III, Hexagon Software LLC:
Iâve been in the software development industry for over ten years. Nearly half of that has been spent mentoring teams in various aspects of Agility, including Design Patterns, TDD, User Story creation & analysis. In the last few years, Iâve become interested in how Lean and Agile fit together.
This event is free and is at our new location, 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 chicken wings and other agile conundrums.

Portland Synth Meet is a gathering for audio synthesizer enthusiasts. It's a chance for makers and collectors to show off their gear, share notes and make sounds. Synths of all kinds will be represented including modular and desktop synths, drum machines, circuit bent instruments and algorithmic one-liners. Anything that can synthesize or manipulate sound is welcome. Bring your own speakers and power strips. Local synth makers will offer demos at the top of every hour. Then bands Golden Retriever and Acid Farm will remind the synth community what it's really all about, the music.
This event is free and open to all. Beer and snacks will be for sale. All donations and proceeds will benefit the Ethos Music Center, an organization promoting music-education for youth in underserved communities. |

Barbara Saunders, The Solo Pro Success Coach
Director, IASECP | Founder, Solo Pro Academy | Host, Solo Pro Radio
Barbara will be speaking on making the âmental upgrade' to the Solo Pro CEO mindset so your business can flourish.
Out-dated beliefsâjust like old software-will hold your business back. It's the cause of most self-sabotaging behaviors Solo Pros deal with. I will share personal experiences with my own businesses and with the Solo Pros I've coached to break out of the J.O.B. mentality so they can build powerful income-generating Solo Pro businesses, charge what they're worth and plot their own course. Please come join a fun 20-minute presentation with Q&A to follow. |

Vision Planning for the Community-Minded
Roll back
| description |
Whether a website, open source project, discussion group, visual art, nonprofit startup, or any kind of work, the main focus of the people who show up will be for the benefit of a group or groups of people (the "community"). Weâll have fun and develop a vision planning community of our own.
Do you not yet have a vision statement written out, or would you like to tweak or revise the one you have? Do you say things like, "I'm hoping someone will want to contribute to my project, it is for the public good after all?" Then this workshop is for you.
7-9pm Monday November 14th, but usually Third Mondays. Past coaches/consultants include: Russ Finkelstein (formerly Idealist Portland), Mark Grimes (NedSpace), Cheri Anderson (executive coach for Nike, startups, and small business owners), Cat Poole (social services and e-textiles). Holly Caughron (green marketing and values-based marketing) and many others will participate this time.
Many others, from UX consultants to sculptors, will be here. Come mentor and be mentored here! Free of charge.
The main questions about your vision: What are your underlying motives? What phrasing describes the reason why youâre doing this?
If related questions come up organically, weâll explore. These questions of vision are where groups like âCollective Agencyâ began.
In 2 hours we will meet-and-greet (go around and say what weâre working on and what weâd like to happen with it), have a brief overview, then invest most of the time in one-on-one coaching in 15 minute sessions.
Please RSVP. Plancast is best, so people can see you're coming. Email [email protected] or tweet @alexlinsker with any questions. |

Galois Tech Talk: Candid experiences from a hardware startup
Roll back

Presented by Eric Migicovsky.
Hardware is hard. At least that's what people always say. Building a hardware startup requires a broad base of technical knowledge, from electronics and manufacturing experience to aesthetic and interface design. But Eric Migicovsky chose to start a hardware company after graduating from engineering because he wanted to see something he designed become a physical reality.
inPulse is a $150 hackable Bluetooth smartwatch. It connects to your smartphone and displays notifications like incoming emails, calls, and calendar alerts right on your wrist. After launching an SDK, 3rd party developers have started to create apps for inPulse.
In his talk, Eric will share some honest stories and anecdotes from various stages of product development. He'll also talk about the costs, timeframes and failure modes of hardware startups. |

Mathematics is a powerful language used in such popular applications as The Known Universe. However, the documentation is notoriously terse.
The Mathematics User Group (MUG) will serve the Portland tech community by bridging the gap between abstract mathematical language and concrete problems that programmers come across in the coding trenches.
This first session will be for coming up with topics of interest, and for working specific problems that come up in our projects. We hope to have future sessions each 3rd Wednesday. |

Introducing:
The TiE Westside Incubator sponsored by Melvin Mark.
Thu Nov 10th 5.00PM to 9.00PM
Opening ceremony: 5.30PM
Jerry Willey, Mayor of Hillsboro and James Mark, CEO of Melvin Mark will be among our distinguished guests. Join us for a ribbon-cutting ceremony, a celebration of the launch and a tour of the incubator space. RSVP required - www.oregon.tie.org
The TiE Westside Incubator is a program designed to accelerate the successful development of the companies of our members. An array of support services, developed by TiE Oregon, will be offered to entrepreneurs renting space in the incubator both on site and through our network of contacts. We will also have pitch sessions where members can pitch their ideas to angel investors. In addition to the space, each person joining the incubator will be assigned an individual Charter Member to work as a contact person and mentor for their startup.
The new space is located at the Sunset Center in Hillsboro. It has been graciously offered and furnished for us by Melvin Mark Properties, especially for TiE members. The set up comes with spacious cubicles, a large conference room, 24 x 7 access, and free high-speed Wi-Fi by Comcast. We are offering free use for the first month, followed by availability on a month-to-month basis. The application form will be placed on the TiE website.
TiE and other supporting organizations will use the area to hold workshops, mentor-mentee meetings, events with speakers and mixers as well. Some of these events will be open to other members and guests.
