description nil → This schedule is from the August launch, but will likely be the same as the October launch. Saturday 07/30 10:30am - 3:00pm Drive to Brothers, Oregon launch site (4.5 hour drive). Saturday 07/30 3:00pm - 7:00pm Set up launch site. Saturday 07/30 Evening Final prep, marshmallow roast, star viewing. Sunday 07/31 8:00am - 12:00pm Final launch prep. Sunday 07/31 12:00pm - 2:00pm Target time for launch! Sunday 07/31 2:00pm - 4:00pm Recover rocket, pack up. Sunday 07/31 4:00pm - Evening Possibly dinner in Bend, return to Portland (4.5 hour drive) Portland's premier rocket club is scheduling a public rocket launch in the Oregon high desert. This is the fourth launch of our third generation rocket. We expect to reach about 14,000 feet and to break the sound barrier! It's a 12 foot tall aluminum and fiberglass rocket that burns almost 15 pounds of fuel! If you've never seen a large(ish) rocket launch this could be your chance! This will be very similar to our last launch in October, but with new flight computer electronics. Read about our last launch here: http://psas.pdx.edu/news/2010-10-17-2/ Brothers is a long way from anywhere, we come in on Saturday and camp. You're welcome to join us. For the less adventurous (there are no amenities, bring your own water and food) you can stay in Bend and drive in -- it's about 45 minutes -- on Sunday morning.

update Calagator::Event 1250461233 Tech Talk: Modular verification of preemptive OS kernels Roll back

description Presented by Alexey Gotsman Most major OS kernels today run on multiprocessor systems and are preemptive: it is possible for a process running in the kernel mode to get descheduled. Existing modular techniques for verifying concurrent code are not directly applicable in this setting: they rely on scheduling being implemented correctly, and in a preemptive kernel, the correctness of the scheduler is interdependent with the correctness of the code it schedules. This interdependency is even stronger in mainstream kernels, such as Linux, FreeBSD or XNU, where the scheduler and processes interact in complex ways. In this talk I will present the first logic that is able to decompose the verification of preemptive multiprocessor kernel code into verifying the scheduler and the rest of the kernel separately, even in the presence of complex interdependencies between the two components present in mainstream kernels. This is joint work with Hongseok Yang (University of Oxford, UK). → Presented by Alexey Gotsman Most major OS kernels today run on multiprocessor systems and are preemptive: it is possible for a process running in the kernel mode to get descheduled.

description The Glass Plate Game, inspired by Hermann Hesse's Glass Bead Game, is essentially a conversation in the trappings of a board game. Hesse's game is alluded to as a The idea is to spark creative and interesting dialog as the players explore connections between ideas against a dynamic mosaic map. There are no winners or losers. There is no order of play. Conversation continues throughout, and anyone can make a move at any time. The end result is an artifact of the conversation. The "game board" makes it easy to follow the twists and turns of the conversation. Co-creator Dunbar Aitkens will be visiting to help lead the session. We will begin with an introduction to the game followed by a period of idea card making to especially bring concepts from players' own projects and interests into the card deck, then launch right into playing. Stay for the 3rd hour, and we'll build Glass Plate Game sets for everyone who'd like one to take with them. The sets contain "idea cards" for composing the mosaic and wooden cubes and colored transparencies for tracking the thread of thought. Come for fun, friends, and stimulating conversation. → The Glass Plate Game, inspired by Hermann Hesse's Glass Bead Game, is essentially a conversation in the trappings of a board game.

Bring yourself and your laptop, and, maybe, a friend or two. We'll provide food and beverages throughout the day. Come prepared with an idea, and get even more out of it: a chance for your team to be placed in the hall of fame as one the 3 best hacks of the day! Register before September 23rd to take advantage of discounted fees. You don't need to register for the main SPLASH conference in order to participate in the Hackathon, but you may consider doing so for a chance to hear Ivan Sutherland (Turing Award winner), Brendan Eich (Mozilla) and much, much more! Platforms and computing time for the Hackathon kindly provided by Amazon AWS. → Hackathons are participatory event. You don't show up to watch or to hang out; you show up to lead or to join a team of other developers to imagine, create, and build something cool and useful in the course of a single day. This may sound impossibly ambitious. It is not. You can get a lot done when you can ignore your inbox and simply focus on the task at hand. The ability to tap in to high-level services certainly helps, as does the fact that everyone shows up expecting to work.

update Calagator::Event 1250461215 Dorkbot Workshop -- e-Textiles Roll back

description More details TBA → Cost: $25 Please bring: - Scissors - A bag or garment to modify – please choose something made of a non-stretch fabric. Dreaming of bike gloves that light up to keep you visible at night, or an awesome illuminated costume? Or maybe you’d like to add a bit of extra sparkle to your living room with a glowing throw pillow… Whatever project you have in mind, if you’re curious about the process of integrating electronics into fabric, this workshop is a great place to start. Shannon Henry and Cat Poole will start by touching on some of the interesting things being developed with eTextile methods and useful resources, then we’ll spend some hands on time laying out a basic LED circuit and sewing it on to fabric using conductive thread. You’ll learn how to convert standard LEDs (and other electronic components) into sew-able ones, and how to use standard textile fastenings like zippers and snaps to switch your project on and off, plus lots of tips on how to make your project easier and make sure it lasts. No prior electronics or sewing experience required. Conductive thread and electronic components will be provided. Register for the workshop here: http://pdxetextile.eventbrite.com/ About the instructors: Shannon Henry loves to make things that blend the science & tech world with art and crafts. She has been crafting with fabric since she could handle safety scissors, and began integrating electronics into her art in 2008. Her eTextile work has been shown in San Francisco, New York, and Vancouver BC. She also develops sewn electronics kits and tutorials, which you can find at her website, Polymathdesignlab.com. Cat Poole is a one woman instigator of perception bending mayhem. Through “Discovering Empowerment Through Creativity” workshops and Upcycled Electronics, she encourages all to defy their programming and void all warranties.

create Calagator::Event 1250461227 Mobile Analytics: Who? What? When? WHERE? Roll back

description nil → Answering questions like, “What percentage of people who hit the home page put something in their shopping cart?” is old hat. But combine analytics with mobile and you get a new set of questions like, “What percentage of people in our store looked up product information on their phone? How can we correlate that behavior with sales?” One of the heralded eight unique abilities of mobile is that “mobile has the most accurate audience measurement”. Yet most businesses and developers have yet to consider how to track mobile usage accurately, let alone how mobile might be able to provide better information. Mobile analytics isn’t solely about the web either. Analytics for native applications can help game developers figure out what levels players are having the most trouble on and determine which promotions increase in-app purchases most. On the highly competitive playing field of mobile, any small edge can make a difference. We’re excited to have an expert panel this month to talk about Mobile Analytics. Frankly, you’re not going to find another opportunity to get such a diverse set of opinions on mobile analytics. You won’t want to miss it! <b>New this Month: In Depth Afternoon Sessions</b> We love getting great speakers, but we never seem to have enough time with them, especially when they are on a panel and is made worse when speakers travel a long way to present at our meeting. So this month we’re trying something different. In addition to the normal evening meeting, each panelist will also have a session in the late afternoon where they can talk more in-depth about their products and how they can be used. The sessions start at 3 pm and last thirty minutes each. Space is limited so sign up now to attend. http://mobileportland.com/events/mobile-analytics-depth-sessions <b>About the Panelists</b> <b>Eric Rickson, Director of Mobile Analytics, WebTrends</b> As Director of Mobile Analytics at Webtrends, Eric Rickson is responsible for driving product strategy and evangelism for Webtrends measurement solutions for mobile.

Eric brings over 11 years of experience as a digital analytics professional working with brands such as Coca-cola, Wells Fargo, Visa, Microsoft, and Nike. <b>Michael “Luni” Libes, Founder & CTO, Ground Truth</b> Luni is a serial entrepreneur and mobile industry visionary who has participated in five start-ups, four of which he founded, during the past eighteen years.

description nil → Are you have a mobile app or website? Then you need to make time on Monday afternoon for the Mobile Analytics In Depth sessions. See we love getting great speakers, but we never seem to have enough time with them. Each panelist gets at most seven minutes at the beginning to talk about what their company and product does before the panel discussion begins. And of course the panel discussion is going to be enlightening, but it is going to focus on the big picture of mobile analytics which may not be as helpful if you’re trying to figure out the nitty gritty details of how to track your mobile app or website. Frankly, when you’ve got Flurry, Ground Truth and WebTrends in the house, how can you resist the opportunity to pick their brains more? The sessions will start at 3 pm. Each speaker will have 30 minutes with some time after for questions. We’ll wrap up around 5 pm giving you time to grab a bite to eat or you can stick around and mingle with the other attendees and speakers. We’ll start up the normal meeting around 6 pm like usual. So come by Mobile Portland early on Monday for this more intimate and in-depth look at Flurry, Ground Control, and WebTrends and stick around for the main event later in the evening. <b>When</b> Monday, August 22nd Mobile Analytics In Depth Sessions: 3 - 5 pm Mobile Portland Meeting w/ Analytics Panel: 6 pm <b>RSVP</b> Please RSVP for the afternoon sessions. http://mobileportland.com/events/mobile-analytics-depth-sessions Please RSVP separately for the evening Mobile Portland meeting. http://mobileportland.com/events/mobile-analytics-who-what-when-where <b>Cost</b> Both events are free.

update Calagator::Event 1250461220 Lessons from managing way too many databases at Facebook Roll back

description Rob Wultsch, a recent addition to Facebook's Database Operations team, will compare and contrast the Facebook deployment with his previous work with another large deployment of open source databases. In this db-agnostic talk, he'll go over: the bizarre becoming ordinary, the many types of infrastructure that do not scale and what does and does not work when building a DBA team. Before joining Facebook, Rob worked for a very large hosting company as a database administrator and a newspaper as a web developer. In his free time he enjoys riding his motorcycle and bicycle and fantasizes about moving to Portland. As always, beer afterwards at the Lucky Lab.

create Calagator::Event 1250461221 Agile Metrics that Matter Roll back

description nil → Good business decisions require relevant and valid information. Deciding what information is relevant can be challenging – especially as organizations transition to Agile development and project management methods. This presentation will explore ways to use the Goal-Question-Metric (GQM) technique to inform good decisions by identifying some relevant reporting measures when applying the Agile scrum methodology. Agile teams value working software over comprehensive documentation. Teams deliver working software in short, iterative releases of business value rather than larger releases of longer duration. This increases the need to make quick decisions and the need for relevant and timely information. GQM provides a goal-driven way to identify the information our stakeholders really need. This presentation will walk through using GQM, look at examples of applying it, review some relevant Agile measures and discuss relevant measures for different stakeholders. Audience participation is expected.
