Reading through technical books in a group is a great way to learn. You can stay motivated by reading together; better apply what you are reading by actively communicating it, as well as hearing others perspectives that will help you better understand the book. Even if you're a more experienced developer it's a great way to keep your skill sharp and share your wisdom and experience. If none of that is convincing just come and have fun with fellow ruby developers!
We are starting a new book [Working With Ruby Threads](http://www.jstorimer.com/products/working-with-ruby-threads) by Jesse Storimer. We will be discussing chapters 3-5.
Please come having read the chapters and ready to discuss it.
Pizza will be provided!
##Book Summary
*Threading and concurrency are hot topics in the Ruby community.*
*Want to join the conversation?*
*You've probably heard people around you talking mutexes, race conditions, or the GIL. Do you wonder what the heck they're talking about?*
*This book is a gentle introduction to these concepts and will give you the knowledge you need to become your teams resident concurrency expert.*

PDX Machine Learning
Roll back
| description |
This first meeting will be primarily to "test the waters" for a monthly Machine Learning meeting in Portland.
The idea for this monthly meeting is to be a language agnostic forum for discussing topics in Machine Learning such as (but not limited to):
* Neural Networks & Deep learning
* Neuro Evolutional methods like NEAT
* Reinforcement learning
* Decision Tree learning
* Bayesian Learning
* Genetic Algorithms & Genetic Programming
Applications of machine learning would also make good topics.
Is there much machine learning going on in Portland? Let's find out.
(I realize there is already a Portland Data Science meetup, but I tend to think of Machine Learning as being distinct from data science at this point.) |

Join us at the next PDX Design Research Group meeting on Wednesday, September 16th, 2015!
<b>Teach a Grandmother, Change the World (R&D for Illiterate Populations)</b>, presented by Elena Moon and Jos Vaught, Osage Orange
<i>How do you design a tablet app for poor, rural users who have never handled a digital device? What do you do when they speak no common language, and lack the ability to read in their own?</i>
Last year Elena and Jos traveled to Rajasthan, India, to learn from an international group of grandmothers who were learning to become solar engineers, despite a lack of literacy. Each had traveled from a different part of the world to participate in the 6-month Solar Grandmother program, hosted by India’s Barefoot College, a 40-year-old grassroots institution dedicated to helping marginalized people build skills that bring solutions. After graduation, these women would bring light back to their villages -- light that means night classes for children, reduced danger from assault and rape, and less need for kerosene lanterns, improving the local air quality. In many cases, these Solar Grandmothers become respected leaders, presenting a model for women’s empowerment to the rest of their community.
This project focused on the challenges graduates faced upon returning to their villages. Since the necessary solar equipment can take months to arrive, graduates can struggle to maintain the skills they learned, often with little initial support from their communities. Osage Orange wanted to learn whether a digital tablet could help ease the transition, by extending and maintaining the skills learned during training. Over the course of three weeks, Osage Orange led a team of designers in interviewing and observing 60 Solar Grandmothers and their Barefoot teachers, both in class and back in their villages. Elena and Jos will walk us through that process, and share what they found.
<i>Osage Orange, a human-centered design boutique based in Portland, Oregon, works with a variety of clients, from fortune 50s to startups, helping businesses research, conceptualize, and design elegant, compelling products. They work on complex problems across many industries, whether it’s an education platform for illiterate, rural poor communities, or a spaceship interface for NASA astronauts. Increasingly, their work focuses on projects which promote positive social and environmental outcomes.,</i>
<i>Elena Moon is a User Experience Consultant and the founder of Osage Orange. She has been doing a mix of research and design for the last 15 years and particularly enjoys socially and environmentally conscious projects. Her work has supported community agriculture, open source education, home energy conservation, and the deaf-blind community. She was a recipient of the Thomas J. Watson fellowship to conduct anthropology work with indigenous peoples in Australia and Papua New Guinea and has been involved with Portland's Interaction Design Association for many years, leading it from 2012-2014.</i>
<i>Jos Vaught is the lead User Experience Designer of Osage Orange. He has a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a master’s in Applied Linguistics. From 2012-2014 he served as a co-organizer for Portland’s Interactive Design Association.</i>
Date: Wednesday, September 16th, 2015 Time: Networking 6:30 – 7:00 pm, presentation 7:00 – 8:00 pm Location: Connective DX

Presentation Information
Host Card Emulation for NFC Mobile Payment in the Cloud
Presented by: Karl J. Weaver, Newport Technologies
Security on HCE NFC Mobile Payment smartphones has been an issue and with the use of tokenization, these issues have been minimized, although further debate and apparent limitations remain. Also some believe the TEE or even eSE could play a role in security of HCE NFC along with biometric “Touch ID” authentication. A secure payment system requires a holistic approach encompassing end-to-end encryption, tokenization and compliance with both existing and emerging standards, including PCI and EMV. The key is use of NFC SIM cards and HCE are not mutually exclusive, and you’ll see hybrid designed NFC Payment smartphones emerge. Karl will explore exactly what Host Card Emulation is, where it came from, also a discussion on Apple and Android “Pay” developments, including Samsung and Softcard.
Karl J. Weaver is an OEM/ODM mobile device ecosystem and business development executive/rainmaker for Near Field Communications, mobile (wallet) payments and TEE embedded mobile device security ecosystems. He is a globally-trained, bilingual Mandarin Chinese speaking senior mobility executive with vast experience selling wireless & mobile device technologies from both sides of the Pacific Rim to the global OEM/ODM handset/tablet PC ecosystem supply chain. He recently spent 5 years working in China for Gemalto as Rainmaker for design in of embedded Mobile NFC Payments & TEE security technologies to the OEM Smartphone/Tablet PC ecosystem.

eBay Tech Tuesdays: "To Sell or Not to Sell? That is the Question."
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
Happy September!
This month's Tech Tuesday is just a few weeks away, and we're shifting gears a bit and bringing the focus back around to the entrepreneur.
During the course of starting, running, and growing a business, almost every founder will ask themselves at least once, but more likely numerous times, “Should I sell?” And then they will go back and forth tossing around all the reasons why or why not, usually losing a lot of sleep and sanity in the process.
For September's Tech Tuesday we've put together a panel of local founders who answered that hard question. You'll hear about why they chose to sell or not, if they’d make the same decision if given the opportunity again, if they'd do anything differently next time, and more.
Panelists
· James Keller, former co-founder of Small Society which was purchased by Walmart Labs in 2011
· Josh Reich, CEO & co-founder Simple, which was purchased by BBVA in 2014

Moderator: Sara Morrow, Talent Partner, ebay Marketplaces
Not only do I expect this will be a very interesting – and entertaining - evening of insights, experiences, and shoulda/coulda/wouldas... but what you learn might help you stay a little more sane and rested when it comes time to ask yourself, "To sell or not sell?"
RSVP here: http://bit.ly/1OboEbC
See you on the 29th!
--
Doors open at 5:45pm and we’ll have pizza & sodas for you. Presentation starts at 6:30pm. |

Want More Women in Tech? Understand the Dynamics!

<p>The tech industry is clamoring for more women. Despite many efforts, the numbers haven’t changed much. Why?</p> <p>All too often, diversity initiatives are designed without understanding the underlying dynamics.</p> <p>At <b>Navigate IT’s 1st allies event (men, this is your chance to join us)</b>, you will have the opportunity to be involved in a groundbreaking conversation on gender dynamics in tech. Be ready to share your perspective!</p> <p>To prepare:</p> <p>• Think about what is great about being a man or a woman in tech.</p> <p>• Articulate some of the challenges you face related to your gender.</p> <p>• Notice the gender dynamics in your workplace.</p> <p>We will use a polarity map from the Integral framework to bring some of these dynamics to light. We will discover that ordinary aspects of our work lives, things we take for granted or don’t think about, can be obstacles - even with our best intentions.</p> <p>Expect a rich and engaging conversation in a safe space.</p> <p>You will:</p> <p>• Have the opportunity to share your perspective and hear others’ perspectives.</p> <p>• Gain a greater understanding of how gender dynamics influence your teams.</p> <p>• Leave with new insight to help you navigate diversity. </p> <p>This is a rare opportunity to have a positive, honest dialog about important issues in the tech industry. It will be led by Terra Soma, co-founder of Navigate IT and Certified Integral Facilitator®. Her roles in tech have ranged from ecommerce analyst to software project manager. She now facilitates collaboration for tech teams.</p> <p>Terra will be joined by Zachary Feder, a former associate with LionHeart Consulting. He is well trained in group dynamics and conflict resolution and is a longtime student of Integral Theory.</p> <p><br><b><i>What your peers are saying about Terra and Zachary:</i></b></p> <p>"I have rarely been in a public environment where I felt both supported and challenged. Most of these engagements end up either being too wishy-washy, or too confrontational. Terra and Zachary are a perfect yin-yang, neither of whom comes across as a cliche based on their gender, what we might think of as traditional feminine or masculine qualities. They both modeled all of them. Having that as their Way of Being made it all the easier for me to allow my own range of emotions to play out in the session. Comfortable, worthwhile, evolving. People say events "changed their life," and it can seem overstated, but I found out things about myself I was never able to put into words before, and yes, that changed my life."<br>- Joe B., Technical Trainer</p> <p><b><i>What your peers are saying about Navigate IT</i></b></p> <p>“Best 2 hours I have spent all week.” – Strength’s Lab participant</p> <p><b>Event Schedule</b></p> <p>6:00-6:30 food and networking</p> <p>6:30-8:00 discussion</p> <p><b><br></b> <b>If you want to sign up for the event without joining the Meetup Group, you can register at </b><a href="http://www.somacollaborations.com/navigate/"><b>Soma Collaborations</b></a><b>.</b></p> |
