PDX Machine Learning

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.) |

<p><b><a href="http://bit.ly/1ScJoTc">The Scientific Method of Troubleshooting</a>*</b></p> <p>For software engineers, troubleshooting is one of the toughest and most important skills to develop. When problems arise, a beginning developer's first instincts are to panic and head to StackOverflow. Rather than rushing to deploy quick fixes, it's important to identify the root cause.</p> <p>Biologists, chemists, and physicists increase understanding about the world by applying the logical steps of the scientific method to discover solutions to complex problems. Like scientists, developers can learn troubleshooting skills by treating each problem like a mini "science" experiment.</p> <p>In this talk we'll explore how using the scientific method can lead to greater understanding and more viable solutions to complex problems.</p> <p>
<img src="http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/2/7/3/600_440297011.jpeg"></p> <p><i>Blithe Rocher is a software engineer based in Oakland, California. She works for <a href="https://www.fastly.com/">Fastly</a> as part of the core engineering team to build the customer-facing Configuration API. Prior to becoming a developer, she received a PhD in physical chemistry from the University of Southern California.</i></p> <p><i> Additionally, Blithe is passionate about teaching other women how to become developers. She helped organize Rails Girls ATL, a monthly meetup for women interested in learning about programming.</i></p> <p>
<b>Details</b></p> <p>*note: no need to RSVP via Eventbrite</p> <p><i><b>› Doors will open at 5:30 for a 30-minute networking happy half-hour! The food, beer and drinks are provided by Bellagios and New Relic. </b></i><i><b>The presentation will begin right at 6p.</b></i></p> <p>
› FutureTalks is brought to you by <a href="http://www.newrelic.com/">New Relic</a> in collaboration with <a href="http://www.techoregon.org/">TAO</a>.</p> |

Who: Jennifer Rondeau<br>
What: Back to the Future: A brief history of software documentation<br>
Where: PSU, 1930 SW 4th Ave. Room FAB 86-01 (Lower Level)<br>
When: Thursday, August 6th, 2015 at 7pmv
Why: The pursuit of technology freedom<br>
Stream: http://pdxlinux.org/live
The world of software development rightly demands an emphasis on the new and the innovative -- on doing things differently from how they’ve been done. The assumption is that newer is (almost) always better. But if we look only to the present and the future, we risk reinventing the wheel, failing to understand that we are all built on tradition, failing to learn everything that we could from the past.
This talk shows how documentarians can find inspiration in the past, build on it, and move forward. It tells some of these stories, and shows what they meant in historical context:
* The pre-history and dawn of software documentation -- how technical writers were hired, how they worked, what they made, the challenges they faced, and how their solutions continue to inform the work we do today
* The much longer history of teaching engineers to write documentation
* Efforts to make technical writing into an independent profession
Many will head to the Lucky Lab at 1945 NW Quimby St. after the meeting.

* The pre-history and dawn of software documentation -- how technical writers were hired, how they worked, what they made, the challenges they faced, and how their solutions continue to inform the work we do today
* The much longer history of teaching engineers to write documentation
* Efforts to make technical writing into an independent profession
Many will head to the Lucky Lab at 1945 NW Quimby St. after the meeting.

How the heck does this hackathon work?
At a domain-driven hackathon, all of the teams are told a single premium domain name at the beginning of the event to build something for. The teams then have two hours to come up with a functioning site inspired by that domain. Which ever team builds the most creative and funny idea for the domain wins.
The winning team wins the premium domain up for grabs, and additional prizes from our sponsors such as swag and product. |

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 [Metaprogramming Ruby 2: Program Like the Ruby Pros](https://pragprog.com/book/ppmetr2/metaprogramming-ruby-2) by Paolo Perrotta. This week we will discuss Chapter 4 and 5.
Please come having read the chapters and ready to discuss it.
Pizza will be provided! |

Portland Ruby Brigade monthly meeting

We'll have pizza & beer starting at 6pm, so stop by early if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations.
# PRESENTATIONS at 7pm

After presentations we'll have more socializing time.
# Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month!
#
ARRIVING BY BIKE? Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 29th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 29th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking.
<em>ABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade, also known as pdxruby and pdx.rb, is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland, Oregon area. The group welcomes all programmers interested in the language and its implementations, tools, libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails. The group has been meeting since August 2002 for presentations, demos and discussions. Every month 35-75 people come together to share their knowledge, projects and enthusiasm for Ruby. If you'd like to present or have a topic you'd like discussed, please post to the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/pdxruby">mailing list</a>. The group usually meets on the first Tuesday of the month, "Ruby Tuesday" -- see you there!

### Tim Krajcar - kenny_g.rb: Making Ruby Write Smooth Jazz
For too long, computers have been shut out of the red-hot music-to-listen-to-while-relaxing-in-the-bathtub genre. Today, that all changes. Our smooth-jazz-as-a-service startup is primed to disrupt this stale industry. In this talk we'll introduce the basic protocols of digital music and take a whirlwind tour of musical harmonic theory. We'll survey some Ruby tools that make noise and we'll dig deep into using Ruby to generate beautiful piano music with audience-selected chords. It will all culminate in a showdown between man and machine to decide the fate of the musical universe as our program battles a real live musician.

Elixir Games PDX
Roll back
| description |

We've spent a little time over the last few sessions covering some basics of OTP (the Open Telecom Platform). The standard library and set of patterns that Elixir inherits from Erlang.
This time around we'll dive into something a bit more unique and powerful about Elixir itself. Macros! Macros, macros everywhere.
For the newcomers, the "Games" format is designed to create a bit of friendly competition and is accessible for all ranges of experience; beginners and pros alike.
If you'd like to take a look at the previous sessions' exercises feel free to check them out here: https://github.com/elixir-pdx/, some submitted solutions are available on non-master branches.
Early in this series we'll be focusing mostly on solving problems in a functional paradigm, and as the series continues over time we'll move more and more toward Elixir's differentiators; Erlang interop, hygienic macros, & OTP patterns.
If all that read like gibberish to you, don't worry you don't have to know any of that jargon, and by the time you do everything will already make sense. Because we'll introduce ideas and concepts in a way that will help you understand those things conceptually before you ever need a weird name for them.
Food and drinks will be provided. There will also be small desk fodder prizes for the winning team.
Please make sure you come with a computer to work on and have Elixir pre-installed locally or in a VM and ready to go.
http://elixir-lang.org/install.html
Special thanks to my friends Jeff Weiss, Russell Mull and Puppet Labs, ‘the leader in IT automation’, for hosting us. |

Want to know what that is? Join us and find out!
