create Calagator::Event 1250459490 Galois Tech Talk: The Rubinius Virtual Machine Roll back

description nil → Presented by Brian Ford Ruby is a highly dynamic, strongly-typed programming language created by Yukihiro Matsumoto in 1993 and first released in 1995. It borrows from Smalltalk, Lisp, and Perl. Ruby has single inheritance, mixins, and syntax features like omission of parentheses that make it well-suited for embedded domain-specific languages. Ruby was popularized by the Ruby on Rails web development framework. The Rubinius project began as an implementation of the Ruby programming language roughly following the design of the Smalltalk-80 virtual machine described in the Blue book (“Smalltalk-80: the language and its implementation” by Adele Goldberg and David Robson). We have extended the initial implementation based on modern research in virtual machines, garbage collectors, and just-in-time (JIT) compilers. Rubinius currently features a stack-oriented opcode virtual machine, generational garbage collector, and LLVM-based JIT compiler. Most of the Ruby core library and the bytecode compiler are written in Ruby. We will examine the main features of Rubinius and take a deeper dive into some aspects of the virtual machine and JIT compiler. We will also look at possible future work to address memory load, startup, and suitability for using Rubinius in Android phones. If there is time and interest, we will discuss implementing programming languages besides Ruby on Rubinius.

description nil → *Note* - this meeting is once again on the third Wednesday instead of the fourth, due to a conflict with Macworld. We are going to try again to cover Xcode 4, with the assumption that there will be a stable preview or release available by January. Please note that unless Xcode 4 has been publicly released by meeting time, you will need to be covered under the Apple NDA in order to attend this meeting. It's pretty easy to do; just join either the iPhone or Mac Developer Program. You can join for free, and it's a good thing to do anyway if you're doing this kind of work. We will head out afterwards for beer and discussion.

update Calagator::Event 1250459486 Beer and Blog Roll back

description Fridays from 4pm-6pm+ Portland bloggers meet up at the Green Dragon to help each other with their blogs. Good times are had by all. → The website says... "Beer and Blog is about bloggers helping bloggers over beers. It is a meet up that takes place every Friday from 4pm until at least 6pm at the Green Dragon in Portland, OR. It started as a means to swap information among peers in the Portland tech scene. Now it has grown into a weekly happy hour for Portland area bloggers. Sometimes we work. Sometimes we discuss. Sometimes we go on a field trip. But we mostly play and celebrate the transition from the work week to the week end. It’s the kind of place that is fun to network in, kindle ideas into side projects, and announce a release." ... but it really has very little to do with blogging.

Most of us have a few tech manuals lying about that we never use, but that others would find useful. Many of us need a new tech book/s but have not yet picked one up, for one reason or another. Here’s your chance to find unwanted books a good home, or to find a useful manual or three for yourself. Here’s what happens: Those with unwanted books will bring them to the group and leave them in a common area. Then it’s just a matter of everyone helping themselves. You don’t have to bring any manuals to leave with manuals, and vice versa. Books left over at the end will be taken to Powell’s Technical Books for their freebie bin, or possibly to Free Geek.</li> <li>Topics<br> - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavior_Driven_Development">Behavior Driven Development</a> with <a href="http://everzet.com/Behat/">Bhat</a></li> </ul>

Though we have orders of magnitude more power at our fingertips, real interactivity is still illusive - but it need not be. Interactive applications have been a multi-decade goal. Flex is yet another in a long history of frameworks for delivering interactive applications, but technology alone does not an interactive application make. You need to understand the problems, existing solutions and techniques for solving the problem, and the user of the application. Fast is never enough, because the complexity will grow until the app is not fast enough and pain limits what the user can do, underscoring the perception of your app - what the pain prevents me from doing vs. what the lack of pain enables me to do. Scaling is the name of the game - let's talk about bigger problems than you can imagine. Speakers Roy Hall has been writing interactive graphic applications for more than 30 years. Trained in civil engineering and architecture, he started writing 3D interactive apps for stadium roof design on E&S PSII's in the late 70's.

create Calagator::Event 1250459466 TED Tuesdays at The Globe Roll back

description nil → Every Tuesday we show 3 TED Talks on our wall sized screen organized around a common theme. This weeks theme: The Mind <b>Gero Miesenboeck reengineers a brain</b> In the quest to map the brain, many scientists have attempted the incredibly daunting task of recording the activity of each neuron. Gero Miesenboeck works backward -- manipulating specific neurons to figure out exactly what they do, through a series of stunning experiments that reengineer the way fruit flies perceive light. <b>Dan Gilbert asks, Why are we happy?</b> Harvard psychologist Dan Gilbert says our beliefs about what will make us happy are often wrong -- a premise he supports with intriguing research, and explains in his accessible and unexpectedly engaging talk. <b>VS Ramachandran on your mind</b> Vilayanur Ramachandran tells us what brain damage can reveal about the connection between celebral tissue and the mind, using three startling delusions as examples.

update Calagator::Event 1250457465 Funding Innovative Research: SBIR/STIR Conference Roll back

description Small business is the heart of Oregon's economy, but during these difficult economic times it can be a serious challenge to find funding to support even the most promising companies. We cannot afford to let innovative ideas fall by the wayside because small business owners can't access the money they need to perform research and develop and commercialize new products. At more than $2.3 billion per year, the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) programs comprise the largest source of federal support for technological innovation in the private sector. Awardees can receive critical support for projects from early stage R&D through commercialization. Please join me and other small business owners, researchers, venture capital representatives, and others at a one-day conference with key SBIR/STTR program managers to learn more about opportunities for funding your small business and to discuss upcoming changes to the SBIR/STTR program. Congressman David Wu presents: Funding Innovative Research: Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs When: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 Where:OHSU South Waterfront 3303 SW Bond Avenue, Portland What:Panel discussion and breakout sessions with key SBIR/STTR program managers Presenters from agencies including the National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Department of Energy, Department of Defense, and others will discuss how to develop a successful application for SBIR/STTR funding. Topics will include: ·What are each agency's priorities for research topics? ·What criteria does each agency use to select awardees? ·What can applicants do to make their proposals more competitive? The afternoon session will include opportunities to talk in small groups with program managers, past and current SBIR grantees, and prospective applicants. I hope you will take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn more about this important funding resource for small technology businesses here in Oregon. If you plan to attend, please RSVP to Kelly Brooks at kelly.brooks "at" mail.house.gov or 503-326-2901. → Small business is the heart of Oregon's economy, but during these difficult economic times it can be a serious challenge to find funding to support even the most promising companies.
