create Calagator::Event 1250459641 The Real Life Social Network Roll back

description nil The focus of this talk isn't on Facebook, or Twitter, or Buzz - but rather how current research understands social interactions work in the real work. Specific technologies will only be mentioned as to how they all get it wrong - and more importantly - how you don't have to. You won't want to miss this. It isn't another "Social network buzzword Twitter buzz buzzzzzz lol" talk - but real interesting research in human behavior with real implications on future UX design. I'll be going over mostly the research presentation by Paul Adams, who works as the UX research lead for Google's social initiatives. EDIT: Apparently today he accepted a job at Facebook.

create Calagator::Event 1250459640 Pitch Club Roll back

description nil Want to practice your startup pitch in front of people who've done it before? Crave the harsh criticism of your peers? Need the validation of seeing what works and what doesn't in other pitches? Bring your 3 minute pitch. Put your name in a hat and if it gets picked, you're on. Powerpoints optional - just pitch. Then, answer questions and listen to painfully honest feedback from a panel of so-called experts. The first rule of Pitch Club is you have to be ready to pitch. No teams, no moral support, no looky-loos. More rules as we think of them. FAQ: Q: Who are these so-called experts and what are they going to do to me? A: Your pitch will be evaluated by tech entrepreneurs who have pitched and gotten funded. They are your superiors. Q: Do I need to send you my pitch beforehand? A: No. If you have a slide deck, bring your laptop or USB drive - we'll have a projector set up for you to use. Q: What about NDAs? Someone's going to steal my idea! A: There are no NDAs - use your best judgment about what to talk about and what not to. Also, remember the first rule of fight club - don't talk about fight club. We're all on the honor system here. Q: My pitch is more than 3 minutes - can I have more time? A: No.

description *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. *Note* - this meeting is once again on the third Wednesday instead of the fourth, due to a conflict with Macworld.

description nil Meeting agenda: - TBD Hey everyone, The January gathering of the open source GIS group is on for 6:30-8pm at Open Sourcery on Jan. 26. Hope you all had a great holiday. The meeting is byob but we usually wander to a nearby watering hole afterwards. - MapBox - creating custom maps in the cloud. Sara is bringing someone involved with its development to show some things off. I've been interested in their mb-tiles standard and tools for supporting offline maps for a while. - GeoNode - version 1.0 of this platform is out from the OpenGeo folks and it's starting to pick up steam. An intriguing blend of Geoserver, GeoNetwork, GeoExt and OpenLayers with a thick layer of Django to hold it all together. A legitimate open-source SDI solution is evolving... - Becoming an official OSGEO chapter, the quest continues - FOSS4G 2011 in Denver. Sep 12-16. You're going right? Call for presentations opens in Feb! OpenSourcery 1636 NW Lovejoy St. Portland, OR 97209 [Or, if you prefer: 45.529986, -122.688206]

update Calagator::Event 1250459626 IEEE OREGON Virtual Worlds Symposium Roll back

description Co-sponsored by: National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research, NCRAR Goto: http://ewh.ieee.org/mu/oregon-ims-css/ for detailed symposium info. In the context of this symposium, a virtual world will be defined as a computer-based simulated 3D virtual environment in which users, taking the form of avatars visible to others graphically, inhabit, create and use objects, and interact with each other. Although, the usage of virtual worlds for entertainment purposes might be generally understood, the increased usage of virtual worlds for education, business, professional and commercial applications is not yet well understood. The purpose of this symposium is introduce 1) present tutorials and examples of usage of a selected virtual social environment, Second Life®, which is being used by the IEEE® professional organization to educate, communicate, and promote membership collaboration, present examples of Second Life being used in a wider range of engineering fields such as architecture, mechanical design, corporate group meetings, 2) present a keynote address by an IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Society Distinguished Lecturer on research topics in the area of virtual social environments and multi-player gaming, and, 3) host a “geekfest” event with presentations demonstrating wide-ranging universe of virtual worlds, applications, tools, and situations. It is anticipated the symposium will be jamb-packed with entertaining multimedia presentations, fun for attendees and fun for presenters. The symposium will be considered a success if those attending leave with greater knowledge, deeper understanding, and lots of thoughts on how virtual world technology is, could, or might be applied in our world. Finally, it is hoped the symposium will help foster continued cross-generation, cross-discipline fellowship and learning on this topic. Speaker(s): Dr. Shervin Shirmohammadi, Agenda: Goto: http://ewh.ieee.org/mu/oregon-ims-css/ for detailed symposium info. Part 0 (4pm to 4:45pm) Introduction to the selected virtual world, Second Life. Not recorded. Basic introduction to Second Life. For those who have little idea what it is, how it could be used, or how to use it. Includes PBS Digital Nation, parts 6&7, Second Life introductory multimedia. Part 1 (5pm to 6:15pm) Student presentations: IEEE Second Life and Engineering applications. Recorded. [six] 10 minute presentations total. Two general types of student presentations: • Tutorials on Second Life- How Second Life is being used by the IEEE professional organization and how to use it. Topics might include but not limited to: what are IEEE Second Life islands, how to enter and use them, extend them, etc. How is IEEE currently using their real estate in Second Life. What is the Second Life grid and mainland. What are other tools available in Second Life. Development and acquisition of objects and real estate in Second Life to create image, personality, establish presence, and conduct one’s “self”. • Demonstrations of engineering in Second Life- Demonstrations of other significant engineering usages of Second Life model. Examples might include designing products or buildings using simulation. Break (6:15pm to 7:00pm) Dinner break. Complementary, self-serve food buffet in symposium area. Partakers encouraged to drop a few cans in foodbank barrels. Part 2 (7:00pm to 8:30pm) Keynote: Distinguished Lecturer, Dr. Shervin Shirmohammadi. Recorded. Sponsored by IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Society Distinguished Lecturer Program: Distinguished Lecturer, Dr. Shervin Shirmohammadi, speaking on research topics relating to virtual social environments and multiplayer gaming.

Demonstrations and examples on not only Second Life but other virtual worlds being applied in areas which might include engineering, professional, commercial, entertainment, industry, education, communication, social networking, and beyond. Intended to potentially broaden the discussion to a wider range of ideas the virtual world technology is or could be effectively applied to. Shutdown (10:45pm) Pick the place up and pack it all up. Clear out (11pm). Cafeteria open on 3rd Floor, open 24 hours! Location: Room: Auditorium Bldg: Oregon Health & Science University, OHSU (wikimapia.org/15251732/OHSU-Auditorium) Marquam Hill Campus 3181 SW Sam Jackson Park Rd. Portland 97239-3098 Co-sponsored by: National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research, NCRAR Goto: http://ewh.ieee.org/mu/oregon-ims-css/ for detailed symposium info. In the context of this symposium, a virtual world will be defined as a computer-based simulated 3D virtual environment in which users, taking the form of avatars visible to others graphically, inhabit, create and use objects, and interact with each other. Although, the usage of virtual worlds for entertainment purposes might be generally understood, the increased usage of virtual worlds for education, business, professional and commercial applications is not yet well understood. The purpose of this symposium is introduce 1) present tutorials and examples of usage of a selected virtual social environment, Second Life®, which is being used by the IEEE® professional organization to educate, communicate, and promote membership collaboration, present examples of Second Life being used in a wider range of engineering fields such as architecture, mechanical design, corporate group meetings, 2) present a keynote address by an IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Society Distinguished Lecturer on research topics in the area of virtual social environments and multi-player gaming, and, 3) host a “geekfest” event with presentations demonstrating wide-ranging universe of virtual worlds, applications, tools, and situations. It is anticipated the symposium will be jamb-packed with entertaining multimedia presentations, fun for attendees and fun for presenters. The symposium will be considered a success if those attending leave with greater knowledge, deeper understanding, and lots of thoughts on how virtual world technology is, could, or might be applied in our world. Finally, it is hoped the symposium will help foster continued cross-generation, cross-discipline fellowship and learning on this topic.

description Co-sponsored by: OHSU Department of Biomedical Engineering In the last two years, the robotic research community seems to consider that 2D laser-based SLAM is a solved problem. I will not contradict the fact that 2D laser SLAM has reached a maturity that has allowed it to break out of the lab into commercial applications. In this presentation, I will present my experience testing our SLAM algorithm on commercial projects or how our clients are pushing the limit of our algorithms. For example, we had never mapped building over 1 million square feet or all seven floors of the same buildings.
