Talk about "Better Stories, Better Technologies"

Note: We'll give away one free 3-day pass to OSCON 2015, good July 22-24. Sign up when you arrive, and we'll raffle off the pass after the talk is complete!
********
If you attended the Write The Docs 2015 Conference, you know the importance of User Stories, and how they lead to more readable documentation.
On July 14 (Bastille Day!), Amelia Abreu will give us her take on the User Story, when she talks about:
* Better Stories, Better Technologies:
*********
Technologies all have stories behind them, some we hear, some we don’t. From the genesis of a product idea, to the way that technologists characterize their work, to documentation, to startup origin stories. Development frameworks operationalize stories as a way to build features. Documentation tells a story, and speaks to certain stories about our users.
How can documentarians think critically about the way that we tell stories? How do we confront times when some stories get told over others? How do we talk about our successes, and how do we not talk about our failures? Whose stories get heard: how do women, people of color, disabled people, and “non-technical” workers get left out of the stories we hear?
In this talk, I’ll explore some of the ways that stories and storytelling are used in building technologies. I’ll share what I’ve found in looking at stories in technology, and propose some practical solutions for telling better stories and using them in building products. |

AgilePDX Dntn Pub Lunch: Making the Business and Technical Case for Pair Programming and TDD
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
This June Cotten Blackwell's Agile team started a 3-month pilot adoption of pair programming and TDD – almost exactly as practiced during Coderetreats (http://coderetreat.org/facilitating/structure-of-a-coderetreat), which they used to kick off their pilot and can’t recommend strongly enough.
So exactly how did they get management and team approval (and active support) for TDD/pair programming?
Well, they are definitely blessed with Product Managers (and Directors) who are very big-picture, and highly open to persuasive business cases grounded in data and metrics. But, they think that *how* they made the business and technical case for pair programming and TDD is worth sharing – and that much of it might be highly applicable to *your* team.
Bio:
Cotten Blackwell is an engineering manager, Agile champion and Swift developer with over 15 years experience leading, coaching and mentoring software development teams. For the last four years he’s been doing that at Huron Consulting Group, where he’s known for his focus on improving team health and employee development and retention. Cotten has driven continuous improvements in Huron’s mastery of Agile and Lean Startup fundamentals, and has leveraged multiple software teams to more consistently, more deeply engage in risk identification, analysis and mitigation.

eBay Tech Tuesdays: Accessibility Part 1: Creating an Inclusive Workplace
Roll back
| description |
This month's Tech Tuesday will be Part 1 of a two-part series on accessibility for people with disabilities. The focus of the evening will be on how employers and employees can work together to create an environment where every member of the team can thrive.
Our speakers will be sharing their personal and professional insights on accessibility in the workplace. Please understand that this evening isn’t about policies and procedures, although chances are good you’ll learn something on that front. Instead, it's designed as an opportunity to have conversations about attitudes, perspectives, and stigmas about disabilities.
Speakers:
• Cory Klatnik, Data Center Social Media & Community Manager, Intel
• Incight.org
• TBA
Part 2 will be happening Tuesday, August 25th. That Meetup will be focused on accessibility as it pertains to developing technologies, websites, apps, and more. Please save the date!
Both evenings we will have an ASL interpreter during the presentations and Q&A.
As usual, doors open at 5:45pm and we’ll have pizza & sodas for you.
Presentation starts at 6:30pm.
We look forward to seeing you! |

Speakers:
• Cory Klatnik, Data Center Social Media & Community Manager, Intel
Cory was one of the organizers for last year's Startup Weekend Access and is legally blind. He'll be speaking about his personal experiences in the workplace, as well as sharing his thoughts on what employers and co-workers can do to create a more inclusive workplace.
• Incight.org
Incight.org is a 501(c) 3 non-profit that supports and empowers key life aspects of education, employment, and independence for people with disabilities. A representative from the organization will be speaking on attitudes, perspectives, and stigmas, as they pertain to employees with disabilities.
• Diana Laboy-Rush, Mobile App Developer, Aruba Networks
Diana recently worked on a small team developing a product for people with significant hearing loss. Her team members included one person who was completely deaf. She will be talking about what she expected, what the reality was, what she learned about her own perceptions, and what she would recommend for others who find themselves in her place.
As usual, I'm really excited about these speakers. I think the combination of experiences and perspectives and knowledge are going to lead to some really interesting and thoughtful conversations and questions.

UserOnboard Ice Cream Party!!

Hello friends!
Let's celebrate the glorious Portland summertime together by eating ice cream in a park!
I just reviewed Eventbrite's onboarding experience (http://www.useronboard.com/how-eventbrite-onboards-new-users/) and in order to do so, had to come up with an event to post.
Ice cream and beer in Col. Summer's Park sounded like a great idea, and when the review was published, a lot of people actually RSVPed. So it's on!
UserOnboard will provide the ice cream and probably some beer and we will all supply the good times with chill people. |

Wearable Electronics Kits

| description |
What's better than buying wearables? Making your own! We'll look at a few wearable development kit options, many are so easy they don't require any specialized knowledge to make the next big thing!
We have the pleasure of digging into the WearDuino development kit with its creator Mark Leavitt. WearDuino is a local creation by <a href="http://pdxwhl.org">pdxwhl.org</a>, and is an open platform for innovation in wearable health technology. WearDuino highlights:
* Open hardware, firmware, software and physical design
* Simple: coin-cell battery, Bluetooth low energy wireless
* Modular: experiment freely with sensor innovations
* Wearable in multiple body locations with different attachments
* Smaller, lighter, thinner and 5x less expensive than Apple Watch
We're also thrilled to host Camille Dodson who will show off <a href="http://lilypadarduino.org/">LilyPad</a>, another Arduino based development kit. It's not as focused on healthcare as WearDuino, but is a great way for Makers to easily get their feet wet building and sharing cool wearable projects.
We'll look at other Wearable dev kits as well, and if you have any, feel free to bring them along! We love show and tell. |

Reservations: Free for members; $5 for nonmembers
At it's core, brand strategy is about understanding your audience's needs, identifying what you have to offer, and then communicating your message in a way that resonates with your audience. Brand strategy tactics can be put to work for your cause, business, or even for personal branding. Workshop attendees will learn brand strategy basics, and leave with an idea of how to put them to work to:
* Identify and connect with audiences
* Write titles, headlines, and descriptions that resonate with the audience
* Use social media to strengthen outreach
* Consistently communicate your brand across all touchpoints
* Handle partnerships, joint-branding and sub-brands DIY tools, expert tips and resources will also be shared throughout the presentation to empower attendees to implement what they've learned on their own.
Content will be geared towards City Club of Portland members, however concepts can be applied to other situations where brand strategy is needed.
