Roll back
| description |
<p><b>Description</b> </p> <p><br>Participants in fantasy football leagues manage teams by acquiring and trading players. Using predictive models based on historical data improves team selection and performance. </p> <p>In this talk we will use managing a fantasy football team as an example of how to integrate disparate data sources and make predictions based on complex event histories. </p> <p>We'll cover:</p> <p><br>● Modeling data for building predictive models about individuals.</p> <p>● Integrating disparate data sources.</p> <p>● Applying portfolio optimization theory to player selection.</p> <p>● Translating subjective knowledge of domain into a rigorous improvement of a predictive model.</p> <p>

ISSA Portland February 2015 Symposium - BYOD
Roll back
| description |

Two presentations on BYOD strategy, followed by a panel discussion.
Speaker 1
"BYOD Policy, Trust Continuum, and Enforcement Technologies"
In 2015, nearly every organization has had to take a position on where they stand with BYOD. Some IT leaders fully embrace it, others are still pretending it does not exist. While others have defined a "Trust Continuum" granting access in trade for control. Such a innovative approach is impossible without accompanying "Trust Continuum" technical controls to enforce the administrative policy. This presentation will cover from policy to technical enforcement of trust.
Collin Miller
“Secure Mobility: IT Strategy for the Mobile Enterprise,” delivers a clear assessment of the state of mobile security today paired with an insightful look into what the future holds. He shares vetted strategies for implementing BYOD and packs his talk with practical information about available tools for mobile device and application management.
Collin Miller has spent more than a decade thinking about, designing and implementing secure IT infrastructures, especially those incorporating BYOD and mobile device management policies. He is a strategic planner, highly skilled and certified in technologies that touch nearly every part of the enterprise. Currently, Collin focuses his attention and energy on mobile device security and management, DLP, remote access and authentication, next-gen firewalls and SIEM. |

EAST Knowledge - The Evolution of Hardware Design in the Home Lab
Roll back
| description |
EAST Knowledge is pleased to announce it's fourth meeting. Pat Nystrom will be giving demonstrations on his efforts to make it easier to prototype electronics at home. All are welcome!
* **What:** The Evolution of Hardware Design in the Home Lab
* **Who:** Pat Nystrom
* **Where:** The Computer Lab at the Gresham Library
* **When:** 10:30am - Noon, Saturday, February 14, 2014
* **Why:** Sharing what we know
Pat Nystrom led off our EAST Knowledge series a little over a year ago, and we wanted to bring him back to see what he's been working on. He will be talking about and demonstrating two topics:
* A dry-film soldermask process which makes home-made circuit boards much friendlier to use
* An update on the development of his manual pick-place machine
Come and learn something new!
[Solder masks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solder_mask) are used in electronics manufacturing both to protect copper traces and to keep solder from going where it shouldn't.
[Pick and place machines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMT_placement_equipment) are devices used in electronics manufacturing. They come in various sizes, but they are commonly expensive. Pat is working on something that would be suitable and affordable for enthusiasts or prototype manufacturing. |

WIT: Opportunity Knocks! How to Get into Tech Without an Engineering Degree
Roll back
| description |
“How do we get more women in tech?”
The tech industry provides stability and great opportunities for career advancement, so it’s an important question - and one being asked around the world. Companies like Intel and eBay are answering by launching initiatives to increase the number of female engineers in their workforces. Non-profits are responding by establishing programs that teach girls to code so they can grow up to be developers. Universities are contributing to the conversation by offering scholarships to young adult females who choose to pursue degrees in Computer Science.
While there’s no argument that all these solutions are valuable and will help further the cause, what about women who want to work in tech, but aren’t interested in coding? What options do they have? In an effort to provide answers to these questions, eBay Portland will be hosting a special WIT Startup Week event focused on looking beyond engineering roles for women in tech.
Five women from the local tech community will be talking about their individual jobs and sharing their experiences as non-technical women working in an industry that is predominantly focused on technical roles. Kirsten Golden, Program Manager at PIE, will be emceeing the event.
Presenters include:
Gina Hudson, Office Manager/Operations, eBay Portland
Heidi Tretheway, Director of Marketing Communications, Urban Airship
Susan Wheeler, Director of e-Discovery Services, Streamline Imaging
Grace Andrews, Co-Founder Business Development, GraphAlchemist
The WIT talk will conclude with a short Q, after which attendees are invited to stay for an hour of networking and have their resume critiqued by recruiters and HR representatives from eBay, Jama Software, Simple, Puppet Labs, Treehouse, and Tech Talent Link.
Date: Thursday, February 7th, 2015
Time: 4:30pm - 6:30pm, Doors open at 4pm
Location: eBay Community Lounge, 1400 SW 5th Avenue, 3rd Floor, Portland
This event is free and open to the tech community as well as the general public. If you’re working in tech, interested in working tech, or simply exploring career options, please RSVP now to join us!

Core Data has been around a long time now, much beloved and much maligned.
What’s new for iOS8 and Mac OS X Mavericks/Yosemite?
What are some alternative technologies that are worth looking into (pros and cons)?
We’ll take a look and see where Core Data fits (or doesn’t) in modern iOS app development.
Note: If you have things you’d like to see included in the presentation, please stop by NSCoder Tuesday night and bend my ear…
Walmart Labs will provide the pizza, and those who wish to will go out for beer after the meeting. |

Where is the power of wearables going? We're bringing it in hackfest form to Portland, OR! Register now for our hackfest Feb 4th and find out (or make it happen).
With the Quick Left wearable hackfest, we want take wearable data beyond the miles you pedal or calories burned. We want wearables to be useful in your daily life. According to technology research and advisory company Gartner, by 2020, developed world life expectancy will increase by 0.5 years due to widespread adoption of wireless health monitoring technology. Business leaders must examine the impact of increased wellness on insurance and employee costs as a competitive factor. Inspire innovation to affect this trend at our hackfest. If you've got ideas on what to do with health and exercise data (for humans, your pets or....), you'll want to get your hack on at Quick Left!
Wednesday, February 4th, doors open at 6pm, hacking begins at 6:30

Portland Ruby Brigade monthly meeting
Roll back
| description |
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
### Samuel Giddins: Using Ruby in a Non-Ruby World
### Ruby Jobs Storytime
#
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!

# PRESENTATIONS at 7pm
### Samuel Giddins: Using Ruby in a Non-Ruby World
### Ruby Jobs Storytime
5 min talks about people's experiences looking for and finding jobs (and conversely from the hiring side, experiences looking for and hiring engineers for their teams). These talks would probably not need slides, just a person willing to provide their experience. The types of things people could talk about include:
* A new developer’s experience trying to get their first programming job
* A seasoned developer’s tips and tricks for finding and getting a great job
* A story about how someone got their job in a non-traditional way
* Information from a hiring manager or engineer involved in hiring about what they look for
* Any other type of story in the same vein
