Refresh Portland February: Callie B. Carroll on Assumptions About Users and Accessibility
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
Welcome to the 2010 Refresh Portland season! To open up the year, we have Callie B. Carroll, a user experience, usability and accessibility specialist, and humanitarian technologist who speaks both computer and human.
Callie will talk about the tricky art of planning for accessibility, where assumptions must be made about users, and these assumptions can create design that is either inclusive or exclusive, with narrow or broad usability.
The big question she will address: can you think about users in ways that will help designers and developers create technology that works for everyone, rather than technology that just supports what some see as the disparate groups of “normal” users and “those with disabilities”.
Her thesis: When the accessibility of technology (hardware, software, web, and mobile) is considered throughout design, development, and testing, the rewards are systems that provide equal access to functionality, services, and information for their entire range of users. |

Then, we're on to Flex demos from:
Matt LeGrand (Multi-touch capability with Flex);
Rob Reinhardt (videoRx.com);
and Thetus (Savanna UI platform).
That gives us time for a round of lightning presentations from community members and breakouts for code looks.
Finally, don’t miss a chance to win as we raffle off the Adobe CS4 Master Collection.
Meeting starts at 6 PM. Food and networking at 5:30 PM sponsored by our host, Thetus Corporation.

PDX Tweetup Breakfast - The Elvis, Evolved.

I could say that we're going there because it's right next to little c's school, and thus incredibly easy for me to reach. I could cite the fact that they have bacon-cheddar biscuits AND corn/bacon muffins on a regular (dare I say constant) basis. I could mention the other lovely pastries. Or I could point out that, as the replacement to the beloved Sydney's cafe, the place is the only waystation for web workers for miles around.
But none of that matters. Here's why we're going: "Grilled peanut butter and honey with sliced bananas on sourdough." Om nom nom nom.
As always, buy your own breakfast and join us at the big table in the middle of the place (or the banquette if we can jam enough tables together). |

A polyglot programming group meeting in the heart of The Beave. We seem to talk a lot about oddball programming languages and their features. And the usual geekery you'd expect from a programmer's group.
This month we'll have a talk by Eric Wilhelm:
"Perl 6: What you've missed in the last $n years." I
will present an overview of the Perl 6 project, a snapshot of recent
development, and samples of what you can do with Rakudo Perl 6 now.

Springboard Social Innovation Forum

At the March Springboard Social Innovation weâll be addressing innovative physical spaces. By creating an active idea laboratory, shared workspace, specifically designed educational programs, appropriate tools, and needed expertise, we can cultivate innovative technology- and service-based solutions to shared problems using newly collaborative, enriched strategies that can be replicated in diverse settings globally.
Together MotiveSpace Coalition and Springboard Innovation are creating HATCH, a physical space that will serve as an active laboratory and incubator for community innovation and will foster an entirely new operating system between individuals, organizations, community, tools, and place. The space will offer classrooms, tools, programs, and experts who will work together to solve local and global problems. Tenants of all sectors will work in close proximity in a shared work space that fosters collaboration, community, and participation to generate social and ecological solutions.
Join us for a âworking Forum,â where weâll discuss HATCH and the potential role a physical space can play in solving social and environmental problems. **SPACE IS LIMITED, PLEASE RSVP** Please contact Mary Grace at (503) 452-6898 or [email protected] for more information about this event and to RSVP.
The Springboard Social Innovation Forum offers a monthly event designed to support those interested in creating a better future. Our focus is to help practitioners or potential practitioners of social projects push beyond discussion and debate into action. Each Forum will inspire and teach with ideas, powerful role models, and stories. Speakers, content experts, panels, and workshops will help you improve your strategies for planning and launching effective social ventures. The Forum will create a context to connect, learn, and take action around ideas that lead to tangible changeâall in a venue designed for building community.
The Forum is intended to attract people with a wide range of experience and backgrounds, but with a common interestâmaking a difference. If you are getting tired of waiting for someone else to step up to take on issues you care about, come see how this can be a place to make a difference, here or around the world. We invite people from both the business and non-profit communityâinvestors and activistsâto join in, work together, and make this a model for other cities to adopt.
Learn more about the Forum at www.springboardinnovation.org/forum.php
About Springboard Innovation:
Springboard Innovation (www.springboardinnovation.org) is a not-for-profit headquartered in Portland, Oregon. Through a process of âinnovation incubationâ we help community members launch social change organizations and programs. We invite you to be involved in our newest initiative for change.

The iPad: An Early Look at Apple's Latest Innovation
Roll back
| description |
Less than a month has passed since Apple unveiled the iPad and few technology products have spurred more divergent opinions and conversations that this unassuming tablet computer.
Some see the iPad as a tremendous new opportunity for businesses. Others believe the device is doomed to fail. Is it the future of computer human interaction? Or will people find the system too limiting?
To help explore the challenges, opportunities, and pitfalls associated with the iPad, we've put together a panel of experts who will tackle questions like:
* If you currently have an iPhone app, what do you need to consider when making a decision about whether to make an iPad version?
* How will the types of applications on the iPad be different than what we've seen on mobile phones? Will pricing change? Is there more or less opportunity for advertising?
* How does the different form factor change the way applications are designed?
* What does the iPad mean for publishers? Books? Magazines? Newspapers? Does this hint at a way out for the problems media has faced over the last few years?
* How do web sites need to change to support the iPad (or do they)?
* What does the iPad mean for the future of personal computing?
Come join us to learn from the panel and share your own thoughts on this next generation device.
About the Panelists
Final panelists are being confirmed. Bios will be posted soon. |

Yes, we know Apple hasn't officially announced a tablet yet. We don't know what it will look like, how much it will cost, or even what the name is yet.
But unless Apple is about to pull the greatest prank in corporate history, we're soon going find out how Apple plans on following the success of the iPhone.
Come join a panel of experts at Mobiie Portland as we dissect what the new "tablet" means for businesses, developers, marketing, publishing, media, and consumers. |

Social Media Training: Red Chair Studio
Roll back
| description |

RED CHAIR 'Studio' is designed to teach mid-level managers and Account-level Social Media professionals how to properly manage, measure and grow Social Media programs under their care. This fast-paced half day session will provide the framework, insight and step-by-step methodology needed to most effectively manage a Social Media program and deliver results for customers and the organizations, so come prepared to take copious notes.
Because RED CHAIR 'Studio' is a half-day session, participants will have time to return to the office after lunch and immediately begin to apply what they have learned. Developing a program that specifically caters to "roll up your sleeves and get it done" managers wasn't enough; we also wanted to make it financially accessible to departments with limited budgets.
What follows is a brief breakdown of what the program will cover:
Strategic Planning: How to properly develop, plan and set measurable goals for your social media program or campaign, both in the short term and long term - in a way that accomplishes your department's objectives and satisfies upper management.
Management: How to manage the Social Media program from inception to every phase of its evolution. We will go over process integration, monitoring, engagement, community management, customer support, online reputation management internal communications, project management and legal considerations.
Measurement and Growth: The final portion of the session will focus on how to properly measure success. This discussion will focus on lining up measurement with your program's specific objectives, choosing the correct tools and metrics for the job, properly reporting successes and failures, and how to use data to ensure the growth of your program.
Who should attend:
Department managers wishing to learn how to effectively build, grow and manage Social Media programs for their business units.
Social Media managers and directors wishing to learn how to more effectively manage and grow sustainable Social Media programs for their clients and/or their own firms.
Account-level agency and digital program managers looking to significantly improve their working knowledge of effective Social Media program management.
Community managers, IT managers, HR managers, small business owners (less than 10 employees), marketing project managers, product managers, customer service managers, and anyone not at the Executive level wishing to further their practical understanding of Social Media program management. |
