Portland Java User Group: An Argument for Semantics - Why Developers Should Give a Hoot about OWL
Roll back
| description |
This month's topic: An Argument for Semantics - Why Developers Should Give a Hoot about OWL
In the push to make use of tagging and other forms user-driven information architectures, developers have overlooked the value of adding semantics, or contextual meaning, directly to the data that powers web sites and applications. The addition of Microformats to a Web site's markup can further the exchange of semantic information such as contact information for people and events. For the most part, however, web sites and applications are still populated by largely non-semantic prose organized in large blocks of HTML or generated from the walled gardens of relational databases and data warehouses.
While everyone agrees that HTML isn't going away anytime soon, several Web Standards have arisen over the last few years to help application developers store, serve, and distribute information with ever-increasing levels of semantics and meaning. The current pinnacle of the Semantic Web Standards pyramid is OWL - the W3C's Web Ontology Language. In this talk I will describe the roots and basics of OWL and how it can be used to power the next generation of smart, data-enabled Web applications.
----------
Speaker: Brian Panulla
Brian is a technology consultant and developer for Dealerpeak - the Portland-based Web-enabled CRM for automotive dealers. A recent transplant to Portland, Brian formerly led grant-funded R&D projects in the information sciences at Penn State University. He moved here primarily for the high quality and variety of beer.

PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then Q&A, discussion, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)
Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't *have* to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up!
Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, at a location determined ad hoc (lately, the Market Street Pub at 10th and Market: http://mcmenamins.com/ind current pinnacle of the Semantic Web Standards pyramid is OWL - the W3C's Web Ontology Language.

PDXScala Meeting
Roll back

Details to come... |

Come join us for another gathering of PDXScala, the Portland Scala users group. This is a casual group focused around the Scala programming language. We welcome both newcomers and experts alike.
Thomas Lockney will be presenting SBT (Simple Build Tool) as a convenient tool for exploring Java libraries with Scala. One of the primary benefits of Scala being available on the JVM is easy integration with existing Java code, but as any Java developer can tell you, it can take a lot of boilerplate to get started exploring a new library. Scala (and SBT) make it possible to shortcut through a lot of this excess code and get right to the heart of the matter.
Brian Panulla has generously agreed to be our first subject for a group code review. He'll be showing his program which converts an XML file to RDF/OWL and we'll have the opportunity, as a group, to look for ways to improve it.
We look forward to seeing you! |

Agile Transition Simulation
Roll back
| description |
I'm happy to announce that Elisabeth Hendrickson will be speaking to the Portland Agile Users Group on Wednesday the 17th. She's an energetic and informative member of the greater agile community who periodically comes up from the Bay Area to share her knowledge with us. Her talk on ATDD[*] last year at CubeSpace was great fun and well-received.
This year she'll be taking us through an interactive simulation of an agile transition. When she ran this simulation at Agile 2009, it replicated a number of problems I've seen take months and years to play out on real software teams. Bring your team members! It's far less stressful to talk about problems in the context of an evening's simulation than in the context of three years of product development.
Pizza is sponsored by YesMail of InfoGroup Interactive. Pizza and networking start at 6:30; presentation starts at 7. If there's enough interest, we'll go to a pub afterward for further discussion.

Her talk on ATDD[*] last year at CubeSpace was great fun and well-received.
This year she'll be taking us through an interactive simulation of an agile transition. When she ran this simulation at Agile 2009, it replicated a number of problems I've seen take months and years to play out on real software teams. Bring your team members! It's far less stressful to talk about problems in the context of an evening's simulation than in the context of three years of product development.
Pizza is sponsored by YesMail of InfoGroup Interactive. Pizza and networking start at 6:30; presentation starts at 7. If there's enough interest, we'll go to a pub afterward for further discussion.

This month's topic: TBD
----------
PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then Q&A, discussion, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)
Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't *have* to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up!
Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, at a location determined ad hoc (lately, the Market Street Pub at 10th and Market: http://mcmenamins.com/index.php?loc=24 ).

<b>This month's topic: "An Argument for Semantics - Why Developers Should Give a Hoot about OWL"</b>
In the push to make use of tagging and other forms user-driven information architectures, developers have overlooked the value of adding semantics, or contextual meaning, directly to the data that powers web sites and applications. The addition of Microformats to a Web site's markup can further the exchange of semantic information such as contact information for people and events. For the most part, however, web sites and applications are still populated by largely non-semantic prose organized in large blocks of HTML or generated from the walled gardens of relational databases and data warehouses.
While everyone agrees that HTML isn't going away anytime soon, several Web Standards have arisen over the last few years to help application developers store, serve, and distribute information with ever-increasing levels of semantics and meaning. The current pinnacle of the Semantic Web Standards pyramid is OWL - the W3C's Web Ontology Language. In this talk I will describe the roots and basics of OWL and how it can be used to power the next generation of smart, data-enabled Web applications.
<b>Speaker: Brian Panulla</b> is a technology consultant and developer for Dealerpeak - the Portland-based Web-enabled CRM for automotive dealers. A recent transplant to Portland, Brian formerly led grant-funded R&D projects in the information sciences at Penn State University. He moved here primarily for the high quality and variety of beer.

While setting up a Twitter account may only take a few minutes knowing what to do with it and how to manage it is another story. Simply âdoingâ is no longer working. It is important we finds way to do it more efficiently and find ways to measure the value. This monthâs meeting will focus on looking at some of the available tools and how we can use them to manage and monitor social media campaigns. We will be specifically focusing on tools related to Twitter and Facebook fan pages.
Bring your questions, your war stories and creative ideas.
Agenda:
5:30 Networking

6:30 More Networking
Hope you can join us! |

Are you going to SXSW Interactive in March? Not going, but wish you were going and want to hang out with other geeks? Want to learn more about SXSW so that you can go next year? If the answer to any of those questions is yes, you should join us at a special pre-SXSW party at Beer and Blog on Friday, February 26th from 4pm - ??.
Since this is a community organized event, you’ll be buying your own drinks, but it will be just as fun! We’ll be pairing up with Portland Beer and Blog for this event, and it will be a great opportunity to chat with others about sxsw. We can find out who else is going and talk about ways to stay in touch at the event. If you are new to sxsw, you can get some tips from the experienced attendees. SXSWi is my favorite large tech event held every March in Austin, TX. SXSW is also referred to as spring break for geeks, not that I expect the parties to sway your decision to attend (*cough*).

Galois Tech Talk

The talk will be presented by Iavor Diatchki on Tuesday, February
16th, at 10:30am.
Abstract: GF is a programming language for multilingual grammar
applications. It may be seen in a number of different ways:
• as a special-purpose language for grammars, like YACC or Happy,
but not restricted to programming languages;
• as a functional language, like Haskell or SML, but specialized to
grammar writing;
• as a logical framework, like Agda or Coq, but equipped with
concrete syntax in addition to logic;
• as a natural language processing framework, like LKB, or Regulus,
but based on functional programming and type theory.
This talk is an introduction to GF’s basic concepts by example. We
will look at how to define the meaning and syntax of a language,
perform simple translations, define semantic properties, and how to
use GF together with another language such as Haskell.
Bio: Iavor Diatchki is a R&D Engineer at Galois, Inc. with a Ph.D.
from the Oregon Graduate Institute.
Details:
• Date: February 16th, 2010, Tuesday
• Time: 10:30am
• Location: Galois Inc., 421 SW 6th Ave. Suite 300 (3rd floor of
the Commonwealth building) |

OpenEmbedded
Getting started in embedded Linux development can be intimidating. Every hardware device vendor seems to have its own embedded Linux distribution and way of developing for it. OpenEmbedded (OE) is a framework for creating highly customizable embedded Linux distributions. It provides a well-designed build system and cross-compilation environment to developers, and a robust package management system for setting up and maintaining your embedded Linux system.
Find out why OpenEmbedded is taking the embedded world by storm and improving the lives of embedded Linux developers.

Setting up your basic Social Media Program and Time Management System
February 25, 2010 2:00 p.m.(PST) â Webinar
The way business is done has changed.
Do you know what has changed specifically?
Do you understand why things have changed?
And â most importantly â do you know how to make it work for you?
Have you noticed that the old âtried and trueâ marketing and business tactics donât work anymore. Thereâs a reason. Things have changed.
This is not just an economic slump. Itâs a seismic shift in the global economy. Thereâs a lot of fear out there. Youâre not afraid of work or of clients â youâre scared because you donât really know whatâs going on.
This webinar is for you!
We have moved from the Information Age into the Consultation Age. As communication professionals and creative consultants, thatâs good news for you! Weâre going to explain why. Then weâre going to tell you exactly how to make it work for you.
Are you feeling baffled and overwhelmed? Marketing, social media/networking, technology changes, resumes, portfolios, websites⦠Whatâs up? What works best? What can you afford? How do you stay on top and on track?
Weâre going to lay it out for you simply and help you create a customized strategy that keeps your time management under control, but gets the job done. Simple road map, with simple tasks, and some simple tools.
Join us for a 60-minute Webinar on February 25, at 2:00 pm (or register to get the download and handouts to view at your own time â how convenient is that?).
Hereâs what you take away:
* An understanding of how business has changed and what it means to you: the self-employed communication professional (or any other kind of pro)
* The significant global shift that you need to be aware of â learn to make it work for you
* Understand whatâs going on and how to shift your thinking
* An understanding of what exactly is the âConsultant Ageâ and why itâs tailor made just for you (hint: youâve got everything you need!)
* A simple break down of the most effective tools, tactics and strategies that work best right now â simple (but powerful
* A road map so you can use them for yourself (task list, time schedules⦠simple)
* A list of the best â and easiest â tools available for the solo-pro (running your business can be a breeze â or it can be a tornado, you choose)
* Plus a quick and easy tutorial on how to get them up and running in almost no time
When: February 25, 2010 | 2:00 pm (Pacific Standard Time)
Place: Webinar
Cost: Members free; Nonmembers $10. |

Come do strange things with computers amongst others whilst drinking fine Portland beer. Look for the row of geeks with computers in the back of the main room.
All programming languages welcome. Come work on your own projects, work on others participants' projects, get advice, have fun, etc.
You're encouraged to bring a computer, but can team up with others that brought one too.
Afterwards, the group descends on the 12th and Hawthorne foodcart pod for additional nourishment.
Also, many people meet up at the pub during the same time as the hackathon to play boardgames they bring which you're welcomed to play. |
