Portland Linux/Unix Group: A Talk by Jeri Ellsworth
Roll back
| description |
PRESENTATION
A Talk
by
Jeri Ellsworth
(Circuit Girl)
Jeri Ellsworth is a native Oregonian, born in Yamhill and raised
in Dallas, Oregon. Early on she became fascinated with electronics
and 8-bit computers setting the stage for her unique approach to
learning. Not being challenged in school, she skipped higher
education to pursue a career in car-racing and chassis fabrication.
After that, she opened a chain of computer stores in Oregon and
Washington. She sold those to peruse a career in chip design,
which lead her to design the CommodoreOne - based upon the
Commodore 64 - using reconfigurable logic and the C64 DTV 30-
games-in-one joystick, selling, a quarter million units.
She currently works as an Oregon based consultant.
I'm not sure what Jeri is going to speak about yet, but judging
the talk she gave at Sanford, it should be very good indeed.
See a video of her Sanford talk at:

Thursday, Febuary 8th, 2010
5:30pm - 8:30pm
Location: Renaissance on the Riverfront
136 SW Washington Ave.
Corvallis, Oregon 97333
RSVP Here
$5 for SAO members or students, and $15 for non-members
Includes finger food and no-host bar
AGENDA:
5:30 - 6:15: Business Networking Time with finger food, no host bar
6:15 - 6:25: 30-Second Mic (give us your technology business elevator pitch!!)
6:45 Program: Co-Working in Oregon
PROGRAM:
Co-working is a growing movement around the United States and across the world. As more people work from home or work while they are traveling or are in the midst of a rapid startup cycle, they find that they can be more effective and more productive by gathering together to work. Starting with projects like the Hat Factory in San Francisco, co-working sites have bloomed. There are several co-working facilities in the Nortwest, some which are expanding to multiple cities and some that focus on specific audiences or markets. The February SAO meeting will be a panel discussion by three Oregon co-working entrepreneurs: Jeff Jimmerson from Madison Avenue Collective in Corvallis, Josh Friedman from Ned Space in Portland and Rick Turoczy from Portland Innovation Experiment.
Jeff Jimerson, founder of the Madison Ave. Collective (http://www.madcollective.com/)
Madison Ave. Collective (the MAC) is a shared office and studio space located in downtown Corvallis, 72 steps west of Starbucks on the corner of 5th street andâyou guessed itâMadison Ave. After three months of heavy remodeling, Jeff opened the space on 08/08/08 with a "nice people wanted" Craigslist ad.
Today, twelve creative and tech professionals call the MAC home for their respective small businesses.
Rick Turoczy, founder of Silicon Florist (http://siliconflorist.com/)
Rick Turoczy has been working in high-tech marketing communications jobs in the Portland area for the past 15 years. Out of pure dumb luck, he happened to sit up in bed at 2 AM one night in August 2007 with the inspiration to start Silicon Florist, a blog about Portland startups in the Web, Mobile, and Open Source scenes.
Since then, heâs chatted with The Oregonian a bunch of times, appeared on local television and radio, made a brief appearance on the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, garnered bylines in The New York Times, spoken at numerous events, been selected as a runner up for the Portland Business Journalâs â40 under 40,â launched a startup incubator with the help of Wieden+Kennedy, and co-produced a groundbreaking Web-based telethon called 30 hour day.
All because of a blog. Weird.
Josh Friedman, co-founder of NedSpace (http://www.nedspace.com/)
Josh Friedman is the co-founder of NedSpace, a provider of co-working facilities for entrepreneurs and startups. NedSpace is designed to be the place where entrepreneurs go to build and grow their businesses. Along with his business partner Mark Grimes, NedSpace has itself grown quickly into two locations from its launch in early 2009. The goal is to open 10 more locations throughout the US in 2010, and eventually to have a NedSpace in every city with a startup ecosystem.
Josh serves on the Board of Starve Ups, a Portland-based entrepreneurial organization and the Oregon Entrepreneurs Forum Advisory Board. He holds a B.S. degree in speech communication from Oregon State University. Aside from helping entrepreneurs grow their companies, you might find him rock climbing, skiing, cycling, brewing beer or generally causing trouble along with his dog Ace. |

Rick Turoczy has been working in high-tech marketing communications jobs in the Portland area for the past 15 years. Out of pure dumb luck, he happened to sit up in bed at 2 AM one night in August 2007 with the inspiration to start Silicon Florist, a blog about Portland startups in the Web, Mobile, and Open Source scenes.
Since then, he’s chatted with The Oregonian a bunch of times, appeared on local television and radio, made a brief appearance on the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, garnered bylines in The New York Times, spoken at numerous events, been selected as a runner up for the Portland Business Journal’s “40 under 40,” launched a startup incubator with the help of Wieden+Kennedy, and co-produced a groundbreaking Web-based telethon called 30 hour day.
All because of a blog. Weird.
Josh Friedman, co-founder of NedSpace (http://www.nedspace.com/)
Josh Friedman is the co-founder of NedSpace, a provider of co-working facilities for entrepreneurs and startups. NedSpace is designed to be the place where entrepreneurs go to build and grow their businesses. Along with his business partner Mark Grimes, NedSpace has itself grown quickly into two locations from its launch in early 2009. The goal is to open 10 more locations throughout the US in 2010, and eventually to have a NedSpace in every city with a startup ecosystem.
Josh serves on the Board of Starve Ups, a Portland-based entrepreneurial organization and the Oregon Entrepreneurs Forum Advisory Board. He holds a B.S. degree in speech communication from Oregon State University. Aside from helping entrepreneurs grow their companies, you might find him rock climbing, skiing, cycling, brewing beer or generally causing trouble along with his dog Ace. |

6:45 Program: Co-Working in Oregon
PROGRAM:
Co-working is a growing movement around the United States and across the world. As more people work from home or work while they are traveling or are in the midst of a rapid startup cycle, they find that they can be more effective and more productive by gathering together to work. Starting with projects like the Hat Factory in San Francisco, co-working sites have bloomed. There are several co-working facilities in the Nortwest, some which are expanding to multiple cities and some that focus on specific audiences or markets. The February SAO meeting will be a panel discussion by three Oregon co-working entrepreneurs: Jeff Jimmerson from Madison Avenue Collective in Corvallis, Josh Friedman from Ned Space in Portland and Rick Turoczy from Portland Innovation Experiment.
Jeff Jimerson, founder of the Madison Ave. Collective (http://www.madcollective.com/)
Madison Ave. Collective (the MAC) is a shared office and studio space located in downtown Corvallis, 72 steps west of Starbucks on the corner of 5th street andâyou guessed itâMadison Ave. After three months of heavy remodeling, Jeff opened the space on 08/08/08 with a "nice people wanted" Craigslist ad.
Today, twelve creative and tech professionals call the MAC home for their respective small businesses.

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 ).

Portland Java User Group: Spring Insight and Roo
Roll back

This month's topic: The Spring Insight console and Roo
The Spring Insight console, part of tc Server Developer Edition, is a dashboard view of real-time Spring application performance metrics. Without changing their code, developers can use Spring Insight to detect, analyze and diagnose application performance issues right from their desktops.
# A graphical look at application performance: Within Spring Insight, application performance is graphically displayed via response time charts and histograms, providing developers an easily digestible view into where processing time is spent.
# Easy navigation to identify the root causes of concerns: Expandable call trees enable developers to drill down into application requests and controller actions.
# Integration with SpringSource Tool Suite to fix problems: By integrating SpringSource tc Server Developer Edition with SpringSource Tool Suite, developers gain a deeper understanding of how the application is functioning and performing by isolating a transaction trace and quickly jumping to the portion of code that is causing a problem.
----------
Speaker: Steve Mayzak
Steve Mayzak is a Senior Sales Engineer with SpringSource. He has been in working in Enterprise IT for over a decade and has been involved in many industries including Automotive, Retail, Hi-Tech, Healthcare to name a few. Steve is an Open source advocate who loves anything that has to do with Java, Spring and Grails and is an expert at using these technologies to solve real word problems. He is currently focused on showcasing SpringSource products around the world with a focus on tc Server and Hyperic HQ.

PRESENTATION
A Talk
by
Jeri Ellsworth
(Circuit Girl)
Jeri Ellsworth is a native Oregonian, born in Yamhill and raised
in Dallas, Oregon. Early on she became fascinated with electronics
and 8-bit computers setting the stage for her unique approach to
learning. Not being challenged in school, she skipped higher
education to pursue a career in car-racing and chassis fabrication.
After that, she opened a chain of computer stores in Oregon and
Washington. She sold those to peruse a career in chip design,
which lead her to design the CommodoreOne - based upon the
Commodore 64 - using reconfigurable logic and the C64 DTV 30-
games-in-one joystick, selling, a quarter million units.
She currently works as an Oregon based consultant.
I'm not sure what Jeri is going to speak about yet, but judging
the talk she gave at Sanford, it should be very good indeed.
See a video of her Sanford talk at:

Silverlight Hackathon - Install Clinic
Roll back

Stuart Celarier is running an Install Clinic at <a href="http://www.backspace.bz/">Backspace</a> starting at 10am. After the clinic, it is a short walk to Souk where we'll be starting the main event at 1pm.
The Install Clinic is an opportunity to drop in, grab a cup of coffee, and Prepare Your System for the Hackathon. Depending on what software you have to install, and the speed of your laptop, it can take some time for the installs to run. You might want to do those installations at home, but if you're like me, these things can sometimes get put off to the last minute. Well, here is your formal last minute to get ready.
It's also an opportunity to schmooze, and if you get set up early you can help others or even try your hand at some impromptu Silverlight hacking.
I am working to get installation media onto CDs or USB drives so we're not all trying to download off the Internets.
As with any install, I'd highly recommend that you ensure that your system backup is current and valid before getting started. 'Nuf said.

Silverlight Hackathon - Install Clinic
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
Stuart Celarier is running an Install Clinic at <a href="http://www.backspace.bz/">Backspace</a> starting at 10am. After the clinic, it is a short walk to Souk where we'll be starting the main event at 1pm.
The Install Clinic is an opportunity to drop in, grab a cup of coffee, and Prepare Your System for the Hackathon. Depending on what software you have to install, and the speed of your laptop, it can take some time for the installs to run. You might want to do those installations at home, but if you're like me, these things can sometimes get put off to the last minute. Well, here is your formal last minute to get ready.
It's also an opportunity to schmooze, and if you get set up early you can help others or even try your hand at some impromptu Silverlight hacking.
I am working to get installation media onto CDs or USB drives so we're not all trying to download off the Internets.
As with any install, I'd highly recommend that you ensure that your system backup is current and valid before getting started. 'Nuf said.

Silverlight Hackathon - Sunday Jan 31st 1pm-5:55pm
Event Sponsors: *IT Motives, Get It Right, Souk*
We've got a great place to hang out, and the Silverlight Hackathon is a go! Meet us downtown at Souk, and we're going to have a great day of working on Silverlight. We've had some great project suggestions, and we'll break down into groups and work on projects that we find fun. Are you new to Silverlight? This is a great chance to get started. We've already had several people offer to help beginners out.
Where?
Souk downtown (http://local.google.com/local?f=q&hl=en&q=322+NW+6th+Avenue,+Portland,+OR&ie=UTF8&om=1&hq=&hnear=322+NW+6th+Ave,+Portland,+Multnomah,+Oregon+97209&ll=45.525532,-122.676194&spn=0.010809,0.028818&z=16&iwloc=A ). It's super close to all kinds of Bus/Max stops, and there's a easy Smart Park close. Since it's Sunday, I expect there will even be street parking options.
Souk's direction page: http://www.soukllc.com/directions.html
Public Transportation
souk is located on the Max Green Line/Yellow Line (China Town Stop) and the bus route. The nearby streetcar also accesses souk a few blocks away. Consult www.trimet.org for more information.
By Bike
Bike lockers are within a couple blocks, and U bike racks are available on souk's block.
By Car
Zipcar's closest spot is at Flanders and 4th.
The closest garage is on Everett at 5 th one block away. Smartpark has garages within a few blocks at Naito and NW Davis and at Station Place (at the westside foot of the Broadway Bridge). Additionally, there are several outdoor lots within a few blocks of souk.
What do I need?
A laptop capable of running Dev Studio/Silverlight: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/dd823311.aspx
What can I do to help?
Burn some CD/DVDs. We need SL3 Tools + Blend/Dev Express, SL 4 Tools and Blend/Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2.
Bring a (labelled) extension cord/power strip
Bring a projector (please let us know if you can do this)
