update Calagator::Event 1250458135 January SAO Corvallis Tech Pub - A New Scale for Nuclear Power Roll back

description PROGRAM: A New Scale for Nuclear Power The Corvallis Chapter of the Software Association of Oregon begins 2010 with presentation from NuScale Power, a local nuclear technology start-up that leveraged technology transferred from Oregon State University to create a revolutionary model for modular nuclear reactors. Kent Welter, a Principal Engineer at NuScale, will give an overview of the technology and describe how NuScale has shaped the future nuclear energy. The world needs clean, reliable ways to generate electricity. The United States is expected to need 300 gigawatts of new capacity – that’s 150 times the capacity of Hoover Dam – by 2030. Developing nations can only grow as fast as they can power their economies. Global demand for new electric capacity will outpace the U.S. by tenfold in the same period. Electric companies and government leaders are looking for ways to ensure their citizens have reliable, affordable supplies of electricity. They worry about the volatility of fossil fuel prices and the effects of green house gases. NuScale Power is providing one of many answers to this problem. NuScale has developed a small nuclear power system that is safe, modular and scalable. The technology was borne of research by leading nuclear scientists with the support of the U.S. government. The design of the NuScale power plant builds on hundreds of combined years of operating experience with commercial light water reactors along with extensive research and laboratory testing of advanced safety systems. Meeting future demand for electricity requires that we use what we have more efficiently. We must also look to new technologies using wind, solar and wave power and use proven technologies such as nuclear power to meet the needs of future generations. Join us in for a night of networking and showcase with local technology leaders and entrepreneurs.

description nil → The Oregon chapter of the Product Development and Management Association (PDMA) invites you to its first 2010 Learning and Networking Event; "Proven Techniques Turning Customer Requirements into Successful Products! Using 'Voice of the Customer' processes to develop products that meet REAL market needs." A major component of business success is developing products that meet customer needs and provide superior value. Meeting customer needs requires that those needs be understood. The "voice of the customer" (VOC) is the term to describe the stated and unstated customer needs or requirements. The voice of the customer can be captured in a variety of ways: direct discussion or interviews, surveys, focus groups, customer specifications, observation, warranty data, field reports, etc. This program will explore the practical side of collecting and using the VOC. Frank Binnendyk, and expert in VOC and a founder partner of Customer Alignment Consulting will explain the basics of this market research methodology. Then, three representatives from companies that have used the VOC research will provide a users' perspective. They will explain why and how they did it; how they used the information gathered; if it worked well or didn't meet their expectations and what were their VOC lessons learned. Ed de la Fuente VP of Marketing from Aperion Audio, John Williams Product Marketing Manager from FEI and Robert Buxton a High Tech B2B Professional will present company examples. The contrast between these types of companies will provide insights into how a VOC program can be scaled and adapted to meet the needs and resources of any company. After presentations by the panelists, members of the audience can express opinions and ask questions of the panel during the Q&A session. Event Details Thursday, January 21, 2010 5:30 - 6:00 pm Registration and Networking 6:00 - 7:30 pm Presentations and Q&A Portland State Business Accelerator Building 2828 Southwest Corbett Avenue Portland, OR 97201 (503) 725-2312 $20 on-line registration prior to the event. $25 at the door Register now at www.pdma.org/oregon For more detailed information, contact: John Huber VP of Programs, PDMA Oregon Chapter (503) 706-8350 [email protected] Press announcement released by Steve Gerts, VP Communications, PDMA Oregon Chapter

description How to Lie Like a Geek speaker: Michael Schwern Geeks have a special relationship with The Truth. Nothing is more important than correcting a falsehood, no matter how small, and nothing is more odious than not telling The Truth. Unfortunately, in speaking The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth, the meaning is often mangled and the end result is the opposite, a lie. We’ll examine some ways geeks lie while telling The Truth, to themselves and to others, and hopefully achieve better communications, easier to understand interfaces and maybe some personal enlightenment. Some examples include: Lies by omission, lies by precision, lies by irrelevancy, lies by design, lies with statistics and that most dangerous of words “should” as in “the user should have realized”. There will be cake. http://tinyurl.com/mermtx As always, the meeting will be followed by social hour at the LuckyLab → How to Lie Like a Geek speaker: Michael Schwern Geeks have a special relationship with The Truth.

create Calagator::Event 1250458120 SPIN Seminar: Lessons Learned from Architecture Reviews presented by Rebecca Wirfs-Brock Roll back

description nil → This Rose City Software Process Improvement (SPIN) event is free and open to the public. Networking @ 6:00 PM; Seminar 7:00-8:00 PM Location: Beaverton City Library, Meeting Room A, 12375 SW 5th Street, Beaverton, OR 97005 <strong>Abstract</strong> This talk reflects on lessons learned from preparing for, presenting, and conducting architecture reviews. Complex software projects often have quality problems and don't deliver all that was promised. Often such problems are the result of inadequate or inappropriate software architecture. Sometimes the biggest issues are technical ones. Other times, the biggest issue is that too much attention has been placed on the technical architecture to the exclusion of other essential factors. A software architecture review is one tool that helps reveal architectural risks and strengths as well as uncover unidentified issues that need addressing. A software architect needs to compellingly present the software architecture and build confidence that key architectural decisions have been thoughtfully made. An effective reviewer needs to be skilled at quickly interpreting complex information, asking probing questions, and effectively giving advice. Both architects and reviewers can benefit from being aware of biases that get in the way of people interpreting information and tactics for overcoming these biases <strong>Presenter Bio</strong> Rebecca Wirfs-Brock, president of Wirfs-Brock Associates and IEEE Software's Design Columnist, is a well-known and respected software practitioner. She invented the way of thinking about objects known as Responsibility-Driven Design and is the lead author of Object Design: Roles, Responsibilities, and Collaborations (2003) and the classic Designing Object-Oriented Software (1990). Through her writing, teaching, consulting, and speaking she popularizes the use of informal techniques and thinking tools for architects, designers, and analysts. Rebecca is a past board member of the Agile Alliance and one of the co-founders of the Agile Open Northwest conference. Most recently she reviewed enterprise architectures and major designs, developed courses on agile use cases, enterprise application design and developing and communicating software architecture. She mentors teams on agile design, object modeling, architecture, agile use case writing, meshing usage scenarios with use cases and agile user stories, and managing incremental, iterative projects. She practices what she teaches! <strong>About the Rose City SPIN:</strong> The Rose City Software Process Improvement Network (SPIN) is a monthly forum for networking, mutual support, and promotion of effective software practices. We exchange practical experiences, ideas, knowledge, wisdom, and war stories about the technical, business, and human facets of software process improvement. The Rose City SPIN serves the software development community of the Portland/Vancouver metro area. Whether you work for a large company or a small one, corporate or self-employed, industrial or academic setting, you are welcome at the Rose City SPIN.

create Calagator::Event 1250458119 Portland Linux/Unix Group: Drupal! What is it good for? Roll back

description nil → PRESENTATION Drupal What is it Good For? by Lev Tsypin Drupal is growing leaps and bounds these days, powering everything from ma and pa brochure sites to Obama’s recovery.gov. Does this mean it’s a great fit for any website? Not exactly. Drupal has been defined as many things, including a content management system, a web application framework, and community plumbing. In some ways, this is both a blessing and a curse; there’s so much you can do, in so many different ways, that new users are crushed under the weight of the options and lack of clarity. In addition, all of that flexibility does come with a cost, in terms of performance and conciseness. This presentation will cover some Drupal basics including history, core concepts, and system structure. From there, we will dig into Drupal’s strengths and weaknesses, finishing off by discussing the types of projects Drupal is best suited for, including specific examples for each case. My hope is that developers new to the platform will gain a better understanding of when to approach a new project with Drupal, more experienced developers will gain a bit of insight on when not to use it, and non-techies will have some help in choosing a platform for their projects along with an understanding why developers they work with select a given platform. Please note that this talk will not delve deeply into the technical details of Drupal.

The goal is to show the space, and have discussions on where to go from here, now that we have space. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come, so come on down, and bring your friend. Be aware, it is completely raw right now - bare cement, wires hangingdown, etc - it will need a lot of work. Also, we have no furniture at all right now, so if you have to sit, bring a chair, or sit on the floor.

description nil → It's that time again! The CyborgCamp conference date will be in early May of 2010. That means its time to start planning! This meeting is your chance to brainstorm on location ideas, sponsors and speakers. What kinds of topics are of interest to you? How has the idea of Cyborg evolved over the year? We'll discuss volunteers and the wiki too. Come along, especially if you helped make CyborgCamp PDX '08 so excellent in the first place. Bring snacks and drinks to share with others. This planning meeting will most likely be followed by general networking and fun at a local haunt. --- Why May 2010? In March 2010, CyborgCamp will make its way to Brazil and back before landing again in Portland, Oregon for its second year. Questions? Contact Amber Case @caseorganic or MJ @mama_j. You can also follow @cyborgcamp on Twitter for updates.
