create Calagator::Event 1250458024 SAOpdx: (Webinar) Optimizing the Software Product Quality through Ethnographic Futures Research Roll back

description nil Presented by the Quality Assurance Forum Software companies have great incentives to gain a competitive edge by improving their software practices and processes. Improving processes and practices is tricky at best. Experience has shown that the desired benefits of improvement initiatives are not seen or rarely last. Improvement initiatives are regarded by developers and QA as the fad de jour. It doesn’t need to be that way. The Ethnographic Futures Research (EFR) methodology eliminates the reasons improvement initiatives fail. It excels at creating a shared vision and forging consensus by using ethnography to set realistic goals and create a strategy to achieve those goals. Meet the Presenters John Prohodsky, Chair, IEE Oregon Section Computer Society Robert B. Textor, Professor Emeritus, Stanford University READ MORE/REGISTER: https://sao.yourmembership.com/events/event_details.asp?id=86171

create Calagator::Event 1250458022 SAOpdx: Where Do You Grow From Here? Think Outside the US Roll back

description nil Presented by the SAO’s International and Finance Forums It’s time to start thinking about how your company is going to take advantage of the opportunities that’ll be in front of you with the upcoming economic growth predicted in the next 12-24 months. To be ready many successful software companies are looking at implementing or expanding their international strategy. Why international? One reason is that many countries are going to lead the US in coming out of the downturn. Case in point is the recent increase in interest rates in Australia - a sign that country will be an early bird in the forthcoming economic rise. Many global markets are already experiencing increases in B to B and B to C sales, job growth and other signs that we are still waiting for in the US. And with the weak dollar your solution may be a bargain in many markets around the world. Hear from a panel of leading software executives how they are positioning their companies in markets outside the US to expand and strengthen their respective organizations. They will also highlight ‘do’s and don’ts’ from their past experiences so that you can avoid their mistakes and take advantage of their success. Panel Bob McCarthy, Vice President/CFO, Tripwire, Inc Tom O'Keefe, Executive Vice President, EthicsPoint Jeff Gaust, President/CEO, Board of Directors, Prolifiq Software Paul Wilde, Chief Financial Officer, Webtrends If you’re looking at how you could make international be a part of your company’s future please join us for this informative and thought provoking session. Who should attend: CEO’s, CFO’s, Business Owners, Business Development Directors, Sales and Marketing Executives or anyone involved in strategic planning.

This month's topic: The Latest in JavaFX Josh will catch us up on the latest JavaFX release, 1.2, which includes lots of improvements to make JavaFX better for real world apps (speed, more controls, charts and graphs). Josh will also give us a sneak preview of features coming in future versions of JavaFX, along with some great demo apps. ---------- Speaker: Joshua Marinacci Joshua Marinacci first tried Java in 1995 at the request of his favorite TA and never looked back. He has spent the last ten years writing Java user interfaces for wireless, web, and desktop platforms. After tiring of web programming with several large companies in the Atlanta area he joined Sun to work on Java user interfaces full-time, first on the Swing team, then NetBeans, and now on the JavaFX tools team. Joshua recently co-authored O'Reilly's Swing Hacks with Chris Adamson. He also contributes to SwingLabs and writes regularly for Java.net.

description nil It's about time we finally try to get people together to talk Scala, so we've decided to have an informal gathering at the Lucky Lab on Wednesday (Nov 18th) at 7PM. This will be a good opportunity to meet others who are interested in Scala and get a sense for what others might be using it for. Feel free to show up even if you're just casually dipping your toes in the water.

description About the Event: In challenging economic times and as competition grows fiercer, many companies find that enforcement of their intellectual property rights is critical to their success. Knock-off products, often from companies outside the United States, eat into sales. But defending your intellectual property is not inexpensive. Three of Portland’s leading companies will tell you how they defend their domestic and foreign markets quickly, efficiently, and inexpensively, and how to make these strategies work on any scale. What will you learn? - How to diversify your IP portfolio to put your company in the best position to defend your markets - How to use the laws of foreign jurisdictions to stop infringing products where they are manufactured - How to use the fastest, most cost-effective IP enforcement actions available Panelists: - Tom Evans, Corporate Patent Attorney at Mentor Graphics will relate lessons from Mentor’s patent infringement lawsuit in China and describe how Mentor uses its IP portfolio to defend its markets around the world. - Julianne Davis, Assistant General Counsel/Intellectual Property at Nike, Inc. will tell you why you should add design patents, trademark registrations, and copyright registrations to your IP portfolios, and how Nike uses its diverse portfolio to police its markets in the US and around the world. - John Motley, Associate General Counsel & Director of Intellectual Property at Columbia Sportswear, will talk about Columbia’s successful use of Thai and other foreign patent and trademark law to combat infringement where products are manufactured. - Tigran Guledjian, a partner at Quinn Emanuel in Los Angeles, practices extensively in complex intellectual property litigation with an emphasis in high technology patent litigation. Tigran will discuss his efforts on behalf of Seiko Epson and other clients to use the International Trade Commission to obtain and use exclusion orders to stop infringing products at the border. Moderator: - Brenna Legaard is a partner at Chernoff Vilhauer McClung & Stenzel, an intellectual property law firm in Portland, Oregon. A seasoned trial lawyer, Brenna brings significant real-world experience to her patent prosecution and opinion practice and routinely helps start ups and publicly traded clients alike prioritize their IP budgets and cost-effectively enforce their rights against infringers.
