description nil → Rose City Software Process Improvement (SPIN) Seminar [free event, open to public] Title: Moving to Agile Development: What Went Right, What Went Wrong Presenter: Ray Arell Dates/Times: Thursday, February 11th, 2010; Networking @ 6:00 PM; Seminar 7:00-8:00 PM Location: Hillsboro Main Library, Main Library Meeting Room, 2850 NE Brookwood Parkway, Hillsboro, OR 97124 Abstract: A while ago I went into my software staff and declared “Hey! We are going Agile!” Yep, I read an Agile project management book on a long flight to India, and like all good reactionary development managers I was sold! A few years later our adaptation of the Scrum framework has taken shape, but it was not without strain on our development, test, and other Q/A processes. This session focuses on a retrospective of what went right and more importantly what went wrong as we evolved to our new development process and the effect it had on our team. Perhaps it will convince you that the shift to Agile is the way to go, and hopefully give you just a little more info on what you may be in for. Speaker Bio: Ray Arell is a Senior Engineering Manager and Agilist at Intel. He has over 21 years of hardware and software development, validation, and management experience. During his tenure, he has worked on a variety of teams focused on CPU, chipsets, and graphics system-level testing. Today he manages an Agile software engineering team in Intel's Business Client Platform Division and he is a leading force in the Agilization of Intel. Ray is also co-author of Change-Based Test Management: Improving the Software Validation Process (ISBN: 0971786127), and has delivered keynotes at StarWest/EuroStar, STANZ 2008 Wellington/Sydney, QA&Test 2005/6 Bilbao, and speaker at many other events worldwide. A Special Treat from PNSQC: Plan on coming early! In collaboration with the Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference (PNSQC) the SPIN meeting will have pizza provided by PNSQC beginning at 6:00 pm.

update Calagator::Event 1250458267 Portland Linux/Unix Group: A Talk by Jeri Ellsworth (SICK: RESCHEDULING!) Roll back

description <H1>WARNING!!!</H1> <h2>Jeri is sick and can't do the talk tonight. Working on a replacement. Please Standby!</H2> 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 persue 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 from the talk she gave at Sanford, it should be very good indeed. See a video of her Sanford talk at: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1053309060448851979# Also, see her webs sites at: http://www.jeriellsworth.com/ and http://www.fatmanandcircuitgirl.com/ → <H1>WARNING!!!</H1> <h2>Jeri is sick and can't do the talk tonight.</H2> <h2>Informal DorkBotPDX demo night instead!</h2> In place of Jeri, I have some offers to do demos of projects from DorkBotPDX land, including Simran Gleason about his Kepler's Orrery (a generative music system that composes music from gravity equations), I have a little stepper motor demo, someone suggested they could demo Luz (a ruby / opengl 4-d drawing software), and there may be others.

description nil → Join OEN and speaker Naomi Derner for an OEN Workshop Thursday, March 4th from 4:00-6:00 P.M. As an early stage entrepreneur looking for the first round of funding, one of the most daunting tasks may be determining the valuation of your company. In this workshop, we will cover the basics of valuing a seed or launch stage company, and answer some questions, such as: * Who sets the valuation - the company or the investor? * What does pre-money and post-money valuation mean? How do I calculate it? * How do I value my company if we don’t yet have revenues? * How do investors determine the valuation? * How have valuations changed in the economic downturn? We'll explain the terminology, demystify the math and explain some of the ways that valuation is set during the funding process. There will be plenty of time for Q&A, so come armed with your questions and be ready to participate in a lively discussion about valuing early stage companies. To sign up for this workshop, or for more information visit http://www.oen.org/events.aspx?id=133

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: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1053309060448851979# Also, see her webs sites at: http://www.jeriellsworth.com/ and http://www.fatmanandcircuitgirl.com/ → PRESENTATION A Talk by Jeri Ellsworth (Circuit Girl) Jeri Ellsworth is a native Oregonian, born in Yamhill and raised in Dallas, Oregon.

update Calagator::Event 1250458271 SAO Corvallis Febuary Tech Pub: Co-Working in Oregon Roll back

description 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 and—you guessed it—Madison 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, 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. → Thursday, Febuary 11th, 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.
