update Calagator::Event 1250457339 CHIFOO: Reading and Collaborating in a Digital Age Roll back

description Reading is an inherently social experience: what we read and how we read it is shaped by who we know and the broader communities we belong to. With that in mind, Cathy Marshall from Microsoft Research will take a fresh look at the future of eBooks and how we get there from here. In particular, she will share some findings from a body of studies of reading-related activities (such as annotation and clipping) and will draw on her experiences with several generations of eBook products, including Microsoft Reader, ePeriodicals (a reader for magazines like The New Yorker and Esquire), and the Times News Reader (an RSS-based reader for The New York Times). Registration begins 6:30 pm. Program followed by questions from 7 - 9 pm. CHIFOO members get in free. Non-members pay $5 to attend the meeting. → Reading is an inherently social experience: what we read and how we read it is shaped by who we know and the broader communities we belong to.

update Calagator::Event 1250457203 Refresh Portland May: Jared Spool on The Dawning of the Age of Experience Roll back

description Join us for a special installment of Refresh Portland May with Jared Spool! We’re going to move the meeting a week back to May 21. --- Experience design is no longer a nice-to-have luxury of a few organizations with tons of money and exceptional visionary management. It’s become commonplace for organizations that build products and web sites. Experience Design is a centerpiece of boardroom discussions and quickly becoming a key performance indicator for many businesses. However, you can’t just hire a couple of “experience designers” and tell them, “Go do that voodoo that you do so well.” Today’s business environment forces us to build multi-disciplinary teams, compiling a diverse group of skills and experiences to handle the many facets of the technical, business, and user requirements. In his usual entertaining and insightful manner, Jared will talk about what it takes to build a design team that meets today’s needs. He’ll demonstrate how successful Experience Design: * Must integrate the needs of the users with the requirements of the business * Is learned, but not available through introspection * Must be invisible to succeed * Is cultural * Is multi-discplinary * Thrives best in an “educate and administrate” environment You’ll see examples of designs from Apple’s iPod, Netflix, the Mayo Clinic, and Southwest Airlines, to name a few. → Join us for a special installment of Refresh Portland May with Jared Spool!

update Calagator::Event 1250457915 Art is War: Reinventing the Art Sales System with New Media Roll back

description Hazel Dooney is a fine art painter from Australia. She has declared open war on the art gallery system, and she’s winning. She sells her work directly to her fans and she does it mostly through her website and social media, coupled with live showings outside of gallery spaces. Earlier this year Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls created a virtual party for her fans. She didn’t expect it to be anything other than a good time and she stumbled on a way to connect with thousands of her fans directly. It’s now a regular occurrence and she’s figured out how to sell her music & artwork directly to her fans, angering her record label and art traditionalists. Amber Jean, a sculptor living in the woods in Montana, gives her fans an inside look at her studio and the wilds of Montana through her website and video podcasts. Her open communication with her fans has resulted in a huge boost in her art career. In this event we’ll explore how Hazel, Amanda, Amber, and other artists are doing an end run around agents, galleries, and managers in order to connect directly with fans, have more fun, and keep more of the revenue from their art sales for themselves. We’ll also look at how the same approach can work for craft artisans, dancers and other artists. → Hazel Dooney is a fine art painter from Australia.

Note that we have a very limited number of chairs, so if you like sitting down you might want to either show up on the earlier side or bring your own chair. We're also changing up the format this time. You have a choice between a 10 minute or a 5 minute time slot (and yes, we're going to have a stopwatch and a large hook to pull you offstage when your time is up). During your slot, tell us why you're going to change the world and how you are doing it. If you’re interested in sharing your story, send us your idea and if you want 5 or 10 minutes by Monday, October 19th at 9am. We'll then sort through the ideas to curate an interesting evening.

description nil → Social media technology continues to evolve by leaps and bounds. New applications are developed and released on a regular basis, all for the purpose of helping us communicate even more often when we already do, and for creating a tighter social web. We've got the technology. Now what? This discussion focuses on what the etiquette is for using social media to communicate with other people. We ask: When does social media become narcissistic? What is the right approach to cultivate relationships in social media? When do you become a spammer, and how can you stop doing it? How do businesses communicate their brand and marketing while cultivating real relationships? How should businesses handle situations where someone complains about their services? By asking and discussing the question we can start to look at not only what we use social media for, but how we use it to create genuine relationships, while also establishing an etiquette that enables us to maintain those relationships.

create Calagator::Event 1250457915 Art is War: Reinventing the Art Sales System with New Media Roll back

description nil → Hazel Dooney is a fine art painter from Australia. She has declared open war on the art gallery system, and she’s winning. She sells her work directly to her fans and she does it mostly through her website and social media, coupled with live showings outside of gallery spaces. Earlier this year Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls created a virtual party for her fans. She didn’t expect it to be anything other than a good time and she stumbled on a way to connect with thousands of her fans directly. It’s now a regular occurrence and she’s figured out how to sell her music & artwork directly to her fans, angering her record label and art traditionalists. Amber Jean, a sculptor living in the woods in Montana, gives her fans an inside look at her studio and the wilds of Montana through her website and video podcasts. Her open communication with her fans has resulted in a huge boost in her art career. In this event we’ll explore how Hazel, Amanda, Amber, and other artists are doing an end run around agents, galleries, and managers in order to connect directly with fans, have more fun, and keep more of the revenue from their art sales for themselves. We’ll also look at how the same approach can work for craft artisans, dancers and other artists.

Tell everyone about the hours and hours spent updating profiles, twittering, texting and how you loved every minute of it. All are welcome. Skeptics and lurkers feel free to watch the show. Come dressed in Halloween costumes if you’d like, it will only add to the hilarity. Drinks will be provided. The event will be held in the Open Space at AIPDX.

The finished pieces will be available for hands-on play and discovery, and the source code freely downloadable. As an attendee, you will get to experience these new pieces and interact with them directly. If a piece piques your interest, download the source code and figure out how they made it. Nina Paley created a feature-length animated film, ‘Sita Sings The Blues’, and made the source content available. Now, artists around the world are taking those pieces and creating new works – in effect, having a conversation with Ms. Paley, and by continuing to make their works open and remixable, the conversation widens with each new piece.

description nil → Online Video: everybody’s doing it these days, but are they doing it right? Probably not. Creating high quality video content for the web is not quite as simple as whipping out your Flip HD, then uploading to YouTube. That said, it’s a lot easier than most people know (and doesn’t require a two-hour uploading annoyance). We should all be putting more videos online, after all it’s the fastest growing and most popular communication vehicle on the web, but there are better ways to do it. This October, learn a few trade secrets and tips from Andy Beach, a seasoned video compressionist, and use faster, easier and more efficient ways to post better looking videos than all your friends. Andy is the author of Real World Video Compression and oversees all aspects of marking at product management at Elemental Technologies. His vast knowledge of video post-production, compression and interactive design has attracted clients worldwide, including: Microsoft, Major League Baseball, Apple, INC and Adobe Systems, INC.

The building doors are locked; a number to call to be let in will be posted on the front door. pdx.st meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month.
