Agile PDX Evening: “A Matter of Survival: What Wilderness Survival Can Tell Us about Software Development.”
Roll back
| description |
“A Matter of Survival: What Wilderness Survival Can Tell Us about Software Development.”
In a book titled Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why, Lawrence Gonzales explores the qualities of individuals and groups who survive under extraordinary conditions. This presentation asserts that there are similarities between an extended trek through the woods and software development, and that the qualities that enable one to survive in the woods can help us to be more successful in our projects. Along the way, it borrows from recent research in Neuroscience, Psychology, and Systems Science to provide some understanding about how and why fostering these qualities might be helpful. |

Portland Ruby Brigade monthly meeting
Roll back

We'll have pizza & beer starting at 6pm, so stop by early if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations.
# PRESENTATIONS at 7pm
#
After presentations we'll have more socializing time.
# Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month!
#
ARRIVING BY BIKE? Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 28th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 28th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking.
<em>ABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade, also known as pdxruby and pdx.rb, is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland, Oregon area. The group welcomes all programmers interested in the language and its implementations, tools, libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails. The group has been meeting since August 2002 for presentations, demos and discussions. Every month 35-75 people come together to share their knowledge, projects and enthusiasm for Ruby. If you'd like to present or have a topic you'd like discussed, please post to the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/pdxruby">mailing list</a>. The group usually meets on the first Tuesday of the month, "Ruby Tuesday" -- see you there!

Your software is peer-produced. Why not your conference? Open Source Bridge is pioneered and planned by a team of open source developers and technologists. Join them!
You get free admission to the conference, we get 8 hours of your time (it doesn't have to be all at once).
We need people to help set everything up, organize meals, run speaker sessions, throw a party, pour a few pints, man the hacker lounge, and tear it all down at the end. If any of that sounds like something you could do, sign up here, http://volunteer.opensourcebridge.org |

Google Fiber Vote at Portland City Council - Clone
Roll back

The five commissioners of the City of Portland vote this morning on the proposal for Google Fiber.
Google has requested that Portland and surrounding suburbs ready the area for potential future gigabit residential service. Google will evaluate cities across the country and select a few for Internet and TV services. https://fiber.google.com/newcities/
Current thinking is that a decision would be made by Google late this year, early next; and construction would span 2015-17 if Portland is selected.
You can watch at https://www.portlandoregon.gov/article/230361
The discussion is Item #605. The testimony has already been completed, but a full chamber of Portlanders in person who want Google Fiber is important to the project.
The time is approximate because the Council has a myriad of items to vote upon. Although the meeting room is formal, you can come and go easily.
Commissioners love to hear your thoughts and ideas to make Portland better - you can contact them by the website portlandoregon.gov, year round.
Google measures city interest and prioritizes neighborhoods by you entering your address as interested in Google Fiber at https://fiber.google.com/about/ under Check Address.

Come along and talk to Sam Ladner, the author of the super-useful and well-received new book, [*Practical Ethnography: A Guide to Doing Ethnography in the Private Sector*](http://www.practicalethnography.com/).
Sam's book is aimed at two groups of people:
1. Social scientists who want to adapt their academic skills to the private sector, either to find a full-time job or to practice as an independent researcher; and
2. Designers and researchers already working in the private sector who may not have formal training in ethnography.
Sam is based in Seattle but is coming to Portland to talk to us. Don't miss this opportunity to talk about the research skills that are so critical in creating successful products.
**Note: if you haven't finished the book, please still come along and join the conversation** |

DAMAPDX: Importing Data and Semantic Data Integration for the Data Warehouse
Roll back
| description |
The DAMA Portland Chapter is dedicated to delivering thought provoking data-centric presentations that will make you more successful in your job.
More enterprises are importing data from external sources (which they cannot control), and integrating that data either into their operational systems or into their data warehouse. Data from external (uncontrolled) sources can be problematic because (1) their logical data architecture can be different, and (2) they can morph their architecture, scope, or definitions of the data which you receive without telling you. Hence, the need for a rigorous declaration of expectations in the agreement to establish that data flow and business relationship.
This presentation will focus upon data import, and semantic data integration.
Mr. Scofield has spoken on these topics for over 14 years, and will use numerous (painful) examples.
<h2> About the Presenter </h2>
Michael Scofield is an Assistant Professor in Health Information Management at Loma Linda University in the Department of Health Information Management. He was a 2007 nominee for the DAMA Intl. Award for Professional Achievement. He is a frequent speaker to a variety of professional and general audiences on topics of data management, data quality, data warehouse design, and data visualization. His career has included education and private industry in the areas of data quality, decision-support systems, data warehousing, and data management. His articles appear in DM Review, the B-Eye Newsletter, InformationWeek magazine, the IBI Systems Journal, and other professional journals. He also has humor published in the L.A. Times and other journals.
<h2> Cost </h2>
Free for members and employees of corporate members.
$15 for guests. See the DAMAPDX site for list of corporate members |

CHIFOO Meeting: Give Dimensions, a Face, and a Beating Heart to Projects Through Storytelling
Roll back
| description |
Give Dimensions, a Face, and a Beating Heart to Projects Through Storytelling with B. Frayn Masters, Back Fence PDX
Since qualitative research, or market research, can largely be spit out by a computer, we’ll take a look at how one can move beyond big data and do what a computer cannot do—go inside the head of a person and learn about their motivations and goals. Humanity’s experience is constantly shifting and so is the motivation behind our fears and goals, and that shift changes how we experience and use things. Story allows one to put a finger on that pulse. Story gets right to the bottom of things, it uncovers how the user will actually use the product in this time/place, how they will experience it in their lives, in their own home/office etc. Story is research above market “fill in the blank” research. It exposes rituals, and when one works to streamline those rituals, innovation enters. Discovering this level of story has another great benefit: it can be used to created scene stealing pitches in front of clients. One can stand in front a user or a client and paint out the story of how this will be a great new part of their lives. |

Galois tech talk: Haskell Bytes
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
speaker: Joachim Breitner
abstract: We will take you on a guided tour through the memory of a running Haskell program and get to peek at the raw bytes of Haskell values. We’ll see how uniformity allows for polymorphic functions and data structures, where the garbage collector finds the information it needs and learn to predict how large certain values tend to become. With the help of a visualization tool (ghc-vis) we will also see laziness and sharing at work, and reveal the mystery of how Haskell fits infinite data structures into a finite amount of memory.
bio: Joachim Breitner is a PhD student at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany, where he works on the semantics of lazy functional programming language and on interactive theorem provers. He maintains the Haskell packages for Debian and Ubuntu and contributes to GHC. When he is AFK, he enjoys board games, swing dancing, softball and paragliding. |

First talk at 7 PM - come early for networking or hacking.
Hacking the Raspberry Pi’s VideoCore IV GPU for Fun, but Definitely Not for Profit (7:00-7:30 PM)
Let’s delve into the murky, semi-open-source guts of the Pi’s GPU! We’ll explore its architecture, check out some sweet hacks and reverse-engineering efforts, and live-code a bare-metal QPU app in assembly. Whether you’re on a mission for open hardware or just morbidly curious, come for a discussion of why anyone would spend their time digging into a closed firmware blob, as well as some speculation about the future of low-power hardware accelerators like the VideoCore.
