HackPDX(schools)
Roll back
| description |
You're invited to HackPDX - a 12 hour hackathon with a theme of k-12 public education.
HackPDX was dreamed up and put together by two high school students. Our theme is especially dear to us; we’re both passionately involved in tech and software development, but we’re tied to a system that sometimes lags behind that innovation.
There’s no question that “STEM” is a buzzword in public education now. Technology in education is okay, but technology for education is still lacking. Many schools are still organized on outdated software, counterintuitive at best and byzantine at worst. We decided that when tech solutions get in the way of learning there’s a broken system to fix.
Thanks to our sponsors including Orchestrate, Twilio, Sendgrid, CrowdCompass, HackOregon, Cloudability, Simple, Treehouse, and New Relic. |

**Portland's premier civic hackathon, bringing together software engineers and policymakers to change education.**
**Who & What** HackPDX is a 12 hour hackathon with a theme of public education. We’re inviting software developers & graphic designers to come work on solutions to some really interesting problems. The event is totally free, but you should register soon - spots are filling up!
**Why** Public education is slow to innovate, and we’ve found that Portland lacks hackathons. We want to change this. Come share ideas, free food, and code for a twelve-hour Saturday event.
**How** Bring a computer and anything else you’ll need for twelve hours of hacking. You’ll get $500 in credit for Google’s Cloud Platform, along with an index of APIs and other tools. Mentors from our sponsors will be on hand to provide advice and assistance.
**When & Where** New Relic is hosting us at their newly-expanded beautiful Portland office, at 111 SW 5th Ave #2800. The event will run from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM August 30th, 2014. |

If you need some time and space to get your QS project moving and you're ready to roll up your sleeves, this is the meetup for you!
Bring your project and use this time to make some progress on it in the company of other QSers working towards similar goals. This is also a chance to chat how-tos with others who may have tackled the same struggles that you are having, and to talk shop about everything from making hardware, to data processing, to visualization and meaning.
It can be boisterous when ideas are flowing, and dead silent as they're being applied, so be ready for both. |

Portland F# Meetup

Let's meet up and chat about F# in the web world.
Ryan Riley (@panesofglass) is a proud member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie class of ‘01, a Visual F# MVP, and Engineer for Tachyus, a start-up using F# to profoundly revolutionize the oil & gas industry. He runs the Community for F# virtual user group and serves on the management committee for the Open Web Interface for .NET (OWIN) specification.
F# on the Web
Most people think of F# as good at math or complex problem solving. It is actually a fantastic for a very wide array of tasks, including web programming, which helped the start-up Tachyus go from 0 to production in 12 weeks. In this talk, we'll compare and contrast a web application written in familiar C# patterns with various features provided by F#, including function composition, computation expressions (async), type providers, and active patterns. We'll also cover differences in application design patterns.
Since Ryan is remote, we're going to host this in Google Hangouts, so even if you're not able to physically make it to the hangout, come join us! It is going to be a great time. Looking forward to see everybody there! |

Bring your Linux computer that is being a brat and we'll teach it some manners. Or bring your computer that has some evil operating system on it and we'll send it home with a shiny, clean Linux distro. Or just come and look over shoulders to see what Linux is all about.
If you already know Linux well, the Clinic is also a good place to learn how to help users troubleshoot problems. It's excellent training for tech support work in Linux.
We have monitors, mice, keyboards, and miscellanous other perifpherals, so generally all you need to bring is the box.
There will also be coffee and people usually bring munchies as well. After all, you can't do computers on an empty tummy.

Who: Jared Boone, Kenny McElroy and you<br>
What: Software-Defined Radio Hack Session<br>
Where: Free Geek, 1731 SE 10th Avenue, Portland (Left Entrance)<br>
When: Tuesday, August 19th, 2014 at 7pm<br>
Why: The pursuit of technology freedom<br>
Stream: http://pdxlinux.org/live<br>
IRC: irc.geekshed.net #pdxlinux
Software-Defined Radio Hack Session
Want to get into software-defined radio hacking but don't know where to start? Bring your laptop and an RTL-SDR dongle, HackRF, BladeRF, USRP, or other SDR hardware to this hack session and get expert help.
Jared Boone and Kenny McElroy will be on hand to help install and configure software and explain concepts. Do try to install GNU Radio on your computer before you come, since it can be a long, slow process. If you get into trouble, we will do their best to get you unstuck. For those who come with GNU Radio already functional, we will advise you on things to experiment with. If you do not already own a software-defined radio, purchasing an RTL-SDR dongle from HackerWarehouse.com or NooElec.com is recommended. They are quite inexpensive ($15 to $20) but very functional and a great way to get started in software-defined radio.
Bring some radio-based toys to hack on! If you can't make this meeting, be sure to watch Calagator, where Jared and Kenny will be starting an SDR meetup in the next few weeks.
Jared Boone has an ongoing obsession with software-defined radio. He helped with the design and coding of the HackRF SDR and has done some privacy-related work, particularly around automotive tire pressure monitors. He is a frequent user of GNU Radio, baudline, and radio signal processing techniques.
Kenny McElroy is a computer security researcher, focused on improving understanding and visualization of how the ones and zeros of computer security move around in the real world.
Organizer's Notes: Ham Radio Outlet in Tigard has a number of good magazines including the July/August QEX which features an article on GNU Radio. You may also want to read:<br>
http://www.csun.edu/~skatz/katzpage/sdr_project/sdr/grc_tutorial1.pdf<br>
I can also help you set up FreeBSD-current with GNU Radio.
Many will head to the Lucky Lab on Hawthorne after the meeting.

CHIFOO Workshop: Fieldwork 4 Human Computer Interaction (1 of 4)
Roll back
| description |
Fieldwork for Human Computer Interaction: A 4-Part Workshop on Ethnographically-Informed Fieldwork
Sara Bly and Françoise Cottan-Brun
A growing number of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researchers and practitioners use the results of fieldwork to guide the design and evaluate the user experience of interactive systems and technologies. Why? Because data about real people in real situations spurs creativity and innovation around practical challenges, resulting in more useful and usable artifacts.
Fieldwork for HCI typically consists of firsthand observations made in the naturally occurring environment of use (as opposed to studies performed in a controlled environment). Many techniques are adapted from anthropology – particularly ethnography.
As the mobile app and manufacturing industries grow in Oregon, UX designers are increasingly recruited from out-of-state. The Computer-Human Interaction Forum of Oregon - CHIFOO - recognizes a local need for more basic training in this area.
Workshop Format
This practicum is a new offering by CHIFOO, separate from the popular monthly guest lecture series. Developed with industry experts Sara Bly and Françoise Cottan-Brun, this unique pilot program serves as a first test model for future educational programs by CHIFOO.
To conduct fieldwork well, the researcher needs the knowledge, ability and access to observe the activities and complexities of people within the context of their day-to-day pursuits. This makes it difficult to practice in a classroom-only or online environment. The methodology is best learned by apprenticeship and experience.
Each session builds on the prior one. Participants are expected to attend three private classroom sessions, to complete group assignments in between, and to ‘report out’ on the experience in teams at the last session, an open CHIFOO event. Sessions will be held:
Sunday, October 5, 12-4 pm
Wednesday, October 15 6-9 pm
Wednesday, October 29, 6-9 pm
Wednesday, November 12, 6-9 pm
Who Should Participate?
The practicum is tailored especially towards locals who seek a better command and understanding of the skills utilized by User Experience Analysts, Design Engineers, and Interaction Designers.
To make the learning experience as rich, collaborative and personalized as possible, the # of participants is capped at 16. Group exercises are designed to be completed in teams of 2-4.
About the Instructors
Dr. Sara Bly – Head Instructor – Sara Bly has been an active researcher and practitioner in qualitative user studies for more than 25 years. Ethnographically-informed fieldwork is a major component of her user experience studies, which focus on understanding the context of an activity as well as the specific user task. During Sara’s tenure at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, she served on multi-disciplinary teams with anthropologists, designers, and computer scientists. Sara has worked in a variety of companies and development teams, and has experience teaching user study techniques for both industry and academia. She holds a PhD in Computer Science from University of California, Davis. Currently Sara Bly lives in Oregon and consults nationally.
Francoise Brun-Cottan, Phd – Instructor - Anthropologist Francoise Brun-Cottan spent over a decade as a Work Place Ethnographer and Interaction Analyst with Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center). Specialties include:
Integration of ethnographic insights with engineering research, product/services development and design to inform innovation.
Ethnography - Observation and interviewing, analysis and representations of work practices and user experience. Video ethnography
Conversation and Interaction Analysis
Work Practice and Participatory Design Studies.
Currently Francoise Brun-Cottan consults for libraries, government agencies, large corporations and research agencies.
Clodine Mallinckrodt – Facilitator – From Wall Street to MarCom Way, Clodine Mallinckrodt’s varied background spans the early days of interactive multimedia and distance learning to data security and strategy consulting. Currently, Clodine is Manager of Ambulatory Reporting & Analytics for Providence Health & Services, where she enjoys enabling analyst teams to deliver data visualization and exploration tools to healthcare executives throughout the west. She helped develop new Providence Consumer Segments, is a GE-certified Change Facilitator, and trained in Lean. Based in Portland, OR, Clodine Mallinckrodt is Program Co-Chair for CHIFOO.

Fieldwork for HCI typically consists of firsthand observations made in the naturally occurring environment of use (as opposed to studies performed in a controlled environment). Many techniques are adapted from anthropology – particularly ethnography.
As the mobile app and manufacturing industries grow in Oregon, UX designers are increasingly recruited from out-of-state. The Computer-Human Interaction Forum of Oregon - CHIFOO - recognizes a local need for more basic training in this area.
Workshop Format
This practicum is a new offering by CHIFOO, separate from the popular monthly guest lecture series. Developed with industry experts Sara Bly and Françoise Brun-Cottan, this unique pilot program serves as a first test model for future educational programs by CHIFOO.
To conduct fieldwork well, the researcher needs the knowledge, ability and access to observe the activities and complexities of people within the context of their day-to-day pursuits. This makes it difficult to practice in a classroom-only or online environment. The methodology is best learned by apprenticeship and experience.
Each session builds on the prior one. Participants are expected to attend three private classroom sessions, to complete group assignments in between, and to ‘report out’ on the experience in teams at the last session, an open CHIFOO event. Sessions will be held:
Sunday, October 5, 12-4 pm
Wednesday, October 15 6-9 pm
Wednesday, October 29, 6-9 pm
Wednesday, November 12, 6-9 pm
Who Should Participate?
The practicum is tailored especially towards locals who seek a better command and understanding of the skills utilized by User Experience Analysts, Design Engineers, and Interaction Designers.
To make the learning experience as rich, collaborative and personalized as possible, the # of participants is capped at 16. Group exercises are designed to be completed in teams of 2-4.

Workshop Format
This practicum is a new offering by CHIFOO, separate from the popular monthly guest lecture series. Developed with industry experts Sara Bly and Françoise Cottan-Brun, this unique pilot program serves as a first test model for future educational programs by CHIFOO.
To conduct fieldwork well, the researcher needs the knowledge, ability and access to observe the activities and complexities of people within the context of their day-to-day pursuits. This makes it difficult to practice in a classroom-only or online environment. The methodology is best learned by apprenticeship and experience.
Each session builds on the prior one. Participants are expected to attend three private classroom sessions, to complete group assignments in between, and to ‘report out’ on the experience in teams at the last session, an open CHIFOO event. Sessions will be held:
Sunday, October 5, 12-4 pm
Wednesday, October 15 6-9 pm
Wednesday, October 29, 6-9 pm
Wednesday, November 12, 6-9 pm |

Are you building your own website? Indie reader? Personal publishing web app? Or some other digital magic-cloud proxy? If so, come on by and join a gathering of people with likeminded interests. Bring your friends that want to start a personal web site. Exchange information, swap ideas, talk shop, help work on a project, whatever!
This week's Portland meetup is part of [PDX DevWeek](http://pdx.devweek.org/), so we will be running it as more of an unstructured hack night rather than the traditional format.
