Create a Realistic Funding Plan

Angel investors will not fund an idea - especially not for a first-time entrepreneur. They won't even fund a business plan. Fortunately there are sources of funding available to the early stage entrepreneur. We'll talk about those in this workshop, and walk through a realistic early-stage startup funding strategy. So you'll know right up front what it takes to get funded.

Erlang and Elixir Meetup
Roll back
| description |
The next PDX Erlang and Elixir Meetup is this Wednesday from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at CrowdCompass. Mexican food from Los Gorditos will be provided. Vegan and gluten free options available. Let me know if there is something specific you'd like from their menu (links at bottom).
There's still room on the agenda if you have something to discuss, otherwise we'll open it up for general discussion. The agenda so far:
Stephen Peters will give a recap of his time at Erlang Factory in San Francisco earlier this month and possibly demo a new monitoring tool for the Erlang VM.
Daniel Hedlund will be giving a brief overview of erlank.mk, rebar and relx and how they fit into the Erlang app development ecosystem. He will also present a bare bones cowboy app and go over each of its components, and how to pull in other dependencies like redis and json libraries. The app will be made available on GitHub so you can clone and experiment after the meeting.

The next PDX Erlang and Elixir Meetup is this Wednesday from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at CrowdCompass. Mexican food from Los Gorditos will be provided. Vegan and gluten free options available. Email [email protected] if there is something specific you'd like to try from their menu (links at bottom).
There's still room on the agenda if you have something to discuss, otherwise we'll open it up for general discussion. The agenda so far:
Stephen Peters will give a recap of his time at Erlang Factory in San Francisco earlier this month and possibly demo a new monitoring tool for the Erlang VM.
Daniel Hedlund will be giving a brief overview of erlank.mk, rebar and relx and how they fit into the Erlang app development ecosystem. He will also present a bare bones cowboy app and go over each of its components, and how to pull in other dependencies like redis and json libraries.

OpenStack Northwest User Group Meetup: OpenStack + Ceph = A match made in heaven
Roll back
| description |
You don't get too many second chances in life, but if you missed Ian Colle's presentation in Denver this February, and you happen to be in Portland on March 19, then you're in luck.
Ian is the Director of Engineering at Inktank, the company delivering Inktank Ceph Enterprise. He will be flying over to discuss Ceph integration with OpenStack at a deep technical level, and also for the beer.
Ceph is a fully open source distributed object store, network block device, and file system designed for reliability, performance, and scalability from terabytes to exabytes. Ceph offers a Swift and S3-compatible REST API for seamless data access, a network block device for large images or volumes, and native support for Qemu/KVM, libvirt, CloudStack, and OpenStack which makes it quite a versatile storage platform. Join us for a walkthrough of the Ceph architecture, its current status, how it integrates with OpenStack, and plans for future development.
Prior to Inktank, Ian held positions in Intel’s High Performance Data Division and Whamcloud’s High Performance Computing team. He is an avid trail runner who thinks running up the sides of mountains is an enjoyable way to exercise.
Please RSVP so we can ensure food and drinks are adequate.
See you then. |

Erlang and Elixir Meetup
Roll back
| description |
Come join local Portland Erlangers!
What people want to know:
• How do I package up my Erlang application to distribute it to other people?
• What's the best way to debug Erlang?
• What other things should I know to comfortably develop in Erlang?
Join us to learn about these topics and share what you know.
Also I will be freshly returned from the biggest Erlang event in the US - Erlang Factory San Francisco: http://www.erlang-factory.com/conference/show/conference-6/home/
I'll be able to demo a new tool for monitoring the Erlang VM.
Thanks to our meeting hosts, CrowdCompass! If you have any trouble finding us, please just ring my mobile: 503.575.0815
Hope to see you there!

Building Highly Engaged Technical Teams
Roll back
| description |

→ |
To build a truly exceptional technical team, you need to do 3 things: engage them, enable them, and energize them.
Join the DAMA Portland Chapter to welcome Paul Spencer, an expert collaboration leader on the topic of Building Highly Engaged Technical Teams.
More details and registration at: http://www.damapdx.org/
Employees of DAMA Corporate Members are FREE!
<h2>Summary</h2>
Technical team leaders are often highly trained in their chosen field. But they’re also often not trained in how to lead a team. They know that leadership is just as important as the technical side of the job (if not more so), but they’ve been left to figure out how to do it for themselves. They’re frustrated because they haven’t got the toolkit they need to get the best out of their team.
In this interactive presentation, we'll cover the following topics:
- The benefits of having a highly engaged team
- How to engage, enable and energize your project team
- Aligning the team on communication styles and workplace values
- Empowering the team through servant leadership
- Creating and sustaining a culture of high performance
- Building performance drivers into the daily experience
- Simple techniques for maintaining momentum

Dynamic Tracing with DTrace and SystemTap - Portland Linux/Unix Group Advanced Topics
Roll back
| description |
Daniel Hedlund will be giving an intermediate to advanced level talk on DTrace and SystemTap.
DTrace (http://dtrace.org/blogs/about/) is a dynamic tracing framework, originally developed for Solaris, has been released under the CDDL license and ported to many other Unix-like OSes including FreeBSD, OS X and Linux. SystemTap (https://sourceware.org/systemtap/) provides similar functionality to DTrace but is Linux specific and released under the GPL.
Dynamic tracing tools make it possible to safely inject instrumentation points (probes) into running applications on production environments; no recompilation is necessary and there is only minimal performance overhead when being used, and no overhead when not. Probes can be used to gather performance metrics to identify bottlenecks, create aggregate statistics such as the size distribution of filesystem writes, or to introspect arguments passed to individual functions in a running application without ever taking it offline.
PLUG: Portland's monthly, three-track tech conference!
First Thursday: General Meeting at PSU
Third Tuesday: Advanced Topics at Free Geek
Third Sunday: Hands-on Clinic at Free Geek
PLUG will celebrate 20 years of delivering conference-quality Linux, Unix and technology speakers this year! Most speakers are announced about two weeks in advance but some are last minute. Watch Calagator and the PLUG mailing lists for the latest news.
Many attendees will break for a social hour after the Third Tuesday meeting at the Lucky Lab on Hawthorne after the meeting
See you there! |

| description |
We're going to get together and install [Camlistore](http://camlistore.org/).
Camlistore is a *"personal storage system for life"*, similar in some ways to Dropbox, Google+, and Git, but with an open and decentralized architecture designed to respect the rights of individual content creators.
Here are some project ideas, any of which you could do either in preparation for the meetup or during. If you'd like to do one of the advanced projects, make sure to get Camlistore running ahead of time.
- Install and run Camlistore on your laptop, and play with the web interface and `cammount`, `camput` and `camget` commands
Advanced ideas
- Set up a remote store on an existing VPS using S3 using [this recipe](https://gist.github.com/edrex/9539436)
- Install the [Android app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.camlistore) and sync some photos.
- Build and install the iOS app to sync photos
- Run camlistore on an internet connected home server such as a Beaglebone Black (@edrex will likely bring one as a project)
- Render a public facing website out of Camlistore using a publish root and go templates
- Try out various sharing modes |
