create Calagator::Event 1250465689 Bitcoin - A technical introduction. Roll back

description	nil	→	"Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized, peer-to-peer, digital currency and payment system. At its heart is an open source value-transfer protocol that facilitates currency transfers among users without relying on a trusted third party. The protocol employs provable-cryptography to prevent counterfeiting, censorship, double-spending, and account seizures. We'll learn how the bitcoin protocol works, discuss some of its strengths and weaknesses, and dispel some common misperceptions. No prior knowledge of cryptography is required, but a basic understanding of mathematical functions (ie: surjectivity, injectivity, domains, images, preimages, etc) will be assumed."

You might think it's just a question of luck, or that you just have to have a lot of passion for your idea; but it takes the right combination of factors to make such deals happen. The basic premise is obvious: investors want a return on their investment. But how do you get introduced to the right investor for your company? What is going to convince them that they will get a return on the investment? How do you negotiate the deal? One great way to get answers to some of these questions is by hearing the stories of founders who have received funding in the last 6 months. Join us for a panel discussion on closing a round of funding with the founders of the very same companies that featured in the headlines above! Our illustrious panelists are <ul> <li>Tyler McKinley (CEO/Founder of MobileRQ, </li> <li>Josh Blank (SVP/Founder of OpenSesame), </li> <li>Ryan Fink (CEO/Founder of OnTheGo Platforms), </li> <li>Trent Peterson (Co-Founder of AppThwack) </li> </ul> The discussion will be moderated by Monica Enand (Founder/CEO of Zapproved, TiE Charter Member).	→	We often see headlines like these: <ul> <li>"Verizon Investments Leads Funding Round in MobileRQ" </li> <li>"OpenSesame Lands $8M" </li> <li>"OnTheGo Raises 700K Seed Funding from Foundry Group's AngelList Syndicate" </li> <li>"AppThwack gets backing from In-Q-Tel" </li> </ul> If you are an entrepreneur pitching at pitch competitions and to groups of investors, an outcome like that can often seem like a pipe dream.

create Calagator::Event 1250465679 Four F.U.D.s of the Cloud Roll back

description	nil	→	Cloud computing has quickly evolved from marketing terminology and buzzwords to a valuable and often vital way to conduct business and deliver services. With the rapid rate of cloud adoption and the constant change in the industry, it can be confusing to sift through all the information and get to the facts. Join us as we discuss “The Top Four FUDs of the Cloud” in a fun pub environment. The Four FUD Topics and Presenters Are: Differences in Service Delivery (SaaS and on Premise Solutions) --Jorge Zelaya, VP of Client Services at EasyStreet will discuss integrated vs. customized, the importance of renewals (B4B vs. B2B) and the focus on strategy and business outcomes. Security and Compliance -- Adam Shnider, Managing Director, NW Coalfire Systems will discuss SSAE16, HIPPA, PCI, etc. and what customers expect from cloud vendors from a compliance support standpoint, customer requirements, and the minimum requirements everyone should have, and how not all cloud providers and services are created equal. Financial Impacts -- Chris Wheaton, VP of Services at Jive Software will discuss services revenue models and how they differ from being subscription based vs. traditional license and maintenance. He will also discuss how to generate incremental services revenue when there is no longer a defined maintenance revenue stream. Success Stories – Adam Lynch, Founder and Director of Product Development, Hubbub Health will share success stories despite all the F.U.D! The speakers will then host a now classic Reddit-style AMA (Ask Me Anything) session after their presentations, giving attendees a chance to ask questions and add to what’s sure to be a lively discussion. This event will be moderated by Claire Hernandez, VP of Client Services, HealthSparq. Who Should Attend •Decision makers searching to find how cloud fits with their business •Those managing or subscribing to existing cloud based services Event Details: When: Wednesday, March 12th Time: 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM Where: Kells Irish Pub, 112 SW 2nd Ave, Portland, OR 97204 Cost: $25 Members \| $45 Nonmembers Register: http://www.techoregon.org/event?eventid=10338927009 Event Sponsor: ASG Software Solutions

It contains robust implementations of WebSocket, Batch, JSON, Concurrency, JMS2, JAX-RS 2, CDI 1.1, and all Java EE 7 technologies. Undertow is the new cutting-edge web server in WildFly 8 and is designed for maximum throughput and scalability, including environments with over a million connections. The number of ports is reduced used by multiplexing protocols over HTTP using HTTP Upgrade. Role Based Access Control support organizations with separated management responsibilities and restrictions. Roles represent different sets of permissions such as runtime operation execution, configuration areas that can read or written, and the ability to audit changes and manage users. In addition a new restricted audit log can be enabled including the ability to offload to a secure syslog server. WildFly also provides a "core" distribution that is ideal for framework authors that want to build their own application runtime using the powerful WildFly 8 architecture. NetBeans, IntelliJ, and Eclipse allow WildFly to be used for development, deployment, and debugging. ### Speaker James Perkins is a software developer at Red Hat working remotely from Portland, OR. He works on the WildFly Application Server, JBoss EAP, logging frameworks and JBeret (a JSR 352 batch implementation).

description	nil	→	## An exploration of the purpose of rules ... ## We're iconoclasts who reject arbitrary constraints yet long for understandable, predictable, changeable applications. We want code that follows rules yet we refuse to let rules to get in our way. We're deeply attached to the little rules that help get things done (No trailing whitespace! Indent using two spaces!) and despise the big, complicated ones that impose one-size-fits-all straitjackets on otherwise sane programming problems. This talk proposes 5 'little' rules for writing object-oriented code. These rules are determinedly simple yet produce code that experts love and novices can be trusted to change; they fill the space between anarchy and order with practical, common sense. The rules guide without impeding, help without hindering and constrain without binding, and let you create applications that are easy to change and fun to work their whole life long. This is the 4th event in a series of free monthly FutureTalks from disruptive Developers, innovative Technologists and world-changing Creatives. Doors open at 5:30p for food, drinks and networking. The presentation will begin right at 6p. Please RSVP via Eventbrite [HERE](http://bit.ly/1dlKC91) Sandi Metz is a programmer. In the past 30+ years she has written innumerable applications, many of which are still running today. Dealing with long lived applications has left her deeply biased towards practical solutions that produce working software that is easy to change. She is also someone who explains things, but has difficulty speaking without drawing on the whiteboard and feels inarticulate unless the conversation includes at least three colors. She believes in simplicity; simple code, and straightforward explanations, and strives for it in her code and in her writing.

description

We often see headlines like these: * "Verizon Investments Leads Funding Round in MobileRQ" * "OpenSesame Lands $8M" * "OnTheGo Raises 700K Seed Funding from Foundry Group's AngelList Syndicate" If you are an entrepreneur pitching at PitchFests and to groups of investors, an outcome like that can often seem like a pipe dream. You might think it's just a question of luck, or that you just have to have a lot of passion for your idea; but it takes the right combination of factors to make such deals happen. The basic premise is obvious: investors want a return on their investment. But how do you get introduced to the right investor for your company? What is going to convince them that they will get a return on the investment? How do you negotiate the deal? One great way to get answers to some of these questions is by hearing the stories of founders who have received funding in the last 6 months. Join us for a panel discussion on closing a round of funding with the founders of the very same companies that featured in the headlines above. Our panelists are Tyler McKinley (CEO/Founder of MobileRQ, Josh Blank (SVP/Founder of OpenSesame), and Ryan Fink (CEO/Founder of OnTheGo Platforms). The discussion will be moderated by Monica Enand (Founder/CEO of Zapproved, TiE Charter Member).

You might think it's just a question of luck, or that you just have to have a lot of passion for your idea; but it takes the right combination of factors to make such deals happen. The basic premise is obvious: investors want a return on their investment. But how do you get introduced to the right investor for your company? What is going to convince them that they will get a return on the investment? How do you negotiate the deal? One great way to get answers to some of these questions is by hearing the stories of founders who have received funding in the last 6 months. Join us for a panel discussion on closing a round of funding with the founders of the very same companies that featured in the headlines above. Our panelists are - Tyler McKinley (CEO/Founder of MobileRQ, - Josh Blank (SVP/Founder of OpenSesame), - Ryan Fink (CEO/Founder of OnTheGo Platforms). The discussion will be moderated by Monica Enand (Founder/CEO of Zapproved, TiE Charter Member).
