Portland 3D Printing Lab
Roll back

In January 50 Layer Geeks saw the landscape for 3D printing at the 2014 Consumer Electronics show, learned about 3D printing gearboxes (important to print parts for other 3D printers), and heard the sweet sound of a 3D printed violin.
In February, be prepared to learn more about how Portland businesses are making use of 3D printing technology for rapid prototyping as well as in finished goods. For this event we're going to try something new. If you're new to 3D printing, come half hour early and we'll give you an overview of the technology so that you can hit the ground running.
Agenda follows:
0600p : 3D printing for Beginners
0630p : Networking over light food/beverages
0700p : Intro
0710p : Community Q&A - Shout out a question, get it answered
0730p : Speaker 1 (To be Announced)
0750p : Speaker 2 (To be Announced)
0810p : More Networking!
Note 1: If you'd like to bring a printer, let Shashi know, so we can set aside table space.
Note 2: If you have a project or business you'd like to talk about, please contact the group organizer by private message. We're looking for 15-20 minute presentations. Slides aren't necessary, but we have access to a projector and plenty of table space. Good examples would be demonstrations of a new technique/tool, an overview of a service you provide, a unique project you've modeled/printed, etc. If you know a great speaker, please refer them!
Please share this with your network and bring your imagination and enthusiasm. We'd particularly like to get people from bigger corps that are using a lot of 3D printing in their design process (looking at you Nike and Intel :) |

Good Product Managers are the CEOs of their product. They have a Vision, and communicate it effectively, for how their product will grow, evolve, and successfully meet its key objectives. The product roadmap is one of the product manager's key instruments for laying out this vision in more concrete terms, but it's inherently full of challenges. This session will tap into panelists experience to uncover best practices for road mapping including critical factors for feature prioritization, political considerations, and how best to communicate them internally and externally.

**Scaling Agile Adoption into the Enterprise: A Transition Community Based Approach**
Presented by **Aashish Vaidya, Cambia Health Solutions**
<strong>Dates/Times:</strong> Thursday, Feb. 20th, 2014: Networking @ 5:30-6:30 PM; Seminar 6:30-7:30 PM
<strong>Location:</strong> OTBC (Oregon Technology Business Center), 8305 SW Creekside Place, Suite C, Beaverton, Oregon, 97008, 2nd floor
<h3>Abstract:</h3>
Since July of 2011, Cambia Health Solutions, a not-for-profit health solutions company has been transitioning to enterprise wide agile practices. Cambia develops its own software solutions as well as integrates software from other vendors. It has a distributed workforce that spans four states with many work-at-home employees. Cambia’s health insurance business is regulated by various state and national entities. Many of Cambia’s deliverables are large, mandated compliance projects that have a fixed time box and a set scope, driven by external entities. Missing either the deadline or scope could potentially mean losing a significant portion of its business or facing monetary penalties. This brings unique challenges for effective agile adoption, where set templates, cookbooks and recipes may or may not be effective.
In order to transition from a patchwork of agile practices to large-scale agile, Cambia organized an Enterprise Transition Community and other communities. Initially, majority of the transition efforts were focused on rolling out agile to delivery teams and corresponding business areas. The experiences from this phase were shared during PNSQC 2012 presentation. Since, then the transition and transformation efforts continue to extend further at all levels: team, project and portfolio.
This presentation will draw on the experiences shared in the 2012 PNSQC paper as well as augment additional lessons learned during the subsequent year. It will provide insights to company of any size that is looking to make or is in process of making a similar transition. Agilists of all stripes can also benefit from practical in-the-trenches information to bring back to their own organizations.

###**Roadmapping: Best Practices for Determining "What's Next"**
###**PDMA Learning and Networking Event**
###**Thursday, February 20, 2014**
###**6:00 - 8:00 PM**
Your Oregon Chapter of the Product Development and Management Association (PDMA) - the folks who bring you ProductCamp Portland – Pints with PDX Product Manager, and Pragmatic Marketing invite you to a February Learning and Networking Event featuring a special moderated panel focused on the challenges of product roadmapping.
Good Product Managers are the CEOs of their product. They have a Vision, and communicate it effectively, for how their product will grow, evolve, and successfully meet its key objectives. The product roadmap is one of the product manager's key instruments for laying out this vision in more concrete terms, but it's inherently full of challenges. This session will tap into panelists experience to uncover best practices for road mapping including critical factors for feature prioritization, political considerations, and how best to communicate them internally and externally.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from three top local product executives on this compelling and challenging area of product management.
###Panelists:
###**Bill Lynch - Co-Founder and Advisor, Jive Software**
Bill Lynch is a software entrepreneur and advisor. He is one of the co-founders of Jive Software, a company he started in 2001. Bill led product development efforts for 6 years and then transitioned to Product Management at Jive until his retirement from the company in 2013. Jive grew from two co-founders to a team of almost 700 globally and a successful IPO in December 2011. Today, Bill is an advisor to local startups, organizes networking events for area Product Managers, and serves as the Entrepreneur in Residence at the Portland Development Commission. Bill has a BS in computer science from the University of Iowa.
###**Andy Mallinger – Director of Product, Iovation**
After 5 years as a software developer Andy moved to the dark side (marketing) in order to get free lunches traveling with the sales team. Frequently jumping between product management and product marketing, Andy has been deep in new product research, product road-mapping and go to market planning and execution at Portland companies CenterSpan, Digimarc, RNA networks and Iovation. A lover of variety, technology focus includes SaaS fraud prevention, secure document issuance, mobile-connected content, memory virtualization, and peer to peer networks.

Welcome to the PADNUG Not-West meeting! We've had people clamoring for some content on the other side of the hills and there are now people who can help make that happen! This is an experiment, for sure, but one we hope can be a regular feature.
If you love C# and .NET, you may be surprised to see how many of the features you love also exist in Python (often first). Python is a wonderful language. It is a clean high-level language which values readability over many trade-offs. You can build web applications serving billions of monthly page views. You can build cross-platform GUI applications such as DropBox. You can access amazingly powerful database servers such as MongoDB and SQL Server. But did you know many of the things you absolutely love about C# also exist in Python? Lambda expressions - check. foreach loops - check. Rich class library - check. Iterators - check. And there is more. Come learn about all the things you love from C# and see how they are accomplished in Python.

A Spark Weekend is your opportunity to upgrade your life in a fun, friendly environment. No fluff and no hard sales; just great people and lots of time for action.
- <strong>Day 1</strong> is about learning. Our speakers share their favorite lifestyle change strategies, techniques, apps, and devices in 20 minute sessions.
- <strong>Day 2</strong> is about doing. Our team coaches you to implement what you learned the day before. You come back with your laptop and planner and directly work on your goals.
- <strong>Day 3</strong> is about winning. You get a token sum of cash back if you reach your goals; more if you put your own money on the line.
And in the spirit of open science we <a href="http://www.selfspark.com/science/data/">publish our results</a> in helping you change.
Remember, a Spark Weekend ticket makes a powerful gift for your friends, family, and colleagues! But not for people you don't like--don't give them any advantage in 2014.
As an added bonus, ~10% of every ticket sold goes to a community fund for those who cannot otherwise afford to attend.
Make your resolutions stick this year. Spark the New Year off right. |

Meet fellow practitioners, get a better understanding of what others do and how you can use that knowledge to make what you do even better.
Our lineup starts at 9am and ends at 6pm, with a one hour break for lunch. Come to one session, a few, or see them all! Your ticket price (only $15!) is good for the day, so you can come and go as you please.
Lineup:
-Crystal Rutland-CEO and Director of Research and Strategy at Empirical UX
-Corey Pressman-Owner and Chief Strategist at Exprima Media
-Josh Romberg-Photographer and Visual Designer
-Craig Peters-CEO, Awasu Design San Francisco
-Kate Ertmann-Owner and Animation Process Expert at Animation Dynamics
-Awaiting confirmation from 3 others. It's set to be an amazing day! |

The Global Game Jam (GGJ) is the world's largest game jam event. GGJ brings together thousands of game enthusiasts participating through many local jams around the world. GGJ is a project of the International Game Developers Association (IGDA).
We will begin on Friday evening at the Art Institute of Portland with a keynote, icebreakers, idea generating activities, and team selection (approx. 2 hours). After jammers are satisfied with their ideas and teams, they will work on their games until we approach our deadline on Sunday afternoon. They will begin to upload their "completed" games by the Global Game Jam deadline. Exact times will be available in our schedules during the jam. |
