create Calagator::Event 1250465677 Go Meetup: Brandon Philips of CoreOS on building etcd Roll back

description nil → Brandon Philips will talk about etcd, a highly-available key/value store, and how it was built with and can be used from Go. He'll cover the basics of running an etcd cluster and the underlying consensus algorithm called raft. He'll also get into a practical use case for service discovery and shared configuration and wrap with how you can use etcd from your Go programs using go-etcd. **About the Speaker** Brandon Philips is helping to build modern Linux server infrastructure at CoreOS. Because of this, he was recently disowned by one of his Linux kernel friends for being "one of those weirdos on the other side of the syscalls". **About the Meetup** Lytics is happy to host as well as provide pizza and beer! Other resources: * Mailing List: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/go-pdx * IRC Channel: #pdxgo on Freenode

create Calagator::Event 1250465673 FutureTalk with Sandi Metz Roll back

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.* *You can follow her on Twitter @sandimetz or at sandimetz.com* › FutureTalk is brought to you by New Relic in collaboration with [PIE](http://www.piepdx.com) and [TAO](http://www.techoregon.org)

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).

Also, feel free to bring code you'd like to show off or get input on from the rest of the group!

description Come join other Scala fans, whether you're a seasoned oldtimer or complete beginner. We'll have open discussions and a variety of presentations and examples. If you have topics you're interested in hearing more about or something you'd like to give a presentation on, please let us know! Also, feel free to bring code you'd like to show off or get input on from the rest of the group! As we've been doing for some months now, the first hour of tonight's meeting will be oriented towards people who are new to Scala. If you have questions you'd like to ask about general usage, specific libraries, or overall understanding of the ecosystem, we'll be here to help you find your way. For everyone else, we'll have plenty of extra time tonight for any other discussions and topics, so if you have something you'd like to talk about or code you'd like to show, come prepared! We'll have pizza here at 6, so come early if you're hungry. We look forward to see you all there! → Come join other Scala fans, whether you're a seasoned oldtimer or complete beginner.

The benefits of strategic data management for nonprofits is significant. Interest groups can use it to inform voting records of political candidates; community groups can use it to understand what areas need more access to recreational facilities, or a network of preschools can share their data to spot common behavior patterns. Every organization produces different kinds of data, but it's how the organization uses it to show its impact and inform critical decisions that makes the data valuable. Why you should attend: The NTEN Lab is an in-person, collaborative space for shared learning, and an opportunity to connect with your peers to explore different ways to identify and strategically use your organization’s data. You'll learn how to find the data you're already producing, how you can use the data to show your impact, and how to plan future decisions based on the data you have instead of the way you feel. In addition to breakfast and lunch, attendees will also receive a complimentary hard copy of our recently published e-book, Collected Voices: Data-Informed Nonprofits. Attendees will learn how to: 1) Create goals that can be measured and reported to your audience 2) Gather the data you need when you're short on time 3) Identify the best ways to collect, aggregate, analyze, and really use your data 4) Foster a culture of data-informed decision making across your team and in your organization Who should attend: This Lab is for nonprofit staff members that are interested in learning how to make data-informed decisions in their organization. It is a good fit for nonprofit decision makers across all departments, especially those who are in charge of preparing, or contributing to, their organization's strategic planning process, or annual plans.
