So you have a new Workflow in your application. Let's say that it has 20 steps in the workflow

What happens if the instance handling the workflow goes down What happens if a remote service that is invoked in one of the Workflow steps is down This is where a durable workflow comes in. DBOS is a durable Workflow engine that provides this capability along with many other features.

Come learn about the durable workflow space and how you can add such a capability to your Java application

Happy New Year geo-nerds!

PDXOSGeo connects again this week, Wednesday Jan 28, 6:30p Hot Lips Pizza @ the Natural Capital Center 721 NW 9th Ave, Portland OR. Join us for some show and tell and good open geo discussion!

Topic for January: David Percy “Percy” has been doing research on applying Reconstructability Analysis (RA) to categorical raster datasets since 2012, and is preparing to defend his dissertation on Spatial Reconstructability Analysis soon. RA is a form of machine learning that works exclusively with discrete data, so categorical data such as the National Land Cover Database is a perfect source of data for it. These NLCD data have been analyzed in attempts to predict forest dynamics (clearcuts), and wildfire size, specifically looking at how historical vegetation affects these outcomes. Results will be presented that show how these data are useful in modeling future events. All of the extraction for analysis was done in Python using open source GIS libraries Shapely and Rasterio. Code will be shared and discussed.

Join Assessed Intelligence for an end-of-January AI networking happy hour bringing together professionals working in artificial intelligence, data, and intelligent systems. This relaxed, after-hours gathering is designed for thoughtful conversation, new connections, and idea sharing in an informal setting. Whether you’re building, deploying, or guiding AI initiatives, we’d love to have you join us.

Portland Design Thinkers are excited to welcome Leksi Kostur, Ephemeral by Design.

This talk explores the role of biodegradable materials in the future of design. Drawing from work in festivals, weddings, and funerary contexts, Leksi examines design situations where short-lived and single-use objects are not failures, but appropriate and even advantageous choices. Rather than positioning biodegradability as a universal solution, she focuses on material logic and circular design practices, aligning purpose with lifespan. She also looks at whimsy, imagination, and references to nature as intentional design choices, framing optimism as a designer’s responsibility at a time when environmental fatigue and resignation are widespread. Designing with nature becomes a way to counter eco-nihilism and imagine more regenerative futures

​Better Futures Club is a weekly event (alternating Tuesdays and Thursdays) focused on imagining and making better futures.

Join the Computer-Human Interaction Forum of Oregon for a Talk on Digital Futures by author, activist, and professor Alexander Reid Ross

“Imagine All the People”: Socio-Ecological-Technical Imaginaries and Utopian MovementsJohn Lennon’s famous directive to “imagine all the people” is virtually impossible for social movements that require enemies and scapegoats to foster egalitarian visions of the future. Building on research into the far right, this talk describes the emergence of powerful socio-ecological-technical imaginaries in the 21st Century and their relation to social movements and community organization. Discussing the rising movement against data centers and right-wing social media, it locates imaginaries in the complex, mimetic struggles for freedom in which technology seems to threaten as much as it promises. In the contexts of theories like “abundance,” accelerationism, and eco-modernism, it possible today, as utopianism and pessimism surge, for “all the people” to fit into our imagined past, present, and future? 

Alexander Reid Ross is an award-winning geographer working at the intersection of human-natural systems, focusing on climate, water, and the political far right. He holds a doctorate from Portland State’s Earth, Environment, Society program, and his work has appeared in the Oregon Historical Quarterly, the Hydrological Sciences Journal, The Public Historian, and the Annals of the American Association of Geographers Review of Books. He has produced three books, with a forthcoming work on Shakespeare and the concept of the sublime due out later this year.

Topic

Often relegated to episodic efforts such as late-stage audits and ad hoc projects, digital accessibility is most effective and efficient when it is the organization’s default mode of operation. Making the shift to continuous accessibility leads to better outcomes across the board, including improving the experience of disabled users, mitigating the risk of accessibility-related lawsuits, improving brand reputation, and even creating a positive return on investment (ROI).

In this talk we provide practical strategies for embedding accessibility into daily routines and technical systems, demonstrating how to start small and scale over time. Key topics include:

• Establishing a repeatable accessibility routine and improving it over time.
• The importance of data and metrics, such as bug counts and time-to-resolution (TTR), to establish a baseline and measure progress.
• Rallying cross-functional allies to drive change (yes, even without C-suite mandates).
• Creating a unified system where human workflows and technical tools work in concert.

A real world case study illustrates how the strategic application of automated regression testing and clear bug prioritization led to a profound cultural shift where accessibility is treated like any other product quality concern. Attendees will leave with actionable ideas for initiating and sustaining cultural change, making the case for accessibility as a core business principle.

Agenda

The event begins at 6 pm; join early, starting at 5:45 pm for networking.

• 5:45–6:00pm Networking
• 6:00–6:15pm Introductions and announcements
• 6:15–6:45pm Presentation
• 6:45–7:15pm Q&A and discussion

About the presenters

Devon Persing is your neighbor to the north in Seattle, WA. Before joining "big" tech as an accessibility professional around 2012, she worked in "small" tech as a UI designer, front-end web developer, and usability advocate in libraries, higher education, and local government. She has an MS in Information and is disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent, and as a result her approach to digital accessibility centers information literacy, organization dynamics, and disability justice. Her current focus as a solo consultant is on helping people do accessibility work that is more holistic, inclusive, cooperative, and sustainable. She wrote a book called The Accessibility Operations Guidebook with that goal in mind.

Portlander by birth and by choice, Andrew Hedges is COO for Assistiv Labs, an accessibility tooling company based in the PNW. His 28-year career as a web developer and engineering leader has taken him to companies from Apple to Zapier. As a longtime advocate for improving the usability of websites for people with disabilities, Andrew would love nothing more than for accessibility to become the default so we can finally realize the original promise of the web to democratize access to information for everyone.
