By combining these iconic events\, the Rose F estival is creating a single\, dynamic parade experience that honors tra dition while embracing creativity\, community\, and innovation. \;\n& #13\;\nTo preserve the distinct character of each parade\, the event wil l unfold in two phases. The Grand Floral portion will step off at 6:30 p m\, featuring floral floats\, marching bands\, equestrian units\, and co mmunity groups in daylight. Later in the evening\, as darkness falls\, t he Starlight portion will step off at 8:30 pm\, showcasing illuminated f loats\, lighting effects\, and nighttime spectacle. The two portions wil l run sequentially allowing each to shine in its own way. \;\n \;\ nThis format allows for richer storytelling\, broader representation\, a nd an enhanced experience for both participants and spectators\, while a lso enabling the Rose Festival to focus resources more intentionally—str engthening production quality\, improving operational efficiency\, and e nsuring the long-term sustainability of one of Portland’s most cherished civic celebrations. \;\n \;\nWe look forward to welcoming the com munity to this bold new chapter of the Rose Festival. \;\n \;\nWay s To Watch \;\n \;\nFrom The Street \;\nGet in on the action fo r free with a city street spot!

You know AI can write code. You've used Copilot\, C laude\, or ChatGPT to ship faster\, debug\, or figure out what a library is doing. That part is well-trodden ground. \;\n \;\nThis talk ex plores something different: using agentic AI as a general-purpose proble m-solving tool. Yes\, the tool is called Claude Code. But what I want to show is what happens when you stop thinking of it as "\;the thing t hat writes my code"\; and start thinking of it as "\;the thing t hat can build me something useful in 20 minutes."\; \;\n \;\nT hat's the idea behind disposable software: small\, single-purpose tools you spin up to solve one specific problem\, use as long as you need\, an d then move on. There's a whole class of problems sitting on your plate right now that don't warrant a project plan\, a sprint\, or a code revie w. They need someone to build the thing and move on. \;\n \;\nIn t his session\, we'll go over how to set up an agentic environment\, dive into a real-world problem\, and then spend a good amount of time on Q&am p\;A and diving into real solutions that people are solving today with a gentic AI. \;\n \;\nSpeaker \;\nLucas Bennington is the founder of Codi Tech\, an AI-native software development agency. Over the past three years\, he's built a practice around helping teams turn ideas into working products using AI and modern development tools. His team uses A I across every part of how they operate\, from project intake and scopin g to building internal tools and delivering client work. Lucas brings a practitioner's perspective: he's not talking about AI in the abstract\, he's building with it every day. \;\n\n\nTags: portland\, AI\, pdx\, pjug\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482600 URL:https://www.meetup.com/pdxjug/events/314445624/ SUMMARY:Agentic AI - Portland Java User Group LOCATION:ProFocus: 10200 Southwest Eastridge Street\, Portland OR 97225 U S SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260502T160753Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260527T193000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260527T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260502T160753Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260502T160753Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250482556 DESCRIPTION:#### Topic \;\n \;\nWriting proper alt text is hard.

Alt text is also a whole lot more than the `alt` attribute. That's just one of the many ways to make content accessible. In fact\, there are a number of considerations for writing great alt tex t. \;\n \;\nIn this presentation\, Mark Wyner will help you unders tand the spectrum of options so you can take good care of your audience.

Enter MicroShift\, a small-footprint Kubernetes distr ibution\, paired with Fedora Bootc\, an image-based\, immutable operatin g system built for consistency and resilience. \;\n \;\nIn this se ssion\, we’ll demonstrate how running MicroShift on Fedora Bootc creates a powerful foundation for edge workloads\, combining the familiarity of Kubernetes with the reliability of image-based OS updates and atomic ro llbacks. Learn how this approach reduces operational complexity\, improv es boot-time performance\, and enhances system integrity—especially for unattended or resource-constrained edge environments. \;\n \;\nMin d the Gap: Tracking AWS Infrastructure Drift Over Time - Christopher Buc kley\, Buckshot Technologies \;\n \;\nModern DevOps pipelines focu s heavily on deploying infrastructure-as-code\, but what happens after t he deploy? In many organizations\, the infrastructure evolves outside of Git — through the console\, ad hoc scripts\, or third-party tools — lea ving behind blind spots and compliance risk. \;\n \;\nIn this talk \, we’ll explore practical ways to track infrastructure drift and deltas across AWS environments. You’ll learn how to snapshot configurations\, compare changes between points in time\, and surface deltas across accou nts in a format that’s accessible to engineers\, auditors\, and security teams alike. \;\n \;\nWe'll demo an open-source tool built to sho w Git-style diffs for AWS infrastructure — not as a pitch\, but as a cas e study in how visibility empowers better decisions\, faster troubleshoo ting\, and cleaner audit trails. Whether you're running one VPC or a hun dred\, knowing what changed is the first step to staying in control.\n\n Tags: kubernetes\, containers\, cloud\, intrastructure\, aws\, devops\n\ nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482477 URL:https://www.meetup.com/cloud-native-pdx/events/313348836 SUMMARY:Cloud Native March Meetup: Microshift\, Bootc\, and AWS Infrastru cture LOCATION:Reperio Health: 4784 SE 17th Ave Suite 120\, Portland OR 97202 U SA SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260312T235916Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260317T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260317T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260312T235916Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260312T235916Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250482506 DESCRIPTION:​Better Futures Club is a weekly event (alternating Tuesdays and Thursdays) focused on imagining and making better futures. \;\n&# 13\;\nImagine an artist community\, a think tank\, and a research center in the same building.
