You already know about military dro nes operating overseas\, and perhaps you've even seen recreational drone s starring in youtube videos\, but as the FAA begins permitting commerci al use of unmanned aircraft in 2015\, you'll see drones replacing all so rts of roles that used to require a manned aircraft\, and taking on new roles made possible by their low cost\, versatility\, and safety. \;\ n \;\nChris Anderson will speak about the upcoming role of drones in agriculture\, a field Chris says "\;is a big data problem without th e big data."\; Chris will describe how farmers can will drones to cu rb plant disease\, conserve water\, and reduce pesticide and fertilizer use. He'll discuss the challenges ahead to integrate air vehicle systems with sensors\, specialized cameras\, and data processing.\n\nTags: galo is\, agriculture\, tech talk\, drones\n\nImported from: http://calagator .org/events/1250464875 URL:http://corp.galois.com/blog/2013/9/12/tech-talk-chris-anderson-on-usi ng-drones-in-agriculture.html SUMMARY:Galois Tech Talk: Chris Anderson on Using Drones in Agriculture LOCATION:Galois\, Inc: 421 SW 6th Ave. Suite 300\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140728T154706Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140804T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140804T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140728T154706Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140728T154706Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250466721 DESCRIPTION:This event is actually on the 4th of August!

Jenson\, MS\, mecha nical engineer\, CEO &\; Co-Founder\, HoneyComb Corporation \;\n&# 13\;\nAerial robotics and agriculture aren’t usually associated with one another\, at least not yet. However\, agriculture is projected to becom e the largest adopter of drone technology−surpassing all other use cases . To understand the transformation from military to the farm you need to understand the technology\, its disruptive nature\, and the intricacies of precision agriculture. In this talk Ryan Jenson will discuss drone-b ased applications\, why they’re a game changer\, and how drones will bec ome a ubiquitous tool on the farm and in everyday life. \;\n \;\n Ryan is CEO &\; co-founder of HoneyComb Corporation which specializes in the development and application of drone technology and data service s for precision agriculture. He has led HoneyComb to the forefront of t he emerging space and is widely considered to be an expert in the techno logy\, capabilities\, and its global impact on agriculture.

We form specialized teams to build software and open data stories for important themes in Oregon\, and work and iterate increment ally over months to create a product. \;\n \;\nThe “Buildathon” is the one day where we open up our project teams for guest contributors that want to be part of the magic and build something amazing\, but mig ht not have the time to participate in our months-long project season.&# 13\;\n \;\n## What’s the goal? \;\nThe Buildathon is a production sprint. We’ve laid the groundwork to do research\, visualizations\, and data storytelling quickly\, and we need your help to bring our projects to the next level. Be prepared to make friends and be an instant part of our Hack Oregon family! \;\n \;\n## How can I get involved? \;\nBy joining our sprint\, you’ll be placed with a team that needs extr a hands on deck in your particular skill set. We’re working toward a pu blic demo day in June\, where you can proudly present alongside your tea m. \;\n \;\n### Here are the two ways to join the event: \;\n1. We have open roles for experienced developers\, creatives\, and multime dia storytellers on each team. If you'd like to join one of the project teams for the day\, we'll need to match you with the team that needs yo ur skills most and give you an onboarding package. \;\n**[Fill out t his inquiry form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1TRuG_28QcFlWBcO3LX5gJ p9SyqTRidTijjaBCb-Mpd4/viewform) along with your eventbrite RSVP\, and w e will be in touch with you shortly!** \;\n2. If you are a new to cod ing or want to contribute in a non-tech way\, we have a highly appreciat ed team working on research\, fact-checking\, and user testing. \;\n **No inquiry form required\, just go ahead and RSVP for "\;Research Team"\;. ** \;\nWe can't wait to meet you! \;\n \;\n### P erks \;\n* Team T Shirt \;\n* All Day Food \;\n* Profound Glory \;\n \;\n## Project Teasers \;\n \;\n### Food Insecurity: “ Oregon Hunger Equation” \;\nWhy does Oregon consistently have one of the highest reported rates of food insecurity in the country? We’re ana lyzing links between regional cost of living\, benefit programs\, and lo cal school districts to solve for systemic causes of hunger at home. \;\n \;\n### Campaign Finance: “Behind the Curtain” \;\nHack Orego n has the only machine readable database for local campaign finance in t he country. We’re adding in new meta-data and working on fascinating hi gh level view of influence and money in Oregon’s election cycles. \;\ n \;\n### Urban Development: “Plot PDX” \;\nData can tell us a lot about our neighborhoods. We’re building maps that take a non-typical a pproach to hard truths about urban growth\, concentration of wealth\, an d the digital divide. \;\n \;\n### Agriculture: “Crop Compass”  3\;\nIn the Pacific Northwest\, we live in one of the most rich biospher es in the world\, with global demand for Oregon grown products. We have the ability to produce a wide range of food in Oregon\, but we’re far fr om self-sustaining. How do our economic and environmental factors work t ogether to shape our food system? \;\n \;\n### Education: " \;Programming for Progress"\; \;\nAcross Oregon\, some schools ar e lucky enough to have free or low cost summer school programming and/or afterschool programming. How much of a difference can that programming make for early literacy\, attendance\, and future academic success of s tudents? What does could this say about Oregon’s statewide performance\ , and especially those districts facing higher poverty? \;\n \;\n# # [Eventbrite RSVP Here!](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hack-oregon-sprin g-buildathon-tickets-25360055609)\n\nTags: data\, science\, campaign\, f inance\, agriculture\, education\, urban\, development\, project\n\nImpo rted from: http://calagator.org/events/1250470251 URL:http://springbuildathon.eventbrite.com SUMMARY:Hack Oregon Spring Buildathon LOCATION:Revolution Hall: 1300 Southeast Stark Street\, Portland OR 97214 United States SEQUENCE:3 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20161001T035540Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20161005T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20161005T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20161001T035540Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20161001T035540Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250470899 DESCRIPTION:The Portland Ag Tech Panel brings together founders\, investo rs\, educators\, and government officials who are building the future of Agriculture Technology.
