I n the startup world\, the word permeates job interviews\, board room mee tings\, and conversations around the water cooler. But what does culture actually mean when applied to tech companies of all sizes? \;\n \ ;\nTo answer this question\, eBay is launching it’s monthly Tech Tuesday series with a panel-based conversation about culture. We’ve gathered ne w voices in thought leadership to bring fresh ideas to this topic\, whil e considering and respecting what we’ve learned from the past. \;\n&# 13\;\nPanelists include: \;\n \;\nLindsay Wolff Longsdon \, Co-Fou nder/Advisor\, Culture Lab @WolffLogsdon \;\nBruce Yarnall\, Director of Mobile QA\, eBay Marketplaces \;\nDonald Truxillo\, Ph.D.\, Profe ssor\, Industrial/Organizational Psychology \;\n \;\nModerator: Sa ra Morrow\, Talent Partner at eBay Marketplaces @PDXsaram \;\n \;\ nWe purposely expanded the typical HR heavy culture panel to a manager o f technical teams\, a startup founder\, and a professor who researches b oth methods employers use to hire workers and perceptions of potential e mployees during recruitment and hiring. \;\n \;\nThese panelists w ill help us illuminate how culture is applied throughout the whole proce ss of engaging an employee: from attraction to a company\, hiring\, inte grating\, ongoing development\, to promotions or exits. The end result? Some common understandings of what culture means\, as well as\, how we c an navigate the nuances as employers and/or employees. \;\n \;\nRS VP through Meetup to attend “The Evolution of Culture in Portland Tech.” We look forward to seeing you! \;\n \;\nhttp://www.meetup.com/eBa y-Tech-Tuesdays/events/219520529/\n\nTags: ebay\, eBay Tech Tuesdays\, c ulture\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250467572 URL:http://www.meetup.com/eBay-Tech-Tuesdays/events/219520529/ SUMMARY:eBay Tech Tuesday: The Evolution of Culture in Portland Tech LOCATION:eBay Community Lounge: 1400 SW 5th Avenue\, 3rd Floor\, Portland OR 97201 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150213T182102Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150224T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150224T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150213T182102Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150213T182102Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250467840 DESCRIPTION:For the February edition of eBay Tech Tuesdays we'll be bring ing in some of the fine folks over at Marmoset\, a boutique music agency here in Portland\, to talk music and technology. \;\n \;\nRyan W ines\, Managing Partner and CEO\; Shane Geiger\, Digital Team Lead\; and Ryan Rebo\, Developer\, will be talking about their website and app\, s haring their thoughts on how technology has changed their business so fa r\, what they're seeing currently\, what they foresee coming down the ro ad\, and what unknowns have them scratching their heads. \;\n \;\n Marmoset also has a super secret band coming in from out of state to pla y. So secret we're not even allowed to know who they are... But this is what we've been told: \;\n \;\n• Instrumental electronic pop that borrows from the playbook of Justice and Daft Punk\, at least in terms o f mystique \;\n \;\n• One could say that they sound like an ’80s s ynth-rock band\, but it goes deeper than that. They have a fanatic follo wing from the people who have listened and seen them live. The way they present themselves is a sincere approach to combine art and music. \; \n \;\nAnd we've been guaranteed they're rad. \;\n \;\nRSVP no w to attend\, then check out Marmoset to learn more about who they are a nd what they do. \;\n \;\nWeb: https://www.marmosetmusic.com \; \nTwitter: https://twitter.com/marmosetmusic \;\nVimeo: https://vimeo .com/marmosetmusic \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\n\n\nT ags: ebay\, eBay Tech Tuesdays\, music\, music industry\n\nImported from : http://calagator.org/events/1250467840 URL:http://www.meetup.com/eBay-Tech-Tuesdays/events/220193759/ SUMMARY:eBay Tech Tuesday: The Impact of Technology on the Music Industry LOCATION:eBay Community Lounge: 1400 SW 5th Avenue\, 3rd Floor\, Portland OR 97201 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150309T211910Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150331T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150331T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150309T211910Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150309T211910Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250468030 DESCRIPTION:If you build it\, they will come. \;\n \;\nMaybe. \; \n \;\nHow many times have you seen a product or app and thought to y ourself\, “Who would ever use that\,” or dealt with the frustration of t rying to operate something that feels like you need a degree in rocket s cience to figure out. \;\n \;\nOr maybe you don’t interact with th e product much\, but the noise it emits\, or vibrations its function cau ses\, drives you batty. \;\n \;\nNow\, imagine that your company d esigned that product\, built that website\, deployed that app… and count less users are muttering your name under their breath. Hundreds and thou sands of hours and dollars have been wasted and you have to go back to t he drawing board. \;\n \;\nDid you do the research to ensure your product or technology would appeal to human wants\, needs and desires? F actoring in the human element seems like common sense\, but that piece o f the equation is often left out. \;\n \;\nIf you’re involved in b uilding a product or developing a technology that is or will be used by humans\, you’ll want to join us for the March 31st Tech Tuesday. We’ll h ave Marcelino Alvarez\, CEO of Uncorked Studios\, a local product design agency doing awesome things\, talking with us about the importance of i ncorporating human factors and intuitive use into the design of products and digital environments. \;\n \;\nWe’ll also have Renny Gleeson\ , Global Director\, Interactive Strategy\, and Oonie Chase\, Director of Experience Design\, from Wieden+Kennedy talking about brand building an d failing harder at the intersection of strategy and human-centered desi gn. \;\n \;\nThe evening's discussions should provide some inter esting and engaging conversation.

But they did! \;\n \;\nThe Living Computer Museum\, l ocated in Seattle\, Washington\, is dedicated to preserving\, maintainin g\, and displaying working examples of the computers that have led us to the information technology we enjoy today. (You can even interact with the computers there!) \;\n \;\nThe collection was assembled by Mi crosoft cofounder Paul G. Allen as a way to preserve the history that pu t him and Bill Gates on the path to founding the company\, and presents the milestones in the evolution of computers and how people use them. 3\;\n \;\nFor our April Meetup\, Bob Barnett from the Living Computer Museum will be joining us to talk about the museum\, computers\, and ho w we got to where we are today. We first met Bob when he came to eBay Po rtland to talk to our team\, and we thought what he shared was so intere sting we wanted to bring him back for all of you. (Also\, he made us la ugh\, and we like people who make us laugh.) \;\n \;\nHere's a sho rt bio Bob put together at our request: \;\n \;\n"\;After spen ding 4 years in the Air Force\, Bob was accepted into the Computer Scien ce program at Hughes Aircraft in El Segundo\, California.

So\, when you’re fighting the battle every d ay to make things work\, yet only hearing about Company A getting yet an other round of capital\, or Business Z being acquired\, it’s easy to fee l like you’re a failure. \;\n \;\nBut your success doesn't have to look like everyone else's. Which is good\, since it probably won’t. And honestly\, sometimes failure isn't so bad. \;\n \;\nThis month’s Tech Tuesday is about the difficulties faced in building\, launching\, a nd keeping a startup afloat. We’ve put together a panel of local entrep reneurs who will be sharing their stories\, talking about the struggles they’ve faced as founders\, and discussing what they’ve learned so far.& #13\;\n \;\nWe’ll also have an Advisor to numerous startups sharing h is perspective\, insights\, and tips. \;\n \;\n \;\nPanelists:& #13\;\n \;\n• Kevin Dewhitt\, Founder\, PDO Technologies\, Inc \;\ n \;\n• Josh Carter\, CEO/Co-Founder\, Plunk \;\n \;\n• Paul Wa gner\, CEO/Co-Founder\, CloudEngage \;\n \;\n• Paige Hendrix\, Fou nder\, ClientJoy \;\n \;\n• Dylan Boyd\, Advisor \;\n \;\n&# 13\;\nModerator: \;\n \;\n• Sara Morrow\, Talent Partner\, eBay Ma rketplaces \;\n \;\n \;\nThe combined backgrounds\, experience\ , and personalities of our panelists should provide for a fun\, interest ing\, and educational evening.
