There will be plenty of time for Q&\;A\, so come armed with your questions and be ready to participate in a lively discussion about valui ng early stage companies. \;\n \;\n \;\n$30 for OEN Members\; $ 70 for non-members. \;\n \;\n \;\nSpeaker: Naomi Derner \;\n \;\nNaomi Derner\, CFA is the founder and managing director of Derne r Valuation Consulting\, where she values securities and intangible asse ts for companies at all stages of development\, from startups to large p ublic companies.

Successful ideas will connect Portland citizens to their public schools\, and/or engage them i n the five ways schools have said would be most useful - a coat\, a can\ , a book\, an hour\, or a grand. The hack day will conclude with five-mi nute demos of each team's projects. \;\n \;\n \;\nBACKGROUND 3\;\nOn June 2nd\, in collaboration with the Mayor’s Office and GOOD Mag azine\, we’re holding a Hack Day to explore how technology can be used t o connect Portland’s public schools with neighborhoods and business. \;\nThis project emerged from a GOOD Ideas for Cities event that took pl ace earlier this year. You can see the presentation on GOOD's site. \ ;\nhttp://www.good.is/post/supporting-neighborhood-schools-a-good-idea-f or-portland/ \;\n \;\n \;\nTHE PROBLEM \;\n85% of people in central Portland have no children of school age. This means that the maj ority has no natural connection with the school system. We want to make it easier for that 85% to support Portland’s public schools. \;\n \;\nOur research with schools and supporting organizations showed that a few simple things – books\, food\, clothing and people's time – could m ake a big difference to students. We also learnt that there are many org anizations in Portland that are set up to support schools in these ways. We want to build a tool that makes it easy to find these organizations\ , and to give resources to them. \;\n \;\n \;\nHACK DAY RESOURC ES \;\nTo help us solve this\, we’ll have representatives from Portla nd’s public schools and from some of the main organizations who are alre ady supporting these schools. The Software Association of Oregon\, which has built CitySync will be joining us as well. \;\nDesigners and our partners will be available on the day for further conversations about p romotion of the tools that we create. \;\nWe are also connecting with the Personal Democracy Forum taking place in NYC the following week\, a nd hope to feed the best ideas into that event. \;\n \;\nExtra inf o: nick.barham@wk.com\n\nTags: education\, public schools\, citysync\, p lancast:plan=bnfu\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/12504623 82 URL:http://hackforportlandschools.com/ SUMMARY:Hack for Portland's Schools LOCATION:PIE: Portland Incubator Experiment : 1227 NW Davis Street\, Port land OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:3 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121025T191620Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121030T190000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121030T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121025T191620Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121025T192150Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250463031 DESCRIPTION:“By simplifying income tax laws for people to have more equal lives\, everyone will be more comfortable\, able to live more humanly.” \;\n \;\nOur weekly Tuesday civics meetings are a structured Q&am p\;A\, hosted at Collective Agency\, open to the public to ask questions and share-and-learn perspectives about this membership organization and about tax in Oregon overall\, and the real effects of the real numbers on people’s lives. \;\n \;\nMany people don’t understand anything about tax in society\, including myself four months ago before I started learning.

Specifically\, poor implementati on of these products is the leading cause of failure of acceptance of EH Rs in these offices. Implementation of EHRs in the small physician offic e remains poorly documented and this contributes to this failure rate. T o address this need\, OEMR (The OpenEMR Non-Profit) developed an interns hip experience with the Department of Medical Informatics and Clinical E pidemiology at Oregon Health and Science University to develop a road ma p for converting a small physician's office that is still using paper re cords to OpenEMR\, an open source electronic health record\, while using open source tools to implement and document the transformation. Documen tation was made public on the OEMR wiki (at http://www.oemr.org/wiki/Goi ng_From_Paper_to_Electronic) as a template for future implementations. T his presentation is an overview of the documentation completed for the w iki. There are many paths to implementation\, but the destination is mea ningful use of the OpenEMR system. \;\n \;\nSpecial Thanks: PLUG r egular Keith Lofstrom was instrumental to the success of this project\, not to mention Dr. Sam Bowen\, MD in North Carolina and PLUG speaker Ton y McCormick. \;\n \;\nDiane Petersen is an emerging clinical infor maticist\, drawing from her formal education in clinical informatics and her extensive experience as a clinical pharmacist in a variety of setti ngs.

They help control pests and are vital pol linators and seed-dispersers for countless plants. Yet these wonderfully diverse and beneficial creatures are among the least studied and most m isunderstood of animals. Cris Hein\, PhD\, is a biologist with Bat Conse rvation International and has been studying bat behavior and ecology for 14 years.

Janice will guide us through the stats on technical women in various national and local tech companies and then take a dive into anec dotes that help to illustrate some of the reasons why women leave techno logy at twice the rate of men. \;\n \;\n*Janice Levenhagen is the Executive Director of ChickTech.

However\, recent for-profit corporate interest in Free S oftware development has led to a renewed preference toward non-copyleft licensing by for-profit entities. Meanwhile\, many for-profit entities t hat do use copyleft for their own software now do so in a manner that mo st copyleft aficionados find\, at best\, distasteful and at worst\, abus ive. \;\n \;\nA long-standing truce exists in our community betwee n fans of non-copyleft licensing and copyleft. No one in the copyleft co mmunities disputes that non-copylefted Free Software is an important par t of our community. However\, copyleft faces new challenges that make pa st debates about the appropriateness of copyleft seem quite minor by com parison. \;\n \;\nThis talk will discuss all aspects of the compli cated situation facing copyleft\, including younger developers apparent preference for non-copyleft licensing (as expressed\, in part\, [in the "\;post-open source"\; debates](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pos t_Open_Source))\, the widespread and common failures for companies to co mply with GPL's relatively easy requirements\, and how licensing choices are today\, unlike in the past\, rarely in the hands of individual deve lopers\, but instead their corporate employers. \;\n \;\n \;\nB radley M. Kuhn is the President and Distinguished Technologist at Softwa re Freedom Conservancy (sfconservancy.org) and on the Board of Directors of the Free Software Foundation (FSF). Kuhn began his work in the softw are freedom movement as a volunteer in 1992\, when he became an early ad opter of the GNU/Linux operating system\, and began contributing to vari ous FLOSS projects. He worked during the 1990s as a system administrator and software developer for various companies\, and taught AP Computer S cience at Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati. Kuhn's non-profit care er began in 2000\, when he was hired by the FSF. As FSF's Executive Dire ctor from 2001–2005\, Kuhn led FSF's GPL enforcement\, launched its Asso ciate Member program\, and invented the Affero GPL. From 2005-2010\, Kuh n worked as the Policy Analyst and Technology Director of the Software F reedom Law Center. Kuhn was the primary volunteer for Conservancy from 2 006–2010\, and has been a full-time staffer since early 2011. Kuhn holds a summa cum laude B.S. in Computer Science from Loyola University in Ma ryland\, and an M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Cincinna ti. Kuhn's Master's thesis discussed methods for dynamic interoperabilit y of FLOSS programming languages. Kuhn received the O'Reilly Open Source Award in 2012\, in recognition for his lifelong policy work on copyleft licensing. \;\n \;\nMany will head to the Lucky Lab at 1945 NW Qu imby St. after the meeting. \;\n \;\nRideshares Available \;\n& #13\;\nPLUG is open to everyone and does not tolerate abusive behavior o n its mailing lists or at its meetings.\n\nTags: beer\, linux\, networki ng\, plug\, education\, unix\, bsd\, devops\, open source\, software fre edom\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250467782 URL:http://pdxlinux.org SUMMARY:Portland Linux/Unix Group: The Future of Copyleft LOCATION:PSU Maseeh Engineering Building: 1930 SW 4th Avenue\, Portland O R 97201 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150217T182748Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150317T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150317T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150217T182748Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150217T182748Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250467904 DESCRIPTION:The March Advanced Topics will be an informal meeting at: \;\n \;\nLucky Labrador Brew Pub \;\n915 SE Hawthorne Boulevard 3\;\n \;\nEnjoy!\n\nTags: beer\, linux\, networking\, plug\, educatio n\, unix\, bsd\, devops\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/12 50467904 URL:http://pdxlinux.org SUMMARY:Portland Linux/Unix Group Advanced Topics LOCATION:Free Geek: 1731 SE 10th Avenue\, Portland OR 97214 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150311T222252Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150318T173000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150318T153000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150311T222252Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150311T222252Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250468047 DESCRIPTION:Successfully learning from our experiences (both good and bad ) is tricky businesses.

The two technologies are in fact becoming inextricable now that computer s control virtually every electrical system from the distribution grids on up\, and computers themselves are completely dependent on electricity to operate. Both technologies have undergone countless innovations yet still operate largely on their original basic principles. While high in capacity\, fast and affordable\, the modern hardware block storage devic e or “hard disk” operates on the same principles as the original 1956 IB M 350 disk storage unit and most solid-state alternatives emulate hard d isks. Beginning with the Berkeley Fast File System\, the BSD family of o perating systems has played a key role in the evolution of general purpo se block storage and continues this innovation with technologies like vi rtual block storage devices\, GEOM\, UFS2\, ZFS\, GELI\, HAST\, GEOM Jou rnaling\, FUSE\, tmpfs and the NAND Flash framework. This paper will sur vey the available block device options in the FreeBSD operating system a nd explore their practical uses in modern storage architectures. \;\n \;\nFreeBSD is unique in that it provides the reference platform for the Unix File System and is now a tier one Zettabyte File System or ZFS platform. The 10.0 release of FreeBSD is particularly unique in that it includes in-kernel iSCSI network block device sharing\, the NAND Flash framework\, a FUSE implementation and the bhyve hypervisor which can lev erage and help test most FreeBSD storage technologies. The FreeBSD ports collection also includes support for guest file systems such as ext2 an d NTFS\, which provide new opportunities to "\;round trip"\; vir tual and physical machines using bhyve and tools such as the iBFT iSCSI boot framework. \;\n \;\nFinally\, while an unprecedented block st orage toolkit can enable extensive experimentation\, there are pragmatic issues surrounding production storage architectures. This paper will to uch on real world block storage solutions built with FreeBSD and its der ivatives. These derivatives include the FreeNAS storage appliance\, whic h provides networked block and file storage to a myriad of Unix and non- Unix clients. Pragmatic issues surrounding verifiable data integrity inc lude: understanding and embracing ZFS behavior and limits\, observing di sk and partition health in addition to data integrity\, understanding th e implications of file naming\, maintaining backups and restoring desire d data in a timely manner. \;\n \;\nMany will head to the Lucky L ab at 1945 NW Quimby St. after the meeting. \;\n \;\nRideshares Av ailable \;\n \;\nPLUG Page with information about all PLUG events: http://pdxlinux.org/ \;\nFollow PLUG on Twitter: http://twitter.com/ pdxlinux \;\n \;\nPLUG is open to everyone and does not tolerate a busive behavior on its mailing lists or at its meetings.\n\nTags: beer\, linux\, networking\, plug\, education\, unix\, bsd\, devops\, open sour ce\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250467959 URL:http://pdxlinux.org SUMMARY:Portland Linux/Unix Group: Block Storage Device Life Cycles LOCATION:PSU Maseeh Engineering Building: 1930 SW 4th Avenue\, Portland O R 97201 US SEQUENCE:3 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150505T014756Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150512T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150512T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150505T014756Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150505T014756Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250468382 DESCRIPTION:Whether you're a teacher\, software developer\, or sales sold ier ignorance about privacy and security just won't fly anymore.

Why do I need a sales pipeline? How do I use my sales pipeline? \;\n \;\nOne of the things I hate abo ut some of the workshops or seminars I have attended over the years is t hat I walk out with great intentions to use everything I learned but the n I do not implement the thing or things I had learned. Why? My theory i s that while in the workshops I just sat and listened\, take notes and p articipate but I did not ‘leave’ with something that fit me. Once I got home I had to make the program work for me and personalize it for me. 3\;\n \;\nWith this in mind I have designed my workshops to be hands- on\, small and intimate. We work together as a team to design what you n eed not what the masses need. So my challenge to you is to walk out of m y workshop with the framework for your ready-to-use personal sales pipel ine. \;\n \;\nSales pipelines are not just a visual representatio n of your sales prospects…it is the bible of your business. Your pipelin e should be personal and represent you and your business. At any time\, you should be able to it pull up your pipeline and speak clearly and int elligently to where you are at in your business. \;\n \;\nMy one-h our brown bag lunch workshop is designed to help you understand the impo rtance to having a pipeline\, how to manage your pipeline and design a q uickie pipeline that is fits your personality and your personal needs.&# 13\;\n \;\nPlease remember to bring your laptop and a lunch! \;\n& #13\;\nCost: FREE \;\n \;\nPlease sign up at Eventbrite website se ating is very limited...for more info on me visit\, annieweller.com\n\nT ags: sales\, pipeline\, Grow\, tech\, business\, entrepreneur\, money\, small business\, workshop\, education\n\nImported from: http://calagator .org/events/1250472104 URL:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/build-a-bad-ass-pipeline-workshop-ticket s-35465141192 SUMMARY:Build a Bad-Ass Pipeline!

Systems that can aid local populations in their underst anding of environmental and climate changes and help them deal with thos e changes. Our systems are aimed at the area that is the difference betw een today's weather and long-term climate changes ahead. These systems a re designed to be the “last mile” of climate change monitoring\, allowin g local communities around the world to monitor their climate and take s teps to mitigate changes. The systems will be owned and run by these com munities with limited outside technical support\, and can either stand a lone or be tied together into an ad-hoc network similar to a small netwo rk of cellphone towers. Using our system to ask three questions: What is happening to our climate and environment? What does it mean? And what c an we do about it? The hard data collected from the system\, leaders in communities can begin planning how they will adapt and stay in place in their decision-making process. The GMIBS-Project will design\, develop\, and produce low-cost systems to aid local groups efforts to monitor and mitigate climate change.

They will present their talk\, Machine Learning to Find Life on Mars and Beyond. \;\n \;\nIn 2021 the European ExoMars rover w ill land on Mars with the Mars Organic Molecular Analyzer (MOMA) laborat ory to analyze soil samples searching for past or present life. NASA is developing machine learning algorithms to help the scientists more quick ly analyze the data when it arrives from Mars. In this talk\, we will pr esent the current work using MOMA mass spectrometer data acquired during ground testing. Using this data we are aiding the scientists by matchin g new spectra with the most similar spectra from past experiments. We wi ll present the nuances of mass spectra\, our limitations with respect to data\, and our approach to the problem. We hope to elicit feedback from the attendees. \;\n \;\nMore details at https://phys.org/news/202 0-06-nasa-life-mars.html. \;\n \;\n30 minute Break \;\n \;\n Lunch Session: 12:00 – 1:00 PM: Snowflake Presentation\, Drew Swanson an d Brian Whittington \;\n \;\n30 minute Break \;\n \;\nAftern oon Session: 1:30 PM – 3:30PM: Details soon! \;\n \;\n15 minute Br eak \;\n \;\nClosing Remarks and Next Steps: 3:45 – 4:00 PM: DAMA PDX Board \;\n \;\nTimes above may be revised in the days before o ur event. \;\n \;\nEvent will be presented via a Zoom bridge.

Details that must be addresse d include: What data is being used to train the language models? Who own s the source data and the outputs that are generated? How accurate are t he models? How much human oversight of the model-building process is the re? And what are the potential harms when things go wrong? \;\n \; \nThese algorithms are already being used to make decisions about people ’s lives\, like whether a person gets a job or a bank loan and how much time a person convicted of a crime might spend in jail\, but students in particular are having their lives and actions analyzed more and more ev ery day. For instance\, proctoring software tries to determine whether s tudents are cheating on exams\, other software looks for plagiarism in s tudent essays and reports\, and there’s even software that analyzes emot ions and/or physical objects — Is the student happy or angry? Are they h olding a cellphone or a gun? \;\n \;\nThis month\, leaders from En code Justice Oregon — Maansi Singh\, Sahana Srinivasan\, and Julianne Hu ang — will join us to share their experiences and their work on drafting policy recommendations for use of AI in schools. They’ll speak about th eir concerns and how they think these technologies should be used in edu cational settings. They'll also discuss the upcoming Youth Citizens Asse mbly\, which will give students an opportunity to add their voices to th e digital privacy conversation and pitch their own ideas. \;\n \;\ nCome join us\, and bring your questions and thoughts about AI in school s! \;\n \;\nPlease RSVP via the Meetup link or by sending an email to ta3mevents@pdxprivacy.org. \;\n \;\n \;\nSpeaker bios: \ ;\n \;\nEncode Justice is a global coalition of youth activists fight ing for justice and accountability in the digital age. Oregon’s chapter\ , Encode Justice Oregon\, works to educate their school\, local and stat ewide communities about algorithmic fairness while supporting legislatio n that encourages the safe and effective implementation of new technolog ies. From working with the Oregon DOJ's Consumer Privacy Task Force to e ngaging in connections with the Electronic Frontier Foundation\, Smart C ity PDX\, PDX Privacy\, and Rose Haven\, Encode Justice Oregon has estab lished a statewide presence centered around furthering the digital priva cy and equitable technology movement. \;\n \;\nMaansi Singh is a s enior at Jesuit High School in Portland\, Oregon. She is the Founder and Executive Director of the Encode Justice Oregon Chapter. Maansi has par ticipated in discussions surrounding the role of youth advocacy in AI et hics with organizations such as the United Nations\, Washington Post\, G oogle\, ACLU\, Meta and the World Economic Forum. Maansi believes that i ntellectual curiosity and the pursuit of new questions surrounding AI ar e ontological components of the ongoing discussion about human rights. T hrough Encode Justice and other efforts\, she has pursued the intersecti on between computer science\, ethics\, policy and education. \;\n 3\;\nSahana Srinivasan is a sophomore at Jesuit High School. She is the Director of Education for Encode Justice Oregon. She is especially inte rested in the intersection of AI in medicine. AI ethics is important to her because in the medical field\, it is critical that AI systems are bo th accurate\, reliable\, and without bias. \;\n \;\nJulianne Huang serves as the Co-Director of Research for Encode Justice’s Oregon Chapt er. Her position allows her to bring a youth voice into the AI Ethics co nversation and inspires her to continue being an advocate for people lik e her who have grown up in a tech-centered world.
