This is a great opportunity to network with a great local speaker (Mike Hryekewicz \, Software Engineer V\, Standard Insurance Company) and industry peers and to find out about Oregon job openings and upcoming community events. \;\n \;\nOWASP Testing Guide describes a set of techniques for fi nding different kinds of security vulnerabilities within an application. This technique is used by testers and developers to help produce secure code and to supplement security reviewers application assessment effort s. \;\n \;\nThis presentation will provide an overview of the guid e\, a road map for where it is heading in the next release\, and guidanc e for how it can be applied in the business of producing secure software solutions. \;\n \;\n \;\nWho should attend? \;\nAnyone int erested in Web Application Security\, including management\, security pr ofessionals\, developers\, students\, etc.. \;\n \;\n \;\nAgend a \;\n11:00am Doors open \;\n11:00am-11:30am Registration\, networ king and lunch \;\n11:30am Welcome &\; Community Announcements \;\n11:45am Program starts \;\n12:50pm Final questions \;\n1:00pm Program ends\n\nTags: sao\, lunch\, owasp\, qa forum\, web security\n\nI mported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250460861 URL:http://www.sao.org/events/event_details.asp?id=150729 SUMMARY:How to Avoid Being the Next Security Breach Headline (OWASP v3) LOCATION:Kells Irish Restaurant & Pub: 112 Sw 2nd Ave\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:3 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110816T172611Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110901T130000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110901T110000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110816T172611Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110816T172611Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250461221 DESCRIPTION:Good business decisions require relevant and valid informatio n. Deciding what information is relevant can be challenging – especially as organizations transition to Agile development and project management methods. This presentation will explore ways to use the Goal-Question-M etric (GQM) technique to inform good decisions by identifying some relev ant reporting measures when applying the Agile scrum methodology. \ ;\n \;\nAgile teams value working software over comprehensive documen tation. Teams deliver working software in short\, iterative releases of business value rather than larger releases of longer duration. This incr eases the need to make quick decisions and the need for relevant and tim ely information. GQM provides a goal-driven way to identify the informat ion our stakeholders really need. \;\n \;\nThis presentation will walk through using GQM\, look at examples of applying it\, review some r elevant Agile measures and discuss relevant measures for different stake holders. Audience participation is expected.\n\nTags: lunch\, sao\, agil e\, qa forum\, methods\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/125 0461221 URL:http://www.sao.org/events/event_details.asp?id=150730 SUMMARY:Agile Metrics that Matter LOCATION:Kells Irish Restaurant & Pub: 112 Sw 2nd Ave\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110927T224714Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20111006T130000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20111006T110000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110927T224714Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110927T224714Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250461394 DESCRIPTION:Cloud computing has become a big topic in the IT industry. Bo lstered by inexpensive\, available platforms\, tools and support\, more and more business are seeing the advantages and moving applications to & quot\;cloud” environments. As this transformation takes place\, how does it change the way QA / Testing professionals approach verifying and val idating that applications meet functional and non-functional requirement s? What should QA be looking for in terms of performance\, integration a nd security? What kinds and amount of testing will vendors be looking fo r before they accept an application into their environment? How much and what kind of testing will the hosting vendor perform before they allow an application to go "\;live”. \;\n \;\nIn this event a panel of experts from different companies focusing on cloud applications\, wil l provide their perspectives and discuss questions and views posed by th e attendees. This will be an interactive discussion – taking a deep dive into the topic and providing a forum for attendees and speakers to shar e insights and experiences. The intention is to raise awareness and know ledge and provide attendees an understanding of the key issues and appro aches when their company considers moving applications to a cloud-based environment. \;\n \;\nBring your questions and/or experiences and be prepared for a great event. \;\n \;\n \;\nMeet the Moderator \;\nGreg Lueck\, Managing Partner\, Centerstance \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nMeet the Presenters \;\nLalli Varadh\, Sr. Director\, Qua lity Engineering\, Salesforce.com \;\n \;\nRich Bader\, President and Chief Executive Officer\, EasyStreet Online Services\, Inc. \;\ n \;\nMike Kellis\, Vice President and Chief Operations Officer Claim Vantage\, Claim Process Management Software \;\n \;\nMark Gibson\, Quality Assurance Engineer\, Centerstance \;\n \;\n \n\nTags: lunch\, sao\, software development\, qa forum\, cloud\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250461394 URL:http://www.sao.org/events/event_details.asp?id=150734 SUMMARY:Cloud Applications - QA and Testing LOCATION:Multnomah Athletic Club (MAC): 1849 Sw Salmon St\, Portland OR 9 7205 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110727T231201Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20111209T170000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20111209T080000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110727T231201Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20111010T162407Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250460987 DESCRIPTION:Generally acknowledged best practices for software developmen t strongly favor co-location\, but with mergers\, acquisitions\, outsour cing\, and off-shoring the co-located team is becoming an endangered spe cies. Teams now are commonly project-based and geographically distribute d. How can we work effectively with team members in different physical l ocations? \;\n \;\nLearn from key open source leaders that with th e help of virtual teams produce some of the highest quality\, most widel y used software today. Come prepared to speak your mind\, share your exp erience\, listen and learn about working in a virtual team. If you are i nvolved anywhere in the software development lifecycle\, this event is f or you. \;\n \;\n \;\nWhat is an Unconference? \;\n \;\nA n Unconference is the inverse of a conference\, in that there’s no prede termined\, pre-set schedule\, agenda\, or speaker lineup. Utilizing the concept of OpenSpace\, this unconference is the coming together of parti cipants\, with no predetermined agenda or program\, to have an open disc ussion and share insight in a place where experts and beginners are equa l. You won't be lectured at\, rather you'll leave with a better understa nding of a topic and the satisfaction of being heard outside Q&\;A ti me. \;\n \;\nThe OpenSpace methodology is carefully designed to el icit maximum involvement and creativity in a constructive atmosphere. It is also highly flexible so that the content is entirely determined by y ou -- the participants. This is not to suggest that the conference will not have content or outcomes\, for there certainly will be both. Achieve ment in the meeting will be totally dependent upon individual and collec tive responsibility to make it happen. The content is what each person s hares\, and the outcome is what we will all create. The event will be in ventive\, creative\, productive and full of surprises. \;\n \;\nC apacity: 160 attendees \;\n \;\nAudience: From executives whom ar e concerned with productivity\, quality and cost management to product o wners\, analysts\, developers\, designers\, and testers all who are atte mpting to share a single thought and build upon it. \;\n \;\n \;\nTickets | Volunteer\n\nTags: sao\, qa forum\, software development\, developers\, mac\, unconference\, open space\, quality\n\nImported from : http://calagator.org/events/1250460987 URL:http://www.sao.org/events/event_details.asp?id=168923 SUMMARY:(Unconference) Evolving Virtual Teams LOCATION:Multnomah Athletic Club (MAC): 1849 Sw Salmon St\, Portland OR 9 7205 US SEQUENCE:6 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
