With first person int erfaces we can allow people to interact digitally with the real world as they are currently experiencing it. This allows people to navigate the space around them\, augment their immediate surroundings\, and interact with nearby objects\, locations\, or people. \;\n \;\nFirst person interfaces enable people to interact with the real world through a set of “always on” sensors. Simply place a computing device in a specific lo cation\, near a specific object or person\, and automatically get releva nt output based on who you are\, where you are\, and who or what is near you. \;\n \;\nThe technology to make this happen is here today bu t these interfaces are in their infancy –they need design help. They nee d designers to care and focus on this class of software. \;\n \;\ nAbout the Speaker \;\nLuke Wroblewski is an internationally recogni zed digital product design leader who has designed or contributed to sof tware used by more than 700 million people worldwide. \;\n \;\nL uke is currently Chief Design Officer and co-founder of a stealth start- up.

It is a room that listens to the notes in your voice and uses them to compose music and change the color of the room. As the project progr essed\, further opportunities for control were implemented. An interacti ve kiosk gives users the ability to choose instruments and control sensi tivity and reactivity parameters. The next step was to insert audio from other times and places by playing field recordings (e.g.\, baby yaks in Tibet\, the 8-line in San Francisco)\, allowing the Haunted Garden to a ctively respond to the augmented sonic environments. \;\n \;\nSim ran will discuss the challenges of designing with sound\, and how he dev eloped “listening agents” who react and comment on sound in the environm ent. He will relate experiences—both as software developer and sound art ist—and explore sound as a medium. Topics will include what is sound scu lpture\, what challenges were uncovered in creating it\, whether the exp erience worked according to plan\, the challenges in developing applicat ions for these sorts of interactions\, the unforeseen consequences resul ting from initial forays into these kinds of devices\, and how an interf ace based on sound might change how we relate to sound and sonic devices . \;\n \;\nAbout the Speaker \;\n Simran Gleason is an artist a nd professional nerd. He started drawing the day after getting a master’ s degree in computer science (symbolic and heuristic computation) from S tanford and drifted through many media before arriving at his current fo cus: making algorithms that make music. Among his more successful instal lations is Haunted Garden\, a room that listens to you\, finds the notes in your conversation\, and uses them to compose an ambient sound and li ghtscape. He also did the generative music and light algorithms for SWAR M\, a gaggle of open source someday-autonomous spherical robots. His wor k has been shown in galleries in San Francisco and Palo Alto\, as well a s installations at Maker Fair\, Yuri’s Night\, Coachella\, and the speci al olympics of art: Burning Man.

Long associated with gaming\ , these sensors are making their way into our everyday ‘utility’ devices . For example\, think about the average smart phone: it likely contains a proximity sensor\, an accelerometer/orientation sensor\, an ambient li ght sensor\, a gyroscopic sensor\, and a moisture sensor. Cameras can re cognize head motion and facial gestures\; they can track body movements and compare them to motion models. \;\n \;\nAs these sensors beco me part of everyday interactive devices\, we are ushering in new forms o f gestural interaction\, which is changing how we interact with digital experiences and data\, and changing the nature of our computer-mediated communications. In this talk\, Elizabeth will offer some observations an d speculations on how the world of physical computing\, broadly construe d\, is changing the way in which we interact with our devices\, each oth er\, and interactive digital experiences. \;\n \;\nAbout the Spea ker \;\n \;\nDr. Elizabeth Churchill is a Principal Research Scie ntist and manager of the Internet Experiences group at Yahoo! Research. Originally a psychologist by training\, Elizabeth has focused throughout her career on understanding the ways in which people interact—whether t heir interactions are primarily face-to-face or are technologically medi ated. She has published within the areas of theoretical and applied psyc hology\, cognitive science\, human-computer interaction\, and computer-s upported cooperative work. Elizabeth has a BSc in Experimental Psycholog y and a MSc in Knowledge Based Systems\, both from the University of Sus sex\, and a PhD in Cognitive Science from the University of Cambridge. S he regularly teaches at the University of California\, Berkeley’s School of Information. In 2010\, she was recognized as a Distinguished Scienti st by the Association for Computing Machinery.

Smart mete rs themselves are not\, however\, customer-friendly portals\, nor do the y give utilities the option of communicating with their customers direct ly. This is where in-home displays (IHD)\, or the more comprehensive hom e energy monitoring and management systems (HEMS) come into play. Monito ring devices for the home\, such as the Kill-a-Watt\, have been around f or more than a decade\, but the first technologies on the market can be considered analog\, at best. In the past several years\, more mature HEM S have evolved which can give customers detailed information about every energy-using device in their home. \;\n \;\nThe most sophistica ted HEMS\, such as Tendril’s Connect platform\, allow homeowners to cont rol their lighting\, appliances\, and even electric vehicles remotely\, truly transforming a home into a smart home. But\, these systems are onl y just emerging on the market\, and there is no road map for how utiliti es use them to communicate with customers. In this talk\, Emily will dis cuss the evolution of these devices and what the latest technologies on the market are capable of\, as well as how HEMS play a pivotal role in t he evolution of the smart home. \;\n \;\nAbout the Speaker \; \n \;\nEmily Kemper is an Associate Member of the American Institute of Architects\, and is the only public member of the Oregon Governor’s B oard for Residential and Manufactured Structures. In her capacity at PEC I\, she is working to leverage emerging technology into existing and new residential energy efficiency program models\, while advancing industry and public knowledge of energy efficiency in homes and buildings. Emily hails from Cincinnati\, Ohio\, and has a Bachelor’s degree in Architect ure and a Master’s degree in Building Science. Her current research incl udes home energy monitoring systems\, saving energy through behavior cha nge\, and smart homes.

She has done some running over the last year\, but this will be her first marathon. She do esn’t have a training partner\, but a voice in her ear expertly nudges h er on\, while her mobile device records her pace\, her route\, and saves it to a training log in the cloud. A friend comments later on Facebook about her commitment\, noting that he has trouble running so early in th e morning. \;\n \;\nTryouts for the high school soccer team are i n three months\, but Steve is starting his training now. A device in the midsole of his shoe and in the soccer ball he uses measures direction a nd acceleration\, and compares his data to his peers and to the pros. An app on his mobile device records his statistics\, shows him where he is strong and where he is weak\, and gives him a training program to eleva te his game. \;\n \;\nAnalytics\, the marriage of computer scienc e and statistics\, allows us to derive meaning from large sets of data. Historically it has been the domain of business strategy and marketing\, used to zero in on patterns which enable strategists to forecast future market behavior and improve outcomes. New mobile technology allows user s to collect their own data\, connects them to the best science\, and do es so in a way that is personal\, social\, and highly targeted. The Nike + Sensor records running performance\, the Adidas miCoach Speed Cell mea sures multi-directional motion for sports training\, the Withings scale and blood pressure monitor helps people monitor their health\, and UP by Jawbone measures activity level\, sleep cycles\, and eating patterns. & #13\;\n \;\nHow has user-centered design shaped the direction of thes e new technologies? In this presentation\, Jeanne will explore the ways that people have integrated these devices into their lives and discuss w hether the technology has followed through on the promise to improve hea lth\, performance\, and lifestyle. \;\n \;\nAbout the Speaker \ ;\n \;\nJeanne Turner is a passionate and versatile interaction desig ner who is dedicated to creating delightful experiences through greater understanding of user needs\, goals\, and motivations. After earning a BA in Computer Science with a focus on Human-Computer Interaction\, she’ s spent the past 7 years using her skills to build both mobile applicati ons and web environments for clients including Ecotrust\, Vanderbilt Owe n School of Management\, Tektronix\, Harvard Business School\, Starbucks \, and Amazon.

They must have not yet experienced what ViviTouch c an add to their gaming experience. ViviTouch enables a gamer to experien ce thousands of sensations in a versatile language of feedback in the pa lm of the hand. This allows game developers to change the way that their games interact with the gamer. \;\n \;\nTom will present the exc iting consumer reactions from the recent introduction of this technology to gamers and game developers. A case study of the Mophie Pulse gaming case that turns the iPod Touch into a gaming platform with a rumble expe rience that surpasses console controllers will also be presented. Tom wi ll introduce how game developers can enable gamers to truly experience V iviTouch for iOS\, Android\, and other platforms by using available desi gn guides and SDKs. \;\n \;\nUser experience designers can use th is innovative technology to communicate useful information through the s ense of touch\, such as who is calling or messaging\, or enabling a user to feel different parts of their screen\, to even potentially enable si ghtless typing on a touch screen. ViviTouch can become a new tool for us er experience designers to integrate to create truly innovative user int erfaces. \;\n \;\nTom joined AMI in September 2007 as Vice Preside nt of Engineering. Prior to AMI\, Tom was the Engineering Program Manage r for Skypilot Networks\, a developer of low cost / high volume wireless infrastructure products.

I’m lucky that\, for the most part\, I get to sit back an d watch all of the amazing stuff that happens in Portland. And I consist ently revel in the awesomeness that people here are building. With PDX\, we wanted to showcase that almost frenetic variety of creativity in our town. But we also wanted to bring in folks who subscribed to common ide als. That’s why\, in addition to some amazing Portland people\, you’ll f ind folks like Tumblr and Flipboard on the docket. \;\n \;\nSecond \, we wanted this to be a true creative festival atmosphere. One of thin gs we wanted most was to make this a festival of creativity\, with some of that being creative applications of technology and some of that being the creative spirit of the music industry. That’s why MFNW and PDX are inextricably linked. And it’s also why we’ve got speakers with a foot in music and a foot in tech\, like Spotify\, Shazam\, CASH Music\, and Ten der Loving Empire. \;\n \;\nThird\, we wanted to create something intimate\, inspiring\, and invigorating. Many of us remember the serendi pitous experiences of conferences like SXSW and Big Omaha. We wanted to capture that same kind of experience\, bring interesting speakers\, and get interesting folks in town for the event. Our goal is to have you sit ting next to someone you never imagined having the opportunity to meet. Or getting the chance to chat with an amazing panelist at one of the con certs. Or simply running into someone on the street at the food carts. A nd maybe\, just maybe\, you’ll get to spend a little more time chatting with awesome Portland people whom you never get to see. \;\n \;\nL ast but not least\, we wanted PDX to provide a good excuse for people to visit Portland. Especially for those folks who are actively considering Portland for the next phase of their business or career. You see\, some times we forget how lucky we are to live where we do. And to work here. But rest assured\, there are any number of people and companies outside looking in. And this is a great opportunity to showcase what we’ve got h ere. \;\n \;\nhttp://siliconflorist.com/2012/08/14/experience-port land-thinking-musicfestnw-tech-conference-pdx/\n\nTags: startups\, confe rence\, creative\, tech\, digital\, pdx\, plancast:plan=chry\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250462728 URL:http://lanyrd.com/2012/pdxconf/ SUMMARY:Portland Digital eXperience (PDX) LOCATION:Various: false SEQUENCE:5 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120807T150312Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120905T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120905T183000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120807T150312Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120807T150312Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250462688 DESCRIPTION:Admission is free for CHIFOO members.

These tools can be applied to organizations of all sizes – from start up to large global organizations – and will be applied to relevant case studies. \;\n \;\n
This will be a highly interactive session where you will learn how to apply the following gra phical tools: \;\n \;\nMaking Better Decisions Faster: Management’ s role in accelerating innovation and time-to-market \;\nApplying “Ju st Right” processes: Optimizing process within your organization \;\n The Innovation Framework: Poising teams for success \;\nCreating Effe ctive Teams: Time is gained or lost at the team level \;\nEliminating Political Roadblocks: They slow teams and hinder innovation \;\nPart icipants will also receive free downloads of the tools that they can cus tomize to their organization to begin accelerating product innovation.&# 13\;\n \;\nAbout the Speaker \;\nJeanne Bradford (@jeannebradford) is the co-author of Innovate Products Faster: Graphical Tools for Accele rating Product Development\, and a principal of TCGen\, a Silicon Valley based management consulting firm\, practicing in the area of product de velopment best practices. \;\n \;\nJeanne has been a business and technology leader across a broad range of high tech companies over her t wenty-five year career.

Big data involves huge data sets\, coming in at different speeds\, from all directions. Everyday\, we create 2.5 quintillion byte s of data online. All that data (a quintillion has 30 zeros) comes from social media\, digital pictures\, purchase transactions\, and elsewhere on the web. \;\nThis kind of data sinks traditional database systems. To analyze the data\, we need fancier systems. That’s why IBM Watson wo n Jeopardy\, but Siri continues to drive us crazy with her analytical sh ortcomings. \;\n \;\nPredictive analytics can figure out how to l and on Mars\, but it cannot predict who will buy a Mars bar. What gives? Luckily\, marketing automation tools from companies like Eloqua and Mar keto are changing the game. \;\n \;\nJoin us for a dive into the s ea of data.

Yet de monstrating this has been a vexing challenge for designers. Using metric s that matter to leaders as the kernel in a story is key to meeting busi ness leaders halfway in their quest to understand what design\, UX and H CI can do for them. Furthermore\, contrary to popular belief\, there is not a clear-cut set of metrics\, a “clip of silver bullets”\, that works for all situations. What to measure then\, is highly situational. Desig n Thinking is perfect for developing solutions to highly situational cha llenges. \;\n \;\nThis presentation will cover the presenter’s ex amples and experiences in successfully applying Design Thinking to demon strate the value of design\, UX and HCI to business in: \;\n•Determi ning what to measure for a situation \;\n•Measuring what matters to key stakeholders \;\n•Designing a viable\, sustained measurement syst em \;\n•Communicating the results with impact to key stakeholders \;\n \;\nAbout the Speaker \;\nSteve Sato is the founder of Sato+P artners\, a management consulting and organization development firm by a nd for design leaders.

The concept of kick-a ss is\, more often than not\, resting precariously upon the notion of au thenticity: that which is either original or conforms to an accepted nor m set forth by an original. However\, is it really that simple? In actua lity\, the term is more loaded in nature than it would appear. Authentic ity is tied\, as are all sought-after commodities\, to economic dynamics . We’ll discuss why some products and concepts are viewed as authentic a nd other\, tandem\, items as old-hat and what that means to us as UX pro fessionals. \;\n \;\nPart Two: “What Should You Measure and How Do You Present It for Impact?” with Nechama Katan. Nechama will provide a process for continuous data discovery and analysis focused on metrics an d measures that matter. We will explore some tools that provide self-ser vice analytics and show how they can be used to maintain a relevant set of measures. Finally\, good data is not enough\, how it is presented mat ters. \;\n \;\n \;\nPart Three: “Hopeful Monsters: Punctuated Equilibrium and the Post-Book Age” with Corey Pressman. The advent of hy pertext and the new art of interaction design signal the dawn of a post- book epoch. We will focus on the User Experience Design opportunities th is moment affords. Innovative products and features such as content-rich apps and shared marginalia will be presented\, evaluated\, and discusse d. \;\n\n\nTags: design\, ux\, tech\n\nImported from: http://calagat or.org/events/1250465008 URL:http://www.chifoo.org/index.php/chifoo/events/ SUMMARY:CHIFOO Presents: Three Kick-Ass Power Presentations\, One Night LOCATION:Connective DX Community Room: 2030 NW Pettygrove St\, Portland O R 97209 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20131104T193511Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20131107T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20131107T160000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20131104T193511Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20131104T193511Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250465175 DESCRIPTION:The National Launch of VetsInTech!!! \;\nOCTOBER 16\, 2013 \;\nJoin us in SF for the National Launch of VetsinTech!!

In contrast\, most organizations struggle to do releases more than every nine months. \;\n \;\nThe authors of the upcoming “DevOps Cookbook” have been studying high performing organi zations since 1999\, and we capture and codify how these high-performing organizations achieve this fast flow of work through Product Management and Development\, through QA and Infosec\, and into IT Operations. By doing so\, other organizations can now replicate the extraordinary cultu re and outcomes enabling their organization to scale and win in the mark etplace. \;\n \;\nThe goal of the DevOps Cookbook is to help accel erate DevOps adoption\, increase the success of DevOps initiatives\, and lower the activation energy required for DevOps transformations to star t and finish. \;\n \;\n*This is the 6th event in a series of free monthly FutureTalks from disruptive Developers\, innovative Technologist s and world-changing Creatives. Networking begins at 5:30\, with free fo od and drinks.

These pure and objective taste profiles (we col lect tens of thousands of data points from each bottle of beer and wine) are then coupled with sophisticated machine-learning software and user preference data to create an incredibly accurate recommendation and disc overy engine. Next Glass leverages augmented reality functionality to de liver these highly-accurate wine and beer recommendations to users on th eir mobile devices. \;\n \;\nTrace will explain how each of these elements (science\, machine learning\, and augmented reality) benefit be er and wine consumers and how Next Glass stumbled upon the idea to combi ne them to do so. \;\n \;\n*Doors will open at 5:30p. The food and drinks are provided by Bellagios and New Relic. The presentation will b egin right at 6p. **Then stick around for a special post-event happy hou r!** You'll get to taste some Oregon beer and wine ... then be one of th e first to demo the Next Glass app live at the event\, and receive prior ity access to the beta later this month!* \;\n \;\n**Please RSVP v ia Eventbrite [HERE](http://bit.ly/1xFmcgK)** \;\n \;\n*Trace Smit h is the Chief Operating Officer at Next Glass.

It’s because we fall in the tra p of thinking we can design a user interface and write it at the same ti me when\, the truth is\, these processes require different kinds of thin king. But learning how to unlock that part of your brain is worth it– an d you’ll be surprised at what you already know. From one developer to an other\, this talk will discuss why you should think critically about the interfaces you write and give you some strategies you can start applyin g right away. \;\n \;\nThis talk is aimed at developers\, both fro nt-end and server-side\, who implement user interfaces but may not have training in UX. And the truth is\, ALL programmers implement user interf aces\; sometimes the user is another developer (in the case of an API) o r a more advanced user (for a command-line tool)\, but all software has its users. \;\n \;\n*Doors will open at 5:30\, and the presentatio n will begin right at 6p.

He will give not one\, but 2 talks: \;\n \;\n# Devoxx4Kid s: # \;\n## So your kid is interested in programming\, robotics\, eng ineering? ## \;\n \;\nDevoxx4Kids is a worldwide initiative that i ntroduces programming\, robotics\, and engineering to kids at an early a ge. This is achieved by organizing events where children can develop com puter games\, program robots and also have an introduction to electronic s. This effort won Duke’s Choice Awards at JavaOne 2013. This session wi ll share how Devoxx4Kids is engaging kids at an early age and teaching t hem computing concepts using Scratch\, Greenfoot\, Minecraft\, Raspberry Pi\, Arduino\, NAO\, Tynker. The session will show a path that can be f ollowed by parents to keep their kids engaged and build\, instead of jus t play games. The attendees will learn best practices to organize simila r workshops in their local setting. Tips on opening a local US chapter a nd how to build attendee base will be shared. \;\n \;\n# Continuou s Integration using Java EE 7 # \;\n \;\nTechniques such as automa ted testing\, continuous integration and continuous deployment allow sof tware to be developed to a high standard and easily packaged and deploye d to test environments\, resulting in the ability to rapidly\, reliably and repeatedly push out enhancements and bug fixes to customers at low r isk and with minimal manual overhead. What container-agnostic tools are available for testing\, continuous integration and deployment of a Java EE 7 application? \;\n \;\nThis talk will provide a quick overview of Arquillian and how it helps in testing across multiple containers. S eparate approaches for greenfield and brownfield applications will be sh own. Configuring Jenkins for Continuous Integration will be shown. Setti ng up multiple WildFly containers on OpenShift for testing and productio n will be shown in detail. At the end of this session\, attendees would have converted their development environment to leverage the power of Je nkins\, Arquillian\, and OpenShift to setup an automated Continuous Deli very pipeline. \;\n \;\n*Doors will open at 5:30\, and the present ation will begin right at 6p.

The difference being\; nP Crew memb ers will remain throughout their lifetime\, contributing to the company that provides for their on-going training\, work and living requirements . \;\n \;\nThe nonPareil program has grown over the last 4 years f rom 9\, to 150 individuals\; all on the autism spectrum. With over 800+ on the waiting list\, and requests to open in over 40 cities\, nP is pos itioned for rapid growth over the years to come. nonPareil Founder and C EO Dan Selec will be speaking at this session. \;\n \;\n**› Doors will open at 5:30p for a special networking happy hour!

It's the American dream: learn the desirable skill and you' ll succeed financially. Liz will discuss the history of the American Dre am\, how new programming education endeavors have repackaged it\, and ho w the lack of awareness and analysis of this privileged rhetoric is dama ging our culture and workforce. \;\n \;\n*Liz Abinante is an engin eer living in Portland working for New Relic. Previously\, she has serve d as co-leader for the Chicago chapter of Girl Develop It\, where she ta ught and organized programming classes for women and minorities. She is infectiously enthusiastic about web development\, teaching\, learning\, and feminism. She enjoys knitting\, writing knitting programs and patter ns\, and hacking away on interesting problems. Her greatest dream in lif e is to spend her entire day surrounded by puppies while coding.* \;\ n \;\n \;\n##Women in Today's Tech## \;\n \;\nAt ChickTech\, we're often asked exactly why women are so underrepresented in technolo gy. This is a hard question to answer\, because it rarely is just one th ing. It's a complex mix that we often call "\;death by a thousand cu ts"\;. 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. She has a BS in Computer Engineering fr om Oregon State University and an MBA from Willamette University. She be lieves strongly that the diversity and strengths that women can bring wi ll push high tech to even more impressive heights. Her inspiration for c reating ChickTech came from her own experiences in computer engineering and the realization that the percentage of women in engineering isn’t go ing to get higher by itself.* \;\n \;\n***› Doors will open at 5:3 0 for a 30-minute networking happy hour!

The NEAT web portal simplifies and guides the creation of otherwise complex scri pts through the use of an intuitive user interface that manages a web el ement object repository\, test case input data\, and test scripts. This approach is intended to enable test script automation to be completed in hours or days instead of weeks or months. The motivation behind NEAT is to equip business analysts\, without automation expertise\, with an int uitive tool to create and execute sophisticated\, automated end-to-end t esting scripts. This framework enables teams to increase automated test coverage and allows the highly skilled automation developers to focus on more complex automation testing needs of the organization. \;\n \ ;\nAbout Our Speaker: Loren J. Brown is a Test Automation Architect and owner of Quantum Peg\, Inc. He is currently teaming up with John Cvetko from TEK Associates to develop the DEAP testing tool. After obtaining a Bachelor’s in Computer Science at Portland State University\, Loren work ed for over two decades as a QA Engineer in various capacities. At Intel Corporation he spent a little over a dozen years in various product tea ms and Intel Labs as a QA Lead in various software projects including Vi deo Conferencing\, IP Telephony\, TCP/IP Network Performance\, and other s. He spent over six years at Automatic Data Processing (ADP) as a QA Le ad developing various test automation frameworks and harnesses\, and mul tiple software lifecycle data visualization projects.

Initially it’s easy to put somethin g together that works for a small number of test cases\, but as the appl ication evolves\, the troubleshooting/maintenance needs of the tests qui ckly overcome the ability of the team. Eventually (around 6-12 months) a new engineer takes over and restarts the automation effort in a new dir ection\, often with the same issues. \;\n \;\nThis presentation w ill be focused on how to use the OOP concept of Abstraction to reduce th e maintenance costs of automation and extend the life of your frameworks . Additional benefits will be discussed\, like the ability to change the Automation Technology without rebuilding all your tests. \;\n \; \nThese concepts will work with 3rd party automation products like QTP a s well as homegrown frameworks. You will get the most value from abstrac tion when its added at the beginning of the projects\, but we will discu ss how they can be leverages in larger\, existing frameworks. \;\nLev el: \;\nIntermediate.

It suggests an activity aimed at eliciting meaning… \;\n \;\nThe Greeks introduced the idea that individuals are not intellig ent on their own\, that it's only by reasoning together that they are ab le to uncover the truth for themselves. …By questioning and probing each other\, carefully dissecting and analyzing ideas\, finding the inconsis tencies\, never attacking or insulting but always searching for what the y can accept between them\, they can gradually attain deeper understandi ng and insight. \;\n \;\nThe role of QA is often seen as one that only reports negatively on the work of others: “…found a bug with your code”\; “…the way you designed this isn’t good for the end user”\; “…You never include requirements in your stories…and when you do\, they lack sufficient details.” \;\n \;\nThe importance of True Dialogue is that it allows positive reactions and outcomes\, from negative input…whe n done well\, the benefits can be extraordinary! \;\n \;\nAbout ou r speaker: Joe Famme is a Quality Minded individual\, who’s been helping to improve the quality of his teams\, and the software they work on\, f or over 20 years. He started in phone support with WordPerfect\, in the early nineties. After about a year and a half of that…and the release of Windows 3.0…he discovered the world of QA\, and has never looked back.& #13\;\n \;\nBesides WordPerfect\, Joe’s also worked for internationa lly known companies Novell\, Corel\, Intel\, and Sage. \;\n \;\nJ oe’s been working in the Portland Tech Community since 1996. He’s been p art of several strong Oregon Companies and several startup companies\, . com’s &\; .bomb’s. And\, Joe’s been part of the SQAUG organization si nce before it became a public group. \;\n \;\nIn all of his years of being part of the Quality Assurance field\, he has found that the qu est for the mastery of effective communication and true dialogue has bee n a key element to success. And\, he hopes that some of the dialogue dur ing his presentation provides at least one insight for all attendees to take back to their teams. \;\n \;\nAgenda: \;\n5:30-6:00PM: Pi zza and Networking \;\n6:00-6:15PM: SQAUG Announcements \;\n6:15- 7:30PM: Presentation/Q&\;A \;\n \;\nDetails: \;\n· Event i s Free to the public \;\n· Onsite parking (directions below) \;\n · Light Hors d'oeuvres and beverages will be served \;\n· No RSVP is required to attend \;\n \;\nSQAUG is Portland/Vancouver area’s o nly Software Quality Assurance User Group!

Accessibility seems like a thing that we sho uld do... but it's sometimes uncomfortable to talk about and it feels li ke there aren't that many people who need it anyway... right? \;\n 3\;\nWrong. About 1 in 5 Americans reports that they have some kind of d isability - from hearing impairment\, vision impairment\, mobility issue s to mental disabilities and more. What does this mean for you and your company? It means that if you're not creating sites\, services\, and pro ducts with this group of people in mind\, you're letting go of a multi-b illion dollar market share. It also means that you're missing opportunit ies to be innovative leaders in your space. It also - finally - means th at you're about to be breaking the law. Did you know that companies like Target and Netflix have been successfully (and expensively) sued for fa ilure to create and maintain accessible sites? Well\, they have. And we don't want that for you. \;\n \;\nWe're putting on a seriously han ds-on workshop to help people from all ends of all companies think about this topic. Building the Accessibility Roadmap is a hands-on workshop. It is not a panel\, or a lecture\, or a networking schmooze event. You w ill leave with a real plan that you can implement. If you\, your departm ent\, or company is ready to start thinking about the "\;accessibili ty question"\; - whether because it's the right thing to do or becau se it's the law - this workshop is designed to take you through our prop rietary tool and roadmap system that points the way forward. You'll leav e with actionable tasks\, not just ideas or theory. \;\n \;\nWhen : Tues. Aug 4th at 6-8:30pm \;\nWhere: 52 LTD \;\nWho: Anyone inte rested in learning more about actionable accessibility \;\n \;\nI f you're ready to start planning AND doing\, this workshop is for you.

In these cases\, the negotiators follow a f ormal process to achieve their successes. While important\, not everyone is involved in buying and selling in this sense. Many of us are navigat ing workplace issues on our way to becoming respected professionals and leaders. Examples of our work conversations revolve around getting resou rces to do our job\, priority for our projects\, for getting new opportu nities\, support for our ideas\, for advancement\, to hammer out budget agreements\, a change in title\, or a change in work schedule. Negotiati ng skill is critical to accomplishing these goals. Today\, we will learn how to apply a deal-maker’s formal negotiation process to our work conv ersations in order to achieve our goals\, to bring professional happines s and to develop as leaders in our organizations.

You want to make sure your deskto p site is fully accessible but now it is perhaps more important to make sure your mobile site or responsive web site is fully accessible to peop le with with disabilities. Many people with disabilities prefer using a mobile device to the desktop. WCAG2 was written before mobile devices w ere ubiquitous\, and there are some accessibility issues unique to the m obile format\, such as lack of keyboard\, lack of mouse hover and reduce d screen size. Gian will be talking about the most common problems and h ow you can avoid them. \;\n \;\n \;\nMore about Gian Wild: \ ;\n \;\nGian Wild is the CEO of AccessibilityOz an Australian company that is expanding into the U.S. Market. Gian has worked in the accessib ility industry since 1998 and consulted on the development of the first Level AAA accessible web site in Australia. She ran the accessibility co nsultancy PurpleTop from 2000 to 2005 and built the accessibility tool\, PurpleCop. Gian Wild spent seven years on the W3C Web Content Accessibi lity Guidelines Working Group and contributed to the W3C Evaluation and Repair Tools Working Group and the W3C Authoring Tools Accessibility Gui delines Working Group. She spent six years contributing to the developme nt of WCAG2. In addition to her accessibility work\, Gian is often asked to judge the accessibility aspect of web awards\, having previously jud ged the Web Directions McFarlane Award\, been the Accessibility Judge fo r FullCodePress (build a web site in a day) twice and has been the Acces sibility Judge for the Australian Web Awards three years running. \;\ n \;\nSoft drinks provided by Puppet Labs. \;\n \;\nThe Portlan d Accessibility and User Experience Meetup will address how to incorpora te accessibility and universal design principles into project planning\, user research\, and UX evaluation. The purpose of this meet up is to ho st an ongoing conversation about how to design and build tools that are inclusive to the greatest number of people possible - meaning those with and without (dis)abilities. \;\n \;\nWe intend to discuss topics related to accessibility policy and regulations\, incorporating people w ith disabilities into an iterative project lifecycle\, how to conduct UX research with diverse populations\, automated and manual tools for UX e valuation\, building accessibility into company policy and practice\, an d much more! \;\n \;\nA UX Universal and Inclusive Design meet up is timely as we see the Dept. of Justice handing down ruling after ruli ng requiring digital products and services to be accessible (i.e. Netfli x\, Redbox\, Target\, etc...). This meet up will provide a much needed r esource for Portland based companies and individuals interested in acces sibility\, universal design\, and inclusive design. \n\nTags: tech\, tec hnology\, accessibility\, disabilities\, lecture\, mobile\, Mobile Marke ting\, mobile phones\, cell phone\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org /events/1250469199 URL:http://www.meetup.com/Portland-Accessibility-and-User-Experience-Meet up/ SUMMARY:PDXAUX Guest Presenter: Gian Wild on Mobile Accessibility LOCATION:Puppet: 308 SW 2nd Ave Fifth Floor\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:3 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151027T153739Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151027T193000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151027T173000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151027T153739Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151027T153739Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250469296 DESCRIPTION:*NOTE: LOCATION HAS CHANGED TO OLD IVY TAPROOM* \;\n \; \nVanTechy is the social starting point for the Vancouver Tech scene. 3\;\n \;\nThe beginning of a startup is about people and ideas.

One c hallenge is getting the Docker runtime deployed on operating systems alr eady approved by IT and part of existing deployment processes. Once the runtime is deployed\, teams need to quickly start managing their contai ner apps across the available cluster nodes. Finally\, teams need a clea r path to integrate Docker management technologies like Docker Universal Control Plane into existing change management and delivery processes.&# 13\;\n \;\nThis talk will cover: \;\n \;\nUsing configuration m anagement tools to deploy the docker runtime\, sync Docker images\, and ensure containers are running where desired with the desired runtime con figuration. \;\nUsing configuration management practices of identific ation\, control\, status accounting\, and verification/audit to manage D ocker infrastructure over time \;\nBuild Docker infrastructure change management processes leveraging infrastructure as code to enable contin uous peer review\, audit\, and replication. \;\n \;\n \;\nCarl Caum is a technical marketing manager at Puppet Labs with a background i n systems administration\, software development\, and product management .

The format is casual\, with opportunities to network before and after. Hors d'oeuvres and a no-host bar are available\, so grab a beer and stay awhile. \;\nMeet People &\; Grow Your Network \;\n \;\nWe e xpect lots of faces from the electronics manufacturing industry\, so be sure to bring your business cards. This is an excellent opportunity to m eet new faces and reconnect with colleagues. \;\n \;\n \;\nThre e Expert Speakers \;\n \;\nAn Introduction to Intellectual Propert y \;\nDr. Laura Zager\, patent attorney (more info) \;\n \;\n&q uot\;I've got a great idea for a business name\, and just printed it on 3000 mugs!"\; "\;I think I need to get a patent so I'll be clear to make and sell my product."\; "\;Of course I own my company's logo—I paid a graphic designer to create it!"\; All of these statem ents represent misunderstandings of intellectual property law\, which ca n trip up even the most conscientious of business owners. This talk will give a quick overview of the key areas of intellectual property law in the US\, and will use case studies and examples to flag some of the most common pitfalls. \;\n \;\nFinancial\, Business and Estate Plannin g Strategies for Business Owners \;\nDiana Wojcik\, patent valuation analyst (more info) \;\n \;\nCovering incorporation choices\, valu ations\, tax strategy\, and continuity/succession plans\, Diana will ill ustrate different options available to business owners and explain the c osts\, risks\, and benefits of each\, to help business owners plan ahead to maximize their gains and minimize their risks.

In theory this approach makes a lot of s ense\, but in practice it is fraught with challenges. In his talk\, Fris hberg leads the group through a couple of case studies in which the busi ness got almost everything wrong\, and was all the better because of it. \;\n \;\n\n\nTags: electronics\, manufacturing\, startup\, start- up\, tech\, seminar\, brewery\, patents\, financial\, lean manufacturing \n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250470278 URL:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ema-era-talk-trade-how-to-start-and-grow -your-business-tickets-25415492422 SUMMARY:EMA Trade Talk LOCATION:Golden Valley Brewing: 1520 NW Bethany Blvd\, Beaverton OR 97006 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160531T231051Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160606T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160606T183000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160531T231051Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160812T235854Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250470373 DESCRIPTION:This month we will have talks by Jérôme Petazzoni from Docker and Tom Trahan from Shippable! \;\n \;\nAgenda: \;\n \;\n6 :30 - Welcome\, networking\, food and drinks \;\n \;\n7:00 - Tom Trahan: Creating application delivery pipelines with Docker \;\n \;\nContinuous Integration (CI) helps developers and ops teams ship more code faster. And with Docker\, the pains of friction between these two groups is radically reduced by having predictable reusable environments. Tom will talk about how teams can think about this new world of applica tion pipelines\, show how CI works in Docker with Shippable\, and shares some of our experiences in implementing Docker to accelerate applicatio n delivery. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nTom Trahan is the VP\, Busine ss Development of Shippable\, a venture-backed startup providing hosted continuous delivery platform built on containers.

You can find him on Twitter as @Tom_Trahan. \;\n \;\n7:45 - Jérôme Petazzo ni: Open source recipes to build\, ship and run production apps with Doc ker \;\n \;\nGetting started with Docker is relatively straightfor ward:install the Docker Engine\, write Dockerfiles for your application components\, and put those components together with a Compose file. At t his point\, your application can be quickly and reliably deployed on any Docker installation\, anywhere\, in minutes. Great! \;\n \;\nHow do we take this to production? How do we scale from the single-node set up to a multi-node\, highly-available cluster? \;\n \;\nThrough a whirlwind of live demos\, Jérôme will show how to provision a Swarm clu ster with Docker Machine\, setup overlay networks\, host a local registr y\, deploy ELK to manage logs\, implement load balancing\, and finally u se the resulting platform to build\, ship\, and run a demo application b uilt around a microservices architecture. \;\n \;\n \;\n \; \nJérôme works at Docker\, where he helps others to containerize all the things. He was part of the team that built\, scaled\, and operated the dotCloud PAAS\, before it became Docker. When annoyed he threatens to re place things with a very small shell script.

In the post-PC era\, asynchronous programming is even more in demand because mobile and wearable devices have limited resources and access the network excessively.

A great product onl y had to work and ship. A great experience was a nice-to-have\, not a re quirement. Times have changed. The cost of delivering a product is no lo nger a barrier to entry. Quality is no longer a differentiator. What’s l eft? The user’s experience. \;\n \;\nEvery part of the organizatio n must be infused with an understanding of great design. Your organizati on has to cross the UX Tipping Point. You must increase everyone’s expos ure to users\, communicate a solid experience vision\, and install a cul ture of continual learning. With that\, design will become your organiza tion’s competitive advantage. \;\n \;\nJared will show you and you r team: \;\n \;\n• Which path organizations take to become design- infused \;\n• How a centralized UX team is a stepping stone to a mor e UX capable organization \;\n• Why the market needs to demand a bet ter experience before it will matter \;\n• What your organization wi ll need to do to cross the UX Tipping Point \;\n \;\n———— \;\n& #13\;\nJared M. Spool is a co-founder of Center Centre and the founder o f UIE. In 2016\, with Dr. Leslie Jensen-Inman\, he opened Center Centre\ , a new design school in Chattanooga\, TN to create the next generation of industry-ready UX Designers.

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.

D esign is a process where we finely tune our intuition to create great us er experiences. Yet\, sometimes\, what we think is best rivals the metri cs. So which do we believe-our gut or the data? \;\n \;\nIn the wo rld of measures\, metrics\, and Key Performance Indicators some practice s\, like the growth hacking approach to increasing Monthly Average Users (MAUs)\, have hurt the online experience of Instagram and LinkedIn. Whi le alternatives to satisfaction and net promoter score give insight into the design process and help designers have better instincts. \;\n 3\;\nIf you’re ready to talk to your teams about what you really need\, help management interpret the data\, and create analytical experiments t hat provide design insights\, don’t miss this talk. \;\n \;\nAbout the Speaker \;\nJared Spool (@jmspool) is a co-founder of Center Cen tre and the founder of UIE. \;\n \;\nWhile he led UIE\, the indust ry research firm he started in 1988\, the field of UX design emerged and Jared helped define what makes UX designers successful all over the wor ld.

That's why so many workers and prospecti ve employees are required to learn Excel to enter or remain in the workp lace. Unfortunately many college students\, recent grads\, and professio nals haven’t mastered Excel or have the adequate Excel skills employers are seeking. According to Payscale\, “ 80 percent of job openings requir e spreadsheet and word-processing software skills. Yet so many people ne ver even give Excel a chance because it has an intimidating stigma aroun d it.” \;\n \;\nIf you walk through the finance or accounting depa rtment at any major corporate office\, you will see computer screens fil led with Excel spreadsheets outlining financial results\, budgets\, fore casts\, and plans used to make big business decisions. Marketing and Pro duct profesionals using Excel to list customer and sales targets\; manag ing thier sales force and planning future marketing plans based on past results. Pivot tables to quickly and easily summarize customer and sales data by category with a quick drag-and drop. HR professionals using gia nt spreadsheets full of employee data and understand exactly where the c osts are coming from and how to best plan and control them for the futur e.

Microsoft Excel is one of the top tools for data a nalysis and the built-in pivot tables are arguably the most popular anal ytic tool. \;\n \;\nMAKE YOUR RESUME STAND OUT \;\nThey are NOT seeing if you simply have Excel as a skill. They are diving deeping whe n it comes to determining which candidate to interview and hire. They lo ok for Pivot Table\, VLOOKUP\, Macros\, VBA\, Conditional Formatting\, C harting and Filtering…These are far more telling of your ability to an e mployer then writing Excel.

Want to finally use the programme with ease and confidence at work and become known as a n expert user? Take your Excel skills to the next level with our Advance d Excel course. You’ll soon be crunching data\, using advanced formulas\ , creating impressive graphs and charts like a pro\, plus much more. \;\n \;\nWHY EXCEL MATTERS \;\nWe all know Excel is essential for any business. When efficiently applied it is a powerful tool\, allowing you to manipulate vast amounts of data\, automate tasks and present comp lex information however you see fit. According to Payscale\, “80 percent of job openings require spreadsheet and word-processing software skills . Yet so many people never even give Excel a chance because it has an in timidating stigma around it.” \;\n \;\nSTRUCTURE OF COURSE \;\n Advanced functions and formulas \;\n * Logical functions \;\n * Conditional functions \;\n * Financial functions \;\n * Text functions \;\n * Date functions \;\n * Array form ulas \;\n \;\nLookups and data tables \;\n * Using lookup f unctions \;\n * Using MATCH and INDEX \;\n * Creating data tables \;\n \;\nAdvanced data management \;\n * Validating cell entries \;\n * Advanced filtering \;\n \;\nAdvanced c harting \;\n * Chart formatting options \;\n * Combination charts \;\n * Graphical objects \;\n \;\nPivotTables and P ivotCharts \;\n * Working with PivotTables \;\n * Rearrang ing PivotTables \;\n * Formatting PivotTables \;\n * Pivot Charts \;\n \;\nExporting and Importing Data \;\n * Exporti ng and importing text files \;\n * Getting external data \;\n& #13\;\nAnalytical Tools \;\n * Goal Seek \;\n * Scenarios& #13\;\n \;\nMacros and Visual Basic \;\n * Running and recordi ng a macro \;\n * Working with VBA code \;\n \;\nIf you wal k through the finance or accounting department at any major corporate of fice\, you will see computer screens filled with Excel spreadsheets outl ining financial results\, budgets\, forecasts\, and plans used to make b ig business decisions. Marketing and Product professionals using Excel t o list customer and sales targets\; managing thier sales force and plann ing future marketing plans based on past results. Pivot tables to quickl y and easily summarize customer and sales data by category with a quick drag-and drop. HR professionals using giant spreadsheets full of employe e data and understand exactly where the costs are coming from and how to best plan and control them for the future. Supply logistic professional to manage inventory and forecasts demand. \;\n \;\nIn essence\, y ou can turn an entire department around just because you know how to man ipulate data in order to get an aggregate view. \;\n \;\nABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR \;\nMartin Jetton has 30+ years of advanced supply chain analytics\, predictive analytics\, and statistical consulting experience . He's currently a Principal at the Liberty Advisor Group\, where he wor ks in advanced supply chain analytics. In his previous role\, he was the Senior Predictive Consultant at Corios\; where he developed predictive models and scorecards\, forecast trends\, identify uncertainties\, and a ssign the ideal strategies to maximize performance. The firm’s clients a re in the banking\, brokerage\, credit\, utilities and healthcare indust ries. \;\n \;\nBENEFITS \;\nMAKE YOUR RESUME STAND OUT \;\n& #13\;\nThey are NOT seeing if you simply have Excel as a skill. They are diving deeping when it comes to determining which candidate to intervie w and hire. They look for Pivot Table\, VLOOKUP\, Macros\, VBA\, Conditi onal Formatting\, Charting and Filtering…These are far more telling of y our ability to an employer then writing Excel. Someone who writes VLOOKU P\, Pivot Table\, Filtering demonstrates an ability to analyse data and so has eliminated a potential barrier in the mind of the hiring manager reviewing your resume.

It's a reflection on finding a job\, but told f rom the employer's perspective: exploring what actually differentiated s uccessful candidates from the rest\, why resume screening failed to surf ace the strongest candidates\, and what to look for in a successful cand idate. Along the way\, it offers concrete advice for everyone: how job s eekers can better present their experience\, approach take-home challeng es\, and prepare for interviews\; and how hiring managers can ask better questions\, design meaningful evaluations\, and reduce unnecessary pain in the process. Ultimately\, the talk aims not only to surface systemic problems in modern software engineer hiring\, but also to offer practic al guidance and cautious optimism for navigating (and surviving) the &qu ot\;paradox of plenty"\;. \;\n \;\nHeather Wilcox is excited t o follow with her talk titled Resume Tips and Tricks\, which will go fur ther in depth on how to write a resume that hiring managers will notice\ , along with other helpful hints for survival in the era of AI. As an ex perienced hiring manager and job seeker herself\, Heather has reviewed h undreds (maybe thousands?) of resumes. She can tell you that the AI and recruiter generated resumes are usually easy to spot and often treated w ith a certain amount of disdain and distrust. But\, at the same time\, y ou need your information to get past the AI screeners and into the hands of a real human. It's not an easy needle to thread\, but she's done it and so can you! \;\n \;\nSchedule (all times in PT): \;\n6-6:30 PM: Light refreshments (soft drinks\, pizza) and networking \;\n6:30 -7:30 PM: Talks/Presentation \;\n7:30-8 PM: Q&\;A and more network ing \;\n \;\nThanks to Trimble this month for lending us their spa ce for the evening!\n\nTags: Job\, career\, engineer\, networking\, publ ic speaking\, qa\, quality assurance\, software\, software quality\, sof tware testing\, tech\, technology\, test\, testing\n\nImported from: htt p://calagator.org/events/1250482436 URL:https://luma.com/9f10qhq7 SUMMARY:Get your resume seen!
