Magnet - A Different Kind Of Networking
UpStart Collective

What if the person who could further your career was already looking for you?

What if a room full of people knew exactly the insight you sought?

What if your knowledge could be someone else’s Eureka moment?

Welcome to Magnet. Where you can let your net...work.

Here's how it works. At the event, you write down on a sheet of paper something you need help with (aka "your ask") and tape it on the wall, for example:

I need a literary agent.

I need to chat with someone who has started a technology incubator.

I need to connect with someone at GOOD Magazine.

I need to hire a web developer capable of setting up a digital sales platform.

Does anyone have any contacts in Prague?

Does anyone know a good personal trainer?

Does anyone know how I can play a round at Augusta National Golf Club?

It can be anything!

Each sheet will have a unique number associated with it: (1, 2, 3, etc). You’ll have a name tag with that same number.

Everyone’s task will be to look at the board of opportunities and select at least 3 people you’d like to connect with, in whatever capacity.

How do you connect with them? You write your name and "sheet number" on a Post-It note and slap it on their sheet.

Donut Summit: Hack Oregon Project Season Kick Off
Falcon Building

Donut Summit: Hack Oregon Project Season Kick-Off

....Pretty much your standard Sunday donuts and coffee with artists, developers, data scientists, government, and business owners casually design thinking a better Oregon.

Oh yeah, plus all the data. NBD

Hack Oregon opens its doors twice a year to assemble interdisciplinary focus teams of volunteers to build open-data resources on important themes in Oregon. At the Summit we'll introduce new themes for projects and assemble teams. We won't be coding this afternoon, but it's a exciting space for cross-pollination between disciplines while we take the afternoon to collaborate, plan, and constructively brainstorm. Some of you will get started hacking soon, and others we'll see later as the project cycle progresses. Everyone is welcome, and we can't wait to meet you!

Themes

  • Housing
  • Budget
  • Transportation
  • Homelessness
  • Emergency Response

PS: Showing up to the Summit is not a commitment to volunteer, but fair warning, after you experience this you might just step through the looking glass and disappear into the data rabbit hole :)

Executive Assistant & Office Manager Mixer
Brix Tavern

Join us for our inaugural Happy Hour as we launch a new Executive Assistant/Office Manager community. We support every department in our organizations yet often times have no team to call our own. So while the Engineering, Product, Marketing, Finance teams hack, collaborate, and commiserate, we're left to fly solo. This got Barbie Minor (EA to CEO at Urban Airship) thinking. Why not form our own group to share best practices, brainstorm, and connect to a broader community? With the support of TAO, Brix Tavern, and Urban Airship, we're going to do just that - form our own crew! Looking forward to seeing you as we enjoy free appetizers, beer, and wine and start the conversation. Feel free to share this invitation with others in your immediate "Tech Network" who work in the EA/Office Manager capacity Happy Hour Details: When: Tuesday, July 15th Time: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM Where: Brix Tavern, 1338 NW Hoyt St, Portland, OR 97209 Cost: Free to attend but registration is required Appetizers and a drink ticket will be provided.

As global risks from climate change mount, organizations seek to conserve resources and take better care of the environment. Sustainability strategies realize corporate values, strengthen brands, attract environmentally conscious customers and employees, reduce resource expenditures and supply risks, and take advantage of government incentives. Green IT practices support sustainability strategies by reducing the use of hazardous materials, maximizing energy and natural resource efficiency, and promoting the use of recyclable and biodegradable materials. They are also essential to making major IT infrastructure investments cost-competitive.

Corban Lester, who develops Green IT projects for Ameresco, an international energy services firm, will introduce the business and technical aspects of IT sustainability, describe several successful initiatives, and take questions from the audience. IT planning, architecture and procurement professionals will learn the basics of envisioning, planning, justifying and evaluating sustainable IT practices.

"Cultural myths around income tax": Tax and Conversation weekly civics meetings
Collective Agency Downtown

There are some cultural myths around income tax. We'll talk through frequent questions, and see whether the fact-based answers are relevant. We'll start by choosing the 3-5 most relevant questions to us in view of a constitutional amendment for Oregon in 2014 on income tax reform.

Some questions include: "Why government?" "What about rich people?" "Doesn't the tax law need to be nuanced to incentivize people to work?" "Is this income tax reform political?" "How do we know we can we trust the tax reform to be good for everyone in Oregon?" (These are all real questions I've been asked which touch on core issues where the answer is not obvious.)

What would you like to learn? What are you concerned or excited about? Areas for questions will include tax, membership, and/or this organization (at least one of each).

Agenda 6-7pm Tues Nov 13: 1. Intro who we are, what we're working on. 2. Choose three or five questions, talk through, share perspectives, learn. 3. Review what did we like, what can be better next time.

RSVP: https://www.facebook.com/events/366214123469511/

“By simplifying income tax laws for people to have more equal lives, everyone will be more comfortable, able to live more humanly.”

"Vitriol & Violets" by Artists' Repertory Theatre
Scottish Rite Temple

Please come join me to see my pal Louanne Moldavan's lastest production for Artists' Repertory Theater, "Vitriol and Violets," a witty retelling of the sharp-tongued authors around of the Algonquin Circle, including Alexander Woollcott, Dorothy Parker, George S. Kaufman & Robert Benchley. Louanne is an old theatre pal of mine and we knew each other and performed in the same theatre company in Los Angeles. Louanne not only produced this piece, she co-wrote it and directed it, and it has new music by modern jazz legend Dave Frishberg. Bound to be an afternoon of biting wit. I'd like to put together a party of folk who want to go see it on its final afternoon matinee performance, Sunday, February 1st at 2 pm. The performance is held a block from the ART stage, at the Blue Room of the Scottish Rite Temple.
