Toasty: An Easy-to-use Object-Relational Mapping for Rust – Maseeh College of Engineering, Portland State University An object-relational mapping (ORM) is a layer that lets you work with a database using native types instead of writing queries directly. In Rust terms, an ORM maps tables to structs, rows to struct instances, and columns to fields, handling serialization, deserialization, and query construction for you. Toasty is an experimental new ORM for Rust that prioritizes ease of use. It supports both SQL databases as well as some NoSQL databases, including DynamoDB and Cassandra. Rather than hiding the database's capabilities, Toasty exposes features based on the target database. Carl Lerche, Toasty's designer, is also the original designer of the Tokio asynchronous runtime library. |

Reducing Overwhelm: A Reflective Workshop at the Art Museum – Portland Art Museum This 3-hour workshop uses the Portland Art Museum as a setting to slow down and look at how you think. It is designed for those feeling mentally overloaded or under sustained pressure who want a structured way to step back. We use the museum as a quiet, neutral environment to slow down observation. Using art as a shared reference point for reflection, we look at patterns of thinking without requiring personal disclosure or art knowledge. Advanced registration is required to keep the group size small. The exact meeting location within the museum will be sent upon registration. The Format: 90 minutes in the museum: Moving through galleries using simple observation prompts. 90 minutes of conversation: A facilitated discussion afterward at a nearby coffee shop to talk about what resonated and why. Follow-up: Includes an optional one-hour Zoom check-in two weeks later. Cost: $85. Note: Museum admission is $27.50, paid directly to the museum (free for members). Facilitator: Ryan has worked in the arts for over 20 years and serves as a business coach and mentor. This workshop uses art as a practical tool to create perspective on how we think and work. Venue: Portland Art Museum 1219 SW Park Ave, Portland, OR 97205 Tags: workshop, mental-health, wellness, professional-development, art |

Portland Accessibility and User Experience Meetup (PDX A11Y UX) - Tiny CSS, Big Impact [virtual] – Online TopicThis talk explores the incredible power of tiny CSS snippets that create big accessibility improvements, proving that sometimes the most impactful code is measured in lines, not libraries. We'll dive deep into practical, copy-paste-ready CSS solutions that require minimal implementation time but deliver maximum inclusivity. Each snippet comes with real-world context, showing exactly how these small changes impact actual users. AgendaThe event begins at 6 pm; join early, starting at 5:45 pm for networking.
About the presenterMike Mai is an expert in design systems, web accessibility, HTML/CSS, and typography. His design philosophy is rooted in a fundamental understanding of the web. Mike's passion for typography, cultivated during my BFA in Graphic Design at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, directly informed my decision to pursue web design professionally. He considers typography to be the most critical foundation of any website, given its text-centric nature, making typeface selection and typesetting my first order of business on any new projects. Mike firmly believes that design is about solving problems, a principle instilled by a formative mentor. This conviction drove his path to specializing in accessible web design. While strong typographic forms are important, they must be balanced with robust function and an intuitive user experience. He is committed to ensuring all his designs are usable, useful, and truly inclusive. RSVPPlease RSVP for the Zoom link: Accommodation requestsIf you have any accommodation requests, don't hesitate to get in touch with us before the event to discuss. |

Legendary Lunch #2 Two Talks + Unconference for People in Transition @ Nedspace – NedSpace Legendary Lunch #2 is where unexpectedly unemployed professionals and early-stage entrepreneurs meet each other at the moment when plans are still forming. This is not a motivational event and not a career wake. It’s real people in real space having honest conversations about what comes next. We believe opportunity still moves through people in rooms, not platforms and feeds. Legendary Lunch is designed as an open field of possibility at human scale: you show up willing to share what you’re trying to figure out next or who and what you’re seeking and the room helps you move. What to expectNetworking-first (you’ll meet people quickly, without awkward “so what do you do?” loops) Two short talks to give the room shared context An unconference where attendees shape the sessions, discussions, and collaborations Who it’s forUnexpectedly unemployed professionals Early-stage entrepreneurs, builders, and operators Anyone in a career transition who wants clarity, collaborators, or the next door to knock on What to bringYou don’t need a pitch or a polished plan. Bring one of these: What you’re trying to figure out next Who/what you’re seeking (a role, a person, a collaborator, a resource) If you’re willing to help and willing to ask for help, you’ll fit right in. Agenda / schedule12:00 PM – 1:00 PM | Lunch Session (Two 30-minute talks) Surj Patel: What’s Ahead for AI in 2026 Shashi Jain: English Is the New Programming Language 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM | Unconference + Open Networking + Collaboration Featured unconference sessionTown Hall: The Employment Environment (Layoffs + what’s next) Hosted by Kristin Wolff, a policy analyst who has worked with the Department of Labor.

January Cloud Native PDX Meetup: Observability, Kubernetes, and the Beginner’s Journey – Reperio Health Let’s kick off 2025 with another great evening of cloud-native learning, real-world talks, and hallway conversations with Portland’s platform-engineering community. Date: Thursday, January 22 Time: 5:30–7:30 PM Location: Reperio Health, 4784 SE 17th Ave Suite 120, Portland, OR Recording: Talks are typically recorded (opt-in by speakers) The Observability Reset: 4 Foundational Principles for O11y That Scales by Noam Levy, CTO at groundcover Let’s face it, collecting metrics, logs, and traces isn’t enough anymore. Most o11y stacks today are drowning in telemetry, buried in cost overruns, and spread so thin across tools that they’ve become more noise than signal. The classic SaaS-based model is cracking. This talk lays out 4 foundational principles for building a sustainable observability posture - that scale with infra and budget:
This session pulls from real-world deployments and lessons learned helping engineering teams scale visibility without compromise. #“What It’s Like to Learn Cloud-Native Today — A Beginner’s Kubernetes Story” by Kelis Hightower When given the chance to explore cloud-native development, I chose not to avoid the unfamiliar. With no prior Kubernetes experience and only a few weeks to learn, I took a hands-on approach by building a small burnout-aware study tool to ground abstract concepts in something tangible. This talk shares what it’s like to learn cloud-native technologies today from a beginner’s perspective. Through experimentation with containers, Kubernetes, and cloud services, I’ll reflect on the mental model shifts, early misconceptions, and “aha” moments that emerged from learning by building. Rather than focusing on expertise, this would offer an honest look at what beginners actually take away from a short, modern introduction to cloud-native systems. Agenda5:30–6:00 — Check-in, snacks, networking 6:00–6:30 — The Observability Reset (Noam Levy) 6:30–7:00 — Beginner’s Kubernetes Story (Kelis Hightower) 7:00–7:30 — Networking (and games if anyone wants to bring some!) Who Should AttendPlatform engineers, SREs, DevOps, app/platform teams, OSS maintainers, beginners learning cloud-native, and anyone curious about observability, Kubernetes, modern infra, or developer experience.

Ephemeral by Design – Virtual Portland Design Thinkers are excited to welcome Leksi Kostur, Ephemeral by Design. This talk explores the role of biodegradable materials in the future of design. Drawing from work in festivals, weddings, and funerary contexts, Leksi examines design situations where short-lived and single-use objects are not failures, but appropriate and even advantageous choices. Rather than positioning biodegradability as a universal solution, she focuses on material logic and circular design practices, aligning purpose with lifespan. She also looks at whimsy, imagination, and references to nature as intentional design choices, framing optimism as a designer’s responsibility at a time when environmental fatigue and resignation are widespread. Designing with nature becomes a way to counter eco-nihilism and imagine more regenerative futures |
