    Portland C++ User's Group (PDXCPP)

    Writing an operating system, an autonomous multi-agent system, video game, or hacking on a Raspberry Pi? Stuck on a problem and need another point of view? Perhaps you know C++ and would like to interact with others who also have experience with the language?

    Meet up with other C++ programmers to learn, share, and develop tips and tricks of the trade, find out what local C++ projects are happening, and especially to better understand modern C++! All experience levels are welcome: You aren't alone on your C++ journey!

    Our group is different than some others in that we focus on "modern" C++. We discuss many aspects of the current-- or even future-- C++ standards.

    Elixir Hack, Help, or Get Help

    The Portland Elixir/BEAM group is getting back together in the physical world.

    Hack and Help Night Expectations

    Hack and help nights are you opportunity to meet other people interested in Elixir or other BEAM-based languages in the real world. You can be a total newbie or just have interest in some of the ideas it brings.

    Some free food and drink will be provided courtesy of sponsors.

    You should try to attend if you:

    Are new to Elixir and want to see what it's all about.

    Need help with something you're working on or an idea you have.

    You like listening and helping others, or just want to motivate people.

    Want access to some hardware, electronics and sensors to play around with Nerves on.

    Want to discuss the latest happenings in the community.

    Need somewhere away from home to work on a project.

    Just want something social to do.

    We're still trying to lock in the venue for the in-person events and venues may change over time, as might the rules regarding masking depending on peoples' comfort level.

    For the most part, the mask rules will follow the same restrictions as the venue and will evolve based on current trends of the virus and feedback from the community. If you're interacting with or sitting next to someone, and they would prefer for you to also be masked while nearby, please be considerate of their request.

    Sponsorship

    If you or a company you work for would like to host an event, or sponsor food, beverages or venue costs, please let me know! (see Event Coordinator Contact below).

    Future Meeting Cadence

    We'll be switching to the following format moving forward:

    Last Tuesday of the month remains a virtual-only event, combining both the Portland and Seattle groups and anybody else who would like to join us virtually. This event has been mostly a "demos on demand" during the pandemic but will start to move back toward a 50/50 split with a pre-announced presentation for part of the event. If you have something you'd like to talk about, let the event coordinator know (see Event Coordinator Contact below). Future event dates will be: Jun 28, Jul 26, Aug 30, and Sep 27.

    Two weeks before the meeting on the last Tuesday (third from last Tuesday), will be an in-person hack and help night in Seattle. Future event dates will be: Jun 14, Jul 12, Aug 16, and Sep 13.

    The following night after the Seattle hack night will be an in-person hack and help night in Portland. Future event dates will be: Jun 15, Jul 13, Aug 17, and Sep 14.

    Out of the Box Network Developer Meet Up - Reality of SDN, Container Networking, and Server Networking Technologies

    In this meet up we will talk about the different Buzz words in NFV and SDN space. What is SDN and the role it plays in networking. How do Containers fit into the whole space, and why is everyone so interested in containers? Lastly we will talk about how knowing about hardware and how to utilize the hardware functionality helps accelerate the functionality of VNFs in the OpenStack environment.

    First talk begins at 5:30PM.

    Talk 1: What is SDN really?

    Software Defined Networking (SDN) is the hot topic in networking. There are many projects and products all claiming to be SDN, so what is it really? Why does SDN matter? and what is happening in the resurgent networking space?

    About the speaker: Stephen Hemminger is a Linux developer who specializes in networking. He has worked for Linux Foundation, Brocade (Vyatta) and now Microsoft. As maintainer of the Linux bridging and the iproute2 utilities, he contributes regularly to the Linux kernel and DPDK projects. Having been involved with TCP/IP since the early days of UNIX, he is quite familiar with the congestion and SMP issues. Steve works on so integrating so many different networking pieces that he decided to give himself the title of Network Plumber.

    Talk 2: Container networking

    First virtual machines and now containers? What are containers, anyway? We’ll discuss what a container is, how it’s different from a virtual machine and then explore configuration options for networking in a container world. We’ll also go over some basic ways of putting containers together into applications and how to make Linux namespaces work for you.

    About the speaker: Kevin Bohan is a software architect in the Network Platforms Group at Intel. He spends most of his time working on performance optimization of network virtualization technologies being utilized in the telecommunications industry. Prior to Intel, he worked in academia in the areas of advanced networking, supercomputing and embedded systems.

    Talk 3: Server Networking for the Curious

    Confused about the differences in server-based networking technologies? Maybe you’ve heard or read about DPDK, or FD.io VPP, or other technologies, but the bigger picture is hard to see. We’ll walk through a short survey of some of the most important and useful packet-processing tools, both in hardware and in open source, and why you might be interested in them.

    About the speaker: Jim Chamings is a Sr. Software Engineer at Intel, working in the Datacenter Scale Engineering team. His focus is on enabling Cloud and SDN/NFV developers to get the maximum value out of their datacenters

    Intro to Solutions Thinking for Product Managers

    Product managers and product teams face unprecedented challenges as business environments and product ecosystems become increasingly complex and unpredictable.

    Customers have tremendous freedom to choose among competing products, and user experience has become a big factor in many purchase decisions. Time-to-market pressure is unrelenting, while product complexity and technical challenges keep increasing. In this environment, businesses must offer solutions that solve the right problem for the right consumer at the right time and the right price.

    Solutions Thinking offers a fresh look at how to develop holistic solutions for customer problems. Solutions Thinking helps teams balance business, usage, and technology to create a compelling and sustainable set of products and services to meet the customer’s current and future needs. Solutions Thinking helps teams go from opportunities to solutions using a value-driven approach, and works with traditional, Agile, and hybrid development life cycles.

    Many teams just focus on making products when they should be thinking about developing solutions. Solutions Thinking blends a unique collection of proven industry models into a coherent methodology for solution development. The approach is specifically designed to work in complex environments.

    *This is a free, one-hour introduction to Solutions Thinking, which is typically a day-long workshop. We will not have time to cover topics in depth. After an overview of the topics, there will be time for a deeper dive into one additional module based on participant preferences. If you would like to participate in the day-long workshop on February 21st, please make a reservation here. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/solutions-thinking-for-product-managers-tickets-30741063348

    Who typically attends? Product managers, Product owners, product planners, product marketing, architects, designers, product engineers, and others working on holistic solution discovery, definition, design, and delivery.

    Refresh Portland — Ladies Drawing Night, November 2016

    Refresh Portland is proud to sponsor Ladies Drawing Night! While a lot of people who attend Refresh events come for the technical and soft skills related to our jobs in tech, this drawing night is for those of you who create art and do it in addition to (or as a salve to) life in tech.

    The event is limited to 8 participants so that we can have good conversations and share ideas on our art without navigating 50 people in the room. Bring whatever you are working on. We’ll have table space for working, but bring the supplies that you’ll need.

    Refresh Portland will buy the first round of drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic)!

    As the title states, this event is for women only. If you have any questions, please get in touch.

    Our Host, Susan Robertson

    Susan is one of the co-organizers of Refresh Portland. She realized there was a desire for women to get together for some non-tech art creation and had a pilot meetup in the summer of 2016. It went well enough that Ladies Drawing Night is being added to the regular monthly programming for Refresh.

    Microsoft Flow hackaton

    Microsoft has a tool in preview called "Flow" - you should check it out: https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/ in theory this tool will eventually roll out to Office 365 users and be an end-user option for creating simple workflow and systems integration beyond the SharePoint workflow platform. For example, maybe you want a Tweet to be logged in CRM then have a task show up in Slack - Flow might be a solution here.

    But, how does it work? How easy is it to use? Is this a replacement for SharePoint Workflow? Is this a potential enterprise tool that will put Nintex or K2 out of business?

    In initial research, lots of the Portland SharePoint community had trouble getting their Flow to work correctly, but there must be some way to do it! Let's uncover these things together. At this casual meeting we'll be doing group R&D around Flow. Bring your laptop and sign up for the Flow trial.

    Rust Hack Session

    This is intended as a general-purpose hack session where folks with a little more experience writing/using Rust or who have an open source project or two that could use new contributors are encouraged to invite newcomers to hack-a-long for a few hours. There will be no specific topic or presentation, just a bunch of nerds nerding out on a (presumably) rainy Saturday afternoon.

    Just to be clear, this is intended for all levels of programming/rust experience:

    • Folks with more experience will benefit by possibly gaining new contributors for their projects.
    • Folks with little/no experience will benefit from direct guidance working on a specific feature/bug in an existing project.

    Recommendations for those with projects in mind:

    Since we are asking that some of you come prepared with a project or two in mind that could benefit from additional contributors, the following will help:

    • Post a comment on this [meetup.com] event with a link to the open source repository that you would like to invite people to work on.
    • Create a list of issues that your project(s) could use help on. If you use Github as a project management tool, a github issue for each bug/feature/improvement you have in mind would be immensely helpful as a way to establish continuity between you and your new contributors after this meetup.
    • Keep in mind the varying levels of skill/experience other folks might have and be prepared to offer some relatively low-hanging fruit in addition to more difficult tasks.

    Also, don't let your lack of experience with programming/rust or lack of ownership over a particular project prevent you from proposing a project to work on...I personally have very little Rust experience and no projects of my own but know of a couple projects that could benefit from new contributors!

    Lucky Labrador Brew Pub

    Daniel Hedland of CrowdCompass will be leading April's meeting.

    Learn more about how Unix shells compose simple programs to solve complex tasks and how these processes interact with each other under the hood. We will discuss how Unix processes behave compared with standard Erlang and Elixir processes and how the Erlang VM could be used to emulate common patterns found in the Unix shell.

    A very basic REPL will be provided to play around with some of these ideas. After the discussion, we will break out into groups to try to re-implement some common Unix commands in your favorite ErlangVM-based language and then use shell composition to solve a set of everyday problems.

    Rails Bridge Organizers meeting II: Progress

    Note: Several people have brought up that having conversations on meetup is difficult and I'm inclined to agree. It would also be nice to have a place to discuss things about organizing without confusing people who just want to learn. So I've set up a google group for organizing discussions. We'll continue to post organizers meetups here so everyone has a chance to get involved. 

    You can view the notes from the previous meetup here

    This meetup will be to discuss our progress towards our first RailsBridge Workshop on Dec 12-13 at Epicodus. 

    Please feel free to attend if you couldn't make it out for the first meetup. We still need lots of people for different roles, if you're interested in helping send me an email at amypivo at gmail. You don't need any previous experience and I am happy to help anyone get started.

    Mobile Workgroup Weekly Meeting At:

    Lucky Lab 915 SE Hawthorne Blvd. Portland, OR 97214 Phone: 503-236-3555

    6-9 pm Thursday Feb 21st

    A weekly workgroup for Engineers working on personal mobile projects.

    Beginners are encouraged to attend.

    We welcome software and hardware Engineers working on Android, iOS, and all mobile platforms.

    Working on projects by yourself can be difficult because don't get the feedback or interaction you get in an office environment. Online sites such as stackoverflow.com are great resources for answering well defined questions, but don't have the benefits of personal interactions. When you are part of a community you get to know others with similar interests, get an immediate response to hard to describe problems, bounce ideas off of others, and learn by example. The PDX Mobile Workgroup is designed to fill the void for engineers who would otherwise work on their projects in relative isolation from other engineers.

    The group is informal. Once a week we sit around, talk, have a bite to eat, and work on our personal projects. There is no set schedule. Attendees stop by at various times after work and stay as long as they like.

    We do require at least 2 confirmed attendees. If you don't RSVP and just show, you will want to check the group site before traveling to be sure the meeting is happening.

    To RSVP, visit the website listed and leave a note that you will be attending.

    Cleanweb PDX Meetup: Monthly Hack, Eat & Drink

    At this monthly meeting, we get together, talk about app ideas for one or two industry (such as sporting apparel, commercial building, food, water, etc). These are the local industry that can use some help to identify solutions to reduce carbon footprint and lessen any negative environmental impact to local residents.

    Our goal is to brainstorm innovative ideas utilizing information technology by leveraging the mobile and social web.

    Of course, creative juice often comes after a glass of nice brew. That's how drink is involved in this. If you not a drinker, the Pub serves good food of you to hack & eat.

    We are not really building an app at the meeting (but if you would like to crank out an app in 90 mins, that would be awesome too). And what are we doing with these ideas? You'll have to come to find out.

    For those who won't be able to make it in person you can join via G+ Hangout. Please let me know in advance.

    Thanks and hope to see you on the 15th!

    PDXDrones - Developing for Drones

    The weather in Portland this time of year is fairly, let's say, unreliable. So December's event will focus on Drone Development, in other words the stuff that makes these things fly.

    Are you working on code or components that will let your Drone fly farther, faster, longer, or take on new missions and capabilities? This month's meeting will be dedicated to hearing and sharing our development projects, as well as those others around the country and the world are working on.

    This month's event will happen December 12, at 6pm. Location Lucky Labrador Brew Pub. Please RSVP on Plancast if you'll be able to make it! (It's Wednesday because of some Holiday party conflicts on Thursday)

    Personal Telco Project Monthly Meeting

    Personal Telco is a collection of individuals, businesses, and organizations who share -- or plan to share -- internet connectivity rather than hoard it. It's also a group of volunteers who want this network to grow. We believe internet access should be available, fair, and uncensored. Personal Telco Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in PDX.

    Whether you're a technology wizard or technically incompetent, volunteering with us is a great way to learn something new, enjoy teaching others, or use your skills to do something useful!

    Our monthly meetings are usually slightly bigger than weeklies; everyone is welcome, come to learn, teach, and play!

    Portland Perl Mongers -- "Last of the 2nd Wednesdays" Social

    Lucky Labrador Brew Pub

    Note the (temporary) location change. This is possibly the last of the meetings on 2nd Wednesdays and a break from Free Geek while we figure out the keys/space issues.

    We'll be discussing all things Perl and generally socializing in or near some tasty beverages. If you are new, look for the pdx.pm t-shirts[1].

    Feel free to bring a laptop if you have some code or Perl questions to share or work on. (Or if you have no laptop, just bring the code/url.) I would also like to hear your ideas and proposals for future meeting topics and presentations.

    The other meeting was last Thursday (Sept 8th), also at the Lucky Lab, where we began voting on whether to move the meeting to 2nd Thursdays. You get one vote for each time you show up (vote for both days or one twice.)

    Rumor has it that the classroom at Free Geek is being redone into rows of desks with a whiteboard and projector -- which makes 2nd Wednesdays more viable, though the meeting room might still be a better space for us.

    [1] My shirt is often purple. There was talk on irc.perl.org/#pdx.pm of getting a '$_' bat-signal to shine on the ceiling, but no volunteer yet.

    I will bring a few gadgets and devices that people can play with:a fitbit, the zeo, the bodymedia armband, the emwave2 heartrate variability gadget.

    I can talk about the various apps and services that I use or like: fitbit, zeo, 750words.com, healthmonth.com, quantter.com,gottafeeling app on the iphone, runkeeper, etc...

    Also, tentatively, if the time works, Aaron Parecki @aaronpk from Geoloqi.com is going to talk about his self trackingexperiments using Geoloqi.

    If we get a lot of people interested, I can look for a differentvenue than Lucky Lab. Any ideas?

    Pacific Northwest Parrot Developers Gathering/Hackathon
    ruby python beer

    Parrot developers have reserved a room for the above times to meet face-to-face to talk about and hack on Parrot Virtual Machine!

    The first few hours of the meeting will concentrate on people already involved in Parrot, to talk about which goals Parrot wants to achieve and what people will focus on in the future. Some members of the Board of Directors of Parrot Foundation will be present, and hopefully any local developers that are already involved with Parrot in some way.

    The latter half of the time slot will be focused towards new users and people interested in learning more about Parrot. Some Parrot developers will hack on their Parrot-related projects, while others will work with those who are new to Parrot, to orient them and discuss what roles they can play in the Parrot community and/or what things need hacking on.

    Hacking and schmoozing will probably continue after 5pm, but that is when our reserved space ends.

    Facebook for Nonprofit Organizations

    Lucky Labrador Brew Pub

    Maybe your organization has already taken the Facebook plunge. Or, perhaps it's about to. Either way, building a Facebook presence for your nonprofit requires a whole lot more than the simple "build it and they will come" approach.

    Join us for this month's PDXTech4Good meetup where we'll delve into the details of cultivating, managing and growing your organization's Facebook presence. Together, we'll explore topics ranging from engagement strategies and metrics to page administration and policies.

    Barbara Baugnon, with the Oregon Humane Society, will open the discussion with a case study of the Oregon Human Society's Facebook page and their engagement strategies.

    Agenda: 5:30 - Networking 6:00 - Facebook Page Case Study by Barbara Baugnon 6:30 - 7:15 Group Discussion 7:15-7:30 Networking

    About Barbara: After working in advertising agencies in Los Angles, New York and Portland for 15 years, Barbara took a job as a Marketing Communications Director at the Oregon Humane Society (OHS).

    Brian Panulla will present "Goodbye, Semantic HTML - Retraining Your Web Standards Brain"

    The Web Standards movement pushed us to banish non-semantic presentational markup from our HTML. As a result, we struggled over meaningless decisions - should I use a list or a table? NO TABLE BAD!

    It's time to rethink what we mean be semantics in our markup. The new W3C standard RDFa (RDF in Attributes) can make our lives as Web and technology professionals easier and more sensible, without angst over whether or not to use tables.

    PDXTech4Good May Meetup

    Lucky Labrador Brew Pub

    At last, we have confirmed a May Meetup topic!
    Constituent Relationship Management Systems or Databases!

    A good system for managing your clients, constituents, donors, and/or volunteers will ease your troubles away! Well...we're not sure that any database can be completely pain-free, there are some good solutions available for nonprofits but before a tool is decided upon, some essential questions must be asked. Join us on May 25, when Tompkins Spann will talk unbiased on how to determine your nonprofits' needs for data management and what you need to evaluate when choosing a CRM or database.

    Then, you will have the opportunity to talk to Tompkins and others (we invite you to attend if you have a CRM solution to talk up!) about specific solutions and how they might integrate into your nonprofit's work flow.

    We are proud to be bringing you this meetup in collaboration with the Portland Nonprofit Salesforce Users Group and Convio.

    ..............................................................................................................................


    Tompkins is the Sr. Market Strategist for Convio focused exclusively on the Common Ground product, Convio’s CRM solution for nonprofits. He has worked for Convio (and formerly) GetActive for more than 5 years in various roles, from account services to product marketing. His experience working with nonprofits began when he exited the Peace Corps in 2000 to create his own 501c3. He then began working for a large advocacy-based organization in DC serving as the lead on all technology projects ranging from website strategy to database development. Tompkins has a passion for nonprofit-tech and truly enjoys helping organizations pick the right solutions and apply the right strategies to help further their mission.

Go to http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=t4p98cYbnkSe0mpX9E4Zyg_3d_3d to nominate an organization. Nominations will be posted to a wiki so we can all acknowledge the wonderful good our PDX organizations are achieving with technology.

    PDX 501 Tech Club: eNonprofit Benchmarks Study Discussion

    Lucky Labrador Brew Pub

    Ever wonder how your email list stacks up against other nonprofits?

    M+R Strategic Services and NTEN released a new eNonprofit Benchmarks Study for 2009 (Download the report at http://www.e-benchmarksstudy.com/2009.html). We've analyzed online messaging, fundraising, and advocacy data from 32 leading nonprofit organizations to provide you with reliable new data, answering questions like:

    * How is the financial crisis affecting online fundraising?
    * How do my targeted emails, appeals to non-donors, phone call alerts, and more compare to those of other nonprofits?
    * For state-based or local groups, what's a good email response rate
    

    Karen Matheson, M+R Strategic Services will cover key findings on fundraising and advocacy metrics, explore what the data tells us about industry-wide changes, provide key metrics to analyze your organization's online program and take questions about the study and nonprofit online metrics.

    She will also offer up real-world advice and research-based best practices for communicating effectively with your membership, helping maintain and develop supporters, build relationships, and sharing your story.

    Agenda: 5:30 Networking

    6:00 Presentation with Q/A

    7:00 More Networking

    Karen Matheson is the Manager of Quantitative Research and Analysis at M+R Strategic Services and provides strategic data analysis for a range of M+R's eCampaigns clients, including the Human Rights Campaign, Oxfam America, and Susan G. Komen for the Cure. With a B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Oregon and graduate coursework in statistics and analysis, Karen has a strong quantitative research background. In addition to co-authoring M+R and NTEN's eNonprofit Benchmarks Study (www.e-benchmarksstudy.com), Karen regularly researches and co-authors articles about best online communications strategies using data from several national nonprofits.

    The Portland CocoaHeads group is devoted to discussion of Apple's Cocoa Framework for programming on Mac OS X. During monthly meetings, members present on their projects and offer tutorials on various programming topics. Developers using any Cocoa-related language (Objective-C, Python, Ruby, etc.) are welcome, as well as related platforms like iPhone.

      Meetings are on the last Wednesday of the month at 7pm.
    
      NOTE: Since we've lost our former meeting space (CubeSpace), we will be meeting at Lucky Lab.  We hope to find a new meeting space where the following paragraph will hold true again.
    
      WHAT WE USUALLY DO: We'll go around the table to introduce ourselves and mention what we're working on or what we're interested in. Then, the floor will be open to anyone with a 10-minute demo or presentation topic. We'll also have a general Q&A discussion. A projector and wifi will be available.
