Come prepared to listen to an agile executive talk about why agile is the best way to drive an org anization to thrive. \;\n \;\nAs Lawler says on his blog\, “I love Agile\; I also hate Agile. I love how it can free teams to truly delig ht customers while delivering high quality products on time. I hate how Agile zealots can use the Tower of Agile Babble to confuse the heck out of teams trying Agile on for size. My goal is to help new teams actual ly embrace and become Agile without having to learn all of the pomp and circumstance in one big fat swallow.” \;\n \;\nMark Lawler is the VP and Chief Technology Officer of Cambia Health Solutions\, responsible for transformative IT strategies\, technologies and efforts for its por tfolio companies.

Yet object-oriented development princip les and TDD have failed to gain traction in the database world. That’s b ecause database development involves an additional driving force—the dat a. \;\n \;\nMax Guernsey shows how to treat databases as objects with classes of their own—rather than as containers of objects—and how t o drive database designs from tests. He illustrates a way to give these database classes the ability to upgrade old data without introducing und ue risk. Max also shares how to apply good object-oriented design princi ples to database classes and how to enforce semantic connections between databases and clients. Max demonstrates how it all works together\, ens uring that your production databases work exactly the same as test datab ases\, minimizing the risk of design changes\, and enabling client appli cations to more easily keep up with database changes. \;\n \;\nCom e for pizza &\; networking from 6:30pm. The program starts at 7:00 pm . \;\n \;\n__Speaker Bio__ \;\nMax Guernsey is currently a Man aging Member at Hexagon Software LLC. He has 15 years of experience as a professional software developer. For nearly half that time\, he has bee n blogging\, writing\, and delivering lectures on the topic of agile and test-driven database development. For much of Max’s professional career \, he has been a consultant\, advising a variety of software companies i n many different industries using multiple programming and database tech nologies. In most of these engagements\, he spent months or even years h elping teams implement cutting-edge techniques such as test-driven devel opment\, object-oriented design\, acceptance-test-driven development\, a nd agile planning. \;\n \;\nMax has always been a “hands-on” consu ltant\, working with teams for long periods of time to help them build b oth software and skills. This series of diverse\, yet deep\, engagements helped him gain a unique understanding of the database-related testing and design problems that impede most agile teams. Since 2005\, he has be en thinking\, writing\, blogging\, lecturing\, and creating developer-fa cing software dedicated to resolving these issues. \;\n \;\nMax po sts regularly on his Twitter account (@MaxGuernseyIII) and his blog (max g3prog.blogspot.com).\n\nTags: agile\, software development\, tdd\, pear l\, it\, agilepdx\, Information Technology\, Portland downtown\n\nImport ed from: http://calagator.org/events/1250463707 URL:http://agilepdx.org SUMMARY:Agile PDX presents Max Guernsey\, "Test-Driven Database Developme nt" LOCATION:Puppet: 308 SW 2nd Ave Fifth Floor\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130411T171546Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130416T230000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130416T203000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130411T171546Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130411T171546Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250464012 DESCRIPTION: \;\nOpenStack Summit Party \;\n \;\nPuppet Labs \;\n \;\nTuesday\, April 16\, 2013 from 8:30 PM to 11:00 PM (PDT) \;\n \;\nPortland\, OR\n\nTags: party\, puppet\, opensource\, pdx\, o penstack\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250464012 URL:http://puppetlabsopenstackparty.eventbrite.com SUMMARY:OpenStack Summit Party LOCATION:Puppet: 308 SW 2nd Ave Fifth Floor\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130402T175415Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130417T201500 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130417T183000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130402T175415Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130402T175415Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250463952 DESCRIPTION:What do a 17th century painter’s workshop\, an international photographic cooperative\, and an early 20th century design house have i n common with a modern software development team?

It seems li ke the same old thing but with all of the names changed. Why do they do that? \;\n \;\nIt helps us get unstuck. That's the short answer. E ach generation brings with it unfamiliar capabilities. It takes serious effort to find application for those capabilities and hiding the good st uff among the familiar just makes doing new things harder. \;\n \; \nIn this presentation I'll describe my own lurch forward over the last two years. The web\, which has been stuck in its own way\, has busted fr ee. Its a great time to try something new. Some of this is technology\, some methodology\, and some community. All of it impresses me. Let me te ll you why it's important. \;\n \;\nBio: Ward Cunningham made the first wiki 18 years ago to host the conversation that became agile softw are developments. Now\, two years into developing a truly modern wiki he finds that he must approach programming a completely different way. \;\n \;\nThis event is free and is at Puppet Labs. It begins at 6:30 pm with pizza\, sponsored by PNSQC (Many thanks to both Puppet Labs and PNSQC for supporting agile in Portland). \;\n \;\nThe program sta rts at 7:00 pm. \;\n \;\nAfter the program you're invited to join us for a no-host gathering at a nearby brewpub for further discussion.&# 13\;\n \;\n \;\n\n\nTags: agilepdx\, agile\n\nImported from: http: //calagator.org/events/1250464438 URL:http://www.agilepdx.org SUMMARY:Agile PDX Evening: [Ward Cunningham] On Getting Current in the Ne w Web World LOCATION:Puppet: 308 SW 2nd Ave Fifth Floor\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:5 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130902T233138Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130919T203000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130919T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130902T233138Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130902T233138Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250464795 DESCRIPTION:Tracking your mood with your smartphone? Recording your worko uts\, diet and/or weight? Using a Fitbit\, Withings scale\, or heart-rat e monitor? \;\nQuantified Self is "\;self-knowledge through num bers"\; and we want to hear your self-tracking stories! Sign up to g ive a talk. Our content comes from our community. Show us your graphs\, spreadsheets\, biometric devices\, practical solutions and crazy notions . They are all welcome. We focus on real self-tracking projects involvin g your personal data. \;\n \;\nOr just bring your enthusiasm and c ome to marvel and learn with us. Sharing is not required if you're just curious to see what this is about! \;\n \;\n \;\nAgenda: \ ;\n \;\n• 6 to 6:30 pm: Doors open. Social time. This is an opportuni ty to meet other self-trackers and catch up with friends. \;\n \;\ n• 6:30 to 7 pm: Group Mind. Do you have a tool that you’re working on\, or a self-tracking idea that you want feedback on? The format for Group Mind is 2.5 minutes to talk about your question\, project\, issue\, pro posal or challenge and 2.5 minutes to solicit ideas and brainstorming fr om our members. It is a great way to kick-start or problem-solve your QS issue. You’ll be able to sign up to participate on the day of the event . \;\n \;\n• 7 to 8 pm: Scheduled Show &\; Tell talks. These ar e 7 minute talks with 5 minutes for questions. This is the meat &\; p otatoes of QS meetups. This is an opportunity to share your story with y our peers. Please contact us in advance if you want to give one. \;\n \;\n• 8 to 8:30 pm: Walk-on Show &\; Tell talks. These are 5 minu tes with time for a couple questions. They are signed up for on the day of the event\, using a sheet at the welcome table. We’ll go through as m any as we can\, time permitting. \;\n \;\n• 8:30 pm onward: The di scussion continues over drinks at a pub to-be-named later! This is a goo d opportunity to talk with presenters or follow-up on an issue that came up in the Group Mind. If you can join us\, I very much encourage you to do so. Not only is it good fun\, but the conversations are invigorating . \;\n \;\nIf you're interested in doing a Show &\; Tell\, plea se mention it in your RSVP or email the organizers in advance. If we hea r from you before the meetup\, you’ll have a little more time and be gua ranteed to talk. You can also sign up on the day of the event as a walk- on. \;\n \;\nA note if you plan on presenting: don’t think that th is needs to be a TED Talk. We call it Show &\; Tell for a reason. Thi s is just like first grade. All you have to do is come up\, show us some thing and tell us about it. You can use slides if you want\, but it is n ot required. \;\n \;\nOne thing that will help with your talk is t o structure it around these three questions: What did you do? How did yo u do it? What did you learn? Remember\, sharing is important and valuab le even if you share your failures - you never know when someone else wi ll be trying the same thing and you can help them avoid the mistakes tha t you made! We want to hear your personal stories\, and that means real ly human things like struggling with motivation\, experiencing setbacks\ , and hopefully\, every so often\, having a flash of insight! Keep it in formal. Keep it honest. You're in a safe place. \;\n \;\nIt helps to watch videos of previous QS talks. This link explains why these thre e questions make for a good talk. \;\n \;\nFinally\, thanks to our friends at PuppetLabs for providing the space.

PGE’s IT uses these to support six internal lines of business with their project and production suppor t needs. PGE started the agile journey in 2009 in aid of a large scale m ulti-project initiative to roll-out network read meters for our customer s. Over the subsequent four and half years\, that experience was extende d into where PGE’s IT delivery is today. Scaling to the enterprise requi red the synthesis of many different viewpoints\, overcoming the deficien cies of agile training as applied in larger circumstances\, and fabricat ing new processes and tools to enhance and manage the value of delivery. During this talk Mark will share highlights of what was valuable\, what was a struggle\, what he would do the same if starting over\, and what he would do differently. \;\n \;\nBio: Mark Menger is a passionate leader in the adoption of Scrum at Portland General Electric\, believin g strongly in the underpinning concepts of servant leadership and self-o rganization. He led four Scrum teams and the enterprise architecture fun ction of PGE’s multi-million dollar Automated Metering Infrastructure in itiative. As the supervisor of Application Delivery Services\, he is cur rently scaling PGE’s adoption of Agile software delivery to 14 teams acr oss six business client functions. This effort includes business client relationship development\, and improvements in quality assurance and eng ineering practices. When he’s not rooting for the Timbers\, the remainde r of his attention is focused on Sailflow reports for the Columbia and W illamette rivers. \;\n \;\nThis event is free and is at Puppet La bs.

However\, rid ing a train of dogmatic viewpoints and practices has\, in many cases\, r uined the original efforts of change agents and more tragically\, create d bad patterns of development. This presentation (also presented at the Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference earlier this year) will ex plore how we can clarify our intentions and work towards creating an env ironment where the people involved are empowered to think and experiment but still march in the same general direction. As product development b ecomes more and more complex\, different approaches are needed to get to the right outcome and we can no longer afford to apply rigid methods th at worked for a simpler environment. This presentation will help the aud ience think critically about where they are being too dogmatic in their efforts while introducing some new ways of thinking around complex adapt ive systems and complex product development.

As agile continues its rapid adoption\, it’s essential to define the role of QA in Scrum as concretely as we’ve defined the other team roles. \;\nAgile methodology gives QA an o pportunity for broader and deeper involvement in the software developmen t lifecycle\, enabling us more effectively to ensure quality\, not by fi nding defects\, but by preventing the introduction of defects in the fir st place. Because quality starts with the user story\, QA can drive def ect prevention by asking key questions of product owners during requirem ents definition. We can ensure that comprehensive acceptance criteria a re in place\, to drive high quality development\, testing\, and story ac ceptance. We can also ask technical questions of developers. This resu lts in more thoroughly defined user stories and prompts developers to co nsider additional issues\, and avoid pitfalls in advance of implementati on. Finally\, to prevent the steady growth of technical debt\, we must remind scrum masters to plan story points for fixing both known and unkn own defects as part of every sprint. This presentation will teach you h ow to leverage Agile within your organization to see immediate improveme nts in the quality of your software delivery. \;\n \;\nAbout the s peaker... \;\nKaren Ascheim Wysopal has been in software QA for over 20 years\, in roles including tester\, release manager\, software engine er\, test automation engineer\, and 8 years as QA manager.

There are a lso the equally inevitable naysayers and dystopian dreamers who worry al ong equally familiar but slightly different lines: we will be less socia l\, less secure\, more isolated\, and more homogenous. The message here is everything will be different\, but perhaps not so much better. Of cou rse\, running in between these larger conversations are the practicaliti es of living with new technologies—how much does it cost? where does it live? who should look after it? what will we will do with it? and\, in t he end\, what will we do without it? \;\n \;\nPerhaps it is no sur prise then that we worry\, that new technologies are frequently accompan ied by anxiety\, and sometimes even fear. In this talk\, Genevieve trace s the roots of these hopes\, fears and anxieties back through our histor y with machines—Vaucason’s Duck\, Edison’s Talking Doll\, the tea-cup ro bots of the Edo-period in Japan\, Frankenstein’s monster and Ned Ludd’s polemics are all part of this story. She takes an expansive view\, cross ing cultures and historical periods\, to create a genealogy of our socio -technical anxieties. Ultimately\, she suggests a framework for making s ense of these anxieties\, and in so doing\, a new way of thinking about the next generation of technologies we are designing.\n\nTags: computer\ , ux\, interaction\, forum\, oregon\, portland\, chifoo\, user-experienc e\, story telling\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/12504656 04 URL:http://www.chifoo.org/index.php/chifoo/events_detail/ducks_dolls_robo ts_a_genealogy_of_socio-technical_anxieties/ SUMMARY:CHIFOO Meeting: Ducks\, Dolls & Robots: a Genealogy of Socio-Tech nical Anxieties LOCATION:Puppet: 308 SW 2nd Ave Fifth Floor\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:6 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140314T174714Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140403T183000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140403T173000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140314T174714Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140314T174714Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250465840 DESCRIPTION:HubSpot is a fast growing marketing platform used by over 10\ ,000 companies.

This presentation asserts that there are similarities between an exte nded trek through the woods and software development\, and that the qual ities that enable one to survive in the woods can help us to be more suc cessful in our projects. Along the way\, it borrows from recent research in Neuroscience\, Psychology\, and Systems Science to provide some unde rstanding about how and why fostering these qualities might be helpful. \;\n \;\nOur speaker\, Michael Kelly is a veteran of numerous sof tware development campaigns. He's built software for power companies and banks\, for the trucking industry and education\, for internet start-up s and established companies\, for his own companies and for others.

But supervisors and managers have sometimes struggled to ex ert their influence without sacrificing the benefits of self-organizatio n even as teams have struggled to fully situate themselves in the contex t of business value. \;\n \;\nWhen they reflect at regular interva ls by conducting retrospectives\, Agile teams embody the most basic elem ent of continuous improvement. But\, lacking a defined mechanism for und erstanding the organizational system outside their own boundary\, teams are frequently unable to sustain the pace of improvement over time. \ ;\n \;\nThe Improvement Kata is a basic pattern of practice for conti nuous improvement that aligns tightly focused improvement experiments ac ross the breadth and depth of the organization using teachable coaching protocols. Profound in its simplicity\, the Improvement Kata embodies tr uly scientific management! \;\n \;\nAttend this talk to learn more about what the Improvement Kata is\, to understand where it came from a nd how it operates\, and to appreciate what can be gained by combining t he Improvement Kata with selected Lean and Agile ideas and practices. &# 13\;\n \;\n* * * \;\n \;\nAdam Light is Management Consultant a nd Principal at SoTech Advisors where he helps technology leaders apply Lean and Agile methods to deliver increased customer value\, enhance org anizational capability\, and improve the lives of their employees. \ ;\n \;\nAdam has more than 20 years of technology experience. He bega n his career as an application developer before becoming a manager of pr ojects and people. Adam first experienced the power of Lean and Agile me thods when he adopted them as Director of Planning and Program Managemen t at TransUnion. That initial knowledge led him to found SoTech Advisors and he has built his consulting practice steadily by seeking knowledge of new and better management methods at every opportunity. \;\nWorkin g with enterprise clients to adopt\, integrate\, and adapt Lean and Agil e practices\, Adam helps people learn to think and act differently by de epening their understanding.

Ofte n the first line of defense in a corporate environment is the internal a udience and invested key stakeholders. \;\n \;\nDeveloping the sol ution is not enough. How you communicate the idea is just as important a s the solution itself. Communicating your approach at the right time wit h the right mediums\, and using the right level of fidelity to motivate the audience into action is an art. One needs to be an effective persuad er. One needs to be a provocateur. \;\n \;\nAbout the Speaker \ ;\nLee Fain (@houseoffain) leverages the process of design provocation t o develop compelling stories of technology while building deeper relatio nships within 3M’s culture of innovation. He currently leads design-cent ric initiatives for 3M’s Electronics &\; Energy Business Group based in Saint Paul\, MN. His expertise is in contextualizing material science solutions through the tools of design and articulating big stories of i nnovation with high fidelity video productions. \;\n \;\nBefore th is role\, Lee was a strategic designer within 3M’s Consumer Business Gro up where he developed product design strategies for brands including Pos t-it and Scotch. His experience over the past 10 years ranged from websi te development for the US Air Force in Aviano\, Italy to appliance desig n for General Electric to expanding intellectual property claims on emer ging technologies. Most recently his design thinking was highlighted in a book titled: Solving Problems with Design Thinking: Ten Stories of Wha t Works (Columbia University Press). \;\n \;\nLee Fain received a Master of Fine Arts in Industrial Design from the Savannah College of Ar t and Design and a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from Campbell Univ ersity in North Carolina.

It's had a bad year. In fact\, U X deliverables in general have had a bad couple of years. There's a grow ing skepticism about the value of Personas and other traditional UX arte facts\, as well as an onslaught of "\;get out of the deliverables bu siness"\; refrains from Lean methodologies. All of this led me to lo ts of introspection about deliverables\, and if it’s actually possible t o create deliverables that are useful to help create better products. In this talk I’ll tell our story. How we stripped down all our deliverable s to almost nothing\, and then started building it all up again slowly b y asking ourselves\, “What is absolutely necessary for us to do a great job?” I’ll discuss some of the deliverables we’ve since created (such as Expanded Journey Maps and Content Slice Diagrams)\, how they’re useful to us\, and how you might be able to use them in your design process as well. We’ve come to realise that not all UX deliverables are bad. Only b ad deliverables are bad. \;\n \;\n \;\nAbout Rian Rian is pass ionate about designing and building software that people love to use. Af ter spending several years working in Silicon Valley\, he is currently D irector of User Experience at consultancy Flow Interactive in South Afri ca. He also writes regularly about design\, technology\, and software de velopment for Smashing Magazine and his own site\, Elezea.\n\nTags: meet up:event=205538362\, meetup:group=pdxSass\n\nImported from: http://calag ator.org/events/1250467101 URL:http://www.meetup.com/pdxSass/events/205538362/ SUMMARY:Getting back into the (right) deliverables business LOCATION:Puppet: 308 SW 2nd Ave Fifth Floor\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141006T184100Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141013T190000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141013T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141006T184100Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141006T184100Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250467118 DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next Docker Portland Meetup!

How do you move away from a fixed fin ancial budget to create a lean and Agile product portfolio? Can you empo wer self-organizing teams when individually-focused Management By Object ives (MBOs) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) rule the way the organ izations measure progress? \;\n \;\nBeyond Budgeting is a way of t hinking that aligns with Agile and provides enterprises with the languag e\, subject matter context and concrete detail necessary to address thes e dilemmas and complement the Agile mindset found in software and produc t development. \;\n \;\nCreated as part of Agile Alliance's "\ ;Supporting Agile Adoption"\; workshop\, this talk will define Beyon d Budgeting\, highlight how it aligns with Agile as well as describe whe re it differs and propose an approach to taking advantage of both lines of thinking to create a holistic approach to enterprise agility. \;\n \;\nBio: \;\nJorgen Hesselberg is the Director of Agile Enterpris e Transformation at Intel Security.

This challenge can come from expanding pilo t programs from handful of teams to more teams\; or\, it comes from agil e teams working with non-agile parts of the organization. The process i nevitably creates confusion as teams employing different methods interfa ce with each other. Are there large scale practices that work in easing the interaction between agile teams\, and other non-agile\, semi-agile business units? While scaling\, can an organization get too process hea vy and risk losing the original intent of transitioning to agile practic es? \;\nThere are primarily three scaling frameworks that try to addr ess scaling agile practices: Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD)\, Large-S cale Scrum (LeSS)\, and Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). Each of these fr ameworks draws from variety of agile and lean practices. However\, an o rganization’s context matters most in deciding whether to embrace partic ular framework or only select practices to obtain desired results. In most cases\, an organization has to make informed\, pragmatic choices an d experiment with various practices. \;\n \;\nCambia Health Soluti ons has for over three years rolled out Scrum and other agile practices across more than 40 development oriented teams. For Cambia\, scaling pra ctices\, articulated in scaling frameworks\, such as enterprise-wide syn chronized Sprints\, multi-program Quarterly Release Planning\, Scrum of Scrums and Communities of Practices\, have been effective in organizing our work. Many of these practices can prove useful not only to larger\, but also to smaller ones\, who are looking to improve and refine their adaption of agile practices. \;\n \;\nAashish Vaidya is a Staff Co nsultant at Cambia Health Solutions\, parent company of The Regence Grou p\, a not-for-profit\, Health Insurance Company. He works on large portf olio projects\, and serves as an internal Agile and Quality coach. He is a founding member of Cambia’s Enterprise Transition Community\, Agile B est Practices Exchange and the Software Quality Best Practices Exchange. Aashish has over 20+ years of industry experience working in various le adership and management positions for companies such as Compaq\, Intel\, Kronos Incorporation\, and other IT companies. Aashish has been a prese nter and a panelist for Technology Association of Oregon\, AgilePDX\, Ro seCity SPIN and PNSQC. He has been practicing Agile for over 7 years and holds Scrum Practitioner and ScrumMaster certifications. He is a co-aut hor of 2 articles on AgileAtlas.org on Scrum common practices and he mai ntains an infrequent blog on Agile and Management topics at agilesutra.w ordpress.com.

We hear echoes of this in leadership’s implorations to “go faster”. To succeed\, engineering teams need the flexibility to alter our course mu ltiple times during product development. The practices to accomplish th is are well-established\, yet teams continually encounter difficulty cha nging their behavior. Matt will discuss the challenges a team faces in adopting new techniques\, and an approach for achieving sustained excell ence. \;\n \;\nMatt Plavcan is a Technical Practices Coach with th e Intel Emergent Systems and Coaching team.

But often times w e find that this only allows our teams to grow to a local optimum\, as t hey are quickly impeded by the organization they work within\, and it's lack of mature inspect and adapt mechanisms. How do we as front line co aches or managers effectively influence the organization around us to th rash this impediment for our teams? \;\n \;\nThis interactive tal k will explore the peaks and pitfalls of coaching an organization toward s continuous improvement\, sharing real world examples of goal setting\, alignment\, and accountability mechanisms. We will also discuss effecti ve and ineffective ways to measure an organization\, and finally we will identify where are we likely to run into resistance and how it can be o vercome. \;\n \;\nBio: \;\nFor the past two years Andy Whaples and his merry band of acronyms (CSP\, CSM\, PMI-ACP\, SPC\, PMP\, MBA) h ave been helping Tripwire adopt and master Agile Practices within it's s oftware development organization.

These challenges led him to embrace Agile and Lean's focus on delivering incremental customer value through highly motivated\, supported and performing teams of crafts-men and women.

Until they 're ready\, solutions providing easy access to multiple clouds can smoot h that transition. Bernard Sanders (CTO at CloudBolt Software) joins us to talk about how their cloud management platform interfaces with OpenS tack\, and the good\, bad and ugly of integrating with one of the fastes t growing open source projects in history. \;\n \;\nPrior to Cloud Bolt\, Bernard has worked for NASA/JPL\, Loudcloud\, Opsware\, HP\, hold ing roles in development\, systems engineering\, and product management.

In some quarters\, the term “agile ” is being deprecated in favor of “nimble\;” in others\, the term “busin ess agility” is increasingly favored. The case was made on 6/17 that Ag ile as we know it doesn’t speak to the needs of the enterprise outside o f IT or engineering\, and\, especially\, senior business leaders do not show up as what we often think of as agilists. \;\n \;\nSo\, what’ s under Scrum\, XP\, and Kanban? What about the manifesto and principle s can we grasp as tools to operationalize agility wherever we are—withou t spouting Scrumese or Agile cuteness. How do we both grow ourselves as agilists and as a community and support our colleagues toward a more ma ture grasp of Agile and Lean.

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 resource for Portland bas ed companies and individuals interested in accessibility\, universal des ign\, and inclusive design. \n\nTags: meetup:event=225613347\, meetup:gr oup=Portland-Accessibility-and-User-Experience-Meetup\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250469228 URL:http://www.meetup.com/Portland-Accessibility-and-User-Experience-Meet up/ SUMMARY:PDXAUX a11y Working Group: Gitbook Part II LOCATION:Puppet: 308 SW 2nd Ave Fifth Floor\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:3 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151113T043509Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151118T203000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151118T183000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151113T043509Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151113T043509Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250469391 DESCRIPTION:It's time to check in with you\, the Agile Community\, again about how you would like AgilePDX to serve you.

Learning from the frustrations involved in that process clarified exa ctly what we wanted out of a distributed computation system\, and soon a fter Ibis was born. The goal was to simplify everything and leave the h ard problems of synchronization to battle tested libraries that already do it well\, namely Zookeeper and Kafka. Built on this solid foundation \, Ibis was a natural expression of our intent when designing a distribu ted system. Providing seamless distribution in the face of adding and r emoving nodes on the fly\, streaming\, scheduling and unique tasks\, Ibi s is already serving us well in production and we consider it a great su ccess. \n\nTags: clojure\, ClojureScript\, functional programming\n\nIm ported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250469479 URL:http://www.meetup.com/clojure-pdx/events/227171716/ SUMMARY:Clojure PDX - Ibis: a Journey in Distributed Computation w/ Ryan Spangler LOCATION:Puppet: 308 SW 2nd Ave Fifth Floor\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160112T234807Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160120T203000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160120T183000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160112T234807Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160112T234807Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250469620 DESCRIPTION:"\;Do you or someone you know suffer from multi-tasking?

However\, that only works with a few package managers\, and you h ave to find the package repositories hosting those packages. Then there’ s Puppet 4\; upgrading to Puppet 4 comes with a lot of changes. It can b e daunting to find the changes necessary to ensure your agent will talk to your Puppet master after upgrading to Puppet 4. The puppetlabs-puppet _agent module aims to address those problems and makes use of many new l anguage features in Puppet 4 while doing so. This talk will walk through how it works. \;\n \;\nSpeaker Bio: \;\nMichael Smith has been writing software in C++ for 10 years\, with an obsession for avoiding p reventable mistakes.

Do you ever wish that you could levera ge the combined knowledge of your coworkers to innovate? Have you ever wanted to cross-pollinate practices across your company without having t o plan a conference without PowerPoint and speakers and did I mention Po werPoint? Then Open Space might be right for you. Open Space is a faci litation technique that empowers large groups to leverage the shared kno wledge of the attendees to self-organize to understand and ultimately so lve problems (large and small) facing individuals\, teams\, and organiza tions. Open Space Technology has been used by corporations\, non-profit s\, and community organizations to share knowledge\, work through proble ms\, and determine how to take action. At this month’s AgilePDX\, we’ll learn how two Portland companies\, ShiftWise and Tripwire\, use Open Sp ace to spread knowledge across team silos\, identify organizational impe diments\, and guide change from the bottom up\, while injecting some fun and teambuilding. \;\n \;\nThe discussion leaders: \;\n \; \nPhyllis Thompson is the Agile Process Coach at ShiftWise\, where she i s has participated in the company’s agile adoption since 2012. Phyllis h as worked with agile teams for nearly 10 years in a variety of roles: Sc rum Master\, Agile Project Manager\, Product Owner\, and as the manager of a PMO \;\nthat rolled out an “Agile PLC” and Scrum/Agile training to more than 100 engineering team members at Serena Software\, which us ed Scrum to develop an agile project management tool. \;\n \;\nDav id began his career as a software engineer hacking on the Java Virtual M achine. After realizing that the challenges of leading people were just as exciting as crafting software that delights its users\, he turned his attention to working with others to help grow individuals and Teams wit hin the context of a larger organization. He feels that listening and co mmunication are fundamental to understanding others and understanding yo urself. By day\, David is a member of Tripwire’s Agility Enablement Team . By night\, he is an adjunct lecturer in the Computer Science Departme nt at Portland State University. David likes watching things grown wheth er they are Teams\, companies\, his students\, his family\, or the veget ables in his garden. \;\n \;\nAs usual\, pizza and pop are sponsor ed by the good folks at the Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conferenc e (PNSQC).\n\nTags: agile\, agilepdx\, open space\n\nImported from: http ://calagator.org/events/1250469824 URL:http://www.agilepdx.org SUMMARY:Open Space at Work!

He is joining us to talk about "\;doubling performance in Swi ft with no code changes"\; \;\n \;\nAll interpreted languages come to the point in their evolution where a radical turn is needed to o ptimize performance and a Just In Time (JIT) compilation is the directio n they have all turned. We would argue that now is the time for Python. In perhaps an extreme case\, Swift’s performance is greatly affected by the latency of Python’s default CPython interpreter. Recently Swift thr oughput was improved 111% on a 15 node storage cluster and response time was boosted 87%. This was achieved by using PyPy\, the JIT version of P ython. This talk will describe a proof-of-concept study using PyPy in pr oduction with Swift\, offer a roadmap for broad adoption of PyPy in the Python world\, and provide clear steps for implementing PyPy in Swift.&# 13\;\n \;\nBio: David Stewart is the manager of the Server Language O ptimization Team in the Data Center Software Technology group at Intel w here he helped launch the effort. David has been an operating systems de velopment expert for his whole career\, starting out with Unix in 1980. David serves on various boards including the Yocto Project Advisory Boar d and the CE Linux Working Group\, both part of the Linux Foundation. Be fore the formation of his current team\, David held a variety of managem ent positions in Intel’s Software and Services Group and in Intel’s Desk top Boards and Systems division. \n\nTags: openstack devops linux cloud intel\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250470228 URL:http://www.meetup.com/openstack-pdx/events/229908263/ SUMMARY:OpenStack PDX May LOCATION:Puppet: 308 SW 2nd Ave Fifth Floor\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160520T221211Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160525T203000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160525T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160520T221211Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160520T221211Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250470307 DESCRIPTION:**NOTE: Please RSVP via the meetup.com website\, it helps for food and beverage planning.** \;\n \;\nLast month we had a really varied mix of experience levels in attendance\, and so this month we'll cover a subject that will be useful to audiences and participants of al l shapes and sizes...

Twel ve to fifteen people attended her topic—and split pro and con right down the middle with men and women on both sides. Over the last few months\ , software-related Meetups all over Portland have held discussions focus ed on women in STEM and women in software development. Now AgilePDX inv ites you into an Agile-focused discussion on gender dynamics on Agile te ams. \;\n \;\nWhat do you think? Has Agile improved\, hindered\, or left the issue of gender dynamics completely untouched? Does self-or ganization mean women have more of a voice? When men and women speak up about gender dynamics on teams is anyone left out? What about “gamerga te?” Do the Agile Manifesto and Principles imply anything about gender dynamics on teams? And\, if so\, what is that? Or\, is there something additional in the Agile “secret sauce” that improves (or hinders) how m en and women work and play together on Agile teams? Would you want your son or daughter on an Agile team? \;\n \;\nThis month\, AgilePDX gathers a panel of two men and two women to consider the state of Agile and gender diversity. \;\n \;\nTo follow the conversation before t he event\, join the AgilePDX Slack. \;\n \;\nPanelists: \;\n 3\;\nMegan Bigelow -- a connector and tech community leader\, having co- founded Portland Women in Tech (PDXWIT) and continues to serve as its Pr esident. In this role she's created a platform to connect tech women to companies\, mentors and practical skills. PDXWIT is 2000 strong and incl udes the support of 30+ tech companies. Above all\, Megan has a commitme nt to building community to solve issues. In her day job\, she is the Ma nager of Customer Support at Jama Software. \;\n \;\nErick Banks - - Sr. Quality Assurance Engineer at Puppet. Hosted the discussion on gen der inequality in tech at Agile Open Northwest (http://aonw2015.blogspot .com/2015/02/gender-inequality-in-tech.html). My first degree was in phy sics\, my second in computer science\, two of the most male-dominated ma jors. Incidentally I'm single. Interested in gender equality at work lar gely for selfish reasons. My hope is for my nieces to feel comfortable e ntering technical fields like mine without the burden of those fields be ing so gender imbalanced. I try to keep current on issues concerning gen der in the workplace by reading (preferably data driven) articles online \, a collection of some of them can be found here: https://github.com/Th oughtCrhyme/TechAndGender \;\n \;\nMatt Plavcan -- an Agile and Te chnical Practices Coach with Intel’s Emergent Systems team. He assists teams within the company adopt Agile practices and build their technical capabilities.

Matt is the founder of the Code Dojo and Coderetreat program at Intel\, whic h uses dedicated practice to hone professional programming skills. He ru ns similar events for the Portland community\, and is a coordinator for the 2016 Global Day of Coderetreat. He posts his coaching and developme nt musings on Twitter (@mplavcan) \;\n \;\nKathryn Gruenefeldt -- Sr. Director of Backend Engineering at Simple\, where she leads the team focused on services that reliably manage customers' financial transacti ons and adds homegrown Simple goodness on top\, such as Goals and Safe-t o-Spend. Simple is a technology company that’s changing the way people b ank and think about their money. Kathryn has spent over 20 years in vari ety of engineering roles\, ranging from Database and Middleware developm ent to Healthcare and Energy Conservation applications.

It overcomes many of the challen ges that companies have had when they have tried to adopt Agile Developm ent\, by addressing the mismatches between the software / IT development environment and the challenges faced by scientists and engineers when t he product involves physics\, chemistry and/or biology. \;\n \;\nT he Rapid Learning Cycles framework is a synthesis of Agile Development a nd Lean Product Development practices that works within a company's exis ting phase gate PDP. It is concrete and actionable for program managers\ , technical leads and their sponsors so that they can use the framework with confidence after a small amount of training and coaching. \;\n&# 13\;\nTeams that use the Rapid Learning Cycles framework exhibit the des ired changes that people want from Agile Development: fast cycles of dev elopment\, early engagement from customers and other stakeholders\, the ability to respond to change in a dynamic environment\, and adapt as new information develops. \;\n \;\nThey also build scientific knowled ge to make better decisions instead of running through build-test-fix lo ops\, capture knowledge real-time instead of reinventing solutions\, and make better decisions up front instead of getting stuck with late-found defects and schedule delays. \;\n \;\nSession Learning Objectives : \;\n \;\n1) What the Rapid Learning Cycles framework is\, and ho w it fits in with Agile Development. \;\n \;\n2) What practices fr om Agile Development get used in the Rapid Learning Cycles framework. 3\;\n \;\n3) What makes the Rapid Learning Cycles framework spread wi thin a product development organization\, even one that is resistant to Agile\, or seems to be a poor fit. \;\n \;\nBio: \;\n \;\nKa therine Radeka has a rare combination of business acumen\, scientific de pth and ability to untangle the organizational knots to remove the barri ers to change. Since 2005\, Whittier Consulting Group\, Inc. has helped some of the world's leading companies get their products to market faste r. She currently supports more than 100 active implementations of the R apid Learning Cycles framework through the Rapid Learning Cycles Institu te (rapidlearningcycles.com) \;\n \;\nKatherine is the author of t wo books. Her first book\, The Mastery of Innovation: A Field Guide to L ean Product Development won the Shingo Research Award in 2014. This book contains 19 case studies of companies who have used lean product develo pment to get their ideas to market faster. \;\n \;\nKatherine's se cond book is The Shortest Distance Between You and Your New Product: How Innovators Use Rapid Learning Cycles to Get Their Best Ideas to Market Faster. This book summarizes Katherine's ground-breaking work to integra te Agile Development and Lean Product Development into the Rapid Learnin g Cycles Framework\, a proven method for accelerating innovation. \;\ n \;\nKatherine has climbed seven of the tallest peaks in the Cascade Mountains and spent ten days alone on the Pacific Crest Trail until an encounter with a bear convinced her that she needed a change in strategi c direction.\n\nTags: agilepdx\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/ev ents/1250471217 URL:http://www.agilepdx.org SUMMARY:The Rapid Learning Cycles Framework: A Repeatable Adaptation of Agile Development for Tangible Products LOCATION:Puppet: 308 SW 2nd Ave Fifth Floor\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170123T234439Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170125T203000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170125T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170123T234439Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170123T234439Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250471356 DESCRIPTION:Bridging the gap between higher-level application development and embedded device deployments is all the rage these days.

This polymorphic abstraction lets what would otherwise be a large li brary of functions operating on a single collection type (list)\, grow i n power to operate over more collection types\, including maps\, sets\, vectors\, and many others. \;\n \;\nThe clojure.core sequence proc essing facilities borrow great ideas from earlier Lisps and Haskell too. Conversely\, ClojureScript’s collections library can be viewed as a suc cessor to Clojure’s own. By exploring a little bit of this surrounding t errain\, we gain a much clearer understanding of Clojure’s elegant and p owerful collection processing. \;\n \;\nIn this first 45-minute pr esentation\, we’ll introduce a toy problem and we’ll solve it a few diff erent ways at the REPL. From very basic beginnings\, we’ll introduce seq uence processing and collection-sequence duality. We’ll progress smoothl y to higher-order functions and beyond (I don’t want to ruin the surpris e mkay?) Along the way we’ll meet a number of foundational Clojure funct ions and forms. \;\n \;\nIf you’ve read a Clojure book (mainly the first few chapters) and you’ve written some code\, you have everything you need to understand this talk.

Covering case studies\, he shares what the building block s are for a diverse team\, and why we would want to strive to create (or join) one. Dennis’ own non-traditional background made him aware how va luable diverse teams can be\, where people with different perspectives c ollaborate in unique ways to generate novel solutions. \;\n \;\nCo me bring your questions and an open mind\, and join this important discu ssion. All of us are responsible to recognize where people are marginali zed and excluded\, especially in the current climate. Being agile means finding better ways to implement things. Let’s be agile about diversity. \;\n \;\nBIO: \;\nDennis\, a native Portlander\, began his ca reer in L.A. working in Film and TV. Four years ago he returned to Portl and and joined the software development world\, migrating through the di fferent levels to management and agile coach. His focus now is on hiring and coaching successful (and diverse) development teams. \n\nTags: agil e\, agilepdx\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250471610 URL:http://www.agilepdx.org SUMMARY:AgilePDX: First\, Ignore the Resume - Reexamining Hiring Practice s to Improve Diversity LOCATION:Puppet: 308 SW 2nd Ave Fifth Floor\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170327T175450Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170504T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170504T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170327T175450Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170327T175450Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250471701 DESCRIPTION:Deep learning (DL) has become an important topic in the AI an d machine learning world.

With so many tools\, techn iques\, models\, methods\, practices\, and principles available\, how do you decide which ones are appropriate for a given situation? \;\n 3\;\nAgile methods\, practices\, and principles are successful primarily because they are effective heuristics. Heuristics are anything that pro vide a plausible aid or direction in the solution of a problem. All heur istics work by exploiting the structure of an environment\, so heuristic s work well in some environments and less well (or not at all) in others . We need to understand why and where Agile methods and practices work - and where they don’t - in order to adopt\, tailor\, use\, and improve t hem. \;\n \;\nCynefin is a sensemaking framework that helps people understand their context or situation in order to take appropriate acti on. The Cynefin framework can be used to select Agile heuristics appropr iate for the environment (e.g. use Scrum here\, and Kanban there) rather than defaulting to a single\, recipe-based approach for all situations. Agile heuristics are especially important and useful for complex and co mplicated environments\, where practitioners must work continuously to u nderstand their context\, and then respond quickly and flexibly to meet rapidly-changing needs. \;\n \;\nAgile in Context helps practition ers understand not only how\, but also why Agile methods and practices w ork across different contexts. Understanding Agile in context increases the chances for successful adoptions and highlights areas where new meth ods need to be developed or repurposed from other disciplines. Treating Agile as a set of heuristics will also reduce recipe-based\, dogmatic ap proaches that are fairly pervasive in the community at large today. \ ;\n \;\nLearning Outcomes: \;\nBy the end of the session\, partici pants should be able to: \;\n-- describe what heuristics are and why they work \;\n-- describe the Cynefin Framework \;\n-- use the Cyn efin framework to identify and select heuristics to improve Agile develo pment \;\n-- find additional information for continued learning \; \n \;\nOptional Pre-Work: \;\nA Leader’s Framework for Decision Ma king \;\nhttps://hbr.org/2007/11/a-leaders-framework-for-decision-mak ing \;\n \;\nAbout the Speaker: \;\n \;\nDan Walsh is a Fou nder and Principal of nuCognitive (www.nuCognitive.com).

Web conferencing is allowing us to bring in speakers doing cutting edge work around the w orld. Come join us for this innovative discussion. \;\n \;\nToday companies need Agile throughout. But how can they go beyond software to include even board and basic legal structure? Share and comment on the journey Jutta Eckstein and I are on to answer that question. We first ge neralize the Manifesto to values of: self-organization\, transparency\, constant customer focus\, and continuous learning. Then\, deepen these v alues by adding Beyond Budgeting\, Open Space\, Sociocracy. A new organi gram emerges that synthesizes board\, inspiration\, resource support\, a nd value center perspectives and focuses them on the customer. Finally\, use Cynefin to implement company-wide Agility\, and then dance! \;\n \;\nFormat: The presentation will cycle between presenting ideas\, p osing questions audience small groups\, and providing brief moments for sharing and reflection. \;\n \;\nBio: \;\n \;\nJohn Buck liv es near Washington\, DC\, USA\, and is a division director for The Socio cracy Group\, an international foundation headquartered in Rotterdam\, N etherlands. \;\n \;\nJohn has led dozens of sociocracy implementat ion projects for a variety of organizations around the globe\, ranging f rom schools and neighborhoods to NGOs and for-profit manufacturers and I T companies using Agile. He believes that such basic values as equality\ , effectivness\, and transparency can make our work places dramatically more elegant and sustainable. He excels in customizing sociocracy princi ples to each organization’s particular concerns\, work schedules\, and p rofessional areas. \;\n \;\nJohn was the first person outside of T he Netherlands to receive consultant certification from The Sociocracy G roup in Rotterdam\, Netherlands.

Expanding on the principles of pair programming \, mob programming uses an entire team to create well designed and imple mented code. Alexander will be going over both the good parts and bad pa rts of mob programming that he's come across in the last 3 years of impl ementation with his team. We'll discuss what everyone's role is in mob p rogramming\, when it's best to attempt it with your team\, and when you might end up experiencing more headache than benefit. \;\n \;\nBio : Alexander Clifford found his way into programming through a somewhat c ircuitous route. With a background in science and cooking he discovered his love of programming almost by accident while searching for his next learning project. Seven years later he now leads the UI Apps development team on Oracle's Infinity product line as a Principle Software Engineer . When he's not programming for work\, he's programming for fun by attem pting to create Skynet\, running around in nature pretending to be a nat ive Northwesterner\, or moving about his kitchen in an attempt to not fo rget all of his prior chef skills.

How do we cultivate a virtual team dynamic which nouris hes engaged collaboration and equitable dialog among all voices? As orga nizations continue to grow flatter and increasingly become more global\, remote teams need to acquire new skills to build trust with one another and overcome the perceived distance in the virtual team environment. In this talk Line Mørkbak and her online colleague Sarika Kharbanda share some of their insights and tips on how to ensure that we engage all voic es in our online collaboration. They will explore various tools and tech niques to increase a sense of team and bring back the “human” interactio n. Line and Sarika will look at the latest research on virtual collabora tion\, exploring the mindset needed to create a nourishing virtual work environment\, and will share tools to support fluid collaboration for on line teams. \;\n \;\nLine Mørkbak is constantly exploring new meth ods to engage learners and develop team approaches that empower f2f and virtual collaboration. Dynamic participation\, interactivity\, and engag ement are keywords for her workshops and learning designs. As a Global C ollaboration Facilitator she divides her time between European and North American clients and her work often takes place in a virtual global env ironment. Line is constantly exploring and experimenting with ways to en hance the way we collaborate with our colleagues when we are not in the same physical location.

So\, how is BDD really done\, and where does TDD fit in\, if at all? It turns out that the real proble m may lie in trying to pin down rigorous definitions for these terms\, a nd trying to determine when to do which style of testing. Rob coaches te ams to be prepared to use the BDD cycle and the TDD cycle when appropria te\, and to be willing to move fluidly between these two intertwined cyc les on a daily basis. Rob has witnessed significantly improved levels of communication\, alignment\, quality\, and enthusiasm on teams -- and ju st in mere days\, when BDD is embraced as the central activity of the wh ole team. \;\n \;\nYou’ll help explore why\, when\, and how to use both TDD and BDD together to build the most valuable and maintainable s oftware possible. \;\n \;\nRob Myers is principle instructor and coach at Agile for All. He has over 30 years of professional experience with software development teams\, and has been training and coaching org anizations in Agile engineering practices since 1998.

I \;\nthink this results in software that is easy for the average person to \;\nuse and understand. \;\n \;\nThe onl y way I know how to describe the kinds of behaviors that result \;\ni n the physicality I seek is with state machines. I've built a library 3\;\ncalled Plastic that lets me define state machines composed of pure& #13\;\nfunctions triggered by DOM events. This allows me to express the& #13\;\nbehaviors making up the UI in almost exactly the same way I desig n them \;\nwith pen and paper\, all the while hiding mutation in the implementation \;\nin fine Clojurian fashion. \;\n \;\nIn this talk I'll describe my philosophy of UI design in more detail\, \;\npr ovide some examples of the physicality I'm aiming for\, and show how \;\none is implemented using Plastic. If time and enthusiasm allows\, we can \;\ncollaboratively define another simple software object using Plastic on \;\nthe fly\, to get a bottom-up perspective in addition t o the top-down \;\nperspective of the scripted talk. \;\n \;\nI hope to see you there. \;\n \;\n-DLP \;\n \;\nP.S. I am amu sed to be delivering a talk in defense of objects\, but \;\nthese are strange times we live in.\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events /1250474508 URL:https://www.meetup.com/clojure-pdx/events/ksgwvlyxqbjb/ SUMMARY:Creating Interactive Software Objects with Clojurescript w/ Dan L idral-Porter LOCATION:Puppet: 308 SW 2nd Ave Fifth Floor\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181129T015118Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181219T203000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181219T183000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181129T015118Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181129T185131Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250474615 DESCRIPTION:**Please RSVP on our Meetup page to receive the latest update s:** https://www.meetup.com/AgilePDX-User-Group-Portland-Metro/events/25 6753403/ \;\n \;\nScientific thinking is a life skill that forms t he basis for creativity at work and the successful pursuit of seemingly unattainable goals.

The goal of the workshop is to provide people wit h the opportunity to gain experience with a technical interview format.& #13\;\n \;\nThis workshop is broken into two sections: \;\n- Inter view Best Practices \;\n- Mock Interviews &\; Whiteboarding \;\ n \;\nIn the morning\, we'll cover an introduction to solving algorit hms. Participants will have the chance to see common interview algorithm s\, and approach how to solve them under pressure. \;\n \;\nIn the afternoon\, we will break into groups for mock interviews. This will he lp participants get a feel for what a technical interview might be like. Whiteboarding can be much different than writing on paper\, especially in front of others. Participants will have the chance to practice answer s to common questions\, thinking out loud while solving a problem and pr actice techniques for how to move forward when stumped. \;\n \;\n# # AGENDA \;\n \;\n- 9:30 - Doors Open \;\n- 10:00 - Introductio ns\, interview prep\, and algorithm practice \;\n- 12:00 - Lunch \ ;\n- 1:00 - Break into groups for mock interviews \;\n- 4:30 - Finish \;\n \;\n \;\n## EVENT COST \;\n \;\nThe event cost is $ 10 for participants and includes lunch. \;\nScholarships: If you are a student\, under-employed\, or in need of financial assistance\, we hav e full scholarships available for this event.
