SAOpdx: Parallel Java Programming for Multi-Core Processors
Roll back

Presented by the Developers Forum
With over 6.5 million software developers worldwide, Java is used in every major industry segment, running on everything from cell phones to scientific supercomputers. Traditionally, it has been difficult for programmers to take advantage of the multi-core systems with their ever-multiplying number of cores. But that is all about to change with JSR-166y. Targeted for Java 7, scheduled for release in late 2010, JSR-166y adds a lightweight task framework known as ForkJoin (FJ) to the Java platform.
Steve Dohrmann will be discussing the fundamentals of parallel Java programming. His talk will include the use of Java threads, an overview of the JSR-166y (ForkJoin) package, and some points on higher-level parallel programming models. If you're a Java developer, you can't afford to miss this opportunity to learn about the future of Java in a parallel world. And developers on other environments will find the overview of parallel application development and solid parallel algorithm fundamentals to be valuable in building systems that scale and provide competitive differentiation for your solutions.
Meet the Speaker: Steve Dohrmann, Software Engineer, Intel
Since joining Intel in 1994, Steve has worked in a variety of research, advanced development, and product groups within the company. He is currently working in a Java technology group and is focused on data-parallel programming for the Java VM.
Intel will be giving away a brand new laptop for a door prize! |

Portland Linux/Unix Group: A Talk by Jeri Ellsworth (SICK: RESCHEDULING!)

<H1>WARNING!!!</H1>
<h2>Jeri is sick and can't do the talk tonight.</H2>
<h2>Informal DorkBotPDX demo night instead!</h2>
In place of Jeri, I have some offers to do demos of projects from DorkBotPDX land, including Simran Gleason about his Kepler's Orrery (a generative music system that composes music from gravity equations), I have a little stepper motor demo, someone suggested they could demo Luz (a ruby / opengl 4-d drawing software), and there may be others.

A Talk
by
Jeri Ellsworth
(Circuit Girl)
Jeri Ellsworth is a native Oregonian, born in Yamhill and raised
in Dallas, Oregon. Early on she became fascinated with electronics
and 8-bit computers setting the stage for her unique approach to
learning. Not being challenged in school, she skipped higher
education to pursue a career in car-racing and chassis fabrication.
After that, she opened a chain of computer stores in Oregon and
Washington. She sold those to persue a career in chip design,
which lead her to design the CommodoreOne - based upon the
Commodore 64 - using reconfigurable logic and the C64 DTV 30-
games-in-one joystick, selling, a quarter million units.
She currently works as an Oregon based consultant.
I'm not sure what Jeri is going to speak about yet, but judging from
the talk she gave at Stanford, it should be very good indeed.
See a video of her Stanford talk at:

Portland Linux/Unix Group: Drupal! What is it good for?

PRESENTATION
Drupal
What is it Good For?
by
Lev Tsypin
Drupal is growing leaps and bounds these days, powering everything
from ma and pa brochure sites to Obamaâs recovery.gov. Does this
mean itâs a great fit for any website? Not exactly.
Drupal has been defined as many things, including a content
management system, a web application framework, and community
plumbing. In some ways, this is both a blessing and a curse;
thereâs so much you can do, in so many different ways, that new
users are crushed under the weight of the options and lack of
clarity. In addition, all of that flexibility does come with a cost,
in terms of performance and conciseness.
This presentation will cover some Drupal basics including history,
core concepts, and system structure. From there, we will dig into
Drupalâs strengths and weaknesses, finishing off by discussing the
types of projects Drupal is best suited for, including specific
examples for each case.
My hope is that developers new to the platform will gain a better
understanding of when to approach a new project with Drupal, more
experienced developers will gain a bit of insight on when not to
use it, and non-techies will have some help in choosing a platform
for their projects along with an understanding why developers they
work with select a given platform. Please note that this talk will
not delve deeply into the technical details of Drupal.

Rose City SPIN seminar: Estimation - Understanding Project Environmental Effects
Roll back
description |
Networking from 6-7, Seminar from 7-8:00 PM
Event is open to anyone - this is a free talk. Come in early for free pizza provided by the Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference!
Abstract:
Estimates are required multiple times in a project. Project members need to make estimates for a variety of reasons, these include:
⢠The amount of time for a task;
⢠The cost for resources;
⢠The cost of software, hardware and other materials;
⢠The time required to finish a task.
However, there are many problems with estimates. This presentation focuses on the sociological and psychological aspects of doing estimates.
It teaches attendees the environmental issues that affect estimates and how to deal with their impact. Through class interaction, it shows both the psychological and sociological factors that affect how estimates are given and provides leaders with tools to help avoid the common pitfalls. By avoiding these situations, estimates become more representative of the project and more variation more predictable. Controlling both of these, help the Project Manager avert trouble.
This a very interactive and fun presentation. It has a short exercise and throughout the presentation, attendees are asked to make estimates on doing the exercise again under a number of situations to help better learn from their own behavior.
Speaker Bio:
Todd Williams has thirty years experience as a Project Manager, Architect, entrepreneur and businessperson. He has spent twenty of those years recovering red projects. From this experience, he has developed a process to make the recoveries more efficient. His experience also provides a plethora of invaluable knowledge on avoiding project failure.
He has worked in manufacturing and service industries for products used internally and externally to the companies developing them. The projects include large-scale system integration of manufacturing systems, equipment integration, web-based collaboration tools, thick clients with automated update via the internet and large-scale business systems integration. The projects have been in Taiwan, Singapore, Canada, the United States and Israel. The teams have been dispersed in as many as five countries, three continents and countless time zones. Some of these projects were captive in-house time and materials projects while others were outsourced fixed-priced projects.
Mr. Williams is the President of eCameron, Inc., located in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area, and specializes in recovering red projects. He is a published author and regularly publishes a Project Management Technique eZine.
Directions: Room 86-01 is located between the Engineering Building and the Fourth Avenue Building on the PSU campus.
Enter through the Engineering Building at 1930 SW Fourth Avenue, go down the stairs and through the hall directly ahead. Street parking is available.

PRESENTATION
Crash Reporting: Mozilla's Open Source Solution
by
K Lars Lohn
Nothing exercises the limits of software like turning it
over to the end users. While in-house testing is invaluable,
the end users can often find the neglected edge cases or subtle
race conditions in a more reliable manner. However, once the
software is in the end userâs hands, postmortem crash information
is usually lost.
By taking the Google Breakpad project and enhancing it with
Mozillaâs own Socorro project, Mozilla has a solution to this problem.
When Firefox goes down, in a last ditch effort, it lobs a
packet of crash information over the wall to Mozilla's Socorro
servers. Socorro Servers, written in Python, can handle millions
of these crashes per day. Using Google Breakpad libraries to
reconstitute useful stack traces, Socorro Server saves its
work in a PostgreSQL database. There statistics are gathered
and displayed under the Socorro UI, a PHP web application.
With this suite of tools, the Mozilla developers can track
trends and even drill down to look at specific instances of
Firefox crashes.
WARNING: during this talk, Firefox will be intentionally
crashed live on stage. Those of delicate constitution may wish
to retire to the lobby prior to the spectacle.
about Lars
Trapped at the triple point between a geek, a hippie and
a biker, Lars is a self proclaimed Cowboy Programmer at the
Mozilla Corporation. Unintentionally specializing in programming
as performance art, Lars frequently jumps into projects on the
Thursday prior to a Monday deadline. Lars is proud of being the
only member of the Web Development team that does absolutely
no Web development.
Lars prefers Python, PostgreSQL and Harleys, but is versed in C++,
MySQL and Subarus.

Portland Linux/Unix Group: What is Linux Fund?
Roll back
description |
PRESENTATION
What is Linux Fund?
by
Randal L. Schwartz and David Mandel
A discussion of the administrative side of running an Open Source organization - legal standing, non-profit status, taxes and fees, accepting donations, international issues, etc.
We will also discuss ways Open Source "Foundations"like Linux Fund, Apache Software Foundation, The Software Conservancy, The Free Software Foundation, The Open Source Geospatial Foundation, and others are helping particular projects minimize the overhead of running their own non-profit.
A lot of the discussion will center on Linux Fund since both presenters are from Linux Fund and ways to become involved with Linux Fund. |

Portland Linux/Unix Group: A Talk by Jeri Ellsworth

A Talk by
Jeri Ellsworth
(Circuit Girl)
Jeri Ellsworth is a native Oregonian, born in Yamhill and raised in Dallas, Oregon. Early on she became fascinated with electronics and 8-bit computers setting the stage for her unique approach to learning. Not being challenged in school, she skipped higher education to pursue a career in car-racing and chassis fabrication. After that, she opened a chain of computer stores in Oregon and Washington. She sold those to persue a career in chip design, which lead her to design the CommodoreOne - based upon the Commodore 64 - using reconfigurable logic and the C64 DTV 30-games-in-one joystick, selling, a quarter million units. She currently works as an Oregon based consultant.
I'm not sure what Jeri is going to speak about yet, but judging from the talk she gave at Stanford, it should be very good indeed.
See a video of her Stanford talk at: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1053309060448851979#

Springboard Social Innovation Forum
Roll back
description |
At the March Springboard Social Innovation weâll be addressing innovative physical spaces. By creating an active idea laboratory, shared workspace, specifically designed educational programs, appropriate tools, and needed expertise, we can cultivate innovative technology- and service-based solutions to shared problems using newly collaborative, enriched strategies that can be replicated in diverse settings globally.
Together MotiveSpace Coalition and Springboard Innovation are creating HATCH, a physical space that will serve as an active laboratory and incubator for community innovation and will foster an entirely new operating system between individuals, organizations, community, tools, and place. The space will offer classrooms, tools, programs, and experts who will work together to solve local and global problems. Tenants of all sectors will work in close proximity in a shared work space that fosters collaboration, community, and participation to generate social and ecological solutions.
Join us for a âworking Forum,â where weâll discuss HATCH and the potential role a physical space can play in solving social and environmental problems. **SPACE IS LIMITED, PLEASE RSVP** Please contact Mary Grace at (503) 452-6898 or marygrace@springboardinnovation.org for more information about this event and to RSVP.
The Springboard Social Innovation Forum offers a monthly event designed to support those interested in creating a better future. Our focus is to help practitioners or potential practitioners of social projects push beyond discussion and debate into action. Each Forum will inspire and teach with ideas, powerful role models, and stories. Speakers, content experts, panels, and workshops will help you improve your strategies for planning and launching effective social ventures. The Forum will create a context to connect, learn, and take action around ideas that lead to tangible changeâall in a venue designed for building community.
The Forum is intended to attract people with a wide range of experience and backgrounds, but with a common interestâmaking a difference. If you are getting tired of waiting for someone else to step up to take on issues you care about, come see how this can be a place to make a difference, here or around the world. We invite people from both the business and non-profit communityâinvestors and activistsâto join in, work together, and make this a model for other cities to adopt.
Learn more about the Forum at www.springboardinnovation.org/forum.php
About Springboard Innovation:
Springboard Innovation (www.springboardinnovation.org) is a not-for-profit headquartered in Portland, Oregon. Through a process of âinnovation incubationâ we help community members launch social change organizations and programs. We invite you to be involved in our newest initiative for change.

March 10th 2010 Springboard Social Innovation Forum:
Hatch: A New Approach to Incubating Community Innovation
Who: Springboard Innovation hosts its monthly Social Innovation Forum on Wednesday, March 10th 2010, from 6-9pm. There is limited space for this month’s event, so RSVP is REQUIRED.
What: At the March Springboard Social Innovation we’ll be addressing innovative physical spaces. By creating an active idea laboratory, shared workspace, specifically designed educational programs, appropriate tools, and needed expertise, we can cultivate innovative technology- and service-based solutions to shared problems using newly collaborative, enriched strategies that can be replicated in diverse settings globally.
Together MotiveSpace Coalition and Springboard Innovation are creating HATCH, a physical space that will serve as an active laboratory and incubator for community innovation and will foster an entirely new operating system between individuals, organizations, community, tools, and place. The space will offer classrooms, tools, programs, and experts who will work together to solve local and global problems. Tenants of all sectors will work in close proximity in a shared work space that fosters collaboration, community, and participation to generate social and ecological solutions. Join in the conversation and talk with us about HATCH!
Join us for a “working Forum,” where we’ll discuss HATCH and the potential role a physical space can play in solving social and environmental problems.
Mark your calendars now and RSVP today! Space is limited.

About The Social Innovation Forum
The Springboard Social Innovation Forum offers a monthly event designed to support those interested in creating a better future. Our focus is to help practitioners or potential practitioners of social projects push beyond discussion and debate into action. Each Forum will inspire and teach with ideas, powerful role models, and stories. Speakers, content experts, panels, and workshops will help you improve your strategies for planning and launching effective social ventures. The Forum will create a context to connect, learn, and take action around ideas that lead to tangible change—all in a venue designed for building community.
The Forum is intended to attract people with a wide range of experience and backgrounds, but with a common interest—making a difference. If you are getting tired of waiting for someone else to step up to take on issues you care about, come see how this can be a place to make a difference, here or around the world. We invite people from both the business and non-profit community—investors and activists—to join in, work together, and make this a model for other cities to adopt.

EPISODE #2!
Get up early and work on your side projects with some like-minded geeks!
TechCoffee is part running club, part knitting bee, and part hackathon. It's hard to work on all of your amazing ideas after a long workday, so instead we get up early. And we get together, so we have the reinforcement of other people up early, too. A couple hours a week can make a big difference.
So bring your laptops and your work ethic to the inaugural PDX TechCoffee. One commit a week is all we ask. |
