<p><strong><em> ATTENTION: For this month's meeting only, we will be meeting in the Jefferson room on the southeast end of the upper lobby. We will not be in the usual 8th-floor conference room! </em></strong></p>
<p>This month's topic: Grid Packet Computing for Java (GPC4J)</p>
<p>GPC4J is a computing paradigm that breaks a partitionable problem into GridPackets, which are routed, processed and re-assembled into the solution to the original problem. This presentation will cover the use of the system and design of the project's web application. The application is built using REST (Jersey), Maven, Hibernate, JPA, MySQL and GlassFish.</p>
<hr>
<p>Speaker: Lyle Harris</p>
<p>Lyle Harris is a Software Engineer working in World Wide Operations at Sun Microsystems, where he develops internal Java applications for automation and customer-facing web applications.</p>
<hr>
<p>PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then Q&A, discussion, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)</p>
<p>Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't <em>have</em> to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up!</p>
<p>Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, at a location determined ad hoc (lately, the Market Street Pub at 10th and Market: <a href="http://mcmenamins.com/index.php?loc=24">http://mcmenamins.com/index.php?loc=24</a> ).</p>

<p>This month's topic: Java Performance, the Lifecycle Approach: The Game Has Changed</p>
<p>Java Enterprise Performance Tuning typically is viewed as someone else's job.</p>
<p>QA will do it.
Operations will figure it out.
Isn't the Dev guys supposed to find these things?
But in fact it can and should be done across the lifecycle.</p>
<p>We will explore this new concept and other topics such as:</p>
<h1>GC diagnosis while under load</h1>
<h1>Is my Framework doing what I want?</h1>
<h1>Hello? Is this thing (caching) on?</h1>
<h1>Who's your daddy? (How do services really interact)</h1>
<hr>
<p>Speaker: Joe Hoffman</p>
<p>Joe Hoffman has been designing, building and debugging Enterprise Applications for over 25 yrs, the last 11yrs in Java. He currently specializes in resolving complex performance problems for large enterprise customers across the globe. He holds a Bachelors in Computer Science and a Masters in Software Engineering but still has a blinking VCR clock. When not walking his dog, he can be found usually losing another game of racquetball.</p>
<hr>
<p>PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then Q&A, discussion, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)</p>
<p>Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't <em>have</em> to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up!</p>
<p>Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, at a location determined ad hoc (lately, the Market Street Pub at 10th and Market: <a href="http://mcmenamins.com/index.php?loc=24">http://mcmenamins.com/index.php?loc=24</a> ).</p>

<p>This month's topic: The Latest in JavaFX</p>
<p>Josh will catch us up on the latest JavaFX release, 1.2, which includes lots of improvements to make JavaFX better for real world apps (speed, more controls, charts and graphs). Josh will also give us a sneak preview of features coming in future versions of JavaFX, along with some great demo apps.</p>

<p>Speaker: Joshua Marinacci</p>
<p>Joshua Marinacci first tried Java in 1995 at the request of his favorite TA and never looked back. He has spent the last ten years writing Java user interfaces for wireless, web, and desktop platforms. After tiring of web programming with several large companies in the Atlanta area he joined Sun to work on Java user interfaces full-time, first on the Swing team, then NetBeans, and now on the JavaFX tools team. Joshua recently co-authored O'Reilly's Swing Hacks with Chris Adamson. He also contributes to SwingLabs and writes regularly for Java.net. Joshua holds a BS in Computer Science from Georgia Tech and recently moved to Eugene, Oregon to be with his new wife.</p>

<p>This is the first meeting of the Portland Silverlight User Group - our keynote speaker will be Vertigo (<a href="http://www.vertigo.com">www.vertigo.com</a>) CEO Scott Stanfield. At its core, Vertigo is a group of developers and designers working closely together to create amazing user experiences.</p>
<p>Scott will discuss how Vertigo uses Silverlight, Blend, SketchFlow and a handful of development techniques (“Blendability”, MVVM and View State Manager) to enable our design and development teams to move quickly and build great apps like the Winter Olympics (<a href="http://www.vertigo.com/Olympics.aspx">http://www.vertigo.com/Olympics.aspx</a>), Sunday Night Football (<a href="http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/26393211/">http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/26393211/</a>), and Hard Rock International (<a href="http://www.vertigo.com/hardrock.aspx">http://www.vertigo.com/hardrock.aspx</a>).</p>
<p>If you’re an interaction designer, you’ll see what’s possible with Silverlight. If you’re a developer, you’ll learn better techniques to enable the designers to dial-in the fidelity they want. Or if you're just plain curious, please join us!</p>

How does Silverlight stack up against Flash?
How does Silverlight Out Of Browser measure up to Flex?
How does media work in Silverlight?</p>
<p>Warmup - MVVM in Practice
At the beginning of the meeting our own Alexis Jasso will be giving a short MVVM demonstration. It will be an example of how to convert non-MVVM code into the MVVM pattern.</p>

<p>This month's topic: The Spring Insight console and Roo</p>
<p>The Spring Insight console, part of tc Server Developer Edition, is a dashboard view of real-time Spring application performance metrics. Without changing their code, developers can use Spring Insight to detect, analyze and diagnose application performance issues right from their desktops.</p>
<h1>A graphical look at application performance: Within Spring Insight, application performance is graphically displayed via response time charts and histograms, providing developers an easily digestible view into where processing time is spent.</h1>
<h1>Easy navigation to identify the root causes of concerns: Expandable call trees enable developers to drill down into application requests and controller actions.</h1>
<h1>Integration with SpringSource Tool Suite to fix problems: By integrating SpringSource tc Server Developer Edition with SpringSource Tool Suite, developers gain a deeper understanding of how the application is functioning and performing by isolating a transaction trace and quickly jumping to the portion of code that is causing a problem.</h1>

<p>Silverlight Hackathon - Sunday Jan 31st 1pm-5:55pm
Event Sponsors: <em>IT Motives, Get It Right, Souk</em></p>
<p>We've got a great place to hang out, and the Silverlight Hackathon is a go! Meet us downtown at Souk, and we're going to have a great day of working on Silverlight. We've had some great project suggestions, and we'll break down into groups and work on projects that we find fun. Are you new to Silverlight? This is a great chance to get started. We've already had several people offer to help beginners out.</p>
<p><b>RSVPs not necessary</b>
Still, if you have 5 seconds, let us know you're coming by clicking on this poll:

<p>This month's topic: An Argument for Semantics - Why Developers Should Give a Hoot about OWL</p>
<p>In the push to make use of tagging and other forms user-driven information architectures, developers have overlooked the value of adding semantics, or contextual meaning, directly to the data that powers web sites and applications. The addition of Microformats to a Web site's markup can further the exchange of semantic information such as contact information for people and events. For the most part, however, web sites and applications are still populated by largely non-semantic prose organized in large blocks of HTML or generated from the walled gardens of relational databases and data warehouses.</p>
<p>While everyone agrees that HTML isn't going away anytime soon, several Web Standards have arisen over the last few years to help application developers store, serve, and distribute information with ever-increasing levels of semantics and meaning. The current pinnacle of the Semantic Web Standards pyramid is OWL - the W3C's Web Ontology Language. In this talk I will describe the roots and basics of OWL and how it can be used to power the next generation of smart, data-enabled Web applications.</p>

<p>This month's topic: Teaching Girls and Boys to Program Computers</p>
<p>Why is it that the percentage of women graduating with computer science degrees around 50% in countries like Sweden, China and India, but less than 20% in America? As a "Geekdad" with a daughter, I found this unacceptable, and decided to do something about it... I went back to school... elementary school that is, to teach programming to the kids. My goal was to find an environment and a style that would encourage girls with curiosity to enjoy being controlling computers in creative ways, and in the process, encourage and involve every kid.</p>
<p>My talk discusses the journey of coming up with a girl-friendly curriculum for teaching programming that boys wouldn't notice anything different. I then show off some of the new crop of "Integrated Learning Environments", i.e. Alice, E-Toys and Scratch. I finally give an overview of my "Computer Club" and how others can use what I've done to teach others.</p>
<hr>
<p>Speaker: Howard Abrams</p>
<p>My first job in high school was teaching Basic and Logo programming to 8 year old kids; however, I haven't taught since graduating from college. After programming for 25 years (and Java for 12), I'm now intrigue about returning to my roots and working with the next generation.</p>

<p>PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then Q&A, discussion, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)</p>
<p>Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't <em>have</em> to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up!</p>
<p>Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, usually at McMenamin's Market Street Pub at 10th and Market: <a href="http://www.mcmenamins.com/328">http://www.mcmenamins.com/328</a> (but sometimes this changes).</p>

<p>This month's topic: WebSockets</p>
<p>WebSockets is an exciting new technology that enables bidirectional communication between web applications and server-side processes. Google's Chrome browser already provides WebSockets and developers can expect to see the technology in other browsers in 2010. This presentation will cover the WebSocket protocol and JavaScript API. We'll also discuss Jetty's WebSocketServlet API and demonstrate how to use WebSockets in a GWT application.</p>

<p>Pythonistas,</p>
<p>Please join us tonight at 6:30pm for May's Portland Python User Group
meeting, with pizza provided by VanderHouwen & Associates!</p>
<p>Tonight's meeting is in three acts:</p>
<ul>
<li>Act I: "What the heck is going on?!"</li>
</ul>
<p>Featuring John Melesky presenting profile/cProfile as Michel's Monthly
Module, AND several lightning talks on code execution, runtime
instrumentation and source code analysis tools. (Kevin's presentation
on Meliae, the memory debugging tool, has been delayed.)</p>
<ul>
<li>Act II: Full Text Search with Python and Xapian</li>
</ul>
<p>Wherein Michel Pelletier will discuss working with Xapian, its Python
API, the xodb Python toolkit, indexing and querying, and neat search
tricks like term suggestion & faceting.</p>
<ul>
<li>Act III: Beer</li>
</ul>
<p>A predictable conclusion to be sure, but delicious all the same.</p>
<p>The fun starts at 6:30. (Please don't arrive earlier than 6:15.)</p>

<p>This month's topic: Rich Internet Clients: A moderated, but open discussion
on what is the "right technology" for an internet application.</p>
<p>Bring your opinions, experience and personal bias and join in a lively discussion on a highly pertinent topic.</p>
<p>Topical questions include but are not limited to:
Applications written using HTML, CSS and Java Script (DHTML) have some advantages but what requirements, if any, would sway a project towards -Flash, Applets or Java F/X?
Is there significant differences between consumer versus business based applications that would cause cause a particular technology to be used?
Are they days of Flash numbered or is the current trend towards pure DHTML doomed because of fragmentation in the browser market?</p>

<p>Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, at a location determined ad hoc (lately, the Market Street Pub at 10th and Market: <a href="http://mcmenamins.com/index.php?loc=24">http://mcmenamins.com/index.php?loc=24</a> ).</p>

<p>This month's topic: High-Tech Block Party!</p>
<p>Java developers, architects, programmers, and enthusiasts: get ready for a real adrenaline rush. The Java Road Trip: Code to Coast tour is visiting 20 cities across the United States showcasing Oracle's commitment to everything Java. Heading up the tour are key Java technologists from Oracle, who will be demonstrating the latest Java software, engaging with Java User Group (JUG) members, and meeting with enterprise developers and consumers.</p>
<p>The event will be hosted from 6-9pm at Pioneer Courthouse Square</p>
<p>701 SW 6th Avenue (bordered by SW Yamhill, SW Morrison and SW Broadway) Portland, OR 97205.</p>
<p>This high-tech block party on wheels is your chance to share the spirit of innovation that is the essence of Java.</p>
<hr>
<p>Speaker: Brent Christian</p>
<p>Brent Christian, a Senior Member of Technical Staff with Oracle, will be doing technology demos for the Portland event. In his 10+ years with Sun, he worked on Client Java technologies which included the AWT and Swing toolkits, as well measuring, analyzing, and improving client performance. He has spent the last few years on the JavaFX graphics team, focusing on the animation system along with performance benchmarking and analysis.</p>
<hr>
<p>This will be quite different from the typical PJUG meeting, so who knows what to expect? :)</p>

<p>This month's topic: Logging Last Resource (LLR) optimization of XA</p>
<p>Almost every transaction executed on a Java EE Application Server winds up distributed over multiple resources such as JMS destinations and JDBC datasources. Standard OTLP systems employ the XA-2PC protocol, a presumed-abort variant of the Two-Phase Commit protocol to make sure that either all resources commit successfully or all resources abort the transaction if at least one resource fails. As any distributed consensus protocol, XA-2PC is expensive. In this talk, we present Logging Last Resource (LLR) optimization of XA (actually, its Java EE "translation" in form of the JTA spec) in Oracle WebLogic Server. LLR's effectiveness has been validated in world record results achieved by the Oracle stack in the SPECjAppServer2004 benchmark and by high-profile customers in mission-critical applications.</p>
<hr>
<p>Speaker: Gera Shegalov</p>
<p>Gera has worked in the areas of workflow management, temporal databases, messaging, and recovery. He is currently with Oracle Database High Availability. In his prior role at Oracle, he was part of the Java Platform Group where he worked on the messaging infrastructure such as OC4J JMS, AQ JMS integration, WebLogic FileStore, and LLR. Prior to joining Oracle, Gera worked at the Max Planck Institute of Informatics in Saarbruecken, Germany and interned at Microsoft Research in Redmond, WA.</p>

<p>Hey Pythoneers,</p>
<p>Happy 2011! We're very excited to be kicking off the new year with a PDX Python meeting in a brand new space: Urban Airship's <em>new</em> office at 11th and NW Flanders. Michael Schurter will share a bit about deploying WSGI apps with nginx, and Jason Kirtland will give a presentation on Blinker entitled, "Decouple Your Everything with Publish/Subscribe." Head over at 6:30pm.</p>
<p>Urban Airship is at 334 NW 11th Ave, in the Pearl District: <a href="http://goo.gl/maps/U6mC">http://goo.gl/maps/U6mC</a></p>
<p>The main door will probably be locked, but the back door, which leads directly to the event space, will be propped open. The back door is right around the corner on NW Flanders, next to the loading dock: <a href="http://goo.gl/maps/Ikbh">http://goo.gl/maps/Ikbh</a></p>
<p>We'll put up signs, but if you get lost you can call Adam at 503-866-0663.</p>

<p>This month's topic: Gradle</p>
<p>Come to the session if you want to participate in learning more about Gradle. Gradle is a powerful layer of Groovy built on top of a number of established tools and libraries. Smart guys have borrowed from the pioneering work of Ant, Maven, Gant, Buildr and come up with an expressive, concise, and convention-rich build tool for the Java family.</p>
<p>For this session, there won't be any slides. I'm also not going to stand up and talk at you. Instead, I'm going to rely heavily on your involvement. I'll start with an introduction to Gradle, and then very quickly go into using it in practice. After a few minutes of that I'll open it up to go wherever we're most interested in. I'm not a Gradle expert, yet I believe that my Groovy background in conjunction with a few days of earnest usage have taught me a lot. This session will rely heavily on an internet connection, and we'll be googling for answers together if need be.</p>
<p>Do this ahead of time:</p>
<p>What is your intention for the session? Spend some time deliberately focusing on what it is you want out of the session. Bring that will you and share it with us. It will help us all focus on what's important and go some way to helping you get the most out of the session. Also, go have a quick read about Gradle on their website. That will save us all some time, help us get to the interesting details sooner, and be a good source of informed questions for you.</p>

<p>Speaker: Merlyn Albery-Speyer</p>
<p>I'm Merlyn, a Portland-based programmer with strong ties to both Agile PDX and Groovy. I'm also a member of an Agile team at YesMail, and I blog under the handle "curious attempt bunny".</p>

<p>PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then Q&A, discussion, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)</p>
<p>Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't <em>have</em> to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up!</p>
<p>Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, at a location determined ad hoc (lately, Trees restaurant in the same building).</p>

<p>This month's topic: Semantic Datastores - the <em>Other</em> NoSQL</p>
<p>The NoSQL movement has given developers many more data storage options, each with their own design considerations and trade-offs. One of the quieter options, semantic data stores (also called triple stores or quad stores), provide an interesting hybrid of key-value and graph database features, while offering a data model based on a W3C recommendation (RDF) and a standardized query language (SPARQL) that will feel familiar to anyone experienced with unfashionable SQL.</p>
<p>This talk will cover the basics of data modeling with RDF and how to use the open source Jena Semantic Web Framework to add a semantic datastore to a Java-based Web application.</p>
<hr>
<p>Speaker: Brian Panulla (@bpanulla)</p>
<p>Brian is an independent software consultant based in Portland, Oregon. His current projects include interactive data reporting tools the services for clients in the higher education, automotive sales, and legal sectors.</p>
<hr>
<p>PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then Q&A, discussion, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)</p>
<p>Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't <em>have</em> to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up!</p>
<p>Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, at a location determined ad hoc (lately, Trees restaurant in the same building).</p>

<p>Topic: Interactive Fiction</p>
<p>Description: Audrey will give an overview of Interactive Fiction (IF), including:</p>
<ul>
<li>The history of text games / interactive fiction in general (i.e., in the beginning, there was Adventure...)</li>
<li>Tools for making IF, mostly focusing on Inform (with coding demo).</li>
<li>Open source practices within IF, and how the history of this tech plus the commercial game markets moving on to graphical works has encouraged open source & open (sharing) culture.</li>
<li>Short demos of some modern games.</li>
</ul>
<p>**Note: Code-n-Splode (CnS) is a women-focused group. Men are welcome in CnS when accompanied by a self-identified female member of the group.</p>

<p>The monthly Portland Python meetup.</p>
<p>Tonight we've got a great meeting planned. Chris Pitzer will show us how he's been Learning Javascript from Python, and Michelle Rowley will be sharing her thoughts about how and why YOU can and should give technical talks in Why You Should Be Up Here. Also, we still don't have a volunteer for Michel's Module of the Month, so if you're up for telling us about your new favorite stdlib module we'd love to hear about it!</p>

<p>This month's topic: Using GWT to write iPhone web apps in Java</p>
<p>For the Java coder, GWT is currently as close as it gets to a multi-platform solution for web apps. After a quick GWT review, we will code about in the world of web apps you can run on your desktop and mobile phone, written in Java. This will be a superview presentation touching on GWT, GWT mobile libs and HTML5.</p>
<hr>
<p>Speaker: Jon Batcheller</p>
<p>Jon is one of the founders of PJUG, writing Java apps since 1995. He has written Java programs for a wide variety of applications from IC Design, circuit board layout, hardware/software co-design, assisted living facilit management, to a POS system for the two bars he owns.</p>
<hr>
<p>PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then Q&A, discussion, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)</p>
<p>Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't <em>have</em> to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up!</p>
<p>Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, at a location determined ad hoc (lately, Trees restaurant in the same building).</p>

<p><i>GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland Oregon area. Join other developers for presentations and discussions about Ruby and its uses.</i></p>
<p>VENUE: 2nd floor conference room, 222 SW Columbia St., Portland OR 97201. The building entrance is on SW Columbia between 2nd and 3rd Avenue. The door may be locked, but there's a guard on site that will let you in and you can use the doorbell to summon them. Ask the guard nicely to let you up to the 2nd floor conference room, the elevators require them to use a key card. When you get to the 2nd floor, just follow the "pdxruby" signs. This meeting space is kindly offered to us by Robert Half Technology, a company that provides IT staffing services and positions: <a href="http://www.roberthalftechnology.com/">http://www.roberthalftechnology.com/</a>

<p>This month's topic: What's inside a JVM?</p>
<p>Are you interested in learning what a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is and what it does for your Java applications? This presentation will provide insight into the inner workings of a Java Virtual Machine and some drill down on what compilers and garbage collectors do, so that you don't have to worry about it while programming your Java application.</p>
<p>In particular, you will learn about common optimizations, well established garbage collection algorithms, and what the current biggest challenge with Java scalability is today.</p>
<hr>
<p>Speaker: Eva Andreasson</p>
<p>Eva has been involved with Java virtual machine technologies, SOA, Cloud, and other enterprise middleware solutions for the past 10 years. Joined the startup Appeal Virtual Solutions in 2001, as a developer of JRockit JVM, which later was acquired by BEA Systems. Eva holds two patents on Garbage Collection heuristics and algorithms, and pioneered Deterministic Garbage Collection which later became productized through JRockit Real Time.</p>
<p>Eva has worked closely with Sun and Intel on many technical partnerships, as well as various integration projects of JRockit Product Group, Weblogic, and Coherence (post the Oracle acquisition in 2008). Most recently Eva joined Azul Systems in 2009, as the Product Manager for the new Zing Java Platform.</p>
<p>Eva holds a Master of Science from the Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, and a B.S with a Minor in Economics from the University of Stockholm.</p>

<p>PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then Q&A, discussion, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)</p>
<p>Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't <em>have</em> to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up!</p>
<p>Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, at a location determined ad hoc (lately, Trees restaurant in the same building).</p>

<p>PRESENTATIONS:
* Ezra Zygmuntowicz will give a deep technical talk about the Cloud Foundry system he's been working on at VMWare. It's an open source Platform-as-a-Service that plays well with different hosting platforms, frameworks and services. It's written entirely in Ruby and uses bleeding edge features of 1.9, fibers, EventMachine, etc. He'll walk us through the bits and pieces -- no "marketecture", only architecture and deep tech.
* Brian Ford will talk about the new Rubinius 2.0 -- <a href="http://rubini.us/2011/06/07/inside-rubinius-20-preview/">http://rubini.us/2011/06/07/inside-rubinius-20-preview/</a>

<p>This month's topic: Lean Mobile Data and Open Source: Storage, Messaging and Analysis</p>
<p>This talk will provide a overview of Urban Airship's core data warehouse architecture - a system designed to handle capture, intake and analysis of data for 100s of millions of mobile devices with near real time precision. The talk will touch on Urban Airship's use of HBase, Hadoop Core, ZooKeeper, Kafka as well as home-grown services. Time permitting, the talk will also cover how Urban Airship takes a lean approach to working with volumes of data including the use of ad-hoc tools such as Pig and Cascading as well as how the company leverages the data architecture for fast customer discovery and innovations.</p>
<hr>
<p>Speaker: Erik Onnen</p>
<p>Erik Onnen is the Hadoop and Analytics Lead at Urban Airship, the Portland-based leader in mobile application engagement services. He has over 10 years in distributed systems experience including the design and implementation of multiple "big data" systems. Erik joined Urban Airship in October of 2010, prior to that he was a Principal Engineer at Jive Software.</p>

<div class="description">
<p>The Ruby programming language continues to be popular for web development and other uses in Portland and beyond. Come talk about what you’re working on, and find out what other people are using Ruby for.</p>
<p>If you'd like to give a short talk (3-10 minutes), please prepare and mention it at the beginning of the meeting so we can add you to the agenda. We'll spend the rest of the time on open discussions, which will be awesome.</p>
<p>The Portland Ruby Brigade (pdxruby) meets regularly to discuss these topics. See <a href="http://pdxruby.org">http://pdxruby.org</a> for details.</p>
<p>IMPORTANT: If you don’t already have a ticket for the Open Source Bridge conference, you’ll need to either buy one or register for a free “Community Pass” that will let you into the Friday unconference, Hacker Lounge and the evening BoFs: <a href="http://osbridge.eventbrite.com/">http://osbridge.eventbrite.com/</a></p>

<p><i>GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland Oregon area. Join other developers for presentations and discussions about Ruby and its uses.</i></p>
<p>VENUE: The building entrance is on SW Columbia between 2nd and 3rd Avenue. The door may be locked, but there's a guard on site that will let you in and you can use the doorbell to summon them. Ask the guard nicely to let you up to the 2nd floor conference room, the elevators require them to use a key card. When you get to the 2nd floor, just follow the "pdxruby" signs. This meeting space is kindly offered to us by Robert Half Technology, a company that provides IT staffing services and positions: <a href="http://www.roberthalftechnology.com/">http://www.roberthalftechnology.com/</a></p>

<p>This month's topic: Comparing JSON libraries</p>
<p>JSON has become the de-facto data interchange format for Internet web services. We'll examine open source libraries that make it easy for a Java developer to serialize objects to JSON. This presentation will include a discussion of three popular Java libraries ( json.org, Jackson, and GSON ) as well as a popular Scala library (lift-json).</p>
<hr>
<p>Speaker: Sean Sullivan</p>
<p>Sean is a software engineer specializing in web services development, mobile applications, and supply chain management systems. Sean works on e-commerce projects at Gilt Groupe's Portland office. Sean is an Apache Software Foundation committer and has contributed to various open source projects, including the OAuth Java library.</p>
<hr>
<p>PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then Q&A, discussion, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)</p>
<p>Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't <em>have</em> to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up!</p>
<p>Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, usually at Tree's restaurant in building lobby.</p>

<p>This month's topic: Apache CXF Web Services</p>
<p>Apache CXF offers the most flexible support for both REST and SOAP of any Java web services stack, including support for different XML data bindings and JSON output for REST web services.</p>
<p>In this presentation you'll see how to implement and deploy CXF web services, using both Java standards including JAX-RS and JAX-WS and custom CXF extensions. You'll also learn about the different configuration options supported by CXF, including Spring-based, annotation-based, and direct configuration in code, and get an idea of how easily web services projects can be implemented using CXF. Finally, you'll see how CXF fits into the Apache open source SOA infrastructure.</p>
<hr>
<p>Speaker: Dennis Sosnoski</p>
<p>Dennis Sosnoski (<a href="http://sosnoski.com/">http://sosnoski.com/</a>) is an internationally recognized expert on SOA and web services in Java. He's been helping organizations worldwide with their XML and web services projects for the last 12 years.</p>
<p>Dennis is also active in the Java community, as a frequent speaker at users groups and conferences, a writer for IBM developer Works Java and SOA/Web services zones, a committer on both Apache Axis2 and CXF web services projects, and the lead developer of other open source projects including the JiBX XML data binding tool.</p>
<hr>
<p>PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then Q&A, discussion, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)</p>
<p>Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't <em>have</em> to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up!</p>
<p>Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, at a location determined ad hoc (lately, Trees restaurant in the same building).</p>

<p>In this episode of Code N Splode, Sarah Sharp will lead an exploration of an Android App called Garden Weather Alert. We'll cover some of the basics of Android App structure: intents, activities, and services. Sarah will also show the app development workflow in the Eclipse Android SDK, and how to debug apps. If time permits, we'll talk about storage and background services.</p>
<p>The git repo for the app is here:</p>
<p><a href="https://github.com/sarahsharp/gardengeek">https://github.com/sarahsharp/gardengeek</a></p>
<p>The android app source code is under the src/android-get-temp/ directory. Feel free to browse the source code history to see how Sarah has added functionality over time.</p>
<p>**Note: Code-n-Splode (CnS) is a women-focused group. All women are invited to attend and participate, and men are welcome as the guest of a female participant.</p>

<p>tl;dr: Python Module Thunderdome, Pythonic Trivia, wear Halloween costume if you like, please RSVP: <a href="http://www.meetup.com/pdxpython/events/33445392">http://www.meetup.com/pdxpython/events/33445392</a></p>
<p>This Tuesday at 6:30pm at Urban Airship we'll be celebrating October with the Second Annual PDX Python MODULE THUNDERDOOOOOME. We still don't really know what the rules are, but it was fun last year so we're doing it again. :)</p>
<p>In the Thunderdome ring so far we have: Nick Wilson, Dan Colish, Chris McDonald and Kyle Jones. Are you up for a round in the dome? Pick a module in stdlib or PyPI and bring a 5 minute Michel's Module of the Month-style presentation to the meeting. All are welcome to compete! If you want to make sure no one else is doing your module, let me know (<a href="mailto:michelle@pdxpython.org">michelle@pdxpython.org</a> / @pythonchelle) what you're thinking and I'll find out.</p>
<p>After the module throw down, Rob Bednark has created a Python-themed trivia game for us to play!</p>
<p>*** New this year: The Dome is close-ish to Halloween, and some competitors have talked about dressing up like the module they're representing. Why not? Dressing up is fun, and fun things are fun. (Still not sure if a costume will affect the results.) I am going to wear my Halloween costume, which has nothing to do with Python or modules, but does include some fake blood and a couple props. I might also bring some Halloween candy. Feel free to wear a costume, bring some candy to share, or none of the above, but please do join us!</p>

<p>This month's topic: Continuous Integration in a Java Environment</p>
<p>This is a discussion about being agile with continuous integration (CI) in a Java enterprise. Topics covered will include:
* Continuous integration tools
* To branch or not to branch?
* When to commit
* When to build
* Self-testing builds
* Build storage</p>

<p>Speaker: James Price</p>
<p>James Price joined Clearwater Analytics in November 2004 and has been the Director of Development for over 6 years. James brings more than 13 years of experience in software development, having previously worked at Hewlett Packard and CQG Inc. as a developer and lead architect.</p>
<hr>
<p>PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then Q&A, discussion, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)</p>
<p>Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't <em>have</em> to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up!</p>
<p>Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, at a location determined ad hoc (lately, Trees restaurant in the same building).</p>

<p>This month's topic: Portlet Integration with Cloud Based Services Twilio and PubNub</p>
<p>We will be discussing 2 open source portlets for Liferay that I recently created which integrates Twilio and PubNub. Twilio provides infrastructure APIs for businesses to build scalable, reliable voice and text messaging apps. PubNub provides eal-time push notification PLUS unique device to device mass broadcasting. We'll look at easy of use of these 2 APIs and the Spring MVC portlets that wrap them.</p>
<p>Led by Chris Buckley, founder of the Portland Liferay User Group, join us to learn:</p>
<pre><code>PubNub - Cloud Service Java API
Twilio - Cloud Service Java API
Wrapping the services with Spring MVC Portlets
Deploying them with Liferay
</code></pre>
<p>More information on the portlets and the projects can be found at: <a href="http://puresrc.com/web/guest/knowledge">http://puresrc.com/web/guest/knowledge</a></p>

<p>Speaker: Chris Buckley</p>
<p>Chris is co-founder and CEO of Pure Src (pure source), an enterprise portal implementation and development group, and the Portland Liferay User Group Founder. Prior to forming Pure Src, he was senior web architect at Rbx Global a mid-size software engineering firm supporting educational and government agencies. Chris has been actively involved in Open Source development for more than 9 years, committing or contributing to to projects like the Apache UIMA project and Liferay. Chris currently lives in Portland, OR and spends his time playing Soccer and chauffeuring his kids to Soccer and Gymnastics when he’s not programming.</p>
<hr>
<p>PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then Q&A, discussion, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)</p>
<p>Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't <em>have</em> to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up!</p>
<p>Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, at a location determined ad hoc (lately, Trees restaurant in the same building).</p>

<p>This month's topic: Running Java, Scala, Play!, and Tapestry Apps on the Cloud</p>
<p>Heroku is a Polyglot Cloud Application Platform that supports Java, Scala. This session will teach you how to deploy apps using a "git push". The session will also address the importance of the share-nothing architecture for cloud scalability and alternatives to sticky sessions and session replication.</p>

He has also published numerous screencasts, blogs, and technical articles. Starting with Pascal and Assembly in the 80's, James found his passion for writing code. Beginning in the 90's he began doing web development with HTML, Perl/CGI, then Java.

<p>PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then Q&A, discussion, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)</p>
<p>Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't <em>have</em> to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up!</p>
<p>Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, at a location determined ad hoc. (Note: Trees restaurant is now closed, so we will have to go elsewhere!)</p>

<p>We are going to switch it up this month with PDX-UX's first group
workshop. We'll present you with a small UX challenged interface in
need of some pretty, some information design and even some data
visualization skills. You and your peers will form groups and nosh on
some solutions. Bring your brains and a laptop if you have one, and
we'll provide the pens, giant pads of paper, food and drinks. We'll
also be giving away some free books on data visualization courtesy of O'Reilly Media. Please RSVP at Plancast! <a href="http://t.co/yVvPR5qt">http://t.co/yVvPR5qt</a></p>

<p>This month's topic: Giving your Application Thumbs</p>
<p>Mobile phone texting (txting) is now ubiquitous - a comfortable UI to everybody that has a cell phone. With most age groups, the time spent texting far exceeds time making voice calls. Logically, Java developers should be considering txt interfaces to their applications.</p>
<p>We will look at adding mobile txt interfaces to three applications:
- A mobile web healthcare application with group push txt notification to other caregivers of an event
- An iPad POS web application for ordering from your car via txt from your mobile phone
- An installed Swing application to display group txting for public display</p>
<hr>
<p>Speaker: Jon Batcheller</p>
<p>Jon is the founder of PJUG and Java architect and UI developer for RealPage in Wilsonville, OR. He has been writing in Java since his first taste in version 0.9, 17 years ago! In addition to being a code monkey, Jon is a licensed Veterinarian, owns two bars, is an auctioneer and in his spare time teaches Human Anatomy and Physiology at PCC. Having never missed a JavaOne since their inception in 1996, he hopes to see you there in the Fall!</p>
<hr>
<p>PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then Q&A, discussion, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)</p>
<p>Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't <em>have</em> to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up!</p>
<p>Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, at a location determined ad hoc.</p>

<p>10gen: Intro to MongoDB and Schema Design</p>
<p>One of the challenges that comes with moving to MongoDB is figuring
how to best model your data. While most developers have internalized
the rules of thumb for designing schemas for RDBMSs, these rules don't
always apply to MongoDB. The simple fact that documents can represent
rich, schema-free data structures means that we have a lot of viable
alternatives to the standard, normalized, relational model. Not only
that, MongoDB has several unique features, such as atomic updates and
indexed array keys, that greatly influence the kinds of schemas that
make sense. Understandably, this begets good questions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Are foreign keys permissible, or is it better to represent one-to-
many relations withing a single document?</li>
<li>Are join tables necessary, or is there another technique for building
out many-to-many relationships?</li>
<li>What level of denormalization is appropriate?</li>
<li>How do my data modeling decisions affect the efficiency of updates
and queries?</li>
</ul>
<p>In this session, we'll answer these questions and more, provide a
number of data modeling rules of thumb, and discuss the tradeoffs of
various data modeling strategies.</p>
<p><i>ABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland Oregon area. Join other developers for presentations and discussions about Ruby, libraries, tools and techniques. The group usually meets on the first Tuesday of the month, "Ruby Tuesday".</i></p>

<p>This month's topic: Production-Ready Web Services with Dropwizard</p>
<p>Dropwizard is a Java framework for developing ops-friendly, high-performance, RESTful web services. The library was developed at Yammer and has been adopted by Simple (formerly BankSimple) and the Gilt Groupe. We will discuss how Gilt is using Dropwizard and why we adopted the library.</p>
<hr>
<p>Speaker: Sean Sullivan</p>
<p>Sean is a software engineer specializing in e-commerce systems, web services development, and mobile applications. Sean works on back-office applications at the Gilt Groupe and has contributed to various open source projects, including the OAuth Java library and OpenID4Java.</p>
<hr>
<p>PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then Q&A, discussion, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)</p>
<p>Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't <em>have</em> to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up!</p>
<p>Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, typically at a nearby location determined ad hoc.</p>

<p>This month we’re discussing the “Value of Bad Ideas.” When we create, we try to do the best work we can. There's not room for failure, but within the messy grey area of the creative process, there's plenty of room for bad ideas. In fact, bad ideas can often lead to the best solutions.</p>
<p>Our speaker, Ben Cerezo, helps make things simple to understand and intuitive for people to use.
Ben’s background - From logo and identity development to complex application and web design, Ben has spent nearly ten years designing solutions to a variety of communications and design problems for clients of all sizes. He believes in the power of open collaboration and enjoys working with other designers, development engineers and clients, from discovery and strategy through implementation.</p>

<p>This month's topic: JavaFX 2 is the future of RIA development</p>
<p>JavaFX 2 is the future of RIA development. It takes the power of a modern scene graph, adds rich animation and multimedia capabilities, and extends to the web and beyond with seamless portability. At the same time, it leverages the power and breadth of the Java language and platform, allowing full access to existing Java libraries and integration with Java client technologies like Swing.</p>
<p>This session will introduce you to the JavaFX 2 platform from the perspective of a seasoned Java developer. The breadth of JavaFX APIs will be explained through several examples that we will build out during the course of the session. In addition, we will showcase SceneBuilder, the new JavaFX-based GUI building tool for rapid application development. If you have heard about JavaFX before, but were not sure about taking the plunge, now is the time to see what you have been missing out on.</p>
<p>This talk will provide a theory of operations, systems description and possibly a demo of a live system. All code will be made available on Github.</p>
<hr>
<p>Speaker: Stephen Chin</p>
<p>Stephen Chin is a Java Evangelist at Oracle specializing in UI technology and co-author of the Pro JavaFX Platform 2 title, which is the leading technical reference for JavaFX. He has been featured at Java conferences around the world including Devoxx, Codemash, OSCON, J-Fall, GeeCON, Jazoon, and JavaOne, where he twice received a Rock Star Award. In his evenings and weekends, Stephen is an open-source hacker, working on projects including ScalaFX, a DSL for JavaFX in the Scala language, Visage, a UI oriented JVM language, JFXtras, a JavaFX component and extension library, and Apropos, an Agile Project Portfolio scheduling tool written in JavaFX. Stephen can be followed on twitter @steveonjava and reached via his blog: <a href="http://steveonjava.com/">http://steveonjava.com/</a></p>
<hr>
<p>PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then Q&A, discussion, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)</p>
<p>Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't <em>have</em> to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up!</p>
<p>Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, at a location determined ad hoc.</p>

<p>Topic: Internet Relay Chat (IRC) How To</p>
<p>Lots of open source projects and companies rely on IRC for internal communication, but many people don't feel comfortable using it. Christie Koehler will present a hands-on guide for getting up and running with IRC.</p>

<p>Topic: Techy Sexagenarians; Speaker: Jen Davidson</p>
<p>What are you going to do when you retire? Contribute to open source software, right? Do all those side-projects you never get around to doing while working? The first generation of programmers are retiring right now, and I plan to examine their experience contributing to open source software. Most open source communities are notoriously homogeneous, dominated by 20-30something white males. Through my research, I hope to provide open source communities with a proposal for involving older adults. During the talk, I'll go over my research goals, how I plan meet those goals, and discuss some of the human-computer interaction research methods that I'm using. If you want to know more about life as a computer science/human-computer interaction PhD student, we can talk about that too.</p>
<p>**Note: Code-n-Splode (CnS) is a women-focused group. All self-identified women and genderqueer persons are invited to attend and participate, and men are welcome as the guest of a female participant.</p>
<p>Please, no fragrances (perfumes, scented lotions, etc.), to make our meetings welcoming to those with chemical sensitivities.</p>

<p>PRESENTATIONS</p>
<ul>
<li>Markus Roberts: <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/pdxruby/cK0bo_zYBX4">hangman</a> - "It was a quiet night. The API was RESTful, but the developers weren't."</li>
<li>Ed Phillips will give a short talk on design principles within Rails:
"For reasons of pragmatism and economy, I'll focus on test design. My current conscious thought on these principles has been reinvigorated by Sandi Metz, so I'll lean heavily on her work, as well as on Avdi's from Objects on Rails."</li>
<li><p>Lennon Day-Reynolds, now working at Twitter, will present "Ruby programming in the large". He'll talk about issues related to having hundreds of engineers working in a very small number of Ruby/Rails repositories, and what has and hasn't worked. He'll touch on process and culture, as well as architectural and technical solutions.</p></li>
<li><p>...and lots of great group discussions on Ruby-related topics.</p></li>
</ul>

<div class="description">
<p>Join us for the first meeting of the Portland Node users group. We'll have food, code, and a lovely presentation about Terraformer from Esri by Jerry Sievert.</p>
<p>What is Terraformer?
A library for converting geographic data between different mapping formats and GeoJSON.". But it's more than that, it's a Geo-Toolkit that works in node as well as in the browser via AMD or CommonJS, providing tools for reading and writing from multiple geo formats, converting to and from web mercator, an RTree index, and some simple polygon tools.</p>
<p>You can check it out at <a href="https://github.com/geoloqi/Terraformer">https://github.com/geoloqi/Terraformer</a></p>
<p>We'll also get cracking on what direction we'd like to take the group!</p>

<p><i>ABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade, also known as pdxruby and pdx.rb, is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland, Oregon area. The group welcomes all programmers interested in the language and its implementations, tools, libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails. The group has been meeting since August 2002 for presentations, demos and discussions. Every month 35-75 people come together to share their knowledge, projects and enthusiasm for Ruby. If you'd like to present or have a topic you'd like discussed, please post to the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/pdxruby">mailing list</a>. The group usually meets on the first Tuesday of the month, "Ruby Tuesday" -- see you there!

<p>PRESENTATIONS</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Markus Roberts: Ruby Hangman: <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/pdxruby/OeaZCq4JHUM">https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/pdxruby/OeaZCq4JHUM</a></p></li>
<li><p>David Celis and Ben Weintraub will talk about interesting performance issues.</p></li>
<li><p>Nic Benders from New Relic, "Get Your Ass to 1.9": Ruby 1.9 has been out for four years, everyone is telling you that it's great, but you've got this <em>one</em> production app (or maybe twelve) that is just sooo complicated and it looks like such a hassle to convert.... No more excuses people, it's 2013, let's get this thing done! I gave a version of this at Ruby on Ales last month, but we ran out of time and couldn't do questions. Since PDX Ruby is less formal, I am going to do it shorter, but with Q&A as we go. So bring your pointy sticks and lets have some fun.</p></li>
<li><p>Jonan Scheffler, "Hacking Cognition": This presentation will offer you some immediately actionable steps to improve your cognitive ability and be more efficient with your programming studies. You’ll learn techniques mnemonists use to memorize random pages of binary digits, how your brain physically changes as you learn something new and how simple changes in your daily routine can have a deep impact on your work.</p></li>
<li><p>...and lots of great group discussions on Ruby-related topics.</p></li>
</ul>
<p><i>ABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade, also known as pdxruby and pdx.rb, is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland, Oregon area. The group welcomes all programmers interested in the language and its implementations, tools, libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails. The group has been meeting since August 2002 for presentations, demos and discussions. Every month 35-75 people come together to share their knowledge, projects and enthusiasm for Ruby. If you'd like to present or have a topic you'd like discussed, please post to the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/pdxruby">mailing list</a>. The group usually meets on the first Tuesday of the month, "Ruby Tuesday" -- see you there!

<p>Topic: FOSS Outreach Program for Women (OPW)
Speaker: Sarah Sharp</p>
<p>For the last three years, the GNOME Foundation has worked to improve the number of women involved in open source, by offering internships through the FOSS Outreach Program for Women (OPW). Women and genderqueer or genderfluid interns receive $5,000 for working for three months on one of 16 different open source projects.</p>
<p>The Linux kernel (a notoriously unfriendly project) joined OPW for the first time this year, and the response was really amazing:</p>
<p>41 women applied for 6 Linux kernel internships. 18 of those women submitted at least one kernel patch.</p>
<p>In 13 days, 374 patches were submitted, and 137 patches were accepted.</p>
<p>Diff stat for accepted patches:
105 files changed, 3889 insertions(+), 4872 deletions(-)</p>
<p>Sarah Sharp will talk about OPW, in order to encourage women to apply for the next round of OPW, and explain how more experienced women can become OPW mentors.</p>
<p>**Note: Code-n-Splode (CnS) is a women-focused group. All self-identified women and genderqueer persons are invited to attend and participate, and men are welcome as the guest of a female participant.</p>
<p>For more information, visit our website, or send an email to <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/code-n-splode">our list</a>.</p>

<ul>
<li>Kerri Miller: You Can't Miss What You Can't Measure<br>
Adrift at sea, a GPS device will report your precise latitude and longitude, but if you don't know what those numbers mean, you're just as lost as before. Similarly, there are many tools that offer a wide variety of metrics about your code, but other than making you feel good, what are you supposed to do with this knowledge? Let's answer that question by exploring what the numbers mean, how static code analysis can add value to your development process, and how it can help us chart the unexplored seas of legacy code.</li>
<li>Markus Roberts: Ruby MRH (Most Recent Hangman)

<p>Thanks to CrowdCompass for hosting Ruby meetings every Tuesday!</p>
<p>PRESENTATIONS</p>
<ul>
<li>Markus Roberts: Ruby Hangman</li>
<li>David Celis and Ben Weintraub talk about interesting performance issues.</li>
<li>Sam Livingston-Gray: Fluent Refactoring</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<p>Fluency is "what you can say without having to think about how to say it." Refactoring is a language that describes ways you can make your code better. I want to inspire you to learn more of that language, so you can make your code better without having to think about it.</p>
<p>I'll walk through the process of reworking a 50-line controller action that resists comprehension, let alone refactoring. We'll discover how to tease apart some fiendishly intertwined code, embrace duplication, use dirty tricks to our advantage, and uncover responsibilities that weren't obvious when we started.</p>
<p>NOTE TO PDX.rb: I'll be giving this talk at Lone Star Ruby Conf in a few weeks. This will be a full run-through of the work in
progress—slides may be incomplete, points may be muddled, jokes may not be <em>quite</em> as funny as they should be, and (time permitting) I'll ask you for feedback and suggestions at the end.</p>
<p>This presentation will be given without warranty of any kind, either
expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied
warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
Listen at your own risk. ;></p>
</blockquote>
<p><i>ABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade, also known as pdxruby and pdx.rb, is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland, Oregon area. The group welcomes all programmers interested in the language and its implementations, tools, libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails. The group has been meeting since August 2002 for presentations, demos and discussions. Every month 35-75 people come together to share their knowledge, projects and enthusiasm for Ruby. If you'd like to present or have a topic you'd like discussed, please post to the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/pdxruby">mailing list</a>. The group usually meets on the first Tuesday of the month, "Ruby Tuesday" -- see you there!

The group has been meeting since August 2002 for presentations, demos and discussions. Every month 35-75 people come together to share their knowledge, projects and enthusiasm for Ruby. If you'd like to present or have a topic you'd like discussed, please post to the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/pdxruby">mailing list</a>. The group usually meets on the first Tuesday of the month, "Ruby Tuesday" -- see you there!

<p>PRE-MEETING DINNER at 6pm</p>
<p>We'll have pizza, so stop by early if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations.</p>
<p>PRESENTATIONS at 7pm:</p>
<ul>
<li>Robb Shecter: Code management from the organization's perspective</li>
<li>Jason Clark: <a href="http://rubyconf.org/program#jason-r-clark">Extending Gems - Patterns and Anti-Patterns of Making Your Gem Pluggable</a>
</li>
<li>Markus Roberts: Ruby Hangman</li>
</ul>
<p>BEER & SNACKS at 9pm</p>
<p>After presentations we'll have more socializing time with beer & snacks.</p>
<p>ARRIVING BY BIKE?</p>
<p>Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 28th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the tool booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." Go in there, and ride on up to the 28th floor. You'll easily find the bike parking.</p>
<p>Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month!</p>

<p><strong> Our Nov & Dec 2013 meetings will be at New Relic instead of our usual location, CrowdCompass </strong></p>
<p>PRE-MEETING DINNER at 6pm</p>
<p>We'll have pizza, so stop by early if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations.</p>
<p>PRESENTATIONS at 7pm:</p>
<ul>
<li>Markus Roberts: Ruby Hangman</li>
<li>Robb Shecter lightning talk: Intellectual Property in a Nutshell</li>
<li>Davy Stevenson & Eric Hodel & Rein Henrichs: <a href="http://rubyconf.org/program#davy-stevenson-eric-hodel-rein-henrichs">Arrrr me hearty! Sailing the Seas of DRb in a Shoe</a>
</li>
</ul>
<p>BEER & SNACKS at 9pm</p>
<p>After presentations we'll have more socializing/pirating time with beer & snacks.</p>
<p>ARRIVING BY BIKE?</p>
<p>Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 28th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 28th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking.</p>
<p>Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month!</p>

<p>ARRIVING BY BIKE?</p>
<p>Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 28th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 28th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking.</p>
<p>Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month!</p>

<li><strong>Markus Roberts: Ruby hangman</strong></li>
<li>

Covering the basics of benchmarking in Ruby, application to HTTP load testing, and some gotchas along the way.</li>
<li>
<strong><a href="http://railsconf.com/program#sessions">Jason Clark: <em>Make an Event of It!</em> </a></strong><br>
Are your controllers jumbled with seemingly unrelated steps? Does testing any bit of application logic require fixtures and setup helpers a mile long?<br>
Evented patterns create a vocabulary of what happens in your system, and a way to separate code triggering events from code that responds to them. That helps tame the sprawl by setting clean boundaries, simplifying tests, and keeping your dependencies isolated.<br>
This talk reveals the power of events and what's already in Rails to help you.</li>
<li>
<strong><a href="http://railsconf.com/program#sessions">Chuck Lauer Vose: <em>Building kick-ass internal education programs (for large and small budgets)</em> </a></strong><br>
There are not enough senior programmers in the world to satisfy the needs of our organizations; but educating your own developers is crazy expensive and hard, right?<br>
It turns out there lots of effective, low-cost, low commitment ways to inject education into your organization, I'll show you some of the low commitment ways to engage your peers, how to evaluate your needs, how to measure your progress, and how to plan for future ed needs.</li>
</ul>
<p>After presentations we'll have more socializing time.</p>

<strong>Sam Livingston-Gray: <em><br>Cognitive Shortcuts: Models, Visualizations, Metaphors, and Other Lies </em></strong><br>
Experienced developers tend to build up a library of creative problem-solving tools: rubber ducks, code smells, anthropomorphizing code, &c.
These tools map abstract problems into forms our brains are good at solving. But our brains are also good at lying to us.
We'll talk about some of these tools, when to use them (or not), and how their biases can lead us astray.<br>
“A change in perspective is worth 80 IQ points.” -Alan Kay<br>
New developers very welcome: we don't teach this in school!</li>

<p>After presentations we'll have more socializing time with beer & snacks.</p>

<p>ARRIVING BY BIKE? Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 28th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 28th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking.</p>

<ul>
<li>Markus Roberts: "Thinking Outside the Framework"</li>
<li>Brent Miller: "Interfaces change your brain”</li>
<li>Jason Clark: Shoes hackathon</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<p>Jason will give an intro to the <a href="http://shoesrb.com/">Shoes</a> codebase, then folks can hack and answer questions together.</p>
<p>Try to have the following installed in advance. Jason can help if you have problems with these during the hack, but otherwise it'll save a lot of hacking time.</p>
<ul>
<li>A recent 1.7.x JRuby installed (this is the big one)</li>
<li>Clone of <a href="https://github.com/shoes/shoes4">https://github.com/shoes/shoes4</a>
</li>
<li>
<code>bundle install</code> on JRuby from the shoes4 source directory</li>
<li>Try running <code>bin/shoes samples/simple-face.rb</code> from the shoes4 directory and should see an app launch.</li>
</ul>
<p>You're welcome to hack on non-Shoes stuff too. If anyone would like to lead a different hack session, let us know!</p>
</blockquote>
<p>After presentations we'll have more socializing time.</p>
<h2>Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month!</h2>

<p>ARRIVING BY BIKE? Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 29th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 29th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking.</p>

<p>ARRIVING BY BIKE? Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 29th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 29th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking.</p>

<p>The team needs to build a product. The team readily recognizes the testers’ need to work with the developers but the same team often doesn’t consider that the testers also need to work with the UX staff. Often the UX staff is tucked away in a different part of the office, working with multiple teams and yet rarely working directly with the testers. Why? How can testers review a product without a good understanding of the design? Testers need closer access to UX and UX would benefit from working directly with the testers. Karen highlights specific design areas where UX and testing pair well.</p>

<ul>
<li>Amy Pivo: RailsBridge Portland introduction</li>
<li>Markus Roberts: a little hangman-esque puzzle</li>
<li>Ben Orenstein (host of the Giant Robots podcast, other talks: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DC-pQPq0acs">Refactoring from Good to Great</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9JXH7JPjR4">How to Talk to Developers</a>): "Live-coding Flappy Bird in ClojureScript"</li>
<li>Jason Clark: "Get Your Shoes (Back) On!"
Years ago the enigmatic Rubyist _why created Shoes, a tiny GUI toolkit for writing fun, simple applications in Ruby. Shoes served as the foundation for Hackety Hack, a programming environment specially designed to be accessible to kids.
In the wake of _why's departure, many people assumed Shoes was finished as well. Such is not the case!
Shoes has continued to evolve and grow, and the latest revision (Shoes4) builds off the cross-platform strengths of JRuby and SWT. If you've ever wanted to write a desktop app as easily as you write a web page, Shoes is for you. If you've ever wanted to get involved in a welcoming, accessible open source project, we'll show you how to hack on Shoes.
Get your Shoes on, and let's build something awesome!</li>

<h1>PRESENTATIONS at 7pm</h1>
<h3>Mike Perham: <em>Tribute to Ezra Zygmuntowicz</em>
</h3>
<h3>Davy Stevenson: <em>Benchmarking Ruby</em>
</h3>
<p>Testing is firmly ingrained in our culture, and many of us rely on a network of services to test, evaluate and profile our code. But what about benchmarking?</p>
<p>Learn tips and tricks about how to approach benchmarking and the variety of gems that are available. Learn about tools to help determine algorithmic complexity of your code, as well as how this information can help you make development choices. Learn how to properly set up your benchmarking experiments to ensure that the results you receive are accurate. More importantly, discover that benchmarking can be both fun and easy.

<h3>Markus Roberts: <em>Thinking Outside the Framework</em>
</h3>
<h3>Jonan Scheffler: <em>Sauron: DIY Home Security with Ruby!</em>
</h3>
<p>This is the story of how I built an all-seeing eye with Ruby, and how I use it to defend the sanctity of my suburban home.
Using a Raspberry Pi and some homemade motion detection software I've developed a home security system that can send me notifications on my phone and photograph intruders. It uses perceptual hashes to detect image changes and archives anything unusual. I can even set a custom alerting threshold and graph disturbances over time.
If you've ever had the desire to be an evil wizard with a glowing fireball of an eye this talk is perfect for you. Come play with Sauron.

<p>ARRIVING BY BIKE? Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 29th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 29th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking.</p>

As the Wiggles application moves to be enterprise ready, performance becomes a big concern.</p>
<h3>Jamon Holmgren: <em>RubyMotion and ProMotion</em>
</h3>
<p>I'm the owner of ClearSight, a Rails + RubyMotion (iOS & Android) design/development shop in Vancouver, WA. We do a lot of RubyMotion here at ClearSight and created one of the most popular RubyMotion gems, <a href="https://github.com/clearsightstudio/ProMotion">ProMotion</a>, as well as <a href="https://github.com/motion-kit/motion-kit/">MotionKit</a> and several other iOS-specific open source gems. The talk goes into RubyMotion basics (briefly) and then our current iOS gem stack. The demo is building a small app with ProMotion and shows how easy it is to get started with RubyMotion-iOS.</p>
<h3>Chris Dillon: <em>Dream - music video in Ruby</em>
</h3>
<p>A show-and-tell animation followed by a dive into the Gamebox gem, pixel art, music production (light on this). How to create parallax scenes and other visualization things.</p>

<h1>PRESENTATIONS at 7pm</h1>
<h3>Community retrospective</h3>
<p>We're going to take 30 min to discuss the group and the mailing list and how we participate together.</p>
<h3>Samuel Giddins: Using Ruby in a Non-Ruby World</h3>
<p>Ruby is an incredible language that we all love to code in. But it's also a language that lends itself to being used in other ecosystems, in other 'worlds'. Ruby is an incredibly useful tool for building DSLs that look more like data than code. It's also a very portable language with a strong, standardized toolchain that makes it a go-to choice for client-side tooling. I'm going to walk through the ways in which we, as rubyists, can build systems that cooperate with a non-Ruby environment.</p>
<h3>Ruby Jobs Storytime</h3>
<p>5 min talks about people's experiences looking for and finding jobs (and conversely from the hiring side, experiences looking for and hiring engineers for their teams). These talks would probably not need slides, just a person willing to provide their experience. The types of things people could talk about include:</p>
<ul>
<li>A new developer’s experience trying to get their first programming job</li>
<li>A seasoned developer’s tips and tricks for finding and getting a great job</li>
<li>A story about how someone got their job in a non-traditional way</li>
<li>Information from a hiring manager or engineer involved in hiring about what they look for</li>
<li>Any other type of story in the same vein</li>
</ul>
<h1></h1>
<p>After presentations we'll have more socializing time.</p>
<h1>Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month!</h1>

<p>ARRIVING BY BIKE? Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 29th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 29th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking.</p>
<p><em>ABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade, also known as pdxruby and pdx.rb, is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland, Oregon area. The group welcomes all programmers interested in the language and its implementations, tools, libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails. The group has been meeting since August 2002 for presentations, demos and discussions. Every month 35-75 people come together to share their knowledge, projects and enthusiasm for Ruby. If you'd like to present or have a topic you'd like discussed, please post to the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/pdxruby">mailing list</a>.

<p>SQAUG
Presents:</p>
<p>Non-Expert Automation Testing (NEAT)</p>
<p>by Loren Brown</p>
<p>at
Con-Way
2055 NW Savier, Portland, OR 97209
on
Wednesday March 18, 2015
5:30pm until 7:30pm</p>
<p>Event is FREE and Open to the Public</p>
<p>Non-Expert Automation Testing (NEAT) is an automation testing framework that enables non-experts to harness the power of data-driven, Selenium automation tests. The NEAT web portal simplifies and guides the creation of otherwise complex scripts through the use of an intuitive user interface that manages a web element object repository, test case input data, and test scripts. This approach is intended to enable test script automation to be completed in hours or days instead of weeks or months. The motivation behind NEAT is to equip business analysts, without automation expertise, with an intuitive tool to create and execute sophisticated, automated end-to-end testing scripts. This framework enables teams to increase automated test coverage and allows the highly skilled automation developers to focus on more complex automation testing needs of the organization.</p>
<p>About Our Speaker: Loren J. Brown is a Test Automation Architect and owner of Quantum Peg, Inc. He is currently teaming up with John Cvetko from TEK Associates to develop the DEAP testing tool. After obtaining a Bachelor’s in Computer Science at Portland State University, Loren worked for over two decades as a QA Engineer in various capacities. At Intel Corporation he spent a little over a dozen years in various product teams and Intel Labs as a QA Lead in various software projects including Video Conferencing, IP Telephony, TCP/IP Network Performance, and others. He spent over six years at Automatic Data Processing (ADP) as a QA Lead developing various test automation frameworks and harnesses, and multiple software lifecycle data visualization projects. When he carves out time for hobbies, Loren likes tinkering with microcontrollers and small electronics projects.

<p>We'll have pizza & beer starting at 6pm, so stop by early if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations.</p>
<h1>PRESENTATIONS at 7pm</h1>
<h3>Mike Perham: Using Background Jobs with Sidekiq and Rails</h3>
<p>You know how to make a controller and view in Ruby on Rails. But what's a background job? How do I use them to make my website as fast as possible? This talk will introduce the notion of background jobs, why you might want to use them and show how to integrate Sidekiq with your Rails app to make background jobs easy!</p>
<h3>Lightning Talks</h3>
<p>Jonan will be hosting an hour long lightning talk session. There will be a whiteboard to sign up on arrival (first come first serve). The theme is Pokemon so make sure you wear a costume and put Pokemon in all your slides and maybe write a quick song about Pokemon and your love of them. Alternatively just show up and speak.</p>
<h1></h1>
<p>After presentations we'll have more socializing time.</p>
<h1>Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month!</h1>

<p>ARRIVING BY BIKE? Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 29th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 29th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking.</p>
<p><em>ABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade, also known as pdxruby and pdx.rb, is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland, Oregon area.

<p>SQAUG
Presents:</p>
<p>The Importance of Abstraction in Automation Projects
at
Con-Way
2055 NW Savier, Portland, OR 97209
on
Wednesday May 20, 2015
5:30pm until 7:30pm</p>
<p>Event is FREE and Open to the Public</p>
<p>The majority of automation projects fail, most within the first 6-12 months. Initially it’s easy to put something together that works for a small number of test cases, but as the application evolves, the troubleshooting/maintenance needs of the tests quickly overcome the ability of the team. Eventually (around 6-12 months) a new engineer takes over and restarts the automation effort in a new direction, often with the same issues.</p>
<p>This presentation will be focused on how to use the OOP concept of Abstraction to reduce the maintenance costs of automation and extend the life of your frameworks. Additional benefits will be discussed, like the ability to change the Automation Technology without rebuilding all your tests.</p>
<p>These concepts will work with 3rd party automation products like QTP as well as homegrown frameworks. You will get the most value from abstraction when its added at the beginning of the projects, but we will discuss how they can be leverages in larger, existing frameworks.
Level:
Intermediate. Knowledge of automation concepts along with some basic understanding of development practices will be assumed.</p>
<p>All code examples will be shown in C#, but the concepts will apply to any tool or language.</p>

<h1>PRESENTATIONS at 7pm</h1>
<h3>Chase Douglas: Metasecurity - Beyond Patching Vulnerabilities</h3>
<p>Rails comes with many powerful security protections out of the box, but no code is perfect. This talk will highlight a new approach to web app security, one focusing on a higher level of abstraction than current techniques. We will take a look at current security processes and tools and some common vulnerabilities still found in many Rails apps. Then we will investigate novel ways to protect against these vulnerabilities.</p>
<h3>Evan Carmi: Reverse Engineering - Finding the hidden API</h3>
<p>A survey of techniques to debug and reverse engineer services that you may be trying to connect with but don't have an API (like iCloud) or don't have a well documented API (like the rest of the internet).</p>
<h3>Lightning Talks</h3>
<p>Jonan will host a lightning talk session. There will be a whiteboard to sign up on arrival (first come first serve).</p>
<h1></h1>
<p>After presentations we'll have more socializing time.</p>
<h1>Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month!</h1>

<p>ARRIVING BY BIKE? Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 29th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 29th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking.</p>
<p><em>ABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade, also known as pdxruby and pdx.rb, is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland, Oregon area.

<p>SQAUG
Presents:</p>
<p>QA and The Role They Play in Team Dialogue
at
Con-Way
2055 NW Savier, Portland, OR 97209
on
Wednesday June 17, 2015
5:30pm until 7:30pm</p>
<p>Event is FREE and Open to the Public</p>
<p>Dialogue is a contraction from the Greek words for through and words. It suggests an activity aimed at eliciting meaning…</p>
<p>The Greeks introduced the idea that individuals are not intelligent on their own, that it's only by reasoning together that they are able to uncover the truth for themselves. …By questioning and probing each other, carefully dissecting and analyzing ideas, finding the inconsistencies, never attacking or insulting but always searching for what they can accept between them, they can gradually attain deeper understanding and insight.</p>
<p>The role of QA is often seen as one that only reports negatively on the work of others: “…found a bug with your code”; “…the way you designed this isn’t good for the end user”; “…You never include requirements in your stories…and when you do, they lack sufficient details.”</p>
<p>The importance of True Dialogue is that it allows positive reactions and outcomes, from negative input…when done well, the benefits can be extraordinary!</p>
<p>About our speaker: Joe Famme is a Quality Minded individual, who’s been helping to improve the quality of his teams, and the software they work on, for over 20 years. He started in phone support with WordPerfect, in the early nineties. After about a year and a half of that…and the release of Windows 3.0…he discovered the world of QA, and has never looked back.</p>
<p>Besides WordPerfect, Joe’s also worked for internationally known companies Novell, Corel, Intel, and Sage.</p>
<p>Joe’s been working in the Portland Tech Community since 1996. He’s been part of several strong Oregon Companies and several startup companies, .com’s & .bomb’s. And, Joe’s been part of the SQAUG organization since before it became a public group.</p>
<p>In all of his years of being part of the Quality Assurance field, he has found that the quest for the mastery of effective communication and true dialogue has been a key element to success. And, he hopes that some of the dialogue during his presentation provides at least one insight for all attendees to take back to their teams.</p>
<p>Agenda:
5:30-6:00PM: Pizza and Networking
6:00-6:15PM: SQAUG Announcements
6:15-7:30PM: Presentation/Q&A</p>
<p>Details:
· Event is Free to the public
· Onsite parking (directions below)
· Light Hors d'oeuvres and beverages will be served
· No RSVP is required to attend</p>
<p>SQAUG is Portland/Vancouver area’s only Software Quality Assurance User Group! We are in our 3rd year and would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone who would like to participate in a user group dedicated to growing the Quality Assurance field.</p>
<p>SQAUG is made up of a group of SQA professionals who have banded together in an open forum to learn from each other through a series of interactive discussions, engaged debates, training presentations, exploring tools, and general networking and sharing of job opportunities. Our goals are to expand knowledge about Software Quality to all professionals who are passionate about their careers, and take Software Quality seriously.</p>

<a href="https://twitter.com/chancancode">Godfrey Chan</a>: Dropping down to The Metal™</h3>
<p>As much as we love Ruby, when you need to be really close to the metal, you have no choice but to use JavaScript. This is why I developed the javascript gem to help you harness the raw power of your machines. In this talk, we will examine the Ruby tricks and black magic hidden behind this ludicrous invention. Along the way, we will learn about how Ruby internally deal with variable lookups, method calls, scoping and bindings. Together, we will push the limits of the Ruby language, taking it to places Matz never ever envisioned!</p>

<h3>Jason Clark: Testing the Multiverse</h3>
<p>It’s a basic principle of testing that minimizing dependencies will make you happier, faster, and more productive. But what happens when you can’t? If your code plugs into or extends another gem, comfortable isolation might be out of the question. Stubbing and careful design can carry you a ways, but eventually you need to actually test your code against those gems you’re building on. Luckily, there are ways to reduce this pain. We’ll dig deep on creating a simple environment to check your work against multiple dependencies. We’ll see patterns that help avoid pulling your hair out when those dependencies change. We’ll even search around the raw edges, examining how to verify what your code does when it lands in an environment you haven’t tested. There’s a multitude of gems out there to build on. Let’s see how we can test with them!</p>
<h3>Emily Bookstein: So You Want Diversity in Tech? (Or, How to create lasting social change with tech money).</h3>
<p>The conversation around diversity in tech is gaining momentum -- but we need to deepen our understanding of the problem if we really want to address the issue. Let's break down tech's gender and racial diversity problem using "5 Whys," a form of Root Cause Analysis. I'll also propose an actionable and concrete way that we as tech workers can help address the root causes of tech's lack of diversity.</p>

<h3>Dana Scheider: How and Why to Love Cucumber</h3>

<h3>Tim Krajcar - kenny_g.rb: Making Ruby Write Smooth Jazz</h3>
<p>For too long, computers have been shut out of the red-hot music-to-listen-to-while-relaxing-in-the-bathtub genre. Today, that all changes. Our smooth-jazz-as-a-service startup is primed to disrupt this stale industry. In this talk we'll introduce the basic protocols of digital music and take a whirlwind tour of musical harmonic theory. We'll survey some Ruby tools that make noise and we'll dig deep into using Ruby to generate beautiful piano music with audience-selected chords. It will all culminate in a showdown between man and machine to decide the fate of the musical universe as our program battles a real live musician.</p>

<p>SQAUG Presents:</p>
<p>QA and Poetry - how these two disciplines are surprisingly related at Con-Way 2055 NW Savier, Portland, OR 97209 on Wednesday October 21, 2015 5:30pm until 7:30pm
Event is FREE and Open to the Public</p>
<p>This month, we are excited to welcome Scott Poole for a talk on how writing a poem is similar to QA. You have to anticipate the pitfalls an audience and a user might fall into. To illustrate this, Scott will read several humorous poems that reflect on this QA type experience. He will discuss about how both disciplines have influenced each other and the benefits gained. Scott is also one of the keynote speakers for the PNSQC’s October events and will be tailoring his presentation specifically for SQAUG!</p>
<p>About our speaker: Scott Poole is most well known as the “House Poet” on the weekly Live Wire! public radio variety show, taped in Portland and broadcast nationally by Public Radio International. However, he is also a software developer. Currently, he’s the Senior Web Developer for Columbia United Providers in Vancouver, WA. He’s been writing code for 9 years and poetry for 25. He is the author of three books of poetry, The Cheap Seats, Hiding from Salesmen and, most recently, The Sliding Glass Door.</p>
<p>Agenda:
5:30-6:00PM: Pizza and Networking
6:00-6:15PM: SQAUG Announcements
6:15-7:30PM: Presentation/Q&A</p>
<p>Details:
• Event is Free to the public
• Onsite parking (directions below)
• Light Hors d'oeuvres and beverages will be served
• No RSVP is required to attend</p>
<p>SQAUG is Portland/Vancouver area’s only Software Quality Assurance User Group! We are in our 3rd year and would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone who would like to participate in a user group dedicated to growing the Quality Assurance field.</p>
<p>SQAUG is made up of a group of SQA professionals who have banded together in an open forum to learn from each other through a series of interactive discussions, engaged debates, training presentations, exploring tools, and general networking and sharing of job opportunities. Our goals are to expand knowledge about Software Quality to all professionals who are passionate about their careers, and take Software Quality seriously.</p>

<h3>Brent Miller - How does New Relic build software? A biological approach to architecture</h3>
<p>When building resilient, fault-tolerant, scalable systems, we focus quite a bit on the particular technologies involved. Can it scale horizontally? Is Samza better than Storm? Is this library thread-safe? It turns out that, even though those questions matter to the stability of the system, they don’t matter as much as the people building the system. Humans choose the stack, write the code, and write the bugs, too. They create the weird edge cases that cause the system to fall over at the worst time.</p>
<p>At New Relic we’ve taken an unusual approach to building software: we draw heavily from biological metaphors like mutation and natural selection, and focus on a human-centric approach to define our architecture. Rather than trust a few armchair architects to make the decisions, we put the power in the hands of the teams wrestling with the code. We have many strategies to ensure cohesiveness across the architecture and scalability for the business, the engineering organization, and the software, but it takes a little leap of faith and a lot of trust to move to a process like ours.</p>
<p>I’ll share how our process works, and how we manage the growth without going off the rails, while increasing system stability</p>
<h3>Jason Clark - Peeking into Ruby: Tracing Running Code</h3>
<p>Your Ruby app is in production, but something isn’t quite right. It worked locally, it passed CI… why’s the running app acting weird?</p>
<p>If this sounds familiar, you’re in luck. Multiple tools exist for grappling with a running Ruby app. This talk will introduce a variety of tools and techniques for peeking into what your Ruby app is doing. From Ruby-level method tracing using rbtrace, all the way down to watching kernel syscalls with strace, you can see what your app is doing, and I’ll show you how.</p>
<p>Don’t let your production system go unwatched!</p>

<h3>Jason Clark - GDB: A Gentle Intro</h3>
<p>We love Ruby’s elegance, simplicity, and flexibility. But our favorite language perches atop a world of native code. When that other world intrudes on your peaceful Ruby, GDB, the venerable GNU debugger, is the tool to turn to.</p>
<p>We’ll examine setting up Ruby to work with GDB. We’ll learn the fundamental commands, and soon you’ll be debugging with ease. We’ll even peer deep into Ruby object internals and face down crashes, deadlocks, and bugs.</p>
<p>Whether you’re writing a native gem, hacking the Ruby VM, or just want a glimpse of the layers below, this talk is for you!</p>

Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 29th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking.</p>

<h3>Sam Livingston-Gray: Cucumbers Have Layers: A Love Story</h3>
<p>Cucumber sucks. Features are hard to write and constantly break when the UI changes. Step definitions are annoying to create and a freaking nightmare to maintain. And Cucumber suites take for-EVER to run, because you have to wait for a web browser.</p>
<p>Except... [almost] none of that is actually true.</p>
<p>After years of making awful messes with Cucumber, I finally found a way to use it that worked well, and a project I couldn't have done without it. I'd like to show you one way to use Cucumber that can be elegant, powerful, expressive, and—believe it or not—fast.</p>
<h3>Nick Urban</h3>
<p>A talk about refactoring, tech debt, and why beautiful code is good business.</p>

<h3>Making the Most of the lib Directory in a Rails App - Brett Chalupa</h3>
<p>Where does code goes that does not cleanly fit within the MVC structure that Rails suggests? Does one create a new folder within the app directory and introduce a new concept to the app? The vendor directory?! Should it go in a gem? When the conventions of Rails do not cover a concept or approach, it is difficult to know where to put classes and modules.</p>
<p>Over the years, I have been putting more code in the lib directory. It allows for more object oriented code composition, faster tests, and a clear path for extraction into gems. Working in a directory with nothing but a "tasks" directory can be a bit daunting at first, but soon enough it will start to feel like home.</p>
<p>In this talk, I want to show the benefits of putting code in the lib directory, when to put code in lib, how to test code in lib, how to configure a Rails application to use the lib directory, and common pitfalls to watch out for. There will be plenty of examples, open source code to reference, and hopefully other folks sharing their experiences with the lib directory.</p>

<h3>Designing by Contract: Using Types to Write Safer Code by Thomas Reynolds</h3>
<p>Contracts.ruby is a library which allows Ruby code to be type-checked at runtime. By simply providing a type for input parameters and output values, you can drastically reduce common, and hard to track, Ruby bugs. We will discuss types in a simple, pragmatic and non-academic way as well as looking at code samples from Middleman v4 which is entirely covered by contracts.</p>
<p>After presentations we'll have more socializing time.</p>

<h1>PRESENTATIONS at 7pm</h1>
<h3></h3>
<h2>Automation for Mobile Devices with Calabash by Shannon Atkinson</h2>
<p>Using Calabash for automation for both iOS and Android applications can be frustrating and difficult. This talk will focus around using a Cucumber/Ruby/Calabash to formulate a single GIT repo for testing both iOS and Android apps with the same test cases.</p>
<h2>Embracing --api by Mitch Lloyd</h2>
<p>It's hard to beat the productivity of Rails in the hands of an experienced developer. But what happens when user expectations drag your server-rendered application into the tortured hellscape of client-side JavaScript?</p>
<p>JavaScript creeps into your once beautiful code base: a typeahead search field, a client-side validation, an AJAX-powered star rating widget. This pathogen has no unit tests and causes the number of bugs and Selenium tests to grow.</p>
<p>In this talk I'll explore why companies that resist client-side rendering still ship 350KB of gzipped JavaScript to their users. With examples I'll argue that there is a better way: separating your API from your client code. This approach that I once reserved for "highly interactive" applications, I now consider "a matter of course". For the majority of applications it leads to faster development, simpler architecture, and more flexible approaches for building and deploying UI.
After presentations we'll have more socializing time.</p>

<p>ARRIVING BY BIKE? Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 29th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 29th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking.</p>

<p>Two Jira users walk into a bar... What do they find? Each other and a whole lot of ways to use Jira to solve problems. This month two local users will share how they use Jira and other products to collaborate and manage internal projects from technical to business. <a href="https://aug.atlassian.com/events/details/atlassian-portland-oregon-presents-jira-software-in-action-software-development-project-management#/">Come to learn</a> from their successes, failures, and everything in between. Ask questions and collaborate; our hope is that you'll walk away with answers to your burning challenges, or at least feel like you have a local Bat-line to call for help.</p>
<br>
<p>We'll also report out on the latest from <a href="https://www.atlassian.com/">Atlassian</a>, including announcements from Summit in San Jose. If you attended, we'd love for you to share your most-memorable moment and what you learned.</p>

<p>At our quarterly meetup for DITA XML users, we'll be welcoming Josh Johnson of MapR Technologies, who will be speaking about "The Doc Pipeline: The Awkward Teenage Years." Josh is a DITA tools developer with 15+ years experience enabling tech doc and content management teams to provide state-of-the art content creation and delivery.

<p>--Meetup from 6:30-8:00 PM on 8/14, with the talk beginning at 7:00.</p>
<p>--There will be food, and drinks in moderation!</p>
<p>--Please RSVP to <a href="mailto:marya.devoto@xand.com">marya.devoto@xand.com</a> if you plan to come in person--or if you'd like a call-in option. We always plan veg options, but can handle other requests with advance notice.

<div class="description">
<p>Rails 6 is officially released! We will round up the major new features coming your way. It is an exciting release due to some big features coming upstream from the Basecamp and GitHub projects. Amongst the many minor updates, useful tweaks and bug fixes, Rails 6 will ship with two completely new frameworks: ActionText and ActionMailbox, and two big scalable-by-default features: parallel testing and multiple database support.</p>
<p>We'll have pizza & beer starting at 6pm, so stop by early if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations.</p>
<h2>PRESENTATIONS 7pm-9pm</h2>

<p>There will be pizza!</p>

<p><strong><em> ATTENTION: For this month's meeting only, we will be meeting in the Jefferson room on the southeast end of the upper lobby. We will not be in the usual 8th-floor conference room! </em></strong></p>
<p>This month's topic: Grid Packet Computing for Java (GPC4J)</p>
<p>GPC4J is a computing paradigm that breaks a partitionable problem into GridPackets, which are routed, processed and re-assembled into the solution to the original problem. This presentation will cover the use of the system and design of the project's web application. The application is built using REST (Jersey), Maven, Hibernate, JPA, MySQL and GlassFish.</p>
<hr>
<p>Speaker: Lyle Harris</p>
<p>Lyle Harris is a Software Engineer working in World Wide Operations at Sun Microsystems, where he develops internal Java applications for automation and customer-facing web applications.</p>
<hr>
<p>PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then Q&A, discussion, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)</p>
<p>Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't <em>have</em> to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up!</p>
<p>Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, at a location determined ad hoc (lately, the Market Street Pub at 10th and Market: <a href="http://mcmenamins.com/index.php?loc=24">http://mcmenamins.com/index.php?loc=24</a> ).</p>
