Join us for some show and tell and good open geo discussion! \ ;\n \;\nThis month we will be discussing Landslide Susceptibility Mod eling With Information Theory: The Terroir of Landslides\, with David Pe rcy\, aka "\;Percy"\;. Percy is preparing to defend his disserta tion on Spatial Reconstructability Analysis\, and led us in in a lively discussion in January. This month he will share another aspect of his wo rk on applying Reconstructability Analysis (RA) to categorical raster da tasets. \;\n \;\nRA is a form of machine learning algorithm (MLA) that works exclusively with discrete data\, so categorical data such as the variables in the SSURGO soils database\, the geologic database (DOG AMI)\, and land cover (NLCD) can be used as inputs in their native forma t without conversion to dummy variables\, as is typically done in other MLAs. \;\n \;\nFor his February demo\, Percy will show how these v ariables are used along with topographic data to model landslide suscept ibility in two of the counties ranked highest by FEMA for most landslide hazards: Lincoln and Tillamook. Percy will show that there is evidence to suggest that we can map a Terroir of Landslides\, using combinations of soil type\, geology\, elevation\,and terrane group\, similar to the c ombinations of environmental factors that are used to characterize wines \, chocolate\, and coffee. Results will be presented that show how these data are useful in making hazard maps. \;\n \;\nAll of the extrac tion for analysis was done in QGIS and Python using open source GIS libr aries Shapely and Rasterio. Code will be shared and discussed! \;\n&# 13\;\nJoin us Wednesday for a lively discussion!\n\nTags: opensource gis geospatial\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482212 SUMMARY:PDXOSGeo February Meetup LOCATION:Ecotrust Building: 721 Northwest 9th Avenue\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:7 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260224T171410Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260224T193000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260224T173000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260224T171410Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260224T171410Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250482486 DESCRIPTION:This is an in-person meetup. \;\n \;\nModern developer experience on WildFly \;\n \;\nHas your view of Enterprise Java ev olved with the platform?

As an ex perienced hiring manager and job seeker herself\, Heather has reviewed h undreds (maybe thousands?) of resumes. She can tell you that the AI and recruiter generated resumes are usually easy to spot and often treated w ith a certain amount of disdain and distrust.

RA is a form of machine learning that works exclusively with discrete da ta\, so categorical data such as the National Land Cover Database is a p erfect source of data for it. These NLCD data have been analyzed in atte mpts to predict forest dynamics (clearcuts)\, and wildfire size\, specif ically looking at how historical vegetation affects these outcomes. Resu lts will be presented that show how these data are useful in modeling fu ture events. All of the extraction for analysis was done in Python using open source GIS libraries Shapely and Rasterio.

Food sponsored by Mezmo \;\n \;\n5:45pm - Streamlining Telemetry Data: Building a Telemetry Pipeline to Handle High-Cardinality Metrics b y Chelsea Wright @ Mezmo \;\n \;\nHandling high-cardinality teleme try data efficiently is crucial for modern observability systems. In thi s session\, we will explore strategies for designing a scalable telemetr y pipeline that can process large volumes of diverse metrics without per formance bottlenecks. We’ll cover best practices for data ingestion\, st orage optimization\, and query performance\, along with real-world techn iques to mitigate challenges like high dimensionality and resource const raints. Attendees will gain insights into building a robust telemetry pi peline that balances accuracy\, efficiency\, and cost-effectiveness. \;\n \;\n6:15pm - What Producing Sound Effects Taught Me About Distri buted Systems by Bret Bernhoft \;\n \;\nAs a sound designer and cl oud native developer\, I have discovered the art of crafting immersive a udio effects mirrors the science of engineering distributed systems. In this talk\, I will share how core audio production concepts like managin g feedback loops\, dealing with signal degradation and understanding the effects of reverb offer direct parallels to tackling challenges in micr oservices\, observability and network latency. Just as a single\, comple x sound effect is built from many interdependent layers\, modern applica tions rely on an orchestration of services and timing\, demanding both p recision and systems thinking. \;\n \;\nWe will explore how consid ering signal-to-noise ratio can clarify your logging strategies and how the art of mixing audio tracks provides valuable insights into resource limits as well as task prioritization within your deployments. By drawin g on these analogies\, this session aims to equip you with a new perspec tive that makes the complexities of cloud native architectures a bit mor e understandable\, all through the lens of sound. \;\n \;\n6:45pm to 8:00pm – Networking and Board games! \;\n \;\nNone of this woul d be possible without our amazing sponsors: \;\n \;\n Thanks to ProFocus for sponsoring the meetup space \;\n Thanks to Mezmo for sponsoring the food \;\n\n\nTags: kubernetes\, containers\, cloud\, operations\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482077 URL:https://www.meetup.com/cloud-native-pdx/events/308128729 SUMMARY:Cloud Native PDX July Meeting LOCATION:ProFocus Technology Professionals: 10200 Southwest Eastridge Str eet\, Portland OR 97225 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
