In t he spirit of disruptive ideas and breaking down barriers we ask\, "\ ;How can art and technology and the synergy of the two address humanity' s next evolutionary step?"\; Four categories of work will address th ese questions and collectively speak to the power of human ingenuity.

Swinney\, Sid Rich ardson Foundation Regents Chair of Physics and Director of the Center fo r Nonlinear Dynamics at the University of Texas at Austin. Prof. Swinney is one of the pioneering figures in the study of chaos theory and his l ab has played a leading role in the study of nonlinear dynamics over the past 40 years. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and h is work has been recognized with numerous awards\, including the Moser P rize\, the Richardson Medal\, and the Boltzmann Medal. \;\n \;\nFr om spatial patterns like the stripes on a zebra to temporal patterns lik e the rhythmic beating of the heart\, patterns are ubiquitous in nature. Understanding how these patterns emerge is one of science’s most enduri ng mysteries. In this lecture\, aimed at a general audience\, Prof. Swin ney will discuss how ordered patterns emerge as systems are driven away from thermodynamic equilibrium. While no general theory of pattern forma tion currently exists\, new analysis techniques\, experiments\, and comp utational methods can provide general insights into pattern formation in a diversity of physical\, chemical\, and biological systems. \;\n&# 13\;\n \;\nSpontaneous pattern formation in bacterial colonies \;\ n \;\nSponsored by the Office of the Dean of the Faculty at Reed Coll ege.\n\nTags: science\, lecture\, chaos\, chaos theory\, free\, physics\ , chemistry\, math\, mathematics\, biology\n\nImported from: http://cala gator.org/events/1250467640 URL:http://events.reed.edu/posts/2014-15/lecture-harry-swinney.html SUMMARY:Public Lecture at Reed: "Emergence of Ordered Patterns in Physica l\, Chemical\, and Biological Systems" LOCATION:Reed College (Vollum Lecture Hall): 3203 S.E.

There are simple techniques and rule s you can follow to build documentation for your users. Rust ships with documentation tools\, but not all crates take advantage of them. Documen tation is the first way that developers interact with your code - great documentation sets your crates apart\, helps users skip easy questions\, and cuts down on bug reports. In this talk\, we will explore techniques for writing great documentation. \;\n \;\nSpeaker Jeremiah Peschk a has been breaking software since 2000 - he's been told this sounds imp ressive\, but he thinks it might just make him feel old. He blogs over a t http://facility9.com and can be found on twitter and IRC as peschkaj. When Jeremiah isn't working with databases and Rust\, he can be found pl aying video games\, hanging out at food trucks\, or napping at home. \;\n \;\n \;\nBridging Ruby and Rust: \;\n \;\nRuby is not t he fastest language in the world\, there is no doubt about it. This does n't turn out to matter all that much – Ruby and its ecosystem has so muc h to offer\, making it a worthwhile tradeoff a lot of the times. \;\n \;\n \;\nHowever\, you might occasionally encounter workloads tha t are simply not suitable for Ruby. This is especially true for framewor ks like Rails\, where the overhead wants to be as little as possible. 3\;\n \;\n \;\nIn this talk\, we will explore building a native Ru by extension with Rust to speed up parts of Rails. What does Rust have t o offer here over plain-old C? What kind of challenges would you run int o when briding a dynamic langauge like Ruby with Rust? Let's find out!&# 13\;\n \;\nSpeaker Godfrey Chan is a member of the Rails core team an d a co-author of Helix\, a toolkit for implementing Ruby classes in Rust . He works at Tilde Inc\, splitting his time between building Skylight a nd open-source consulting. \;\n \;\nOther Information: \;\n \;\nPDXRust meets on the first Wednesday of every month\, from 6-8pm\, a t Mozilla's Portland space.

He's in town for RustConf\, and will be sharing his talk on Desig n Patterns in Rust with us! Here's the abstract: \;\n \;\nThis tal k will cover some of the common idioms and design patterns encountered w hen programming in Rust.We’ll work through simple idioms used in everyda y programming for tasks such as object creation and customisation\, reso urce management\, and destruction. We’ll then cover more complex pattern s often used in generic data structures and libraries. We’ll also discus s some of the underlying themes and why these idioms and patterns occur in Rust. \;\n \;\nThe talk will not assume previous experience wit h Rust. The audience will gain an understanding of programming with Rust and its strengths and weaknesses. For those learning (or intending to l earn) Rust\, the talk should provide a short-cut to intermediate and adv anced programming skills. \;\n \;\nCorrode: Automatically Translat ing C to Rust \;\n \;\nC has been the de facto systems programming language for 44 years\, which means an awful lot of useful software is written in that language. As excellent as Rust is\, it doesn't have that inertia behind it. (Yet!) Rust has good FFI support for calling C funct ions\, plus tools for automatically generating FFI bindings\, which make much of that existing software usable for new Rust projects. Still\, ga ining Rust's full safety advantages requires rewriting existing C softwa re in Rust\, which is currently a manual\, time-consuming\, and error-pr one process. \;\n \;\nCorrode is a tool that aims to bridge this g ap by automatically translating C source code to equivalent Rust. A Corr ode-translated program is no safer than the original C was\, but it gets the most tedious translation work out of the way so a programmer can fo cus on taking advantage of Rust's more advanced features. \;\n \;\ nIn this talk we'll explore what Corrode does\, and does not\, do. We'll discuss interesting examples that will surprise most C programmers\, wh ile staying accessible to programmers in any language. We'll look at how Corrode has been tested: the most effective ways are methods not widely used with other software. And we'll evaluate Corrode's documentation an d community-building efforts\, to both show how you can contribute and s uggest steps you might consider for your own projects. \;\n \;\nSp eaker Jamey Sharp is Corrode's initial author and a programmer experienc ed in a variety of languages including C\, Java\, Python\, Haskell\, and x86 assembly. He is new to Rust\, compared to those languages\, and Cor rode grew out of his learning experiments. (The exercise has been very e ffective at finding odd corners of both C and Rust...) He recently compl eted a session as a Recurse Center resident\, teaching advanced topics t o diverse audiences of programming enthusiasts spanning every skill leve l\, which he enjoyed tremendously. \;\n \;\nOther information: \;\n \;\nPDXRust meets on the first Wednesday of every month\, from 6 -8pm\, at Mozilla's Portland space.

What hasn't changed is that every business\, from startup to corporation \, needs to have images of their people\, products\, venues\, and other resources. These photos end up on websites\, social media\, in print\, at those things called conferences that we used to do\, and elsewhere. Folks are going to notice the difference between an organization that ha s solid consistent imagery versus an outfit where you can tell that thei r visual brand was an afterthought. \;\n \;\nWhat does photography and visual branding look like for a startup or other organization in 20 20 and beyond? When should you hire a pro and when should you do it you rself? If you can afford the same gear as a pro\, what else are they br inging to the table that you don't have? Should you invest in photograp hy proactively\, or react as you have a need for pictures? Let's talk about visual media and photography. \;\n \;\nJoin us for a mentor Q&\;A with Aaron Hockley of Hockley Photography and TechPhotoGuy.com. Aaron is a professional photographer with a background in the tech wor ld\; he's photographed quite a few Portland tech startups and organizati ons over the past 12 years. The Professional Photographers of America h as recognized him as a Master of Photography and Photographic Craftsman\ , which means that he knows a thing or two (maybe even three!) about mak ing and using effective images. \;\n \;\nRSVP: https://www.crowdca st.io/e/piepdx-aaron-hockley-visuals-photography-20200415\n\nTags: free\ , startup\, startups\, entrepreneur\, entrepreneurs\, founder\, founders \, pie\, piepdx\, livestream\, photography\, photo\, crowdcast\, aaron h ockley\, visuals\, techphotoguy\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/e vents/1250476974 URL:https://www.crowdcast.io/e/piepdx-aaron-hockley-visuals-photography-2 0200415 SUMMARY:Photography\, Visual Media\, and Your Brand with Aaron Hockley of Tech Photo Guy LOCATION:Online: placeholder for on-line events\, SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200409T200526Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200416T173000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200416T163000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200409T200526Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200409T200526Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250476973 DESCRIPTION:We all rely on the bonds of our community in order for our bu sinesses to thrive. We seek intros to VCs\, backchannels to clients\, ad vice from our peers and mentors. In normal times\, these bonds heavily r ely on in-person interactions — coffees\, lunches\, beers\, and 1:1's. & #13\;\n \;\nReading body language is a critical component to reinforc ement of those bonds. In our most vulnerable moments\, we want to ensure that the other party is present\, listening\, and empathizing. And beyo nd the 1:1 interactions\, in social places like our coffee shops and cow orking spaces\, we create room for serendipity — that chance encounter t hat leads to something new and unexpected\, whether it's a new business idea or a solution to an existing problem facing a member of our communi ty. \;\n \;\nDuring this pandemic\, we've been stripped of the abi lity to interact as normal. Sure\, we have all these video chat tools — but it's not a replacement of our in-person interactions\, just a digita l proxy. And while those proxies may suffice for our 1:1 meetings\, they certainly aren't helping with serendipity. \;\n \;\nSo how do we form community in a time of crisis? How do we create space for chance? A nd how can we come together to listen\, to engage\, to be present\, when many of us are already at our wits end staring at a video on a computer screen all day long? \;\n \;\nJoin us for a mentor Q&\;A with Marcelino Alvarez\, Chief Product Officer at Fresh Consulting. He was fo rmerly CEO of Uncorked Studios\, which co-founded Safecast during the 20 11 Fukushima earthquake and ensuing nuclear disaster.

As complex systems\, value creation occurs in startup communi ties primarily through the interaction of the parts—the people\, organiz ations\, resources\, and conditions involved—not the parts themselves. T his continual process of bottom-up interactions unfolds naturally\, prod ucing value in novel and unexpected ways.

You ’ll also see examples of VertueLab Entrepreneurs who are making it in Cl imateTech. VertueLab is a ClimateTech non-profit that is focused on help ing Pacific Northwest ClimateTech entrepreneurs achieve their goals. \;\n \;\nIdeas come from anywhere\, and individuals with those ideas often don’t have the entrepreneurial awareness\, tools\, or guidance to get started in their exploration. Also\, entrepreneurship is new in many communities and they need a jumpstart to gain the right knowledge and c onnections to move forward. \;\n \;\nThe best way to discover\, le arn\, and explore entrepreneurship is through a hands-on approach and me eting others that are building technology and can explain by showing. Ju mpStart Weekends are designed to be a comfortable space to gather curiou s individuals and introduce them to tools and methods they can use to ex plore their ideas and get instant feedback and mentorship\, all packaged over a weekend. \;\n \;\nAlthough it's in our mission to address the impacts of climate change\, entrepreneurship is for everyone. We wan t to increase access to entrepreneurship\, and provide the tools and kno wledge to everyone so that we are all part of the solution. So no prior knowledge of ClimateTech is required\, all you need is an idea and the c uriosity to know more and explore in a weekend of fun\, we encourage you to apply! \;\n \;\n\n\nTags: free\, startup\, startups\, entrepre neur\, entrepreneurs\, founder\, founders\, cofounder\, cofounders\, por tland\, pdx\, cleantech\, clean tech\n\nImported from: http://calagator. org/events/1250480951 URL:https://www.vertuelab.org/45-camp SUMMARY:45 Camp Jumpstart Weekend LOCATION:Briq Studio: 209 Northwest 4th Avenue\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240307T224240Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240314T203000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240314T183000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240307T224240Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240307T224240Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250480992 DESCRIPTION:It's another opportunity to meet the folks from the [Portland Startups Slack](https://pdxslack.com) in real life!\n\nTags: free\, sta rtup\, startups\, entrepreneur\, entrepreneurs\, founder\, founders\, co founder\, cofounders\, portland\, pdx\, beer\n\nImported from: http://ca lagator.org/events/1250480992 URL:https://www.meetup.com/social_beer/events/299661799/ SUMMARY:#social_beer (Portland Startups Slack IRL) LOCATION:Beulahland: 118 NE 28th Ave\, Portland Or 97232 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240313T144445Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240315T120000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240315T110000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240313T144445Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240313T144445Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250480997 DESCRIPTION:Starting a virtual weekly chat to talk about AI.

When it was really just an exc use to see one another. And welcome both new transplants and visitors al ike to Portland. \;\n \;\nEvery Friday\, Beer and Blog was the bes t place to meet and chat with the Portland tech community — as a communi ty — whether you happened to blog or not. \;\n \;\nWith WordCamp U S 2024 — which is being held in Portland\, this year — coming to a concl usion on Friday\, September 20\, 2024\, it seemed like an opportune time to bask in a little nostalgia and gather for another Beer and Blog. Jus t for old time's sake. \;\n \;\nSo take off work a bit early and h ead down to Rogue in SE Portland (formerly known as The Green Dragon). Y ou deserve it. Go spend some time getting acquainted with the Portland t ech community you're one event away from getting to know and love.

Your ICP (Plus get a free wo rkday at KILN!) \;\n \;\n​Know your market as well as you know you r product. \;\n \;\n​One of the most critical decisions you'll mak e is defining who you're building for. Getting your Ideal Customer Profi le (ICP) right determines everything from product features to pricing to marketing channels. We'll explore proven frameworks for identifying and understanding your core market\, diving deep into customer motivations\ , pain points\, and buying behaviors. You'll leave with practical tools for customer research and a clear picture of who will become your most v aluable users and advocates. \;\n \;\n​There’s one challenge all f ounders have in common\, especially in 2025. It’s achieving product mark et fit. \;\n \;\n​This free workshop series at Kiln is based on Pr oductTheory’s celebrated Product-Market Fit Canvas: a framework for ensu ring smart\, data-driven product development and market strategy. Open t o both Kiln members and the broader entrepreneurial community. \;\n& #13\;\n​Why This Series Matters: Dr. Ali Maaxa has spent 20 years in the trenches - from Big Tech innovation teams to zero-to-one product launch es.
