Title and abs tract below. \;\n \;\nThe talk will be in the Dean's Conference ro om (EB 500) in the Engineering Building at Portland State University. 3\;\n \;\nJim Hook (hook at cs dot pdx dot edu) is acting as host. 3\;\n \;\nTITLE: \;\nTypestate Verification for Aliased Objects us ing Assume-Guarantee Permissions \;\n \;\nABSTRACT: \;\nObject- oriented libraries often define usage protocols that clients must follow in order for the system to work properly. Typestates use state machines to specify these protocols\, but previous protocol verification systems have significant practical problems in their precision\, scaleability\, easy of use\, and applicability to standard coding styles and idioms.&# 13\;\n \;\nWe are exploring a new approach to verifying typestate usi ng assume- guarantee permissions. These permissions track not only the state of an object\, but an abstraction of what operations other aliases might perform on the object. Developers annotate their code with state and permission information\, which can be automatically and soundly che cked for consistency. Our approach is fully modular\, yet allows substa ntial reasoning about objects even when they are aliased by multiple cli ents. We will describe novel approaches for reasoning about inheritance and concurrency\, and show case studies verifying code (and finding one defect) in well-tested Java standard library code. \;\n \;\nThis is joint work with Kevin Bierhoff and Nels Beckman.\n\nTags: technology\ n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250455618 URL:http://mailhost.cecs.pdx.edu/pipermail/cs-colloq/2008-August/000137.h tml SUMMARY:Jonathan Aldrich: Typestate Verification for Aliased Objects usin g Assume-Guarantee Permissions LOCATION:Portland State University Engineering Building: 1930 SW 4th Ave\ , Portland Oregon 97201 US SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20080812T004349Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20080812T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20080812T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20080812T004349Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20080812T004349Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250455617 DESCRIPTION:Our next meeting is tomorrow\, Tuesday 8/12 at 7PM in the lov ely\, air-conditioned CubeSpace. \;\n \;\nUp tomorrow is Python by tecode.

Nonetheless\, GP U programming is \;\nstill limited only to those who understand the h ardware architecture and \;\nthe parallel processing. This is because the current GPU programming \;\nsystems are based on the specialized parallel processing model\, and \;\nrequire low-level attention in m any aspects such as thread launching \;\nand synchronization. \;\n \;\nThe need for a programming system which provides a high-level 3\;\nabstraction layer on top of the GPU programming systems without los ing \;\nthe performance gain arises to facilitate the use of GPUs. In stead of \;\nwriting a programming system from the scratch\, the deve lopment of a \;\nHaskell extension has been chosen as the ideal appro ach\, since the \;\nHaskell community has already accumulated a signi ficant amount of \;\nresearch and resources for Nested Data Paralleli sm\, which could be \;\nadopted to provide a high-level abstraction o n GPU programming and even \;\nto broaden the applicability of GPU pr ogramming. In addition\, the \;\nForeign Function Interface of Haskel l is sufficient to be the \;\ncommunication medium to the GPU. \;\ n \;\nGpuGen is what connects these two dots: GPUs and Haskell. It co mpiles \;\nthe collective data operations such as scan\, fold\, map\, etc\, which \;\nincur most computation cost\, to the GPU. The design of the system\, the \;\nstructure of the GpuGen compiler\, and the c urrent development status are \;\nto be discussed in the talk. \;\ n \;\nBiographical details: \;\n \;\n Sean Lee is a PhD candi date at the UNSW\, Sydney\, working \;\n in the Programming Languag es &\; Systems Group.

In a striking contrast\, techni ques like model checking\, by limiting the user to a less expressive for malism (propositional logic\, CTL etc.)\, can offer completely automated decision methods\, making them substantially easier to use and often mo re productive. \;\n \;\n With this in mind\, why should one be interested in the theorem proving approach? In this tutorial I will expl ain some of the advantages of theorem proving\, showing situations where the generality of theorem proving is beneficial\, allowing us to tackle domains that are beyond the scope of automated methods or providing oth er important advantages. I will talk about the state of the art in theor em proving systems and and give a little demonstration to give an impres sion of what it's like to work with such a system. \;\n \;\nBiogra phical details: \;\n \;\n John Harrison has worked in formal ve rification and automated theorem proving since 1990\, when he joined Mik e Gordon's "\;Hardware Verification Group"\; (HVG) at the Univer sity of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. As well as working on the develop ment of the HOL theorem prover\, he developed a particular interest in t he formalization of real analysis and its application to formal verifica tion of floating-point hardware. His PhD in this area\, "\;Theorem P roving with the Real Numbers"\;\, written under Mike Gordon's superv ision\, won a UK Distinguished Dissertation award and was published as a book. He also redesigned HOL from scratch\, resulting in an alternative version called HOL Light. After completing his PhD research in 1995\, J ohn Harrison spent a very enjoyable year at Abo Akademi University and T urku Centre for Computer Science (TUCS) in Turku\, Finland\, where he wa s a member of Ralph Back's Programming Methods Research Group. Among oth er activities\, he championed the "\;declarative"\; proofs of th e Mizar system and showed how these could be integrated into other theor em-provers\, work subsequently taken up in DECLARE\, Isar and other syst ems. \;\n \;\n John Harrison then returned to Cambridge and wor ked on a formal model of floating-point arithmetic and its application t o the verification of some realistic algorithms for transcendental funct ions. This work attracted the attention of Intel\, and in 1998 John Harr ison joined the company as a Senior Software Engineer (now Principal Eng ineer) specializing in the design and formal verification of mathematica l algorithms. He has formally verified and in many cases designed or red esigned numerous algorithms for mathematical functions including divisio n\, square root and transcendental functions. \;\n \;\n In his limited spare time over the past 10 years\, John Harrison has been worki ng on a book giving a comprehensive introduction to automated theorem pr oving.

When he mapped this data\, he was able to discover where flu outbreaks would strike up to two weeks before tra ditional news sources were able to report them. http://www.google.org/fl utrends/ \;\n \;\nThis is an example of a time when merging a spec ific type of data to its geographical coordinates resulted in a unique i nsight. However\, there is much more to do with data and visualization. What was found at Google is only the tip of a very large iceberg. Now th at we have access to so much data on the web\, we're going to see an inc reasing need to understand and present that data. \;\n \;\nAgenda : \;\nThis meetup will serve as an introduction to what's going on in the world of data viz. It will be freeform\, so if you would like to de monstrate something you're working on\, please be prepared to do so. Mic ah Elliott will be showing uGraph and Ed Borasky will do a GGobi demo. I 'll be covering what already exists in the ecosystem and what might beco me useful in the future. We're dealing with a rapid communication method here. Something that\, if done well\, compresses the time and space it takes for us to understand something. \;\n \;\nIf you're interest ed in Data Visualization\, please come to this event. It will be the fir st Portland Tech Event at WebTrends besides Web Analytics Wednesday. It' s our chance to try out the space and see if it is a good fit for this g roup or potentially for other groups in the future. \;\n \;\nGoog le Group: \;\nEd Borasky recently started a Google group called pdx- visualization.

Silicon \;\ntransistor electronics serves as a physical device\, the von Neumann \;\narchitecture provides a computer design model\, while the abstract \;\nTuring machine concept supports the theoretica l foundations. However\, \;\nin recent years\, unimagined computing d evices have seen the light \;\nbecause of advances in synthetic biolo gy\, nanotechnology\, material \;\nscience\, and neuroscience. Many o f these novel devices share the \;\nfollowing characteristics: (1) th ey are made up from massive numbers \;\nof simple\, stochastic compon ents which (2) are embedded in 2D or 3D \;\nspace in some disordered way. A grand challenge in consists in \;\ndeveloping computing paradi gms\, design methodologies\, formal \;\nframeworks\, architectures\, and tools that allow to reliably compute \;\nand efficiently solve pr oblems with such devices. In this talk\, I will \;\noutline my vision ary and long-term research efforts to address the \;\ngrand challenge of building\, organizing\, and programming future \;\ncomputing mach ines. First\, I will review exemplary future and emerging \;\ncomputi ng devices and highlight the particular challenges that arise \;\nfor performing computations them. I will then delineate potential \;\nso lutions on how these challenges might be addressed. Self-assembled \; \nnano-scale cellular automata (CAs) and random boolean networks (RBNs)& #13\;\nwill serve as a simple showcase. I will also present the efforts& #13\;\nunderway to self-assemble massive-scale nanowire-based interconne ct \;\nfabrics for spatial computers and what the challenges are in t erms of \;\ncomputations and communication in such a non-classical sy stem. \;\n\n\nTags: galois\, tech talk\, technology\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250458996 URL:http://www.galois.com/blog/2010/08/11/tech-talk-computers-as-we-dont- know-them/ SUMMARY:Galois Tech talk: Computers As We Don’t Know Them LOCATION:Galois\, Inc: 421 SW 6th Ave. Suite 300\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100808T170201Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20100820 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20100817 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100808T170201Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100818T165333Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250458984 DESCRIPTION:This event runs from Tuesday\, August 17\, 2010 at noon throu gh Thursday\, August 19\, 2010 at 5pm.\n\nDescription:\nTaking place Aug ust 17-19 in Seattle during Seattle Geek Week\, pii2010 will explore the future of digital privacy\, identity and innovation\, and how to strike a balance between protecting sensitive information and enabling new tec hnologies and business models. \;\n \;\nHosted by technology anal yst Larry Magid\, it's an all-hands-on-deck conference where industry ex ecutives\, technologists\, consumer advocates\, policy experts and other stakeholders will come together as a group to examine critical issues l ike: \;\n \;\nHow emerging technologies &\; business models a re impacting the way data is created\, shared and aggregated \;\n \;\nEffective approaches for building online trust with users \;\nWa ys in which user preferences and social norms are shifting \;\n \; \nChanges in the regulatory landscape\, in the U.S. and internationally& #13\;\n \;\nThe role of anonymity and the future of reputation manage ment on the Web \;\n \;\nThe latest developments in user-centric i dentity management \;\n \;\nIn addition\, pii2010 will serve as th e official launch pad for pii Labs\, an open forum for brainstorming and collaborating where you will have an opportunity to share your ideas an d projects with other participants. \n\nTags: privacy\, identity\, innov ation\, technology\, internet\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/eve nts/1250458984 URL:http://pii2010.com/ SUMMARY:pii2010 - privacy identity innovation LOCATION:Seattle Bell Harbor International Conference Center: 2211 Alaska n Way\, Pier 66\, Seattle WA 98121 US SEQUENCE:4 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100817T232959Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100817T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100817T183000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100817T232959Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100817T232959Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250459131 DESCRIPTION:We discuss Community creating\, maintenance\, management issu es and \;\nsolutions.

But Was hington\, D.C. is far from the only place that officials are making deci sions that impact the privacy and free speech rights. State and local of ficials are jumping into the fray as well\, passing laws or creating pol icies that have immediate impact without the spotlight that accompanies federal action. The fact is that privacy laws have failed to keep up wit h emerging technologies. This presentation will survey several areas whe re state and local officials in Oregon have recently been active\, inclu ding reviewing policies on automated license plate recognition\, surveil lance cameras\, and use of domestic drones. We will discuss how the ACLU of Oregon has been involved and what is on our agenda for the upcoming 2013 state legislative session.\n\nTags: technology\, community\, privac y\, Galois tech talk\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/12504 63146 URL:https://corp.galois.com/blog/2012/11/29/tech-talk-computers-and-priva cy-aclu-of-oregon-discusses-the.html SUMMARY:Galois tech talk: Computers and privacy\, ACLU of Oregon discusse s their 2013 agenda LOCATION:Galois\, Inc: 421 SW 6th Ave. Suite 300\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121217T182528Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130102T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130102T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121217T182528Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121217T182528Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250463238 DESCRIPTION:CrowdCompass is thrilled to be pulling together this PDX Tech + Pong Meet-up.

Big data involves huge data sets\, coming in at different speeds\, from all directions. Everyday\, we create 2.5 quintillion byte s of data online. All that data (a quintillion has 30 zeros) comes from social media\, digital pictures\, purchase transactions\, and elsewhere on the web. \;\nThis kind of data sinks traditional database systems. To analyze the data\, we need fancier systems. That’s why IBM Watson wo n Jeopardy\, but Siri continues to drive us crazy with her analytical sh ortcomings. \;\n \;\nPredictive analytics can figure out how to l and on Mars\, but it cannot predict who will buy a Mars bar. What gives? Luckily\, marketing automation tools from companies like Eloqua and Mar keto are changing the game. \;\n \;\nJoin us for a dive into the s ea of data.

In the months since\, the global design and business community has exploded with speculation on the potential of embedded computing. But they’ve left many questions unanswered: How wil l wearable technology fit into our daily lives? Is it a passing trend\, or the future of computing? Will these kinds of devices bring people clo ser together\, or add to the distractions that battle for our attention? \;\n \;\nWhat’s clear is that computers will radically transform over the next five years\, from devices we carry to integrated parts of our outfits and bodies\, that we use almost without thinking. It’s a shi ft that will transform markets\, and challenge our definition of beauty.

The NEAT web portal simplifies and guides the creation of otherwise complex scri pts through the use of an intuitive user interface that manages a web el ement 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 int uitive tool to create and execute sophisticated\, automated end-to-end t esting 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. \;\n \ ;\nAbout Our Speaker: Loren J.

It suggests an activity aimed at eliciting meaning… \;\n \;\nThe Greeks introduced the idea that individuals are not intellig ent on their own\, that it's only by reasoning together that they are ab le to uncover the truth for themselves. …By questioning and probing each other\, carefully dissecting and analyzing ideas\, finding the inconsis tencies\, never attacking or insulting but always searching for what the y can accept between them\, they can gradually attain deeper understandi ng and insight. \;\n \;\nThe 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.” \;\n \;\nThe importance of True Dialogue is that it allows positive reactions and outcomes\, from negative input…whe n done well\, the benefits can be extraordinary! \;\n \;\nAbout ou r 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\, f or 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.& #13\;\n \;\nBesides WordPerfect\, Joe’s also worked for internationa lly known companies Novell\, Corel\, Intel\, and Sage. \;\n \;\nJ oe’s been working in the Portland Tech Community since 1996. He’s been p art of several strong Oregon Companies and several startup companies\, . com’s &\; .bomb’s. And\, Joe’s been part of the SQAUG organization si nce before it became a public group. \;\n \;\nIn all of his years of being part of the Quality Assurance field\, he has found that the qu est for the mastery of effective communication and true dialogue has bee n a key element to success.

You want to make sure your deskto p site is fully accessible but now it is perhaps more important to make sure your mobile site or responsive web site is fully accessible to peop le with with disabilities. Many people with disabilities prefer using a mobile device to the desktop. WCAG2 was written before mobile devices w ere ubiquitous\, and there are some accessibility issues unique to the m obile format\, such as lack of keyboard\, lack of mouse hover and reduce d screen size. Gian will be talking about the most common problems and h ow you can avoid them. \;\n \;\n \;\nMore about Gian Wild: \ ;\n \;\nGian Wild is the CEO of AccessibilityOz an Australian company that is expanding into the U.S. Market. Gian has worked in the accessib ility industry since 1998 and consulted on the development of the first Level AAA accessible web site in Australia. She ran the accessibility co nsultancy PurpleTop from 2000 to 2005 and built the accessibility tool\, PurpleCop.

CymaSpace is a non-profit technology incubat or and performance venue in SE Portland that’s using cymatic technology to do some very cool stuff with the performing arts and accessibility.&# 13\;\n \;\nCymatics is the science of wave phenomena (especially soun d wave phenomena) and their visual and tactile representations. \;\n& #13\;\nWe found Myles to be incredibly inspiring and motivational\, and were absolutely thrilled when he agreed to participate in this month’s M eetup. He’ll be sharing his personal experience with hearing impairment\ , the motivations and passions behind CymaSpace\, and the technologies b eing developed there. \;\n \;\nThere will be demos of CymaSpace’s hardware and software technologies during Myles’ presentation. The demos will include an acoustic singer/songwriter performing original songs\, accompanied by a Certified Deaf Interpreter performing interpretive ASL\ , and a musical duo playing various instruments to demonstrate a full ra nge of sonic frequencies translated into light. \;\n \;\nIf we’re lucky\, there will be some other cool demo surprises as well. \;\n 3\;\nThis event is all-ages and with ASL interpreters for both the verba l presentation and demos\, it is designed to be fully accessible to the Deaf community. As always\, our Meetup is open to the public\, so please spread the word. \;\n \;\nAs usual\, doors open at 5:45pm and the presentation starts at 6:30pm. We expect this one will run a little lon ger than usual\, though\, ending closer to 8:15ish. \;\n \;\n \ ;\nMore about CymaSpace: \;\n \;\nhttp://www.cymaspace.org/ \;\ n \;\nCymaSpace’s mission is to make the performing arts more accessi ble and inclusive to Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities by supporting research and development of new and emerging cymatic technology\, hostin g workshops and forums\, and supporting an in-house team of tech innovat ors. \;\n \;\nCymaSpace also presents live performing arts events enhanced by specialized equipment and installations which translate audi o information into sight (light) and touch (vibration). \;\n \;\n& #13\;\nRSVP now and we'll see you on the 27th! \;\n \;\n\n\nTags: Tech Tuesdays\, tech tuesday\, eBay Community Lounge\, accessibility\, m usic\, performance art\, Tech Talks\, cymatics\, technology\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250469223 URL:http://www.meetup.com/eBay-Tech-Tuesdays/events/225906087/ SUMMARY:eBay Tech Tuesdays: "Music + Tech + Accessibility = Love" LOCATION:eBay Community Lounge: 1400 SW 5th Avenue\, 3rd Floor\, Portland OR 97201 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151015T184959Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151029T190000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151029T163000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151015T184959Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151015T184959Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250469239 DESCRIPTION:No need to worry if you missed last month's event because our next meet-up is on Thursday\, October 29th. \;\n \;\nThis month K yle Duford\, will be sharing a bit about his experiences creating and op timizing award winning e-commerce experiences.

Please RSVP via Eventbite. \;\n \;\nDescription: ISO 26262 a ddresses the needs for an automotive-specific standard that deals with t he functional safety of hardware-software electrical/electronic/programm able safety critical systems. In alignment with good system engineering practices\, ISO 26262 uses a system of steps to manage functional safety and regulate product development throughout the lifecycle on today’s ha rdware and software integrated systems. Specifically\, this standard det ails how to assign an acceptable risk level to a system or component and document the overall testing process. \;\n \;\nWhat impact will t his standard have on automotive electronic design\, V&\;V and testing ? What new tools might be needed for safety requirements tractability an d risk management? How will compliance be handled? Will this standard se t a precedence and framework – especially for simulation lifecycle manag ement and V&\;V flows – for other industries such as the semiconducto r market? These are some of the questions that a panel of experts will a ddress from a tool vendor\, designer\, V&\;V engineer and end user po int of viewpoints.

At t his point\, your application can be quickly and reliably deployed on any Docker installation\, anywhere\, in minutes. Great! \;\n \;\nHow do we take this to production? How do we scale from the single-node set up to a multi-node\, highly-available cluster? \;\n \;\nThrough a whirlwind of live demos\, Jérôme will show how to provision a Swarm clu ster with Docker Machine\, setup overlay networks\, host a local registr y\, deploy ELK to manage logs\, implement load balancing\, and finally u se the resulting platform to build\, ship\, and run a demo application b uilt around a microservices architecture. \;\n \;\n \;\n \; \nJérôme works at Docker\, where he helps others to containerize all the things.

At first glance\, Plain Language is about making content more accessible to people with traumatic brain injury\, cognitive impairments\, dyslexia\, etc. But Plain Language is a bout more than reaching people with medical disabilities.  Plain Languag e is about getting your message through to people who aren’t good reader s\, people who need glasses but don’t have them for a variety of reasons \, rushed readers who are skimming content on their mobile phones\, etc. Committing to Plain Language means you are writing so that everybody ha s a fighting chance!  Tonight we are joined remotely by national speaker \, Whitney Quesenbery\, and in person with Portland expert\, Katney Bair \, as they share their expertise. Join us and learn techniques for how t o clarify your writing!  Lineup/Agenda:  • 6:00 gather/networking • 6:30 presentation begins • Katney will start us off by looking at what is Pl ain Language\, exploring the business side and the numbers. • Whitney wi ll share her experience including usability testing with Plain Language.   • 8:00 presentations wrap-up\, time for Q&\;A and conversation • 8- 8:30 closing/networking Katney Bair \;\n \;\n \;\nKatney is t he principal consultant at Pretty Plain\, a communications company speci alizing in public information. Pretty Plain's communication services com bine copywriting\, graphic design and project management. Clients includ e government agencies\, medical centers\, health insurance companies\, s mall businesses\, public schools\, universities and non-profit organizat ions. Katney’s deep experience in all areas of marketing and communicati ons\, along with her Plain Writing expertise\, help her craft clear mess aging that effectively reaches different groups across different platfor ms.  Whitney Quesenbery Whitney has written three books - A Web for Eve ryone\, Storytelling for User Experience\, and Global UX - to help pract itioners keep users in mind throughout the creative process.  Whitney’s work in Plain Language started with the guide to the first LaserJet 4 an d has continued through projects at organizations like the National Canc er Institute and The Open University in the UK. Now\, most of her work a ims to help voters understand how to participate in democracy from optio ns for voting to making decisions about ballot choices.

A big part of this is having a highly f unctional software development team.   In this Meetup we'll discuss: • W hen to develop software in-house versus outsourcing or partnering with a nother software platform. Some SaaS companies utilize a mix of in-house and outsourced developers. We'll brainstorm various possible approaches. • How do you train new developers?  What approaches have been successfu l and what has been a dismal failure? - Does it make sense to hire senio r developers only or a mix of junior and senior developers? • Team / pro ject organization - Do you do daily standups? How do your organize sprin ts? How are deadlines established and by whom? Is your team in the same office or are some remote? What tools do you use (Slack\, Trello\, etc.) ? With all of the bugs\, feature requests\, UI overhauls\, when do you s hip updates to the product? • Communication and transparency - How do yo u speak to the rest of the team in a language everyone understands? Do y ou hold weekly/bi-weekly meetings to announce progress? How do you showc ase new features to clients? Coffee\, tea and draft beer will be provide d. Come hang out with other SaaS founders and share your story! If there 's more on this topic you would like to discuss\, send us a message and we'll try and get it added to the agenda.\n\nTags: meetup:event=24334639 6\, meetup:group=Portland_SaaS\, open source\, software development\, ne w technology\, internet professionals\, Web Technology\, technology\, mo bile technology\, entrepreneurship\, mobile development\, startup busine sses\, lean startup\, computer programming\, internet startups\n\nImport ed from: http://calagator.org/events/1250472501 URL:https://www.meetup.com/Portland_SaaS/events/243346396/ SUMMARY:Portland SaaS Founders - Developing high functioning software tea ms for SaaS LOCATION:US Custom House / WeWork: 220 NW 8th Avenue\, Portland OR 97209 us SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20171002T171333Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20171011T083000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20171011T053000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20171002T171333Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20171002T171333Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250472593 DESCRIPTION:If you're looking for a way to contribute to open source\, bu t maybe you aren't sure how to get started\, then this is the meetup for you! \;\n \;\nWe'll go over finding ways to contribute to open so urce\, and getting you from 0 to 4 by the end of the month! \;\n \ ;\nFinish 4 pull requests and you'll get a t-shirt via Hacktoberfest! 3\;\n \;\nHacktoberfest is open to everyone in our global community!

Here's David's self-introduction:"\;Sin ce arriving here in ’92 from New York\, Portland has been very\, very go od to me. Like the TV commercial says\, ‘I know a few things because I’v e seen a few things’. I would add that I’ve been blessed to meet some am azing people along the way. I came here courtesy of Intel\, where I work ed for some 17 years\, and where I had the good fortune to reinvent myse lf several times: from motherboards to software-video &\; telecom\, f rom Intel Labs\, to venture investing and internal startups\, I did ever ything I could to try new things\, soak it all in\, and become versatile . After leaving Intel in 2006\, I spent 10 years at ADP Dealer Services (now known as CDK Global) where we built software for Automotive Retaile rs &\; OEMs. Last October – just about 1 year ago – I had the amazing good fortune to join NAVEX Global\, who provides the world’s most compr ehensive Ethics &\; Compliance SaaS platform – and has the inspiring mission of helping organizations protect their people\, reputation\, and bottom line. Our mission really speaks to me because\, as a Boy Scout L eader for 25 years\, I care a lot about integrity and being a servant le ader. In addition to networking relentlessly along the way\, I’ve also f ollowed my passion in Product Management and created ProductCamp Portlan d in 2012. We’re running our 7th camp in March 2018. This one will be ex citing for sure.

That's why so many workers and prospecti ve employees are required to learn Excel to enter or remain in the workp lace. Unfortunately many college students\, recent grads\, and professio nals haven’t mastered Excel or have the adequate Excel skills employers are seeking. According to Payscale\, “ 80 percent of job openings requir e spreadsheet and word-processing software skills. Yet so many people ne ver even give Excel a chance because it has an intimidating stigma aroun d it.” \;\n \;\nIf you walk through the finance or accounting depa rtment at any major corporate office\, you will see computer screens fil led with Excel spreadsheets outlining financial results\, budgets\, fore casts\, and plans used to make big business decisions. Marketing and Pro duct profesionals using Excel to list customer and sales targets\; manag ing thier sales force and planning future marketing plans based on past results. Pivot tables to quickly and easily summarize customer and sales data by category with a quick drag-and drop. HR professionals using gia nt spreadsheets full of employee data and understand exactly where the c osts are coming from and how to best plan and control them for the futur e. Supply logistic professional to manage inventory and forecasts demand . \;\nIn essence\, you can turn an entire department around just beca use you know how to manipulate data in order to get an aggregate view.&# 13\;\n \;\nSTRUCTURE OF COURSE: \;\nAdvanced functions and formula s \;\nLogical functions \;\nConditional functions \;\nFinancial functions \;\nText functions \;\nDate functions \;\nArray form ulas \;\nLookups and data tables \;\nUsing lookup functions \;\ nUsing MATCH and INDEX \;\nCreating data tables \;\nAdvanced data management \;\nValidating cell entries \;\nAdvanced filtering \ ;\nAdvanced charting \;\nChart formatting options \;\nCombination charts \;\nGraphical objects \;\nPivotTables and PivotCharts \; \nWorking with PivotTables \;\nRearranging PivotTables \;\nFormatt ing PivotTables \;\nPivotCharts \;\nExporting and Importing Data&# 13\;\nExporting and importing text files \;\nGetting external data 3\;\nAnalytical Tools \;\nGoal Seek \;\nScenarios \;\nMacros an d Visual Basic \;\nRunning and recording a macro \;\nWorking with VBA code \;\n \;\nBENEFITS \;\nNot only are many business profe ssionals using Excel to perform everyday functional tasks in the workpla ce\, an increasing number of employers rely on Excel for decision suppor t.The ability to analyze data is a powerful skill that helps you make be tter decisions. Microsoft Excel is one of the top tools for data analysi s and the built-in pivot tables are arguably the most popular analytic t ool. \;\n \;\nMAKE YOUR RESUME STAND OUT \;\nThey are NOT seein g if you simply have Excel as a skill. They are diving deeping when it c omes to determining which candidate to interview and hire. They look for Pivot Table\, VLOOKUP\, Macros\, VBA\, Conditional Formatting\, Chartin g and Filtering…These are far more telling of your ability to an employe r then writing Excel. Someone who writes VLOOKUP\, Pivot Table\, Filteri ng demonstrates an ability to analyse data and so has eliminated a poten tial barrier in the mind of the hiring manager reviewing your resume. In essence\, use actual Excel functions in your Resume! \;\n \;\nINC REASE YOUR EARNING POTENTIAL \;\nDid you know that Excel know-how can instantly increase your job prospects as well as your starting salary? Excel is a transferrable skill that any hiring manager understands is cr itical. \;\nResearch shows job applicants who know MS Excel make $22. 66 per hour on average compared to the $20.14 per hour their peers make who don’t know the program. That’s roughly an extra $20 per eight-hour w orkday and $100 per work week\, simply for knowing how to use a single c omputer program. Moreover\, full-time employees in certain industries ca n see a starting salary bump of anywhere from $1\,000 to $7\,000 per yea r based on their Excel skills. That’s not chump change you can ignore.&# 13\;\n \;\nINSPIRING ENTREPRENEUR? \;\nA majority 63 percent of tw enty-somethings want to start their own business. How will you stay orga nized\, track data\, or forecast your finances if you’re not spreadsheet -savvy? \;\nMany millennials simply want their first job. But\, what about your performance once someone hires you? The biggest complaint emp loyers have about millennials is that they lack basic hard and soft skil ls.These skills include things like teamwork and problem solving\, but a lso basic administrative skills like MS Word and Powerpoint. Once you’re hired\, you want to meet the basic requirements of your role without st ressing. \;\n \;\nABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR \;\nMartin Jetton has 30 + years of advanced supply chain analytics\, predictive analytics\, and statistical consulting experience.

C reated by author\, filmmaker\, and professor\, Dr. Wayne Visser\, this f ilm takes an optimistic viewpoint to climate change and innovative solut ions. \;\nDate and Time: June 28\, 2018 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm \; \n \;\nLocation: PSU: Smith Memorial Student Union: Parkway North 182 5 SW Broadway\, Portland\, OR 97201 \;\n \;\nCost: $5 \;\n \ ;\nGoing “circular” refers to the necessary change from our current take -make-waste linear economy to a borrow-use-return circular economy (some times also referred to as the zero-waste or cradle-to-cradle economy).&# 13\;\n \;\nThe key takeaway message from Closing the Loop is that mov ing to a circular economy is not only essential and urgent\, but also en tirely possible\, if we take inspiration from the pioneers\, such as tho se featured in the film\, and scale up similar business models\, product innovations and customer solutions around the world. \;\n \;\nIt will not be easy – and there is no “one size fits all” approach\, as the varied experiences across three continents show – but the circular econ omy revolution is imperative. As presenter Dr Visser puts it: \;\n 3\;\n“If we don’t solve this one problem [i.e. moving from a linear to a circular economy]\, everything else we do\, no matter how well-intentio ned it is\, will be like shifting deck chairs on the Titanic.” \;\n&# 13\;\n“After years spent working on sustainability\, I am convinced that we are on the cusp of a major revolution – nothing short of the next in dustrial revolution. The time for fear-mongering and demonising companie s has past. Now is the time for innovative solutions and positive action . This is nowhere more true than in the do-or-die challenge of creating a circular economy.” \;\n \;\n“We still have much work to do\, but our task could not be more clear. So get inspired and\, to quote Gandhi – a sustainability luminary before his time – be the change you want to see in the world.” \;\n \;\nStay afterward for a brief discussion about the circular economy and how you can apply these powerful princip les to your life and business. \;\n \;\nFor more information about the film\, you can visit www.ClosingtheLoopFilm.com. \;\n \;\nEve nt is co-sponsored by Consious Capitalism Portland and MonicaBourgeau.co m.\n\nTags: innovation\, economy\, manufacturing\, technology\, circular economy\, business\, sustainable\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org /events/1250473864 URL:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/documentary-screening-closing-the-loop-a -film-about-the-circular-economy-revolution-tickets-46239631984 SUMMARY:Documentary Screening: Closing the Loop - A Film About the Circul ar Economy Revolution LOCATION:PSU Smith Memorial Student Union: 1825 Southwest Broadway\, Port land OR 97201 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180611T162202Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180630T140000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180630T130000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180611T162202Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180611T162202Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250473875 DESCRIPTION:Join us online for desktop or mobile at https://zoom.us/j/789 1236789 \;\n \;\nMichael Wild will show us the latest IoT devices and how you can use them in your project. \;\n \;\nDo you want to learn and share your passion in a supportive community?

Our past practices and approaches are failing us and what had worked reliably during more stable times in the past is unfortunate ly proving inadequate for the dynamic present. This course introduces co ncepts which challenge the deeply rooted thinking patterns that have bee n ingrained by years of conventional thinking. \;\n \;\nTake a div e into complexity theory\, and the practical implications for operating in a world of inherent uncertainty. Learn about the Cynefin framework – and how to apply it in organisations\; how to make better decisions\, de pendent on the situation\; as well as a range of practical methods that you can apply directly in organisations. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\n What it’s about: \;\n \;\nComplexity has become a buzzword for the world we work within - this course provides you with the foundational t ools to understand what it means to act and manage in complexity. \;\ n \;\nCynefin and Complexity Foundations forms the core component of Cognitive Edge's training offerings. It contributes the basic scaffolds and key components of your sense-making toolkit for working in complex e nvironments. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nWho it is for: \;\n \; \nThis course designed for people who work in constantly-evolving\, dyna mic situations\, dealing daily with uncertainty and risk\, and looking f or a enhanced compass for building organisations that are both resilient and innovative. Whether you work in an organisation navigating intracta ble problems\, or are a consultant looking to include complexity princip les into your practice - or if you are simply complexity-curious - this Foundations class is for you. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nWhat we wil l cover: \;\n \;\nThis has been designed as a 2-day session - a co mbination of deep immersion into the fundamentals of working in complexi ty\, and with the Cynefin framework.

Digital forensic analysis now plays a pivotal role in both corporate and legal investigations. However\, few outside of the industry understand the intricacies involved in a forensi c undertaking — the capabilities and limitations of the forensics invest igative process\, the role of the digital forensic investigator or the e xtent of the laws governing these actions. \;\n \;\nIn this sessio n\, Tiberius Hefflin\, Founder of Go Boldly\, will delve into the basics of digital forensics. Attendees will learn what digital forensics draws from forensic science\, how the law informs what a forensic investigato r is ethically able to do\, the many uses of digital forensics\, evidenc e collection methods\, anti-forensics methods\, what the incident respon se process should look like and how they can maintain crime scene integr ity until investigators can carry out an assessment. \;\n \;\nWhil e the subject is dense and could certainly be expanded\, this introducti on is aimed at those new to digital forensics with the goal of providing a solid foundational understanding which can be built upon with self di rected learning. \;\n \;\nTrigger Warning: Violent Crime\, Child A buse\, Murder \;\n \;\nWhile the talk will not cover these topics in great detail\, Tiberius Hefflin will be discussing real crimes that h ave been solved due to digital forensics. \;\n \;\nJoin us for a g reat presentation and discussion!

It seems many folks\, sometimes even the professionals already hip deep in the field of tech\ , are unaware of the power their packages wield! The wild hacker kidz at Portland's only non-profit hackerspace are going to show you how to get started with packaged/pre-loaded tools like Burp Suite\, Binwalk\, Wire shark\, Kismet and will also provide you with an overview of the Metaspl oit and Volatility frameworks.

Enjoy these pu ns and more\, in person with MrDe4d\, Cylon\, Wireglitch and the rest of the misfit hackers of PDX this Saturday! After (and probably during) th is presentation\, we will\, as presenters and attendees\, decide on whic h tool (or framework) to focus on for a new bi-monthly workshop. We will set aside time to answer questions\, and hold demonstrations of each ut ility discussed. This is all about what YOU want to learn!! The future w orkshop will be scheduled after all Q&\;A and demos are complete and will take place 2-4 weeks after\, at which point we will continue the se ries until we have completed a thorough review of each tool.Questions? p lease email MrD34d-->\; [masked] or Cylon-->\; [masked].

There are many cliches revolving around hackers and hacker culture that are\, well\, true. For example\, we are night owls\; we thrive in the night and do our best work in the dark. We use caffeine as our main source of energy and Sour Patch Kidz a s our main source of nutrition. We wear black hoodies and carry backpack s full of gear as we stalk through night\, avoiding the moonlight and st icking to the shadows as we totally\, completely\, and utterly ravage th e city's WiFi! Speaking of gear\, here is a general list of items you wi ll need to participate in this quest for[masked]x Total Domination: an A ndroid phone (rooted or not rooted\, with or without Kali installed BUT! You will probably want a rooted Android device because you will need mo nitor mode. You can skip the rooting and use a Raspberry Pi 3 and ssh in to it with a non rooted phone via a terminal app)\, pretty much any Alph a radio\, omni &\; directional antennae\, and an insatiable appetite for learning. If you do not have access to or do not have time to acquir e all or some of the gear listed- do not fret. Stay calm\, and warwarlk on. Actually\, just let us know what you are missing or which item you w ould like to test out and we will do our best to provide (you can let us know via Meetup\, actually\, by answering the question when you RSVP..t his is one of those rare instances in which the question isn't totally s uperfluous.) *MOAR DETAILS*Warwalking is similar to Wardriving except we take to the city on foot\, not in a vehicle. Your hand/eye/foot coordin ation will be put to the ultimate test as you try not to trip and fall a nd result in a 9gag meme while passively collecting node and AP data. Wh ich brings me to a very important point that you may have been wondering about...YES! IT IS LEGAL! As mentioned\, warwalking and wardriving is t he act of PASSIVELY collecting data\, and sometimes taking note of this data (check out warchalking for lulz.)We will meet at PASCAL Hackerspace at 11pm/2300hrs\, and be headed out\, on foot\, at 11:30pm sharp after doing a gear check and making sure everyone is pumped! In case you are n ew to the Portland area\, be warned that light rain is to be expected an y time\, anywhere and you should be sure you're wearing comfortable clot hing. Also\, we will not make fun of you if you decide to go full RPG-mo de (Cylon has been known to dress head to toe as Aiden Pierce for no oth er reason than he felt like it and it is fun!) So\, dust off your combat boot/trench coat ensemble and be Neo for a night! Or keep it simple wit h thick prescription sunglasses and work it like Whistler! Ok\, I'm done alliterating... Questions? Find us on Wire Encrypted Messaging app (it' s like Slack but encrypted!) and send a connection request to MrDe4d (@m rdead) or Wireglitch (@wireglitch).

Moooo o. This Saturday at PASCAL we are offering the Hacker Symposium featurin g a few handy tools of the trade as well as two major frameworks often u sed in developing exploits and attacking systems or networks. We will be surveying several of the tools that are part of Kali\, and easy to inst all on any Debian derived distro. It seems many folks\, sometimes even t he professionals already hip deep in the field of tech\, are unaware of the power their packages wield! The wild hacker kidz at PASCAL are going to show you how to get started with packaged/pre-loaded tools like Burp Suite\, Binwalk\, Wireshark\, Kismet and will also provide you with an overview of the Metasploit and Volatility frameworks. Come take your fir st step with Reverse Engineering at PASCAL using Binwalk! Excuse yoursel f and set up a proxy with Burp Suite! Breath deep and sniff packets with Kismet! Enjoy these puns and more\, in person with MrDe4d\, Cylon\, Wir eglitch and the rest of the misfit hackers of PDX this Saturday! After ( and probably during) this presentation\, we will\, as presenters and att endees\, decide on which tool (or framework) to focus on for this bi-mon thly workshop. We will set aside time to answer questions\, and hold dem onstrations of each utility discussed. This is all about what YOU want t o learn!! The future workshop will be scheduled after all Q&\;A and d emos are complete and will take place 2 weeks after\, at which point we will continue the series until we have completed a thorough review of ea ch tool.Questions? please email MrD34d-->\; [masked] or Cylon-->\; [ masked].

PASCAL is an organization of equal opportuni ty hackers\, and we will be introducing you to all the various types of challenges that you might face at any level\, and at any time in the fie lds of information security and technology as a whole\, for fun or profi t.Hacker/Tech culture and community can sometimes be a bit (or a byte ^_ ^) off-putting\, especially to those trying to figure out what exactly i t is\, what we are and what we do. During this workshop at PASCAL\, we w elcome n00bs with open arms! Never competed in a CTF challenge before? N ever even heard of CTFs? Do you have a strong desire to learn &\; tea ch alongside peers? GOOD!! You will fit right in at Hack2Learn!For the O ctober edition of Hack2Learn\, we will be focusing on web and binary cha llenges. First we will make sure everyone is set up with a virtual machi ne and the OS of their choice (though Kali is recommended\, specifically for the web challenges). For the binary challenges we will install Cutt er which is something of an intro to Radare2. You are encouraged to fami liarize yourself with Cutter and R2 prior to the workshop\; take a look- ->\; https://github.com/radareorg/cutter (note: downloading a VM and/o r installing a new OS is not necessary for using Cutter when working on the binary challenges\, unless you're using Mac OS in which case you wil l need to spin up a VM for either Windows or Linux).Basic understanding of at least one programming language and/or security concepts is helpful \, but not necessary. Honestly\, when we say all you need is a desire to learn\, we mean it!Cylon is setting up a wireless hacking station for O ctober H2L as well\, and will be offering some hands-on experience to an yone interested in the wonderful world of wireless hax!If you have a lap top\, bring it. We have a handful of loaners for those who need them\, a s well as a few desktop PCs for use at the hackerspace. So\, brush off y our social anxiety\, leave your impostor syndrome at the door\, and let your inner hacker take a crack at capture the flag! Questions? Send an e mail to [masked]\, or leave a comment on the meetup page (though we tend to not check that as often.)\n\nTags: meetup:event=254929347\, meetup:g roup=pascalhackerspace\, open source\, python\, electronics\, microcontr ollers\, technology\, network security\, mobile technology\, computer pr ogramming\, open source hardware\, hackspaces\n\nImported from: http://c alagator.org/events/1250474324 URL:https://www.meetup.com/pascalhackerspace/events/254929347/ SUMMARY:PASCAL Hackerspace - Hacking+PASCAL=Hack2Learn LOCATION:226 SE Madison St: 226 Southeast Madison Street\, Portland OR 97 214 us SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181017T060933Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181025T130000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181025T111500 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181017T060933Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181017T060933Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250474455 DESCRIPTION:2018 Women in Technology Leadership Speaker Series \;\ n"\;Bold\, Brave\, Brazen: Thriving in a Male-Dominated Field"\; \;\nby Sierra Modro\, CSP\, Technology Futurist \;\n \; \nThis event is brought to you by Portland SIM Women Committee and is op en to both members and non-members\, and both men and women. \;\n& #13\;\nTopic \;\nHow often do you look around and wonder why you’r e one of the only woman in the room?

We will be surveying several of the tools that are part of Kali\, and easy to install on any Debian derived distro. It seems many folks\, sometimes even the professionals already hip deep in the field of tech\ , are unaware of the power their packages wield! The wild hacker kidz at PASCAL are going to show you how to get started with packaged/pre-loade d tools like Burp Suite\, Binwalk\, Wireshark\, Kismet and will also pro vide you with an overview of the Metasploit and Volatility frameworks. C ome take your first step with Reverse Engineering at PASCAL using Binwal k! Excuse yourself and set up a proxy with Burp Suite! Breath deep and s niff packets with Kismet! Enjoy these puns and more\, in person with MrD e4d\, Cylon\, Wireglitch and the rest of the misfit hackers of PDX this Saturday! After (and probably during) this presentation\, we will\, as p resenters and attendees\, decide on which tool (or framework) to focus o n for a new bi-monthly workshop. We will set aside time to answer questi ons\, and hold demonstrations of each utility discussed. This is all abo ut what YOU want to learn!! The future workshop will be scheduled after all Q&\;A and demos are complete and will take place 2-4 weeks after\ , at which point we will continue the series until we have completed a t horough review of each tool.Questions? please email MrD34d-->\; [maske d] or Cylon-->\; [masked]. We can also be found on the encrypted messa ging app called Wire\, which is available for desktop\, Android and Appl e devices (@mrdead or @wireglitch for invites to the PASCAL channel.)PAS CAL has snacks and drinks for some dollars and cents\, though everyone i s welcome to bring their own food and drink.Final Note: if you RSVP and are no longer able to make it\, please do take the time to change your R SVP so that someone else may attend\, even if it is only an hour before!

Presenters:• Dennis Baker\, KinderCare Educatio n • Kyle Roche\, General Manager\, Amazon Sumerian Schedule: • 6:00 PM: Check-in and Happy Hour • 6:30 PM: Demo and Deep Dive • 7:45 PM: Q&\; A A special thanks to our host KinderCare Education. Headquartered in Po rtland\, KinderCare Education is an experience-based provider of early e ducation and child care\, serving 170\,000 children and their families a cross the country every day. https://aws.amazon.com/sumerian/http://www. kc-education.com/ Details:Take yourself back to 1998\, when the first we bsites were being built. What tool did they use? For many it was a tool like Dreamweaver: expensive\, complex\, on-premise software. Fast forwar d to 2018. What do people use now? Tools like Wordpress\, Wix\, Weebly a nd Shopify. These tools are cloud-based\, pay-as-you-go\, and simple yet powerful. Content creation for the 3D web (including AR and VR) is high friction today. Businesses have devices and problems to solve but the c ontent creation tools feel like we’re stuck in the 90’s. Kyle Roche\, GM of AR/VR at Amazon Web Services\, will discuss how AWS leverages their cloud offerings to simplify content creation for the 3D web. Amazon Sume rian allows non-3D experts to create AR and VR content using only a web browser. Content can be easily published to end-users who then decide ho w they want to consume the experience. Learn how you can develop dynamic \, immersive customer engagements that can experienced via advertising s ignage\, in-store retail displays\, websites\, mobile devices\, or VR he adsets. With Sumerian\, you can build once and publish widely.\n\nTags: meetup:event=254823007\, meetup:group=AWS-Portland\, open source\, softw are development\, new technology\, technology\, cloud computing\, profes sional networking\, big data\, entrepreneurship\, entrepreneur networkin g\, amazon web services\, virtualization\, startup businesses\, iaas (in frastructure as a service)\, technology startups\, creating amazon cloud applications\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250474521 URL:https://www.meetup.com/AWS-Portland/events/254823007/ SUMMARY:Portland AWS User Group - Amazon Sumerian - Create and Host Immer sive AR and VR Content for the 3D Web LOCATION:KinderCare Education: 650 NE Holladay Street\, Portland or 97201 us SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181012T161303Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181113T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181113T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181012T161303Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181012T161303Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250474430 DESCRIPTION:Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an environment-focused \, sustainable lens to review interactions with students within campus a nd remove barriers. \;\n \;\nIn this session we'll discuss: \;\ n \;\n- What is the need currently experienced by post-secondary educ ation in matters of inclusion? \;\n- The changing landscape of access and inclusion in Higher Education. \;\n- how to encourage our own pr actice to recognize these areas of ‘tension’ in current approaches to ac cess. \;\n- Explore o the definition and intentions of Universal Desi gn for Learning. \;\n- Reflect on how UDL might meet the ‘needs’ bein g experienced in Higher Education for a rapid change in access practices . \;\n \;\nOur Speaker: \;\nSamantha John is the Accessible Med ia Coordinator in the Office of Academic Innovation at Portland State Un iversity.

PASCAL Hackerspace will be hostin g the world-renowned Dean Pierce for a presentation and workshop on hack ing smart contracts!! Come learn about the basic concepts surrounding sm art contracts and the latest in keeping them secure! What to expect duri ng a Dean Pierce presentation: knowledge\, verbs\, adjectives\, human ha nd gestures\, an insider look at how smart contracts are created and how they are manipulated\, lulz\, and if we are lucky\, maybe he will shed some light on how smart contract hacks can be applied to one of PASCAL's favorite pastimes- CTFs (fingers crossed this may be included in the wo rkshop portion.) A bit more about Dean. Dean is an OG Portland hacker an d definitely a human. When he isn't making and breaking blockchainz\, he 's out doing human things such as bipedal walking\, eating a food and co nsuming oxygen.

The aim of Calm Technology is to provide principles that follow the human lifestyle and environment in mind\, allowing tech nology to amplify humanness instead of taking it away. \;\n \;\nTh e difference between an annoying technology and one that is helpful is h ow it engages our attention. This workshop will cover how to use princip les of Calm Technology to design the next generation of connected device s. We’ll look at notification styles\, compressing information into othe r senses\, and designing for the least amount of cognitive overhead. \;\n \;\nStructure and activities \;\n \;\nStudents will work i n groups to solve a series of design challenges\, including designing ne w products\, ‘calming down’ a complex ones\, communicating the principle s of Calm Technology across an organization and team\, and entering a pr oduct successfully into the marketplace. \;\n \;\nYou’ll learn how to: \;\n \;\nUse principles of Calm Technology to design the next generation of connected devices. \;\n \;\nDesign appropriate noti fication systems into both physical and software products \;\n \;\ nCommunicate the principles of Calm Technology to your across your organ ization and team \;\n \;\nUse methods of Calm Technology to design technology for generations\, not seasons. \;\n \;\nEnter your pro duct successfully into the marketplace. \;\n \;\nWho is the worksh op for? \;\n \;\nThis workshop is for anyone that actively builds or makes decisions about technology\, especially user experience designe rs\, product designers\, managers\, creative directors and developers.

We will be surveying several of the tools that are part of Kali\, and easy to install on any Debian derived distro. It seems many folks\, sometimes even the professionals already hip deep in the field of tech\ , are unaware of the power their packages wield! The wild hacker kidz at PASCAL are going to show you how to get started with packaged/pre-loade d tools like Burp Suite\, Binwalk\, Wireshark\, Kismet and will also pro vide you with an overview of the Metasploit and Volatility frameworks. C ome take your first step with Reverse Engineering at PASCAL using Binwal k! Excuse yourself and set up a proxy with Burp Suite! Breath deep and s niff packets with Kismet! Enjoy these puns and more\, in person with MrD e4d\, Cylon\, Wireglitch and the rest of the misfit hackers of PDX this Saturday! We will set aside time to answer questions\, and hold demonstr ations of each utility discussed. This is all about what YOU want to lea rn!! The future workshop will be scheduled after all Q&\;A and demos are complete and will take place 2-4 weeks after\, at which point we wil l continue the series until we have completed a thorough review of each tool.Questions? please email MrDe4d-->\; [masked] or Cylon-->\; [mas ked]. We can also be found on the encrypted messaging app called Wire\, which is available for desktop\, Android and Apple devices (@mrdead or @ wireglitch for invites to the PASCAL channel.)PASCAL has snacks and drin ks for some dollars and cents\, though everyone is welcome to bring thei r own food and drink.Final Note: if you RSVP and are no longer able to m ake it\, please do take the time to change your RSVP so that someone els e may attend\, even if it is only an hour before!

(Part 2) Hack2Learn is a bi-m onthly CTF (capture the flag) meetup hosted at PASCAL in Portland\, OR. PASCAL is an organization of equal opportunity hackers\, and we will be introducing you to all the various types of challenges that you might fa ce at any level\, and at any time in the fields of information security and technology as a whole\, for fun or profit.Hacker/Tech culture and co mmunity can sometimes be a bit (or a byte ^_^) off-putting\, especially to those trying to figure out what exactly it is\, what we are and what we do. During this meetup at PASCAL\, we welcome n00bs with open arms! N ever competed in a CTF challenge before? Never even heard of CTFs? Do yo u have a strong desire to learn &\; teach alongside peers? GOOD!! You will fit right in at Hack2Learn! For the next Hack2Learn workshop (yes\ , we are finally getting this event rolling again!)\, we will be taking a crack at Assembly-focused CTF (Capture The Flag) challenges: specifica lly\, the PICOCTF2018Assembly 0-2. MrDe4d will be walking everyone throu gh these challenges\, step by step (pun!) so that everyone in attendance will gain theoretical as well as applicable knowledge.Being able to gai n control of system memory is a powerful skill\, and is a gateway to und erstanding memory structure\, how data is accessed and processed\, how t he OS\, CPU and programs interface with one another and ultimately how t o pwn. A lot of people find Assembly intimidating..and while it may seem daunting and complicated at first glance but\, as with any programming language\, a grasp of logic as well as dedication to learning are all th at are required. In addition to walking you through every step in each c hallenge\, a relatively quickintro to Assembly will be given\, hopefully demystifying it a bit for everyone. MrDe4d will cover basic syntax\, in structions and conditions. As we dive deeper into each aspect of the cha llenges\, we will continue to reiterate what has been covered with Assem bly- we expect questions to be frequent and recurring. It is absolutely OK to ask the same thing more than once\; PASCAL Hack2Learn is a friendl y learning environment!H2L has two major goals: for everyone to capture the flags\, and to learn to reverse engineer. This is not a workshop foc used on learning a tool\, rather it is designed to get attendees thinkin g logically\, critically &\; to get everyone accustomed to being unco mfortable and not knowing the answer.In order to participate\, attendees will need a computer running either Linux (distro of choice though for this workshop Debian flavors are recommended) or Windows with a VM for L inux\, &\; an install of Cutter 1.7.2 (a Radare2 GUI). Note: Running Linux is not absolutely necessary when using Cutter. Both Windows and Ma c are suitable and Cutter will run fine. Cutter still definitely has a l earning curve to it.. fortunately\, there is an excellent tutorial/intro on Megabeets.net! Questions? Email [masked] or get on the PASCAL Discor d and interact with other PDX hackers (ask for invite).\n\nTags: meetup: event=gthzpqyzcbwb\, meetup:group=pascalhackerspace\, open source\, pyth on\, electronics\, microcontrollers\, technology\, network security\, mo bile technology\, computer programming\, open source hardware\, hackspac es\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250474841 URL:https://www.meetup.com/pascalhackerspace/events/257404995/ SUMMARY:PASCAL Hackerspace - Hack2Learn: Hackers\, Assemble!

One of the core goals of our organization is to provide educational opportunities to people in the information security and technical commu nities of Portland\, and with AlgoBytes we get to do exactly that! AlgoB ytes is an informal workshop series to learn a bit more about the formal foundations of the field of computer science and about core data struct ures/algorithms frequently used for interviews\, whether you've never ex plored them before or need a refresher. Each 90 minute session we will f ocus on a different topic\, although we may repeat them if there are req uests to revisit material.

An endpoint security primer in three (?-ish) parts.Part 1: Ma cOSPart 2: WindowsPart 3: Linux Come learn about the other side of the c ybersecurity equation: how to raise the bar for attackers trying to pwn your endpoints. This talk series will focus on sane\, sensible\, and usa ble defaults\; what each operating system can bring to the table\; secur ity through proper configuration\; and small/medium scale distribution a nd management. Part 1: We'll start with a broad overview of securing end points\, the classes of attacks that might be encountered depending on y our use cases\, and what it means to be "\;secure."\; Then\, we' ll talk about configuring macOS for reasonable security\, beginning with the hardware chain of trust\, moving through the bootloader and touchin g on what Apple's hw/sw integration allows for: Activation Locks\, MDM/D EP\, and Software Recovery. Moving up the stack\, we'll discuss the tier s of built-in macOS software security\, and if time permits\, several th ird party options to strengthen endpoint options. Part 2: Let's kick off with quick refresher on previous topics\, and then dive right in to Win dows endpoint security. Because of the diversity of hardware\, there wil l be less low-level focus this session\, but BitLocker\, TPM\, and OPAL will be in the mix. Then\, learn why Secure Boot is not a conspiracy\, h ow Hyper-V is bae\, why Windows 10 is actually the best thing since... e arlier Windows 10 releases!\, what Group Policy can do for you\, and whi ch version of Windows is the minimum necessary for any kind of sanity. P art 3: In the stolen words of Steve Ballmer\, compartmentalize compartme ntalize compartmentalize! We'll talk about mitigating inevitable comprom ise\, and then move to Linux security. Coreboot\, Heads\, and refreshers from PC hardware kick us off\, then it's into the wilderness! We'll try and nail down some best practices for the wide and varied world of Linu x distros\, the security benefits of containers\, why Flatpak is awesome \, and a quick touch on grsecurity (aka "\;why we can't have nice th ings"\;). If there's time\, we'll even try to talk about the securit y benefits of other *nix's like OpenBSD &\; Qubes. Part 4: This is un written\, unplanned and unscheduled\, but part 4 (and 5\, and beyond!) c ould include topics like:- hypervisors! and why trying to share memory h as yet to be a good idea\;- how to do your best to secure them anyway\;- how and why you should deploy hardened and/or minimum viable configurat ions automatically (ansible\, JAMF\, AD/SCCM...) This is intended as a h igh-level overview to get a baseline for each of the three operating sys tems\; content will change and grow based on feedback and requests. Come help me evolve my endpoint security game\, and steer the course for fut ure events!

The general idea of the Build2Learn twice-monthly sessions is to take several categories of tools\, analyze their functionality\, and re-implement them using your language of choice. The goal is not to pres ent a tutorial. The goal is to have discussion around the the process of breaking the problem down into specific use cases and requirements i.e. tasks that can be more easily implemented. The core goal of programming is problem solving\, the aim here is to facilitate and encourage this s kill. There will be a focus on performing code review and encouraging pe ople to demo their progress to the group. Session_0 will focus on the fo llowing: >\;Help individuals setup their development environment>\;M ake sure that the git workflow is well understood>\;Help with a langua ge selectionNote: while there will not be any prescribed languages\,we s uggesteither python or javascript. This is not to deter the use of other languages. Just to suggest that there may be more help available usingso mething listed above.>\;Help users install git for their operating sys tem>\;Help users create a github account and setup git to use it>\;H elp users install language and tooling (if needed)>\;Help users instal l text editor and discuss the merits of different options For more infor mation\, please visit-https://randy5235.github.io/build2learn/ or view t he current repository directly on Github here: https://github.com/randy5 235/build2learn . The purpose of this repository is to provide a resourc e for documentation and source code for the Build2Learn session(s) at PA SCAL Hackerspace.

One of the core goals of our organization is to provide educational opportunities to people in the information security and technical commu nities of Portland\, and with AlgoBytes we get to do exactly that! AlgoB ytes is an informal workshop series to learn a bit more about the formal foundations of the field of computer science and about core data struct ures/algorithms frequently used for interviews\, whether you've never ex plored them before or need a refresher. Each 90 minute session we will f ocus on a different topic\, although we may repeat them if there are req uests to revisit material. Currently there will be 20-30 minutes of pres entation\, a walk through of a problem\, followed by breaking into small groups to practice. Attending sequential events is probably helpful if the material is new to you\, but not required. First Session's Theme: An alysis Foundations What is an algorithm\, besides a scary word?I'm a pra ctical person\, why do I care?What is a data structure?What is complexit y analysis?What is Big O? Big Theta? Big Omega?How do I apply them? Plea se bring your preferred note-taking device(s) and preferred scratch pape r. A laptop with your editor &\; language of choice may be handy for trying out your solutions- especially important if you are prepping for technical interviews\, but is not at all required. The PASCAL board is e xcited to be hosting this event alongside a very accomplished and brilli ant woman in security- Allison Marie Naaktgeboren is a Senior Software E ngineer. She has previously written (and regretted) code at Mozilla\, Am azon\, Cisco\, FactSet Research Systems\, and the Biorobotics Laboratory in Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Institute. Allison holds a Bachelor’s Deg ree in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. A llison is a mentor in the PDXWiT mentorship program\, supports the Women Who Code Portland Algorithms track\, and mentors high school students i n robotics and programming (Go Rebel @lliance!) She is a member of PASCA L &\; the OWASP Portland chapter.\n\nTags: meetup:event=tvsvqqyzdbcc\ , meetup:group=pascalhackerspace\, open source\, python\, electronics\, microcontrollers\, technology\, network security\, mobile technology\, c omputer programming\, open source hardware\, hackspaces\n\nImported from : http://calagator.org/events/1250475119 URL:https://www.meetup.com/pascalhackerspace/events/258949375/ SUMMARY:PASCAL Hackerspace - AlgoBytes: Algorithms for Hackers!

(Part 2) Hack2Learn is a bi-m onthly CTF (capture the flag) meetup hosted at PASCAL in Portland\, OR. PASCAL is an organization of equal opportunity hackers\, and we will be introducing you to all the various types of challenges that you might fa ce at any level\, and at any time in the fields of information security and technology as a whole\, for fun or profit.Hacker/Tech culture and co mmunity can sometimes be a bit (or a byte ^_^) off-putting\, especially to those trying to figure out what exactly it is\, what we are and what we do. During this meetup at PASCAL\, we welcome n00bs with open arms! N ever competed in a CTF challenge before? Never even heard of CTFs? Do yo u have a strong desire to learn &\; teach alongside peers? GOOD!! You will fit right in at Hack2Learn! For the next few Hack2Learn workshops\ , we will be taking a crack at Assembly-focused CTF (Capture The Flag) a nd reversing challenges. MrDe4d will be walking everyone through these c hallenges\, step by step (pun!) so that everyone in attendance will gain theoretical as well as applicable knowledge.Being able to gain control of system memory is a powerful skill\, and is a gateway to understanding memory structure\, how data is accessed and processed\, how the OS\, CP U and programs interface with one another and ultimately how to pwn. A l ot of people find Assembly intimidating..and while it may seem daunting and complicated at first glance but\, as with any programming language\, a grasp of logic as well as dedication to learning are all that are req uired. In addition to walking you through every step in each challenge\, a relatively quickintro to Assembly will be given\, hopefully demystify ing it a bit for everyone. MrDe4d will cover basic syntax\, instructions and conditions. As we dive deeper into each aspect of the challenges\, we will continue to reiterate what has been covered with Assembly- we ex pect questions to be frequent and recurring. It is absolutely OK to ask the same thing more than once\; PASCAL Hack2Learn is a friendly learning environment!H2L has two major goals: for everyone to capture the flags\ , and to learn to reverse. This is not a workshop focused on learning a tool (though we do use Cutter often)\, rather it is designed to get atte ndees thinking logically\, critically &\; to get everyone accustomed to being uncomfortable and not knowing the answer.In order to participat e\, attendees will need a computer and an install of Cutter 1.7.4 (a Rad are2 GUI that can be used with Linux\, Windows or Mac). Note: Running Li nux is not absolutely necessary when using Cutter. Both Windows and Mac are suitable and Cutter will run fine. Cutter still definitely has a lea rning curve to it.. the tutorial/intro on Megabeets.net is recommended. Questions? Email [masked] or get on the PASCAL Discord and interact with other PDX hackers (ask for invite).\n\nTags: meetup:event=fvgzqqyzdblc\ , meetup:group=pascalhackerspace\, open source\, python\, electronics\, microcontrollers\, technology\, network security\, mobile technology\, c omputer programming\, open source hardware\, hackspaces\n\nImported from : http://calagator.org/events/1250475121 URL:https://www.meetup.com/pascalhackerspace/events/258815989/ SUMMARY:PASCAL Hackerspace - Hack2Learn: Hackers\, Assemble!

An endpoint security primer in three (?-ish) parts.Part 1: Ma cOSPart 2: WindowsPart 3: Linux Come learn about the other side of the c ybersecurity equation: how to raise the bar for attackers trying to pwn your endpoints. This talk series will focus on sane\, sensible\, and usa ble defaults\; what each operating system can bring to the table\; secur ity through proper configuration\; and small/medium scale distribution a nd management. Part 1: We'll start with a broad overview of securing end points\, the classes of attacks that might be encountered depending on y our use cases\, and what it means to be "\;secure."\; Then\, we' ll talk about configuring macOS for reasonable security\, beginning with the hardware chain of trust\, moving through the bootloader and touchin g on what Apple's hw/sw integration allows for: Activation Locks\, MDM/D EP\, and Software Recovery. Moving up the stack\, we'll discuss the tier s of built-in macOS software security\, and if time permits\, several th ird party options to strengthen endpoint options. Part 2: Let's kick off with quick refresher on previous topics\, and then dive right in to Win dows endpoint security. Because of the diversity of hardware\, there wil l be less low-level focus this session\, but BitLocker\, TPM\, and OPAL will be in the mix. Then\, learn why Secure Boot is not a conspiracy\, h ow Hyper-V is bae\, why Windows 10 is actually the best thing since... e arlier Windows 10 releases!\, what Group Policy can do for you\, and whi ch version of Windows is the minimum necessary for any kind of sanity. P art 3: In the stolen words of Steve Ballmer\, compartmentalize compartme ntalize compartmentalize! We'll talk about mitigating inevitable comprom ise\, and then move to Linux security. Coreboot\, Heads\, and refreshers from PC hardware kick us off\, then it's into the wilderness! We'll try and nail down some best practices for the wide and varied world of Linu x distros\, the security benefits of containers\, why Flatpak is awesome \, and a quick touch on grsecurity (aka "\;why we can't have nice th ings"\;). If there's time\, we'll even try to talk about the securit y benefits of other *nix's like OpenBSD &\; Qubes. Part 4: This is un written\, unplanned and unscheduled\, but part 4 (and 5\, and beyond!) c ould include topics like:- hypervisors! and why trying to share memory h as yet to be a good idea\;- how to do your best to secure them anyway\;- how and why you should deploy hardened and/or minimum viable configurat ions automatically (ansible\, JAMF\, AD/SCCM...) This is intended as a h igh-level overview to get a baseline for each of the three operating sys tems\; content will change and grow based on feedback and requests. Come help me evolve my endpoint security game\, and steer the course for fut ure events! This series is brought to you by PASCAL Hackerspace\, and pr esented by Magneto (the hacker\, not the mutant...ok well\, he *could* b e a mutant for all we know...)Magneto is: prototyping the future. trying to kill sleep.

There are countles s applications that can put meditation in the palm of your hand\, and al low a guru to live in your pocket. How is the technology that is suppose d to balance us throwing the rest of our life into imbalance? \;\n 3\;\nEnter mindfulness. A tenet of Eastern philosophies for centuries\, now it’s a comprehensive inclusion in the therapeutic arsenals of therap ist’s\, psychologist’s\, and psychiatrist’s toolkits. \;\n \;\nUsi ng mindfulness allows for awareness of the present moment through attent ion and non-judgement. But now\, mindfulness can be used as an accommoda tion. This talk will show how people with disabilities fuse with technol ogy and vice versa. This can be done as a great boon for a person’s ment al health and wellness. Mindfulness is essentially vigilance before acti ng. It prevents against impulsive actions\, and is a discipline of thoug ht. It’s like taking that extra step before you buy junk food at grocery store while you’re hungry and asking\, do I need this? But being mindfu l in technology design means a focus on the design that works for the pe rson in the moment. Our presentation will focus on how accessible design can accommodate mental health disabilities. Instead of impulsively choo sing accommodating or try to fit a square peg in a round hole\, it’s cha nging a way of thought. This presentation will be focused around user em powerment\, but also be a call to action for developers. Through case st udies that we will present with actual data and use feedback\, we’ll arg ue that being aware is crucial for technology\, especially accessibility . \;\n \;\nAbout Sharon Rosenblatt Sharon Rosenblatt is an accessi bility professional working to improve the overall experience by a user with disabilities. She has been a part of the Accessibility Partners tea m for the over eight years\, and specializes in document remediation and web compliance testing. Her efforts have enabled developers and manufac turers to see the tremendous potential that accessibility has not just f or users with disabilities\, but of all abilities. \;\n \;\nShe is a strong advocate for abolishing the stigma of mental health and resear ching accomodations in the workplace to support a mental health diagnosi s. With her enthusiasm highlighted in several publications like The Wall Street Journal\, The Washington Post\, Fast Company\, Information Week\ , CNN\, Mint.com\, and more\, Sharon enjoys participating in the constan t dialogue between accessibility and innovation.\n\nTags: meetup:event=2 59055719\, meetup:group=Portland-Accessibility-and-User-Experience-Meetu p\, web design\, technology\, accessibility\, user experience\, usabilit y\, accessible web design\, User Research\, universal design\, accessibl e technology\, mobile user experience\, inclusive design\, a11y\, wcag\, web accessibility\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250475 128 URL:https://www.meetup.com/Portland-Accessibility-and-User-Experience-Mee tup/events/259055719/ SUMMARY:Portland Accessibility and User Experience Meetup (PDX A11Y UX) - Mindful Design: Accessibility for Mental Health LOCATION:Cvent: 308 SW 2nd Ave\, Portland OR 97204 us SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190307T031154Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190313T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190313T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190307T031154Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190307T031154Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250475205 DESCRIPTION:Waffle 0day is upon us!

The general idea of the Build2Learn twice-monthly sessions is to take several categories of tools\, analyze their functionality\, and re-implement them using your language of choice. The goal is not to pres ent a tutorial. The goal is to have discussion around the process of bre aking the problem down into specific use cases and requirements\, i.e. t asks that can be more easily implemented. The core goal of programming i s problem solving\, the aim here is to facilitate and encourage this ski ll. There will be a focus on performing code review and encouraging peop le to demo their progress to the group. Session_0 will focus on the foll owing: >\;Help individuals set up their development environment>\;Ma ke sure that the git workflow is well understood>\;Help with a languag e selectionNote: while there will not be any prescribed languages\,we su ggesteither python or javascript. This is not to deter the use of otherl anguages. Just to suggest that there may be more help available usingsom ething listed above.>\;Help users install git for their operating syst em>\;Help users create a github account and setup git to use it>\;He lp users install language and tooling (if needed)>\;Help users install text editor and discuss the merits of different options For more inform ation\, please visit-https://randy5235.github.io/build2learn/ or view th e current repository directly on Github here: https://github.com/randy52 35/build2learn .

If you live in Oregon or Washington state\, your face data is stored in you r state's driver license database. Both states use facial recognition so ftware to prevent driver license fraud and neither currently shares thei r databases with law enforcement. But what if that changes? \;\n \ ;\nFacial recognition can be useful for some things\, like unlocking our phones\, but companies and governments can also use the technology for their own purposes — without our consent. While the technology has made great advances in accuracy\, many programs still have difficulty with da rker faces\, women\, and children. And a number of questions still exist in other areas including privacy\, consent\, discrimination\, and wheth er the technology will be used for general\, suspicionless surveillance. \;\n \;\nClare Garvie and her colleagues at Georgetown Law's Cent er on Privacy and Technology did a year-long investigation on police use of facial recognition\, and the result of their research is a paper cal led "\;The Perpetual Line-Up: Unregulated Police Face Recognition in America"\; (https://www.perpetuallineup.org/). She'll share insight s from the study and tell us how the information has already been put to use in shaping policy for the use of facial recognition technology by g overnment. She'll be speaking to both groups\, Seattle TA3M and us\, via teleconference. \;\n \;\nJoin us for a great presentation and dis cussion about facial recognition! We'll have snacks\, and there will be an opportunity for networking afterwards. We hope to see you there! \;\n \;\n \;\nSchedule: \;\n \;\n6:55 PM: Doors \;\n \;\n7:00 PM: Introductions \;\n \;\n7:10 PM: Presentation \;\ n \;\n \;\nSpeaker bio: \;\n \;\nClare Garvie joined the Cen ter on Privacy and Technology as a Law Fellow after graduating from Geor getown Law in 2015\, and now serves as a Senior Associate. In 2016\, she was lead author of The Perpetual Line-Up: Unregulated Police Face Recog nition in America. Her current research continues to focus on the use of face recognition by law enforcement and the ways activists\, public def enders\, and policymakers can ensure the technology is under control.

An endpoint security primer in three (?-ish) parts.Part 1: Ma cOSPart 2: WindowsPart 3: Linux Come learn about the other side of the c ybersecurity equation: how to raise the bar for attackers trying to pwn your endpoints. This talk series will focus on sane\, sensible\, and usa ble defaults\; what each operating system can bring to the table\; secur ity through proper configuration\; and small/medium scale distribution a nd management. Part 1: We'll start with a broad overview of securing end points\, the classes of attacks that might be encountered depending on y our use cases\, and what it means to be "\;secure."\; Then\, we' ll talk about configuring macOS for reasonable security\, beginning with the hardware chain of trust\, moving through the bootloader and touchin g on what Apple's hw/sw integration allows for: Activation Locks\, MDM/D EP\, and Software Recovery. Moving up the stack\, we'll discuss the tier s of built-in macOS software security\, and if time permits\, several th ird party options to strengthen endpoint options. Part 2: Let's kick off with quick refresher on previous topics\, and then dive right in to Win dows endpoint security. Because of the diversity of hardware\, there wil l be less low-level focus this session\, but BitLocker\, TPM\, and OPAL will be in the mix. Then\, learn why Secure Boot is not a conspiracy\, h ow Hyper-V is bae\, why Windows 10 is actually the best thing since... e arlier Windows 10 releases!\, what Group Policy can do for you\, and whi ch version of Windows is the minimum necessary for any kind of sanity. P art 3: In the stolen words of Steve Ballmer\, compartmentalize compartme ntalize compartmentalize! We'll talk about mitigating inevitable comprom ise\, and then move to Linux security. Coreboot\, Heads\, and refreshers from PC hardware kick us off\, then it's into the wilderness! We'll try and nail down some best practices for the wide and varied world of Linu x distros\, the security benefits of containers\, why Flatpak is awesome \, and a quick touch on grsecurity (aka "\;why we can't have nice th ings"\;). If there's time\, we'll even try to talk about the securit y benefits of other *nix's like OpenBSD &\; Qubes. Part 4: This is un written\, unplanned and unscheduled\, but part 4 (and 5\, and beyond!) c ould include topics like:- hypervisors! and why trying to share memory h as yet to be a good idea\;- how to do your best to secure them anyway\;- how and why you should deploy hardened and/or minimum viable configurat ions automatically (ansible\, JAMF\, AD/SCCM...) This is intended as a h igh-level overview to get a baseline for each of the three operating sys tems\; content will change and grow based on feedback and requests. Come help me evolve my endpoint security game\, and steer the course for fut ure events!

AlgoBytes is an informal workshop series to learn a bit more about the formal fou ndations of the field of computer science and about core data structures /algorithms frequently used for interviews\, whether you've never explor ed them before or need a refresher. This session we have a very talented guest speaker. Talk Abstract: Rust is a new systems programming languag e\, designed to compete with C and C++. Rust ensures memory and thread s afety\, with minimal (often zero) overhead. Rust brings many modern comf orts to systems programming\, like dependency management and an extensiv e public package registry. Mozilla is rewriting portions of its Firefox web browser in Rust to improve its performance and security. In this tal k\, I'll explain the key design decisions that make Rust interesting\, a nd do some live coding to give a sense of what the language is like to w ork with. Speaker Bio: Jim Blandy has been a professional programmer for 28 years\, working for the Free Software Foundation\, Red Hat\, and Moz illa. He has been a maintainer of GNU Emacs\, GNU Guile\, and the GNU De bugger (GDB)\, and is one of the original designers of the Subversion ve rsion control system. He is a co-author of the book Programming Rust fro m O'Reilly.

The class will beg in with a basic overview of what networks are\; from conversations and s nail mail to signal processing and radio operations (including ham radio !)\, ultimately leading into computer networks. We will review each aspe ct that comprises a network (paying special attention to protocols)\, ho w they function and eventually moving on to how they can be exploited! T he focus will predominantly be on TCP/IP and the OSI model computer netw orks. Layers\, abstraction and encapsulation will be covered as well as the various physical and data link layers of each model. Each of the TCP /IP and OSI layers will be explained in detail\, with some extra special attention being paid to the Transport Layer and its packets! The end of the presentation will culminate in a hands-on workshop. Attendees will get assistance with installing Wireshark (if you do not already have it) - then proceed with live Network Forensics Seek and Pwn: capture\, inves tigate\, analyze! Malcolm is a threat researcher with a major networking and security company\, and has been doing networking for way too long. He wants to help other hackers learn the wonderful and weird world of pa ckets\, and all the terrible things you can do with them.\n\nTags: meetu p:event=259919433\, meetup:group=pascalhackerspace\, open source\, pytho n\, electronics\, microcontrollers\, technology\, network security\, mob ile technology\, computer programming\, open source hardware\, hackspace s\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250475274 URL:https://www.meetup.com/pascalhackerspace/events/259919433/ SUMMARY:PASCAL Hackerspace - Network Forensics: Seek and Pwn LOCATION:PASCAL: 226 SE Madison St\, Ste.

PASCAL is an organization of equal opport unity hackers\, and we will be introducing you to various types of rever se engineering and binary challenges that you might face at any level\, and at any time in the fields of information security and technology as a whole\, for fun or profit.Hacker/Tech culture and community can someti mes be a bit (or a byte ^_^) off-putting\, especially to those trying to figure out what exactly it is\, what we are and what we do. During this meetup at PASCAL\, we welcome n00bs with open arms! Never competed in a CTF challenge before? Never even heard of CTFs? Do you have a strong de sire to learn &\; teach alongside peers? GOOD!! You will fit right in at Hack2Learn! For the next several Hack2Learn workshops\, we will be t aking a crack at Assembly-focused CTF (Capture The Flag) and reversing c hallenges\, specifically microcorruption. MrDe4d will start by giving a short presentation on a particular aspect of the theory behind ASM (last time we talked about ISRs in MSP430 MCUs). The goal of the presentation prior to the challenge is to (hopefully) help everyone in attendance to gain theoretical as well as practical knowledge.Being able to gain cont rol of system memory is a powerful skill\, and is a gateway to understan ding memory structure\, how data is accessed and processed\, how the OS\ , CPU and programs interface with one another and ultimately how to pwn. Throughout the series we will cover basic syntax\, instructions\, condi tions\, and more! As we dive deeper into each aspect of the challenges\, we will continue to reiterate what has been covered with Assembly- we e xpect questions to be frequent and recurring. It is absolutely OK to ask the same thing more than once\; PASCAL Hack2Learn is a friendly learnin g environment!H2L has two major goals: for everyone to capture the flags \, and to learn to reverse. This is not a workshop focused on learning a tool (though we do use Cutter)\, rather it is designed to get attendees thinking logically\, critically &\; to get everyone accustomed to be ing uncomfortable and not knowing the answer.As we will be focusing on m icrocorruption CTF challenges for the next several workshops\, it is not necessary to have Cutter or any other debugger installed. Microcorrupti on has its own web based debugger that is very easy to learn and use! Qu estions? Email [masked] or get on the PASCAL Discord and interact with o ther PDX hackers (ask for invite).\n\nTags: meetup:event=fvgzqqyzfblc\, meetup:group=pascalhackerspace\, open source\, python\, electronics\, mi crocontrollers\, technology\, network security\, mobile technology\, com puter programming\, open source hardware\, hackspaces\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250475253 URL:https://www.meetup.com/pascalhackerspace/events/258949662/ SUMMARY:PASCAL Hackerspace - Hack2Learn: Hackers\, Assemble!

The general idea of the Build2Learn twice-monthly sessions is to take several categories of tools\, analyze their functionality\, and re-implement them using your language of choice. The goal is not to pres ent a tutorial. The goal is to have discussion around the process of bre aking the problem down into specific use cases and requirements\, i.e. t asks that can be more easily implemented. The core goal of programming i s problem solving\, the aim here is to facilitate and encourage this ski ll. There will be a focus on performing code review and encouraging peop le to demo their progress to the group. Session_0 will focus on the foll owing: >\;Help individuals set up their development environment>\;Ma ke sure that the git workflow is well understood>\;Help with a languag e selectionNote: while there will not be any prescribed languages\,we su ggesteither python or javascript. This is not to deter the use of otherl anguages. Just to suggest that there may be more help available usingsom ething listed above.>\;Help users install git for their operating syst em>\;Help users create a github account and setup git to use it>\;He lp users install language and tooling (if needed)>\;Help users install text editor and discuss the merits of different options For more inform ation\, please visit-https://randy5235.github.io/build2learn/ or view th e current repository directly on Github here: https://github.com/randy52 35/build2learn .

An endpoint security primer in three (?-ish) parts.Part 1: Ma cOSPart 2: WindowsPart 3: Linux Come learn about the other side of the c ybersecurity equation: how to raise the bar for attackers trying to pwn your endpoints. This talk series will focus on sane\, sensible\, and usa ble defaults\; what each operating system can bring to the table\; secur ity through proper configuration\; and small/medium scale distribution a nd management. Part 1: We'll start with a broad overview of securing end points\, the classes of attacks that might be encountered depending on y our use cases\, and what it means to be "\;secure."\; Then\, we' ll talk about configuring macOS for reasonable security\, beginning with the hardware chain of trust\, moving through the bootloader and touchin g on what Apple's hw/sw integration allows for: Activation Locks\, MDM/D EP\, and Software Recovery. Moving up the stack\, we'll discuss the tier s of built-in macOS software security\, and if time permits\, several th ird party options to strengthen endpoint options. Part 2: Let's kick off with quick refresher on previous topics\, and then dive right in to Win dows endpoint security. Because of the diversity of hardware\, there wil l be less low-level focus this session\, but BitLocker\, TPM\, and OPAL will be in the mix. Then\, learn why Secure Boot is not a conspiracy\, h ow Hyper-V is bae\, why Windows 10 is actually the best thing since... e arlier Windows 10 releases!\, what Group Policy can do for you\, and whi ch version of Windows is the minimum necessary for any kind of sanity. P art 3: In the stolen words of Steve Ballmer\, compartmentalize compartme ntalize compartmentalize! We'll talk about mitigating inevitable comprom ise\, and then move to Linux security. Coreboot\, Heads\, and refreshers from PC hardware kick us off\, then it's into the wilderness! We'll try and nail down some best practices for the wide and varied world of Linu x distros\, the security benefits of containers\, why Flatpak is awesome \, and a quick touch on grsecurity (aka "\;why we can't have nice th ings"\;). If there's time\, we'll even try to talk about the securit y benefits of other *nix's like OpenBSD &\; Qubes. Part 4: This is un written\, unplanned and unscheduled\, but part 4 (and 5\, and beyond!) c ould include topics like:- hypervisors! and why trying to share memory h as yet to be a good idea\;- how to do your best to secure them anyway\;- how and why you should deploy hardened and/or minimum viable configurat ions automatically (ansible\, JAMF\, AD/SCCM...) This is intended as a h igh-level overview to get a baseline for each of the three operating sys tems\; content will change and grow based on feedback and requests.

We'll have plenty of time at the start and end of the meetu p for tasty beverages and networking. ---Using Wireframes to Communicate Product VisionAmy King\, Software Product Manager at Digimarc Over the past year\, I learned how designing\, creating\, and sharing wireframes greatly facilitate communication both for the overall product vision tha t impacts multiple teams\, and prepping smaller product features for eng ineers. For product managers that did not have a graphics background lik e me\, "\;design"\; is an intimidating skill to tackle\, but one that is valuable when working with engineers\, designers\, and marketin g teams. In this presentation\, I will share:1) How I got started2) A co uple examples of how I used wireframes to align multiple teams to work t owards the same product vision3) Recommendations and pros/cons of differ ent wireframing software to help people get started Amy King is a softwa re product manager. she likes learning about different industries and ho w people use technology in their jobs\, then figure out how her team can build software to help people be more efficient with their work ---Supe rcharging User Engagement by Supporting Autonomy: Practical Motivation S cience for Product ManagersJahed Momand\, Head of Product Management at Conversa Health The talk of the town in theories of behavior change in t echnology center on centuries old behaviorism\, such as BJ Fogg's Behavi or Model or Nir Eyal's Hook Model. But\, what if you're trying to precip itate a user behavior that's complex? That happens over long time domain s? That isn't immediately rewardable? How do you support users in findin g the motivation to interact with your product\, when push notifications just won't do the trick? I'll talk about how we applied the science of motivation\, Edward Deci's self-determination theory\, to product design at Conversa Health\, for outsized gains in patient engagement\, retenti on\, and NPS. Jahed heads up the product team at Conversa Health\, an au tomated care management chatbot for health systems\, leading them to suc cessful A and B rounds of funding during his tenure. Before\, he led the product growth team at Zoomcare\, where he increased revenue and visits 240% over 18 rapid fire months\, leading up to their acquisition by Pea ce Health. Before that he worked with Dan Ariely of Predictably Irration al fame on applying behavioral economics to projects within Google\, and worked in the adtech industry applying behavioral science to ad units ( he's not proud of this work).

One of the core goals of our organization is to provide educational opportunities to people in the information security and technical commu nities of Portland\, and with AlgoBytes we get to do exactly that! AlgoB ytes is an informal workshop series to learn a bit more about the formal foundations of the field of computer science and about core data struct ures/algorithms frequently used for interviews\, whether you've never ex plored them before or need a refresher. Each 90 minute session we will f ocus on a different topic\, although we may repeat them if there are req uests to revisit material. Currently there will be 20-30 minutes of pres entation\, a walk through of a problem\, followed by breaking into small groups to practice. Attending sequential events is probably helpful if the material is new to you\, but not required. First Session's Theme: An alysis Foundations What is an algorithm\, besides a scary word?I'm a pra ctical person\, why do I care?What is a data structure?What is complexit y analysis?What is Big O? Big Theta? Big Omega?How do I apply them? Plea se bring your preferred note-taking device(s) and preferred scratch pape r. A laptop with your editor &\; language of choice may be handy for trying out your solutions- especially important if you are prepping for technical interviews\, but is not at all required. The PASCAL board is e xcited to be hosting this event alongside a very accomplished and brilli ant woman in security- Allison Marie Naaktgeboren is a Senior Software E ngineer. She has previously written (and regretted) code at Mozilla\, Am azon\, Cisco\, FactSet Research Systems\, and the Biorobotics Laboratory in Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Institute. Allison holds a Bachelor’s Deg ree in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. A llison is a mentor in the PDXWiT mentorship program\, supports the Women Who Code Portland Algorithms track\, and mentors high school students i n robotics and programming (Go Rebel @lliance!)

It will be our first crack at embedded device security as a group. For more details- come see PASCAL next Thursday! **END NOTE** H ack2Learn is a bi-monthly CTF (capture the flag) meetup hosted at PASCAL in Portland\, OR. PASCAL is an organization of equal opportunity hacker s\, and we will be introducing you to various types of reverse engineeri ng and binary challenges that you might face at any level\, and at any t ime in the fields of information security and technology as a whole\, fo r fun or profit.Hacker/Tech culture and community can sometimes be a bit (or a byte ^_^) off-putting\, especially to those trying to figure out what exactly it is\, what we are and what we do. During this meetup at P ASCAL\, we welcome n00bs with open arms! Never competed in a CTF challen ge before? Never even heard of CTFs? Do you have a strong desire to lear n &\; teach alongside peers? GOOD!! You will fit right in at Hack2Lea rn! For the next several Hack2Learn workshops\, we will be taking a crac k at Assembly-focused CTF (Capture The Flag) and reversing challenges\, specifically microcorruption. MrDe4d will start by giving a short presen tation on a particular aspect of the theory behind ASM (last time we tal ked about ISRs in MSP430 MCUs). The goal of the presentation prior to th e challenge is to (hopefully) help everyone in attendance to gain theore tical as well as practical knowledge.Being able to gain control of syste m memory is a powerful skill\, and is a gateway to understanding memory structure\, how data is accessed and processed\, how the OS\, CPU and pr ograms interface with one another and ultimately how to pwn. Throughout the series we will cover basic syntax\, instructions\, conditions\, and more! As we dive deeper into each aspect of the challenges\, we will con tinue to reiterate what has been covered with Assembly- we expect questi ons to be frequent and recurring. It is absolutely OK to ask the same th ing more than once\; PASCAL Hack2Learn is a friendly learning environmen t!H2L has two major goals: for everyone to capture the flags\, and to le arn to reverse. This is not a workshop focused on learning a tool (thoug h we do use Cutter)\, rather it is designed to get attendees thinking lo gically\, critically &\; to get everyone accustomed to being uncomfor table and not knowing the answer.As we will be focusing on microcorrupti on CTF challenges for the next several workshops\, it is not necessary t o have Cutter or any other debugger installed. Microcorruption has its o wn web based debugger that is very easy to learn and use! Questions?

The general idea of the Build2Learn twice-monthly sessions is to take several categories of tools\, analyze their functionality\, and re-implement them using your language of choice. The goal is not to pres ent a tutorial. The goal is to have discussion around the process of bre aking the problem down into specific use cases and requirements\, i.e. t asks that can be more easily implemented. The core goal of programming i s problem solving\, the aim here is to facilitate and encourage this ski ll. There will be a focus on performing code review and encouraging peop le to demo their progress to the group. Session_0 will focus on the foll owing: >\;Help individuals set up their development environment>\;Ma ke sure that the git workflow is well understood>\;Help with a languag e selectionNote: while there will not be any prescribed languages\,we su ggesteither python or javascript. This is not to deter the use of otherl anguages. Just to suggest that there may be more help available usingsom ething listed above.>\;Help users install git for their operating syst em>\;Help users create a github account and setup git to use it>\;He lp users install language and tooling (if needed)>\;Help users install text editor and discuss the merits of different options For more inform ation\, please visit-https://randy5235.github.io/build2learn/ or view th e current repository directly on Github here: https://github.com/randy52 35/build2learn .

An endpoint security primer in three (?-ish) parts.Part 1: Ma cOSPart 2: WindowsPart 3: Linux Come learn about the other side of the c ybersecurity equation: how to raise the bar for attackers trying to pwn your endpoints. This talk series will focus on sane\, sensible\, and usa ble defaults\; what each operating system can bring to the table\; secur ity through proper configuration\; and small/medium scale distribution a nd management. Part 1: We'll start with a broad overview of securing end points\, the classes of attacks that might be encountered depending on y our use cases\, and what it means to be "\;secure."\; Then\, we' ll talk about configuring macOS for reasonable security\, beginning with the hardware chain of trust\, moving through the bootloader and touchin g on what Apple's hw/sw integration allows for: Activation Locks\, MDM/D EP\, and Software Recovery. Moving up the stack\, we'll discuss the tier s of built-in macOS software security\, and if time permits\, several th ird party options to strengthen endpoint options. Part 2: Let's kick off with quick refresher on previous topics\, and then dive right in to Win dows endpoint security. Because of the diversity of hardware\, there wil l be less low-level focus this session\, but BitLocker\, TPM\, and OPAL will be in the mix. Then\, learn why Secure Boot is not a conspiracy\, h ow Hyper-V is bae\, why Windows 10 is actually the best thing since... e arlier Windows 10 releases!\, what Group Policy can do for you\, and whi ch version of Windows is the minimum necessary for any kind of sanity. P art 3: In the stolen words of Steve Ballmer\, compartmentalize compartme ntalize compartmentalize! We'll talk about mitigating inevitable comprom ise\, and then move to Linux security. Coreboot\, Heads\, and refreshers from PC hardware kick us off\, then it's into the wilderness! We'll try and nail down some best practices for the wide and varied world of Linu x distros\, the security benefits of containers\, why Flatpak is awesome \, and a quick touch on grsecurity (aka "\;why we can't have nice th ings"\;). If there's time\, we'll even try to talk about the securit y benefits of other *nix's like OpenBSD &\; Qubes. Part 4: This is un written\, unplanned and unscheduled\, but part 4 (and 5\, and beyond!) c ould include topics like:- hypervisors! and why trying to share memory h as yet to be a good idea\;- how to do your best to secure them anyway\;- how and why you should deploy hardened and/or minimum viable configurat ions automatically (ansible\, JAMF\, AD/SCCM...) This is intended as a h igh-level overview to get a baseline for each of the three operating sys tems\; content will change and grow based on feedback and requests.

One of the core goals of our organization is to provide educational opportunities to people in the information security and technical commu nities of Portland\, and with AlgoBytes we get to do exactly that! AlgoB ytes is an informal workshop series to learn a bit more about the formal foundations of the field of computer science and about core data struct ures/algorithms frequently used for interviews\, whether you've never ex plored them before or need a refresher. Each 90 minute session we will f ocus on a different topic\, although we may repeat them if there are req uests to revisit material. Currently there will be 20-30 minutes of pres entation\, a walk through of a problem\, followed by breaking into small groups to practice. Attending sequential events is probably helpful if the material is new to you\, but not required. Theme: Hashes &\; Hash ing. Please bring your preferred note-taking device(s) and preferred scr atch paper. A laptop with your editor &\; language of choice may be h andy for trying out your solutions- especially important if you are prep ping for technical interviews\, but is not at all required. The PASCAL b oard is excited to be hosting this event alongside a very accomplished a nd brilliant woman in security- Allison Marie Naaktgeboren is a Senior S oftware Engineer. She has previously written (and regretted) code at Moz illa\, Amazon\, Cisco\, FactSet Research Systems\, and the Biorobotics L aboratory in Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Institute. Allison holds a Bache lor’s Degree in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University in Pitt sburgh. Allison is a mentor in the PDXWiT mentorship program\, supports the Women Who Code Portland Algorithms track\, and mentors high school s tudents in robotics and programming (Go Rebel @lliance!)

It will be our first crack at embedded device security as a group. For more details- come see PASCAL next Thursday! **END NOTE** H ack2Learn is a bi-monthly CTF (capture the flag) meetup hosted at PASCAL in Portland\, OR. PASCAL is an organization of equal opportunity hacker s\, and we will be introducing you to various types of reverse engineeri ng and binary challenges that you might face at any level\, and at any t ime in the fields of information security and technology as a whole\, fo r fun or profit.Hacker/Tech culture and community can sometimes be a bit (or a byte ^_^) off-putting\, especially to those trying to figure out what exactly it is\, what we are and what we do. During this meetup at P ASCAL\, we welcome n00bs with open arms! Never competed in a CTF challen ge before? Never even heard of CTFs? Do you have a strong desire to lear n &\; teach alongside peers? GOOD!! You will fit right in at Hack2Lea rn! For the next several Hack2Learn workshops\, we will be taking a crac k at Assembly-focused CTF (Capture The Flag) and reversing challenges\, specifically microcorruption. MrDe4d will start by giving a short presen tation on a particular aspect of the theory behind ASM (last time we tal ked about ISRs in MSP430 MCUs). The goal of the presentation prior to th e challenge is to (hopefully) help everyone in attendance to gain theore tical as well as practical knowledge.Being able to gain control of syste m memory is a powerful skill\, and is a gateway to understanding memory structure\, how data is accessed and processed\, how the OS\, CPU and pr ograms interface with one another and ultimately how to pwn. Throughout the series we will cover basic syntax\, instructions\, conditions\, and more! As we dive deeper into each aspect of the challenges\, we will con tinue to reiterate what has been covered with Assembly- we expect questi ons to be frequent and recurring. It is absolutely OK to ask the same th ing more than once\; PASCAL Hack2Learn is a friendly learning environmen t!H2L has two major goals: for everyone to capture the flags\, and to le arn to reverse. This is not a workshop focused on learning a tool (thoug h we do use Cutter)\, rather it is designed to get attendees thinking lo gically\, critically &\; to get everyone accustomed to being uncomfor table and not knowing the answer.As we will be focusing on microcorrupti on CTF challenges for the next several workshops\, it is not necessary t o have Cutter or any other debugger installed. Microcorruption has its o wn web based debugger that is very easy to learn and use! Questions?

She is adept at driving business results and has h elped companies like eBay\, Intel and Amazon grow their bottom line perf ormance. --- What can theater teach us about software deliveryDavid Van der Merwe\, Senior Product Manager at Radar I've been thinking about the similarities between software development and the process of producing theater for a while. My wife runs a theater company and I'm constantly p icking her brain about the creative process and theater production as a project that actually has a deadline (opening night). My hope is to shar e some learnings about this process and how it may apply to product mana gers when we need to deliver a full solution to a customer problem by a committed date. I'm currently a Sr. Product Manager working at RADAR bui lding privacy incident response management solutions. Like many pm's\, I grew into a product management role somewhat through circumstance\, som e curiosity\, and a desire to improve customer experiences.

PASCAL Hackerspace is happy to announce a new bimonthly workshop! One of the core goals of our organ ization is to provide educational opportunities to people in the informa tion security and technical communities of Portland\, and with AlgoBytes we get to do exactly that! AlgoBytes is an informal workshop series to learn a bit more about the formal foundations of the field of computer s cience and about core data structures/algorithms frequently used for int erviews\, whether you've never explored them before or need a refresher. Each 60 minute session we will focus on a different topic\, although we may repeat them if there are requests to revisit material. Currently th ere will be 20-30 minutes of presentation\, a walk through of a problem\ , usually followed by breaking into small groups to practice. Attending sequential events is probably helpful if the material is new to you\, bu t not required. Topics announced about 2 weeks in advance Please bring y our preferred note-taking device(s) and preferred scratch paper. A lapto p with your editor &\; language of choice may be handy for trying out your solutions- especially important if you are prepping for technical interviews\, but is not at all required. The PASCAL board is excited to be hosting this event alongside a very accomplished and brilliant woman in security- Allison Marie Naaktgeboren is a Senior Software Engineer. S he has previously written (and regretted) code at Mozilla\, Amazon\, Cis co\, FactSet Research Systems\, and the Biorobotics Laboratory in Carneg ie Mellon’s Robotics Institute. Allison holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Com puter Science from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Allison is a mentor in the PDXWiT mentorship program\, supports the Women Who Code Portland Algorithms track\, and mentors high school students in robotics and programming (Go Rebel @lliance!) She is a member of PASCAL &\; t he OWASP Portland chapter.\n\nTags: meetup:event=hmtjxqyzhbdb\, meetup:g roup=pascalhackerspace\, open source\, python\, electronics\, microcontr ollers\, technology\, network security\, mobile technology\, computer pr ogramming\, open source hardware\, hackspaces\n\nImported from: http://c alagator.org/events/1250475576 URL:https://www.meetup.com/pascalhackerspace/events/260359591/ SUMMARY:PASCAL Hackerspace - AlgoBytes: Algorithms for Hackers!

It will be our first crack at embedded device security as a group. For more details- come see PASCAL next Thursday! For the second part of this hardware challenge\, we will be taking an indepth look at the device ROM and MCU. We will be using the MiniPro chip reader\, and a gain working with TTL converters. **END NOTE** Hack2Learn is a bi-monthl y CTF (capture the flag) meetup hosted at PASCAL in Portland\, OR. PASCA L is an organization of equal opportunity hackers\, and we will be intro ducing you to various types of reverse engineering and binary challenges that you might face at any level\, and at any time in the fields of inf ormation security and technology as a whole\, for fun or profit.Hacker/T ech culture and community can sometimes be a bit (or a byte ^_^) off-put ting\, especially to those trying to figure out what exactly it is\, wha t we are and what we do. During this meetup at PASCAL\, we welcome n00bs with open arms! Never competed in a CTF challenge before? Never even he ard of CTFs? Do you have a strong desire to learn &\; teach alongside peers? GOOD!! You will fit right in at Hack2Learn! For the next several Hack2Learn workshops\, we will be taking a crack at Assembly-focused CT F (Capture The Flag) and reversing challenges\, specifically microcorrup tion. MrDe4d will start by giving a short presentation on a particular a spect of the theory behind ASM (last time we talked about ISRs in MSP430 MCUs). The goal of the presentation prior to the challenge is to (hopef ully) help everyone in attendance to gain theoretical as well as practic al knowledge.Being able to gain control of system memory is a powerful s kill\, and is a gateway to understanding memory structure\, how data is accessed and processed\, how the OS\, CPU and programs interface with on e another and ultimately how to pwn. Throughout the series we will cover basic syntax\, instructions\, conditions\, and more! As we dive deeper into each aspect of the challenges\, we will continue to reiterate what has been covered with Assembly- we expect questions to be frequent and r ecurring. It is absolutely OK to ask the same thing more than once\; PAS CAL Hack2Learn is a friendly learning environment!H2L has two major goal s: for everyone to capture the flags\, and to learn to reverse. This is not a workshop focused on learning a tool (though we do use Cutter)\, ra ther it is designed to get attendees thinking logically\, critically &am p\; to get everyone accustomed to being uncomfortable and not knowing th e answer.As we will be focusing on microcorruption CTF challenges for th e next several workshops\, it is not necessary to have Cutter or any oth er debugger installed. Microcorruption has its own web based debugger th at is very easy to learn and use! Questions? Email [masked] or get on th e PASCAL Discord and interact with other PDX hackers (ask for invite).\n \nTags: meetup:event=lsrpvqyzhbmb\, meetup:group=pascalhackerspace\, ope n source\, python\, electronics\, microcontrollers\, technology\, networ k security\, mobile technology\, computer programming\, open source hard ware\, hackspaces\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/12504755 70 URL:https://www.meetup.com/pascalhackerspace/events/260879398/ SUMMARY:PASCAL Hackerspace - Hack2Learn: Hackers\, Assemble!

So\, wha t goes into making this work? This talk explores the root causes of most dysfunctions and provides the product perspective in not just identifyi ng and overcoming\, but put you on the path to thriving. \;\n \;\n ## 10:00 – 10:30 am Distributed team: Benefits and Challenges \;\nOle g Pashigorev\, CTO Promomash \;\nHow to assemble team on a small budg et\, without sacrificing speed or quality? We usually hear 2 type of ans wers: it’s impossible or go hire dev shop from India and we all know wha t to expect from it. But sometimes we do hear a story that somebody mana ged to build a great product with offshore team. How did they do it? \;\nIn this talk I will share with you what it took to create a successf ul distributed development team. We will go over benefits and challenges as well as restrictions that we had to put in order to work with people from countries that are at WAR. We will also discuss specifics in the h iring process and practices that help us create the culture we all despe rately seek and want. \;\n## 10:45 – 11:15 am Degeneracy\, Code\, and Innovation\, or: How to Fail By Succeeding \;\nAaron Longwell\, Lead Technical Advisor U.S. Department of State \;\nWhen we write softwar e\, we are “encoding” our observations about the present for use in the future. But we don’t know much about the future\, and our observations a bout the present are often incomplete and biased. Every organism on the planet faces this problem\, and Evolutionary Biology is the study of how organisms have attempted to solve it. In this talk\, we’ll explore how we can take inspiration from the natural world and apply it to software and organizational design. \;\n## 11:30 am – 12:00 pm Design Thinking and Agile for Family Life \;\nAlex Zub\, CTO Handsome \;\nMany of us use the Agile methodologies and the Design Thinking approach in desi gn and development activities at work. What if we could apply things tha t make our work so effective and efficient to family life? This talk wil l discuss the value of leveraging professional methodologies in our ever yday life. \;\n## 12:00 pm Break for Lunch \;\n## 1:30 – 3:00 pm W orkshop: Building Products that Customers (and your team) Love \;\nHe ather Samarin\, Co-Founder/Principal Product Rebels \;\nVidya Dinama ni\, Founder &\; Partner Product Rebels \;\nBuilding products that customers love is the goal of every product team. In this workshop\, we work through three core components that every leader can take back to t heir teams to sharpen product focus\, improve team collaboration\, and r aise overall engagement. This highly interactive workshop is fun\, immed iately applicable and will help you develop a better rapport and partner ship with your product leader. \;\n## 3:15 – 3:45 pm \;\nJerome Bo nhomme\, CTO American Specialty Health \;\n## 4:00 – 4:30 pm \;\n Sergey Sundukovskiy\, Co-Founder\, CTO and Chief Product Officer at Rake n\, Inc. \;\n## 4:45 – 5:15 pm Mechanical Confidence \;\nAdam Cupp y\, COO ZEAL \;\nMore often then not “confidence” is taught as a prac tice of positive self-talk\; that confidence is the result of belief and time. While this appears to be true\, it isn’t. Confidence can be devel oped\, mechanically. We can be more confident without having to solely b elieve we’re confident. \;\nConfidence\, in fact\, is the result of e ngrained habit.

This talk series will focus on sane\, sensible\, and usable defaults\, securi ty through proper configuration\, and small/medium scale distribution an d management. ******** ******** ******** ******** ******** DefSec 0x05: Ansible\, Part 1 Dive deep into the Dirac Sea...of security automation! Let's talk about Ansible (the RedHat automation/configuration management tool\, not the scifi FTL machine). To quote a different introductory co urse\, "\;Ansible is an automation and configuration management tech nology used to provision\, deploy\, and manage compute infrastructure ac ross cloud\, virtual\, and physical environments."\; This initial se ssion will focus on:- a high-level overview of what Ansible is- how it w orks- beginning to use Ansible via ad-hoc commands- reasoning + planning about tasks ->\; playbooks ->\; roles- how you might deploy it at s cale- and finally\, as time permits: hands on with playbooks! Part 2 of this talk (coming soon!) will focus on a practical application of Ansibl e\, namely deploying the Ubuntu Linux CIS benchmark against multiple vir tual machines for hardening purposes. This series is brought to you by P ASCAL Hackerspace\, and presented by Magneto (the hacker\, not the mutan t. Probably.) He does security analysis and automation for profit\, and systems thinking and other security-related things for fun. Uses obtuse prose. Talks fast and loud. Dreams of eliminating sleep.

We will be surveying several of the tools that are part of Kali\, and easy to install on any Debian derived distro. It seems many folks\, sometimes even the professionals already hip deep in the field of tech\ , are unaware of the power their packages wield! The wild hacker kidz at PASCAL are going to show you how to get started with packaged/pre-loade d tools like Burp Suite\, Binwalk\, Wireshark\, Kismet and will also pro vide you with an overview of the Metasploit and Volatility frameworks. C ome take your first step with Reverse Engineering at PASCAL using Binwal k! Excuse yourself and set up a proxy with Burp Suite! Breath deep and s niff packets with Kismet! Enjoy these puns and more\, in person with Cyl on and the rest of the misfit hackers of PDX! We will set aside time to answer questions\, and hold demonstrations of each utility discussed.

Specifically\, she will share how digitization across the global ente rprise helps deliver outcomes in service of a diverse workforce and incl usive culture. She will anchor her talk by showing two examples of Cisco 's use of technology\, namely the Multiplier Effect and our Social Justi ce Beliefs and Actions. In addition\, she’ll highlight the thought leade rship behind a few of the Inclusive Solutions that deliver on Cisco’s pr omise to drive inclusion at scale. \;\n \;\nSpeaker: Trey Boynton has spent her professional career working to create inclusive environmen ts. For nearly 20 years\, she worked in university settings driving equi ty and inclusion for students\, faculty\, and staff at the University of Michigan. \;\n \;\nShe shifted to the tech industry in 2017 when she joined Duo Security as their first head of diversity and inclusion. As the lead for overall diversity strategy\, Trey envisioned a bold road ahead for Duo and implemented company-wide programs and initiatives tha t positively grew Duo’s magical culture and team. Duo achieved a milesto ne in August 2018 when it was acquired by Cisco as a cornerstone of thei r software-as-a-service (SAAS) cloud security business. In her new Cisco role as the Global Lead for Inclusion Strategy &\; Alignment\, she m anages a team dedicated to building and delivering on inclusion promises and aspirations at scale. \;\n \;\nFor Trey\, inclusion work is d eeply personal. She describes it as head and heart work centered on crea ting space so that employees and teams are valued\, celebrated\, and abl e to define their own success. In short\, her ultimate goal is to reduce barriers to brilliance. \;\n \;\nOriginally from her beloved nort hern California\, she studied at Spelman College\, Georgetown University \, and the University of Michigan. Her most important job is helping her two teen feminist daughters continue to be awesome and giving attention to their needy dog\, Toby. In the two minutes of time\, she has left to spare\, she fancies herself an overly hopeful San Francisco 49ers fan\, a budding Lego engineer\, and an expert on all things Jane Austen. \ ;\n\n\nTags: diversity\, inclusion\, technology\, engineer\n\nImported f rom: http://calagator.org/events/1250477743 URL:https://www.meetup.com/PSU-Distinguished-Speaker-Series-at-the-Dept-o f-ETM/events/278213102/ SUMMARY:How do we foster a diverse workforce and inclusive culture in hig h-tech?

In response\, the City of Portland commi ssioned a task force to study the issue and recommend actions that city commissioners can take to address the issue and solve the problem (reduc e gun violence). After several months of meetings\, the Focused Interven tion Team / Community Oversight Group (FIT/COG) submitted a recommendati on to Mayor Ted Wheeler in favor of adopting ShotSpotter gunshot detecti on technology. \;\n \;\nWhat is ShotSpotter\, and how does it work ? Are its results accurate and is the technology effective? Has it been successful in other cities that have implemented it? What are the trade- offs\, and would the benefits outweigh the costs — in terms of both fina ncial and negative impacts to the community? \;\n \;\nJoin us for a two-part event to learn more about ShotSpotter and other gunshot detec tion systems and forms of acoustic surveillance! Decide for yourself whe ther this tool might be effective in solving Portland's gun violence pro blem. \;\n \;\nDuring the event's first half\, learn from our pane lists how ShotSpotter and other gunshot detection technologies work and how they've performed in other cities. \;\n \;\nThe second half of the meeting will be a workshop\, where you can learn more about what ha ppens with the FIT/COG recommendation. Ways you can provide input into w hether ShotSpotter should be installed in Portland. \;\n \;\nBring your questions\, and come learn how you can make your voice heard on th is issue! \;\n \;\nPlease RSVP via this Meetup page or by sending an email to ta3mevents@pdxprivacy.org. \;\n \;\n \;\nSpeaker bi os: \;\n \;\nAje Amaechi (aka Je) (she/they) is a first-generation Jamaican-American born from Immigrant parents and raised in New Jersey.

Details that must be addresse d include: What data is being used to train the language models? Who own s the source data and the outputs that are generated? How accurate are t he models? How much human oversight of the model-building process is the re? And what are the potential harms when things go wrong? \;\n \; \nThese algorithms are already being used to make decisions about people ’s lives\, like whether a person gets a job or a bank loan and how much time a person convicted of a crime might spend in jail\, but students in particular are having their lives and actions analyzed more and more ev ery day. For instance\, proctoring software tries to determine whether s tudents are cheating on exams\, other software looks for plagiarism in s tudent essays and reports\, and there’s even software that analyzes emot ions and/or physical objects — Is the student happy or angry? Are they h olding a cellphone or a gun? \;\n \;\nThis month\, leaders from En code Justice Oregon — Maansi Singh\, Sahana Srinivasan\, and Julianne Hu ang — will join us to share their experiences and their work on drafting policy recommendations for use of AI in schools. They’ll speak about th eir concerns and how they think these technologies should be used in edu cational settings. They'll also discuss the upcoming Youth Citizens Asse mbly\, which will give students an opportunity to add their voices to th e digital privacy conversation and pitch their own ideas. \;\n \;\ nCome join us\, and bring your questions and thoughts about AI in school s! \;\n \;\nPlease RSVP via the Meetup link or by sending an email to ta3mevents@pdxprivacy.org. \;\n \;\n \;\nSpeaker bios: \ ;\n \;\nEncode Justice is a global coalition of youth activists fight ing for justice and accountability in the digital age. Oregon’s chapter\ , Encode Justice Oregon\, works to educate their school\, local and stat ewide communities about algorithmic fairness while supporting legislatio n that encourages the safe and effective implementation of new technolog ies. From working with the Oregon DOJ's Consumer Privacy Task Force to e ngaging in connections with the Electronic Frontier Foundation\, Smart C ity PDX\, PDX Privacy\, and Rose Haven\, Encode Justice Oregon has estab lished a statewide presence centered around furthering the digital priva cy and equitable technology movement. \;\n \;\nMaansi Singh is a s enior at Jesuit High School in Portland\, Oregon. She is the Founder and Executive Director of the Encode Justice Oregon Chapter. Maansi has par ticipated in discussions surrounding the role of youth advocacy in AI et hics with organizations such as the United Nations\, Washington Post\, G oogle\, ACLU\, Meta and the World Economic Forum. Maansi believes that i ntellectual curiosity and the pursuit of new questions surrounding AI ar e ontological components of the ongoing discussion about human rights. T hrough Encode Justice and other efforts\, she has pursued the intersecti on between computer science\, ethics\, policy and education. \;\n 3\;\nSahana Srinivasan is a sophomore at Jesuit High School. She is the Director of Education for Encode Justice Oregon. She is especially inte rested in the intersection of AI in medicine.

His de sign philosophy is rooted in a fundamental understanding of the web. Mik e's passion for typography\, cultivated during my BFA in Graphic Design at Massachusetts College of Art and Design\, directly informed my decisi on to pursue web design professionally. He considers typography to be th e most critical foundation of any website\, given its text-centric natur e\, making typeface selection and typesetting my first order of business on any new projects. \;\n \;\nMike firmly believes that design is about solving problems\, a principle instilled by a formative mentor. T his conviction drove his path to specializing in accessible web design. While strong typographic forms are important\, they must be balanced wit h robust function and an intuitive user experience.

These skills are rarely taught\, yet they i nfluence how ideas are heard\, how teams function\, and how careers adva nce. \;\n \;\nIn this live Tech Talk\, Nikki Maginn\, Founder and CEO of Inside Out Engineering\, will explore the emotional intelligence skills engineers need to thrive in real-world environments. Nikki will b reak down how to communicate more effectively\, navigate conflict with c onfidence\, and build trust without feeling forced or overly political. She will also share how these skills play a critical role in career adva ncement\, team dynamics\, and long-term success. \;\n \;\nJoin us for this engaging live session on Friday\, February 13 at 1 PM PT | 3 PM CT | 4 PM ET and learn how emotional intelligence can strengthen your i mpact as an engineer\, teammate\, and future leader. \;\n \;\nIf y ou’ve ever felt like your ideas were getting lost in translation or that your career growth has stalled despite strong technical ability\, this talk will give you practical insights you can apply right away. \;\n& #13\;\nReserve your spot today and start building the skills that help e ngineers stand out and lead with confidence.\n\nTags: tech talk\, Career Coaching\, Career Networking\, job search\, Job Interview\, technology\ , Tech Industry\, software engineering\, Computer Engineering\, coding\, programmers\, programming\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events /1250482467 URL:https://meet.google.com/jkh-ikfa-eyw SUMMARY:Tech Talk | EQ for Engineers: The Skills that Accelerate Your Car eer with Nikki Maginn LOCATION:The Tech Academy: 310 SW 4th Ave Suite 412\, Portland OR 97204 U SA SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260123T191522Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260217T191500 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260217T174500 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260123T191522Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260123T191522Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250482426 DESCRIPTION:#### Topic \;\n \;\nOften relegated to episodic efforts such as late-stage audits and ad hoc projects\, digital accessibility i s most effective and efficient when it is the organization’s default mod e of operation. Making the shift to continuous accessibility leads to be tter outcomes across the board\, including improving the experience of d isabled users\, mitigating the risk of accessibility-related lawsuits\, improving brand reputation\, and even creating a positive return on inve stment (ROI). \;\n \;\nIn this talk we provide practical strategie s for embedding accessibility into daily routines and technical systems\ , demonstrating how to start small and scale over time. Key topics inclu de: \;\n \;\n* Establishing a repeatable accessibility routine and improving it over time. \;\n* The importance of data and metrics\, s uch as bug counts and time-to-resolution (TTR)\, to establish a baseline and measure progress. \;\n* Rallying cross-functional allies to driv e change (yes\, even without C-suite mandates). \;\n* Creating a unif ied system where human workflows and technical tools work in concert. 3\;\n \;\nA real world case study illustrates how the strategic appli cation of automated regression testing and clear bug prioritization led to a profound cultural shift where accessibility is treated like any oth er product quality concern. Attendees will leave with actionable ideas f or initiating and sustaining cultural change\, making the case for acces sibility as a core business principle. \;\n \;\n#### Agenda \;\ n \;\nThe event begins at 6 pm\; join early\, starting at 5:45 pm for networking. \;\n \;\n* 5:45–6:00pm Networking \;\n* 6:00–6:15p m Introductions and announcements \;\n* 6:15–6:45pm Presentation \ ;\n* 6:45–7:15pm Q&\;A and discussion \;\n \;\n#### About the p resenters \;\n \;\n[Devon Persing](https://dpersing.com/) is your neighbor to the north in Seattle\, WA. Before joining "\;big"\; tech as an accessibility professional around 2012\, she worked in "\ ;small"\; tech as a UI designer\, front-end web developer\, and usab ility advocate in libraries\, higher education\, and local government. S he has an MS in Information and is disabled\, chronically ill\, and neur odivergent\, and as a result her approach to digital accessibility cente rs information literacy\, organization dynamics\, and disability justice . Her current focus as a solo consultant is on helping people do accessi bility work that is more holistic\, inclusive\, cooperative\, and sustai nable. She wrote a book called The Accessibility Operations Guidebook wi th that goal in mind. \;\n \;\nPortlander by birth and by choice\, [Andrew Hedges](https://andrew.hedges.name/) is COO for Assistiv Labs\, an accessibility tooling company based in the PNW. His 28-year career a s a web developer and engineering leader has taken him to companies from Apple to Zapier. As a longtime advocate for improving the usability of websites for people with disabilities\, Andrew would love nothing more t han for accessibility to become the default so we can finally realize th e original promise of the web to democratize access to information for e veryone. \;\n \;\n#### RSVP \;\n \;\nPlease RSVP for the Zoo m link. \;\n \;\n#### Accommodation requests \;\n \;\nIf you have any accommodation requests\, don't hesitate to contact us before t he event to discuss.\n\nTags: User Research\, a11y\, accessibility\, acc essibility lawsuits\, accessible technology\, accessible web design\, di sability\, human rights\, inclusive design\, meetup:event=312613287\, me etup:group=Portland-Accessibility-and-User-Experience-Meetup\, mobile us er experience\, screen reader\, structured negotiation\, technology\, un iversal design\, usability\, user experience\, wcag\, web accessibility\ , web design\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482426 URL:https://pdxa11yux.org/events/2026/02/17/making-accessibility-the-defa ult.html SUMMARY:Portland Accessibility and User Experience Meetup (PDX A11Y UX) - Making Accessibility the Default: Continuous Accessibility Practices [v irtual] LOCATION:Online: placeholder for on-line events\, SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260129T004022Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260217T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260217T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260129T004022Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260129T004022Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250482436 DESCRIPTION:​This event is hybrid\; a Zoom link will be emailed to regist ered attendees closer to the date\, but please note that the talk itself doesn't start until 6:30! \;\n \;\nFebruary is right in the middl e of peak hiring season\, and PNSQC has a couple of speakers lined up to help you land that next role in a very competitive market. \;\n \ ;\nFirst\, Jeremy Elwood will give his talk titled The Paradox of Plenty : A Modern Hiring Story. It's a reflection on finding a job\, but told f rom the employer's perspective: exploring what actually differentiated s uccessful candidates from the rest\, why resume screening failed to surf ace the strongest candidates\, and what to look for in a successful cand idate. Along the way\, it offers concrete advice for everyone: how job s eekers can better present their experience\, approach take-home challeng es\, and prepare for interviews\; and how hiring managers can ask better questions\, design meaningful evaluations\, and reduce unnecessary pain in the process. Ultimately\, the talk aims not only to surface systemic problems in modern software engineer hiring\, but also to offer practic al guidance and cautious optimism for navigating (and surviving) the &qu ot\;paradox of plenty"\;. \;\n \;\nHeather Wilcox is excited t o follow with her talk titled Resume Tips and Tricks\, which will go fur ther in depth on how to write a resume that hiring managers will notice\ , along with other helpful hints for survival in the era of AI. 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. But\, at the same time\, y ou need your information to get past the AI screeners and into the hands of a real human. It's not an easy needle to thread\, but she's done it and so can you! \;\n \;\nSchedule (all times in PT): \;\n6-6:30 PM: Light refreshments (soft drinks\, pizza) and networking \;\n6:30 -7:30 PM: Talks/Presentation \;\n7:30-8 PM: Q&\;A and more network ing \;\n \;\nThanks to Trimble this month for lending us their spa ce for the evening!\n\nTags: Job\, career\, engineer\, networking\, publ ic speaking\, qa\, quality assurance\, software\, software quality\, sof tware testing\, tech\, technology\, test\, testing\n\nImported from: htt p://calagator.org/events/1250482436 URL:https://luma.com/9f10qhq7 SUMMARY:Get your resume seen!
