It is the third major branch of the family of p atcher programming languages known as Max (Max/FTS\, ISPW Max\, Max/MSP\ , jMax\, etc.) originally developed by Miller Puckette and company at IR CAM."\; \;\n \;\nPure Data is free [FLOSS] software - meaning there is no charge for the download and it is open source\, (free/libre) . It runs wonderfully on Mac\, Linux\, Windows - so bring any laptop. Co me with Pd-extended installed if possible - otherwise come a little earl y for installation assistance. The workshop is free as well! \;\n \;\nWe will will be doing several workshops starting from the ground up - and ranging topics as advanced as there is interest for. \;\n \; \nWorkshop One will be held May 17th. No prior Pd or programming knowled ge is required\, but expect to leave with functional knowledge of how to use Pd. The outline in progress can be found here: \;\nhttp://dorkbo tpdx.org/wiki/pd_workshop_2009_outline. \;\n \;\nBut we want to he ar from you! We'd love to get a rough idea of how many people are intere sted in attending. \;\n \;\nDo you use Pd? Do you use similar comm ercial software like Max/MSP? Are you interested in learning Pd? Why? Wh at are some of your ideas? \;\n \;\nPd is an incredibly open-ended platform so we're trying to get an idea of where the majority's (if the re is a majority) interests lie.... Physical Interfaces for music? Live DSP? Generative composition? Video? Dance? Robotic cat toys? Feedforward most welcome! \;\n \;\nBring a laptop with Pd-extended installed\ , if possible.

While I/O systems have a long history of using abstraction to shield applications from the intricacies of devices and storage systems\ , the WIOV '11 workshop's focus is on the interplay of I/O with virtuali zation and cloud technologies.

We believe that cloud computing will benefit fr om close interaction between researchers and industry practitioners\, so that the research can inform current deployments and deployment challen ges can inform new research.

Accessibility seems like a thing that we sho uld do... but it's sometimes uncomfortable to talk about and it feels li ke there aren't that many people who need it anyway... right? \;\n 3\;\nWrong. About 1 in 5 Americans reports that they have some kind of d isability - from hearing impairment\, vision impairment\, mobility issue s to mental disabilities and more. What does this mean for you and your company? It means that if you're not creating sites\, services\, and pro ducts with this group of people in mind\, you're letting go of a multi-b illion dollar market share. It also means that you're missing opportunit ies to be innovative leaders in your space. It also - finally - means th at you're about to be breaking the law. Did you know that companies like Target and Netflix have been successfully (and expensively) sued for fa ilure to create and maintain accessible sites? Well\, they have.

Building the Accessibility Roadmap is a hands-on workshop. It is not a panel\, or a lecture\, or a networking schmooze event. You w ill leave with a real plan that you can implement. If you\, your departm ent\, or company is ready to start thinking about the "\;accessibili ty question"\; - whether because it's the right thing to do or becau se it's the law - this workshop is designed to take you through our prop rietary tool and roadmap system that points the way forward.

Why do I need a sales pipeline? How do I use my sales pipeline? \;\n \;\nOne of the things I hate abo ut some of the workshops or seminars I have attended over the years is t hat I walk out with great intentions to use everything I learned but the n I do not implement the thing or things I had learned. Why? My theory i s that while in the workshops I just sat and listened\, take notes and p articipate but I did not ‘leave’ with something that fit me. Once I got home I had to make the program work for me and personalize it for me. 3\;\n \;\nWith this in mind I have designed my workshops to be hands- on\, small and intimate. We work together as a team to design what you n eed not what the masses need. So my challenge to you is to walk out of m y workshop with the framework for your ready-to-use personal sales pipel ine. \;\n \;\nSales pipelines are not just a visual representatio n of your sales prospects…it is the bible of your business. Your pipelin e should be personal and represent you and your business. At any time\, you should be able to it pull up your pipeline and speak clearly and int elligently to where you are at in your business. \;\n \;\nMy one-h our brown bag lunch workshop is designed to help you understand the impo rtance to having a pipeline\, how to manage your pipeline and design a q uickie pipeline that is fits your personality and your personal needs.&# 13\;\n \;\nPlease remember to bring your laptop and a lunch! \;\n& #13\;\nCost: FREE \;\n \;\nPlease sign up at Eventbrite website se ating is very limited...for more info on me visit\, annieweller.com\n\nT ags: sales\, pipeline\, Grow\, tech\, business\, entrepreneur\, money\, small business\, workshop\, education\n\nImported from: http://calagator .org/events/1250472104 URL:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/build-a-bad-ass-pipeline-workshop-ticket s-35465141192 SUMMARY:Build a Bad-Ass Pipeline!

Wit hout these tools\, leaders often "\;wing it\,"\; leading to a cy cle of fear\, guilt\, and avoidable mistakes that ripple through an enti re organization. \;\nWhat we will cover: \;\nThe Reality of the Ga p: We’ll examine the data showing why so many managers are left unprepar ed without the training they need to handle departures. \;\nThe Human Impact: We will explore how "\;winging it"\; impacts the mental health of the leader delivering the news and the dignity of the employe e receiving it. \;\nThe One Essential Skill: You will walk away with one concrete\, repeatable skill to handle these conversations with clari ty and composure. \;\nWhy you should be there: \;\nIf your company hasn't invested in your training\, invest in yourself. Whether you are the one having the conversation or the one on the receiving end\, unders tanding the mechanics of this process changes the experience from one of trauma to one of professional integrity. \;\nStop fearing the conver sation.
