Think & Drink Trivia Night is back at OBI and we’re kicking off the year strong.

Join us at the Oregon Bioscience Incubator for an evening of dinner, drinks, and smart competition. Whether you roll in with friends or show up solo, you’ll be placed on a team of four or fewer to keep things fair and fun. No trivia steamrolling allowed.

Your ticket includes a hearty catered dinner and two drink tickets to fuel both your brain and your confidence.

Expect classic pub-style trivia covering a wide range of general knowledge topics. Nothing too obscure, nothing too easy, and just challenging enough to spark a little trash talk.

Doors open at 5:30 PM for networking and mingling. Trivia starts promptly at 6:00 PM and yes, there will be prizes worth bragging about.

Come for the trivia. Stay for the community. Leave with bragging rights.

So you have a new Workflow in your application. Let's say that it has 20 steps in the workflow

What happens if the instance handling the workflow goes down What happens if a remote service that is invoked in one of the Workflow steps is down This is where a durable workflow comes in. DBOS is a durable Workflow engine that provides this capability along with many other features.

Come learn about the durable workflow space and how you can add such a capability to your Java application

Speaker

Harry Pierson is a Software Engineer at DBOS and is responsible for the Java implementation of DBOS Peter Kraft is the Co-founder of DBOS

Topic for January: David Percy “Percy” has been doing research on applying Reconstructability Analysis (RA) to categorical raster datasets since 2012, and is preparing to defend his dissertation on Spatial Reconstructability Analysis soon. RA is a form of machine learning that works exclusively with discrete data, so categorical data such as the National Land Cover Database is a perfect source of data for it. These NLCD data have been analyzed in attempts to predict forest dynamics (clearcuts), and wildfire size, specifically looking at how historical vegetation affects these outcomes. Results will be presented that show how these data are useful in modeling future events. All of the extraction for analysis was done in Python using open source GIS libraries Shapely and Rasterio. Code will be shared and discussed.
