Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session: drink your beverage of choice, bring your laptop, and hang out with your peers! Have engaging conversations, or focus on work or projects. This is a great opportunity to learn from others, share your knowledge, and possibly collaborate on side projects, online courses, or even your day-to-day work.

---- Schedule ----

You're welcome to drop in anytime during the event. We understand that everyone may have external commitments and challenges - join us when you can!

We have informal unscheduled introductions - practice your personal elevator pitch, or take things slower to build your confidence.

---- Venue ----

Fly Chai allow us to informally and freely use their space. If within your budget, we'd appreciate your help to sustain our use of the venue, by purchasing something tasty, whether Chai or otherwise.

Find us at tables with a Code&Coffee sign - or a clump of laptop-users!

Wifi and power outlets are available. Our meeting area should be accessible - please let us know if not.

---- What to expect ----

Smaller events than you may be used to, with a mixed crowd week-to-week. We expect this is likely due to us meeting weekly, at a less central location.

These may result in what you're looking for:

A smaller, less intimidating, lower pressure, cozy atmosphere.
A mix of regular and new faces.
A simpler schedule - every week, same time, same place - that you can drop into when you like.
Being closer to you than other events.

Whether those are generally or partly to your liking, we hope you'll consider dropping by sometime!

---- Getting to the venue ----

Look for the venue on the meetup Google map, or alternatives like OpenStreetMap.

​Better Futures Club is a weekly event (alternating Tuesdays and Thursdays) focused on imagining and making better futures.

Imagine an artist community, a think tank, and a research center in the same building. People in all of those fields working alongside each other imagining and creating different futures together. Cross pollination and inspiration. Liberal Arts and STEM and R&D. Photographers, physicists, authors, astronomers, musicians, makers, mathematicians, designers, developers, fashionistas, climatologists and all manner of imaginative optimists.

All Better Futures Club events are covered by the Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct (https://www.contributor-covenant.org)

People doing strange things with electricity (and code)!

DorkbotPDX is a laid-back meetup and show-and-tell for those who make, modify and use technical tools to weird and imaginative ends. You might run into creative coders, electronic artists, circuit designers, retro computing archaeologists, video game devs, modular synth gearheads and cyberpunk DIYers.

No featured speaker this month, but bring your electronic wonders, monsters, and works-in-progress to show off, or come see what others have been working on! Code or circuits, electronic creativity of all sorts is welcome here.

Table space with power will be available for project show-and-tell; we have a table for drinks and snacks, feel free to contribute to the communal cache/BYOB. We do this every month, usually on the second Monday night (check the site for upcoming dates to be sure)

Note: If you bring things to give away, please pack out anything that doesn't get claimed! We don't have the space to store unclaimed items.

You can subscribe to our calendar and mailing list, join the Discord and find our social links on https://www.dorkbotpdx.org (It also has our Code of Conduct, which we'd like you to check out while you're there)

​Better Futures Club is a weekly event (alternating Tuesdays and Thursdays) focused on imagining and making better futures.

Imagine an artist community, a think tank, and a research center in the same building. People in all of those fields working alongside each other imagining and creating different futures together. Cross pollination and inspiration. Liberal Arts and STEM and R&D. Photographers, physicists, authors, astronomers, musicians, makers, mathematicians, designers, developers, fashionistas, climatologists and all manner of imaginative optimists.

All Better Futures Club events are covered by the Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct (https://www.contributor-covenant.org)

Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session: drink your beverage of choice, bring your laptop, and hang out with your peers! Have engaging conversations, or focus on work or projects. This is a great opportunity to learn from others, share your knowledge, and possibly collaborate on side projects, online courses, or even your day-to-day work.

---- Schedule ----

You're welcome to drop in anytime during the event. We understand that everyone may have external commitments and challenges - join us when you can!

We have informal unscheduled introductions - practice your personal elevator pitch, or take things slower to build your confidence.

---- Venue ----

Fly Chai allow us to informally and freely use their space. If within your budget, we'd appreciate your help to sustain our use of the venue, by purchasing something tasty, whether Chai or otherwise.

Find us at tables with a Code&Coffee sign - or a clump of laptop-users!

Wifi and power outlets are available. Our meeting area should be accessible - please let us know if not.

---- What to expect ----

Smaller events than you may be used to, with a mixed crowd week-to-week. We expect this is likely due to us meeting weekly, at a less central location.

These may result in what you're looking for:

A smaller, less intimidating, lower pressure, cozy atmosphere.
A mix of regular and new faces.
A simpler schedule - every week, same time, same place - that you can drop into when you like.
Being closer to you than other events.

Whether those are generally or partly to your liking, we hope you'll consider dropping by sometime!

---- Getting to the venue ----

Look for the venue on the meetup Google map, or alternatives like OpenStreetMap.

Event Agenda: There will be a main talk between 30 minutes to 1 hour followed by optional lighting talks.

Scalable processing with Ray: unstructured data, multimodal data, and integration with your custom code by Adam Breindel

In this talk, we'll look at building applications and data pipelines that operate on unstructured or multimodal data using the open-source Ray framework. Ray provides abstractions for running distributed, scalable, stateful code as well as higher-level constructs for orchestrating data pipelines where you can supply your own business logic.

Some logic might involve using or training AI models -- but this talk is not focused on (or written by) AI. We'll look at general issues that arise when scaling interesting logic and talk a bit about the algorithms that the Ray Core and Ray Data schedulers employ to address common challenges.

Last, since I've met so many awesome folks in the local Python communities who are looking for jobs, we'll also talk a bit about the tech stacks and other dynamics driving employment and the role of Portland's economy in the evolving landscape.

Lightning Talks: Lightning talks are talks up to 5 minutes in length on any topic that might interest other Python people. See PyCon’s Lightning Talks description for more details.

Cloud Native PDX July: An API for Linux and Learning OTTL

This July is all about infrastructure: Your systems infrastructure and your monitoring infrastructure.

Date: Thursday, July 16, 2026

Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Location: ProFocus Technology, 10200 SW Eastridge St #100, Portland, OR 97225

Recording: Talks are typically recorded (opt-in by speakers)

A big thank you to New Relic for sponsoring food & beverage, and to ProFocus, our venue host.

First Presentation: An API for Linux (Speaker: Justin Garrison, Sidero Labs)

We treat infrastructure and application as code thanks to cloud providers and Kubernetes, but we're still SSHing to Linux machines and running shell scripts. What if Linux had an API? How would it change how we manage servers? What would it do, and how would we secure it? Talos Linux has been building an API for Linux to create a new way to manage your operating system. Let's see why an API is better than SSH and what parts don't

Second Presentation: Devs, Transform (Your Data) and Roll Out!: Learning and Leveraging OTTL (Speaker: Reese Lee, New Relic)

The OpenTelemetry Collector is OTel's power tool for ingesting and processing your app and infrastructure data, but there's even more you can do with your data before it reaches your backend! Learn how to start leveraging OTTL, or OpenTelemetry Transformation Language, to manage your data volume and quality. We'll explore the syntax basics and its underlying architecture within the Collector, where its strength really comes into play, when to use it (or not!), and more.

People doing strange things with electricity (and code)! DorkbotPDX is a laid-back meetup and show-and-tell for those who make, modify and use technical tools to weird and imaginative ends. You might run into creative coders, electronic artists, circuit designers, retro computing archaeologists, video game devs, modular synth gearheads and cyberpunk DIYers.

Most of Dorkbot is a freewheeling hangout, but each month we feature a short talk about a cool project or teaching some esoteric wizardry.

This month, Chris Holmes will be showing us the ins and outs of safely powering your projects with Li-Ion batteries safely and effectively. Learn about protection circuits, gas gauging, failure modes, battery management, serial/parallel configurations and more!

Bring your electronic wonders, monsters, and works-in-progress to show off, or come see what others have been working on! Code or circuits, electronic creativity of all sorts is welcome here. Table space with power will be available for project show-and-tell; we have a table for drinks and snacks, feel free to contribute to the communal cache/BYOB. We do this every month, usually on the second Monday night (check the site for upcoming dates to be sure)

Note: We may be famous for the free parts cart…but the pile has gotten unruly, so we’re not accepting new stuff. If you have things to give away, check the Discord offer/ask channel to see if anyone would like to claim them. Feel free to exchange items at Dorkbot, just no leftovers please!

You can subscribe to our calendar and mailing list, join the Discord and find our social links on

https://www.dorkbotpdx.org

(It also has our Code of Conduct, which we'd like you to check out while you're there)

Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session: drink your beverage of choice, bring your laptop, and hang out with your peers! Have engaging conversations, or focus on work or projects. This is a great opportunity to learn from others, share your knowledge, and possibly collaborate on side projects, online courses, or even your day-to-day work.

## Schedule

Ideally arrive by 9:15, to minimize later duplication of initial introductions, and enable you to make the most of your time at the event.

Please do not hesitate to drop by later if you have other commitments, difficulties finding us, traveling, etc!

## Venue details (UPDATED)

We have moved to Fly Chai, just down the road from our previous venue (Deadstock Coffee, now closed); both have graciously allowed us to informally use their space freely.

We expect to meet downstairs since it is accessible, but may be upstairs depending upon availability or numbers - look for a small Code&Coffee sign on a table, or the clump of laptop-users!

WiFi and power outlets are available.

If within your budget, please support this free event by purchasing items from the venue. Various drinks and food are available, not only Chai or Coffee!

## Getting here

Driving:

• There is limited parking on a lot outside the venue (4+1 accessible); more in the surrounding area

Transit:

• Take Red or Blue MAX to Beaverton Central, then walk~ 8 minutes

• Take Red or Blue MAX to Beaverton Transit Center, then walk ~11 minutes

• Various bus lines stop nearby (52, 76, 57), and many others go to Beaverton Transit Center
