Dorkbot: June Edition – CTRL-H Hackerspace 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, Helen Leigh will share some of the musical instruments she's made over the years and share some of the technologies behind them. Helen's projects include: spider harp, purring tentacle, golden disco ball theremin, robotic midi drum machine, and an embroidered kraakdoos. (https://helenleigh.me) 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) |

PNSQC June Meetup: Tech Talk Team Up with Portland AWS User Group – ProFocus The PNSQC and Portland AWS User Group are joining forces this June at ProFocus Headquarters for an evening of technical learning with cloud, security, and quality professionals from across the region. This month, Trevor Gudeman, Senior Software Engineer at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, takes us inside how AWS can level up code quality across CI/CD workflows. With a focus on CodeBuild and CodePipeline, Trevor will show how AWS-native tools can take the manual effort out of key quality checks — think linting, unit testing, code coverage, static analysis, security scanning, and quality gates — so your team can catch issues earlier and ship with more confidence. This will be a hybrid meetup, so mingle in person or tune in online. Doors (and virtual lobby) open at 5:30pm for a half hour of pre-talk networking. Drinks provided by ProFocus. Free to attend! Schedule: 5:30pm - 6pm Networking 6pm - 7:30pm Tech Talk |

Cloud Native May Meetup: Change-driven Architecture and Serving Inference at Scale – Reperio Health Cloud Native PDX May: Change-driven Architecture and Serving Inference at Scale This May is all about scaling; scaling your infrastructure management, or scaling your LLM inference serving. Join us to find out about some open source tools to make managing large modern stacks easier. Date: Thursday, May 14 Time: 5:30–7:30 PM Location: Reperio Health, 4784 SE 17th Ave Suite 120, Portland, OR Recording: Talks are typically recorded (opt-in by speakers) A big thank you to Microsoft for sponsoring food & beverage, and to Reperio Health, our venue host. Drasi, a new take on Change Driven Architectures: Aman Singh, Microsoft Modern cloud-native systems constantly generate data changes, and applications often need to react to them. Building change-driven solutions that respond to specific changes in distributed data is challenging. This talk introduces Drasi, a CNCF Sandbox project that simplifies the design and implementation of change-driven architectures using Graph Queries and pluggable components. For example, with Drasi you can declaratively write automation to detect and respond to running containers with newly identified vulnerabilities across pods and deployments in a Kubernetes cluster. Join us for a walkthrough of real-world use cases that show how Drasi’s approach brings structure and responsiveness to complex distributed environments - without writing custom code. Dynamo: Large Scale Distributed Inference David Zeir, Director, DL System Software, Nvidia Neelay Shah, Distinguished Engineer, Nvidia This talk introduces Dynamo, NVIDIA's open-source Kubernetes-native distributed inference platform. We'll cover the problem space, walk through Dynamo's architecture — disaggregated prefill/decode, KV-cache-aware routing, and a transport layer that moves KV blocks directly between GPUs — and dig into the Kubernetes integration for scheduling, autoscaling, and graceful failure handling. We'll close with a demo of Dynamo serving a real workload. |

Cloud Native March Meetup: Microshift, Bootc, and AWS Infrastructure – Reperio Health March is all about infrastructure! We'll learn to manage edge container deployments, and then how to account for our AWS infrastructure drift. Date: Thursday, March 19 Time: 5:30–7:30 PM Location: Reperio Health, 4784 SE 17th Ave Suite 120, Portland, OR Recording: Talks are typically recorded (opt-in by speakers) A big thank you to Reperio Health, our venue host, and Red Hat, our food and beverage sponsor this month. If your company can sponsor our meetup, please contact the organizers. Running MicroShift on Fedora Bootc for Scalable, Secure, and Resilient Edge Deployments - Ram Gopinathan, Red Hat As edge computing accelerates across industries—from utilities and manufacturing to retail and smart cities—organizations are looking for lightweight, reliable, and secure platforms to deploy containerized applications at scale at the edge. Enter MicroShift, a small-footprint Kubernetes distribution, paired with Fedora Bootc, an image-based, immutable operating system built for consistency and resilience. In this session, we’ll demonstrate how running MicroShift on Fedora Bootc creates a powerful foundation for edge workloads, combining the familiarity of Kubernetes with the reliability of image-based OS updates and atomic rollbacks. Learn how this approach reduces operational complexity, improves boot-time performance, and enhances system integrity—especially for unattended or resource-constrained edge environments. Mind the Gap: Tracking AWS Infrastructure Drift Over Time - Christopher Buckley, Buckshot Technologies Modern DevOps pipelines focus heavily on deploying infrastructure-as-code, but what happens after the deploy? In many organizations, the infrastructure evolves outside of Git — through the console, ad hoc scripts, or third-party tools — leaving behind blind spots and compliance risk. In this talk, we’ll explore practical ways to track infrastructure drift and deltas across AWS environments. You’ll learn how to snapshot configurations, compare changes between points in time, and surface deltas across accounts in a format that’s accessible to engineers, auditors, and security teams alike. We'll demo an open-source tool built to show Git-style diffs for AWS infrastructure — not as a pitch, but as a case study in how visibility empowers better decisions, faster troubleshooting, and cleaner audit trails. Whether you're running one VPC or a hundred, knowing what changed is the first step to staying in control. |

Portland Linux/Unix Group General Monthly Meeting: AI, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly with Stephen Hemminger – Portland State University Fourth Avenue Building (FAB) Room FAB 86-01 Summary: AI coding assistants are everywhere now, but how well do they actually work for open source? This talk shares lessons from using AI on two Linux networking projects: DPDK and iproute2. The good: documentation, test writing, and debugging. The bad: awkward code suggestions, formatting errors, and false positives in code reviews. The ugly: trying to get AI to write new features like RSTP or FQ-CoDel — after too many failed attempts, I gave up and moved on to more useful things. A frank look at where AI helps, where it wastes your time, and what to watch out for. Bio: Stephen Hemminger is a longtime Linux kernel networking developer, maintainer of iproute2, and contributor to DPDK. Now retired, he continues contributing to open source as a volunteer. |

PDXOSGeo February Meetup – Ecotrust Building PDXOSGeo connects again this week, Wednesday February 25, 6:30p Hot Lips Pizza @ the Natural Capital Center 721 NW 9th Ave, Portland OR. Join us for some show and tell and good open geo discussion! This month we will be discussing Landslide Susceptibility Modeling With Information Theory: The Terroir of Landslides, with David Percy, aka "Percy". Percy is preparing to defend his dissertation on Spatial Reconstructability Analysis, and led us in in a lively discussion in January. This month he will share another aspect of his work on applying Reconstructability Analysis (RA) to categorical raster datasets. RA is a form of machine learning algorithm (MLA) that works exclusively with discrete data, so categorical data such as the variables in the SSURGO soils database, the geologic database (DOGAMI), and land cover (NLCD) can be used as inputs in their native format without conversion to dummy variables, as is typically done in other MLAs. For his February demo, Percy will show how these variables are used along with topographic data to model landslide susceptibility in two of the counties ranked highest by FEMA for most landslide hazards: Lincoln and Tillamook. Percy will show that there is evidence to suggest that we can map a Terroir of Landslides, using combinations of soil type, geology, elevation,and terrane group, similar to the combinations of environmental factors that are used to characterize wines, chocolate, and coffee. Results will be presented that show how these data are useful in making hazard maps. All of the extraction for analysis was done in QGIS and Python using open source GIS libraries Shapely and Rasterio. Code will be shared and discussed! Join us Wednesday for a lively discussion! |
