When we speak of l ocalization\, we refer to it as the process of adapting an international ized product to a particular culture or locale. Before shipping the loca lized product to a particular market\, it is imperative to make sure it is not beset with inconsistent quality. Planning for a full round of loc alization testing will give you that peace of mind. In this pre sentation\, we will look at some examples of some major translation mist akes (some funny\, some not!). We will also take an introductory approac h to the best practices with localization testing.

Have questions about the program? Curiou s as to what an accelerator even does? Wondering if the format is right for you? Cool. Let's talk about that. All of that. Please join PIE onlin e for a question and answer session to get more information on our progr ams and the benefits for early stage startups. Questions about the diffe rences between the two programs causing you to second guess whether you should even show up? Well\, let's get that one answered first. Yes. The answer is yes.

What hasn't changed is that every business\, from startup to corporation \, needs to have images of their people\, products\, venues\, and other resources. These photos end up on websites\, social media\, in print\, at those things called conferences that we used to do\, and elsewhere. Folks are going to notice the difference between an organization that ha s solid consistent imagery versus an outfit where you can tell that thei r visual brand was an afterthought. \;\n \;\nWhat does photography and visual branding look like for a startup or other organization in 20 20 and beyond? When should you hire a pro and when should you do it you rself? If you can afford the same gear as a pro\, what else are they br inging to the table that you don't have? Should you invest in photograp hy proactively\, or react as you have a need for pictures? Let's talk about visual media and photography. \;\n \;\nJoin us for a mentor Q&\;A with Aaron Hockley of Hockley Photography and TechPhotoGuy.com. Aaron is a professional photographer with a background in the tech wor ld\; he's photographed quite a few Portland tech startups and organizati ons over the past 12 years.

We seek intros to VCs\, backchannels to clients\, ad vice from our peers and mentors. In normal times\, these bonds heavily r ely on in-person interactions — coffees\, lunches\, beers\, and 1:1's. & #13\;\n \;\nReading body language is a critical component to reinforc ement of those bonds. In our most vulnerable moments\, we want to ensure that the other party is present\, listening\, and empathizing. And beyo nd the 1:1 interactions\, in social places like our coffee shops and cow orking spaces\, we create room for serendipity — that chance encounter t hat leads to something new and unexpected\, whether it's a new business idea or a solution to an existing problem facing a member of our communi ty. \;\n \;\nDuring this pandemic\, we've been stripped of the abi lity to interact as normal. Sure\, we have all these video chat tools — but it's not a replacement of our in-person interactions\, just a digita l proxy. And while those proxies may suffice for our 1:1 meetings\, they certainly aren't helping with serendipity. \;\n \;\nSo how do we form community in a time of crisis? How do we create space for chance? A nd how can we come together to listen\, to engage\, to be present\, when many of us are already at our wits end staring at a video on a computer screen all day long? \;\n \;\nJoin us for a mentor Q&\;A with Marcelino Alvarez\, Chief Product Officer at Fresh Consulting.

The national average for how far food travels t o get from the farm to your house is 1\,500 miles. That’s wild! We’ve cu t down our average to 35 miles and have designed a system that leapfrogs the industrialized food system. Less travel = less pollution. More acce ss to food = fresher\, healthier foods! \;\n \;\nIt’s not just abo ut ditching the grocery store lines\, it’s about keeping money in the co mmunity and supporting local producers. For farmers\, we’re able to prov ide 6-7x what they’d make from a normal grocery store. It should be as e asy (if not easier) to buy from local farmers as it is to order a cab or book a stay in someone’s house\, right? \;\n \;\n90% of the small farms in America right now are at risk of extinction. If mega-industria lized farming becomes our only option for food\, we’ll have no more farm er’s markets\, no more CSAs\, no more farmers who are stewards to the la nd. Without radical new systems like MilkRun\, the only options for food will be from huge corporations pushing profit over people\, and we just don’t want to live in that kind of a world.

While some uses of facial recognition\, like unlocking your p hone\, may be convenient\, others allow your facial information to be co llected\, used\, and shared\, without your knowledge or consent. Both go vernments and companies are now using this technology\, often with littl e to no oversight or rules in place. In addition to transparency issues\ , facial recognition software programs have varying degrees of accuracy and have been shown to be less reliable when analyzing people of color\, women\, and children. \;\n \;\nBecause of these issues\, some cit ies\, including San Francisco\, Oakland\, and Somerville\, MA\, have ban ned government agencies from using facial recognition. Portland city off icials are also considering a facial recognition ban and are looking to go a step further and address use by private entities as well. \;\n&# 13\;\nThere are many details to consider when adopting technologies like facial recognition\, which can be used for surveillance. What are the c osts and benefits? Who will be the target of the surveillance? Will it m ake us safer? What are we giving up in exchange for that safety? And sho uld the technology be adopted at all? \;\n \;\nOn June 15th\, join us for a combined event\, with local privacy group PDX Privacy\, where we'll ask our knowledgeable panelists the answers to these questions. We 'll explore the risks of facial recognition technology\, the ways it aff ects various groups of people\, and how we can preserve our privacy and protect our communities. \;\n \;\nWe'll have a Q&\;A period via the chat box\, but you can also send questions in advance to panel_even t@pdxprivacy.org\, and we'll work to get them into the discussion. \; \n \;\nModerator: Chris Bushick (PDX Privacy) \;\n \;\nPanelist s: \;\n \;\n- Sarah Hamid - CAIR Oregon \;\n \;\n- Commissio ner Jo Ann Hardesty - Portland City Council \;\n \;\n- Nathan &quo t\;nash"\; Sheard - Electronic Frontier Foundation \;\n \;\n- Clare Garvie - Center on Privacy and Technology at Georgetown Law \;\ n \;\n \;\nBy attending this TA3M meeting\, you agree to follow ou r Code of Conduct: \;\nhttps://www.meetup.com/Portlands-Techno-Activi sm-3rd-Mondays/pages/22681732/Code_of_Conduct/ \;\n \;\n{short} Co de of Conduct \;\nPortland's Techno-Activism 3rd Mondays is dedicated to providing an informative and positive experience for everyone who pa rticipates in or supports our community\, regardless of gender\, gender identity and expression\, sexual orientation\, ability\, physical appear ance\, body size\, race\, ethnicity\, age\, religion\, socioeconomic sta tus\, caste\, or creed. \;\n \;\nOur events are intended to educat e and share information related to technology and activism\, and anyone who is there for this purpose is welcome.

Rooted in the theory of complex systems\, th is book establishes the systemic properties of entrepreneurial ecosystem s and explains why their complex nature leads people to make predictable mistakes. As complex systems\, value creation occurs in startup communi ties primarily through the interaction of the parts—the people\, organiz ations\, resources\, and conditions involved—not the parts themselves. T his continual process of bottom-up interactions unfolds naturally\, prod ucing value in novel and unexpected ways.

Which of these technologies are cur rently being used in Portland\, and what are the policies for their use? How do we know if usage or policies change? \;\n \;\nThere are ma ny factors to consider when adopting surveillance technologies like thes e: What are the costs and benefits? When\, and in what manner\, will a c apability be used? Who will be the target of surveillance? Will it make us safer? What are we giving up in exchange for that safety? And should a particular technology be adopted at all? \;\n \;\nIn order to an swer these questions\, some cities—like Cambridge\, New Orleans\, San Fr ancisco\, Oakland\, and Seattle—have passed ordinances that regulate the acquisition and use of surveillance technologies. These ordinances ofte n require the approval of a city council or other legislative body befor e a city agency can acquire a particular technology or change the way in which a current technology is used. \;\n \;\nShould Portland pass this type of ordinance\, and if so\, how might the law work? \;\n 3\;\nOn March 15th\, join us for a combined event\, with local privacy g roup PDX Privacy\, where we'll ask our insightful panelists the answers to these questions. During the conversation\, we'll explore the chilling effects of surveillance\, the history of surveillance ordinances\, what to look for in a strong ordinance\, and how to build coalitions and eng age lawmakers. \;\n \;\nWe'll have a Q&\;A period via the chat box\, but you can also send questions in advance to panel_event AT pdxpr ivacy.org\, and we'll work to get them into the discussion. \;\n \ ;\n \;\nPanelists: \;\n- Renard Bridgewater - Eye on Surveillance& #13\;\n- Kade Crockford - ACLU Massachusetts \;\n- Tracy Rosenberg - Media Alliance\, Oakland Privacy \;\n- Nathan "\;nash"\; Shea rd - Electronic Frontier Foundation \;\n \;\nModerator: Chris Bush ick - PDX Privacy \;\n \;\nFor the meeting link and password\, ple ase RSVP via Meetup or send an email to: \;\npanel_event AT pdxprivac y.org \;\n \;\n \;\nBy attending this meeting\, you agree to fo llow our Code of Conduct: \;\n \;\n{short} Code of Conduct \;\n Portland's Techno-Activism 3rd Mondays is dedicated to providing an info rmative and positive experience for everyone who participates in or supp orts our community\, regardless of gender\, gender identity and expressi on\, sexual orientation\, ability\, physical appearance\, body size\, ra ce\, ethnicity\, age\, religion\, socioeconomic status\, caste\, or cree d. \;\n \;\nOur events are intended to educate and share informati on related to technology and activism\, and anyone who is there for this purpose is welcome.

What types of privacy issues does it address? Who does it advise? How does it work? Sh ould Portland have one? \;\n \;\nThese are some of the questions w e'll explore this month as the City of Portland looks to rethink surveil lance. \;\n \;\nBrian Hofer\, Executive Director of Secure Justice and Chair of the Oakland Privacy Advisory Commission\, will join us to talk about his work on Oakland's commission and how that agency came int o being. He'll also talk about how such an advisory body might work here in Portland. \;\n \;\nThis is a great opportunity to learn about potential privacy-related happenings in Portland and how you can get inv olved. Bring your questions and join the discussion. We hope to see you there! \;\n \;\n \;\nSpeaker bio: \;\n \;\nBrian Hofer is Executive Director of Secure Justice and Chair of the Oakland Privacy A dvisory Commission. He was instrumental in the formation of an ad-hoc ci tizen committee to start drafting privacy policies for the City of Oakla nd and successfully fought for a permanent committee tasked with oversig ht of surveillance equipment. That committee is now the Oakland Privacy Advisory Commission. \;\n \;\nBrian also successfully introduced o rdinances throughout the greater Bay Area at both the county and city le vel to implement significant surveillance equipment reforms\, advised on and advocated for state legislation impacting the right to privacy and surveillance oversight\, and coordinated with and advised groups around the country on how to implement reforms through legislation and policy w riting. He is presently consulting with various cities across the countr y regarding citizen oversight and participation pertaining to surveillan ce equipment and data sharing\, Smart City regulations\, and various “sa nctuary” supporting legislative projects. \;\n \;\n \;\nBy atte nding this TA3M meeting\, you agree to follow our Code of Conduct: \; \nhttps://www.meetup.com/Portlands-Techno-Activism-3rd-Mondays/pages/226 81732/Code_of_Conduct/ \;\n \;\n{short} Code of Conduct \;\nPor tland's Techno-Activism 3rd Mondays is dedicated to providing an informa tive and positive experience for everyone who participates in or support s our community\, regardless of gender\, gender identity and expression\ , sexual orientation\, ability\, physical appearance\, body size\, race\ , ethnicity\, age\, religion\, socioeconomic status\, caste\, or creed.& #13\;\n \;\nOur events are intended to educate and share information related to technology and activism\, and anyone who is there for this pu rpose is welcome.

Over time\, you find th at your applications have a large number of dependencies on third-party technologies and libraries that have different release cadences. Invaria bly\, your organization encounters pressures to upgrade those dependenci es for any number of the following reasons: critical bug fixes\, securit y updates\, expiring support\, "\;modernization"\;\, or technica l enablement. Refactoring a single application to update its third-party dependencies can be a tricky and manual process. At the organization le vel\, performing the same refactoring operation across all of your appli cations can result in weeks of effort. \;\n \;\nThis talk introduc es OpenRewrite\, an open-source ecosystem that specializes in mass\, aut omated refactoring with a focus on Java source code\, Maven build files\ , XML\, YAML\, and property files. We will discuss how the framework ena bles the creation of composable\, prepackaged recipes that can be used t o automate common framework migration and how these recipes can be integ rated into both Maven and Gradle builds. \;\nThis talk will include s ome live demonstrations of Rewrite's tools to perform automated migratio ns on real-world\, Spring applications and libraries. \;\n \;\nBio : \;\n \;\nTyler Van Gorder is a principal software engineer at Mo derne Inc where he focuses on frameworks and tools for automated refacto ring.

PSAS is a rocket club at \;\nPortland State University. The OreSa t program works towards having \;\nsmall interactive satellites put i nto orbit by friendly launch \;\nservices. OreSat currently consists of three small satellites based on \;\na common design\, the first on e is due to launch in January. Russell's \;\nrole is to help out with a system called dxwifi\, a long distance \;\nS-band communication li nk. The goal is for ground-based student groups \;\naround the state to receive live video broadcast from orbit as the \;\nsatellite passe s overhead. Earlier this year\, a high school student \;\napplied and got our satellite a ride on a high altitude balloon \;\nthrough a NA SA program.

Whil e enactment of these facial recognition bans is an important local victo ry in the fight to protect our biometric privacy\, what about use of fac ial recognition by the federal government? \;\n \;\nFederal agenci es are exempt from local laws\, and although a number of national privac y bills are currently under consideration in Congress\, some of those bi lls would preempt state and local privacy laws like ours. To review the current federal proposals\, take a look at the great bill tracker by the International Association of Privacy Professionals located here: \;\ nhttps://iapp.org/resources/article/us-federal-privacy-legislation-track er/ \;\n \;\nWondering which of these bills has the best chance of becoming law? Curious what the likelihood is of any privacy bill at all being adopted and implemented at the federal level? Well\, you're in lu ck! \;\n \;\nAdam Schwartz\, Senior Staff Attorney at the Electron ic Frontier Foundation\, has been working on privacy issues\, including face surveillance\, for over two decades and has agreed to talk with us about the state of the proposed federal bills. Since he'll be joining us and sharing his privacy-related insights\, we've also asked him to talk about the Clearview AI lawsuit and how its outcome might affect the pub lic and private use of facial recognition throughout the country. \;\ n \;\nBring your questions and join the conversation! \;\n \;\n \;\nRelated article: \;\nhttps://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/08/vi ctory-lawsuit-proceeds-against-clearviews-face-surveillance \;\n \ ;\n \;\nSpeaker bio: \;\n \;\nAdam Schwartz joined EFF as a Sen ior Staff Attorney in 2015. He advocates before courts and legislatures against surveillance and censorship. He has represented travelers subjec ted to warrantless smartphone searches by border officers\, dissidents s eeking to speak in government social media\, and customers of phone comp anies that unlawfully sold location data. He has filed amicus briefs add ressing the right to record on-duty police\, perpetual location-tracking of court-involved people\, face surveillance by corporations of consume rs\, and overbroad laws against so-called "\;cyber stalking."\; Through FOIA enforcement litigation\, he helped expose new information a bout AT&\;T's "\;Hemisphere"\; phone snooping program. He has worked to pass bills to protect consumer data privacy\, and to stop hig h-tech surveillance of immigrants. \;\n \;\nPreviously\, Adam work ed at the ACLU of Illinois for 19 years\, and clerked for Judge Betty B.

This policy will create the transparency and accountabil ity processes for use and purchase of surveillance technologies. It will also define roles and responsibilities for decision making\, oversight\ , and implementing aspects of this policy. \;\n \;\nThe Smart City PDX program and the Office of Equity and Human Rights are coordinating policy development actions\, including policy drafting\, City of Portlan d agencies coordination\, and public engagement. \;\n \;\nThese po licies need to be informed by those most impacted. Negative impacts of s urveillance technologies are disproportionately experienced by Black\, I ndigenous\, and People of Color communities. Abuses derived from surveil lance technologies can endanger people’s freedoms\, civil rights\, and l iberties. \;\n \;\nExisting Portland policies define surveillance technologies as any software\, electronic device\, system utilizing an e lectronic device\, or similar used\, designed\, or primarily intended to collect\, retain\, analyze\, process\, or share audio\, electronic\, vi sual\, location\, thermal\, olfactory\, biometric\, or similar informati on specifically associated with\, or capable of being associated with\, any individual or group. \;\n \;\nThis definition covers certain s urveillance technologies\; however\, emergent technologies\, including a rtificial intelligence and predictive inference algorithms\, are not nec essarily covered by this definition. The City is exploring an updated de finition of surveillance technologies that includes these new and emerge nt information technologies. \;\n \;\nRead more about the policy r oadmap and engagement plan here: \;\nhttps://www.smartcitypdx.com/new s/2021/8/11/the-city-of-portland-starts-the-work-developing-its-surveill ance-policy \;\n\n\nTags: pdx\, surveillance\, Smart City PDX\, ta3m\ , Cascadia Partners\, Office of Equity and Human Rights\, PDX Privacy\n\ nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250478013 URL:https://www.meetup.com/Portlands-Techno-Activism-3rd-Mondays/events/2 82416108/ SUMMARY:Surveillance technologies policy development codesign event LOCATION:Online: placeholder for on-line events\, SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20211023T192652Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20211217T091500 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20211217T080000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20211023T192652Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20211023T192652Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250477975 DESCRIPTION:We're a welcoming community of folx who gather to talk about software development + operations (Dev + Ops) tools and culture in downt own Portland.

The project is hosted by the non-profit Portland Tr ansport and currently operates more than 60 screens around the region.

Proponen ts argue that cellphone voting could increase voter turnout\, and voting from the comfort of your mobile phone sounds easy\, right? But is it re ally a good idea? \;\n \;\nBefore giving this technology a stamp o f approval\, we need to consider some of the issues around the process o f electronic voting.

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 ?

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.

Typically\, the only gr oups involved in negotiations are the US Trade Representative\, corporat e lobbyists\, trade advisors\, and representatives from the various coun tries involved in the deal. \;\n \;\nWell\, there's a new trade de al currently in work\, and here's an early opportunity to learn about it and how it might affect you! \;\n \;\nThe deal is called the Indo -Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF)\, and one of it's pillars addresses c ross-border data flows and the digital economy. Since several of the cou ntries that will be a party to this agreement do not have strong human r ights protections\, advocates at the Trade Justice Education Fund (TJEF) are concerned that lower standards set at the international level will have a negative impact on US laws. \;\n \;\nJoin us this month whe n Yimei Shao\, PNW Regional Organizer for TJEF\, will talk about the IPE F international trade deal and how it could impact consumer data privacy \, workplace surveillance\, and other issues that intersect with labor a nd technology. \;\n \;\nYou can read more about deal in the US Tr ade Rep's fact sheet: \;\nhttps://ustr.gov/about-us/policy-offices/pr ess-office/press-releases/2022/may/fact-sheet-asia-president-biden-and-d ozen-indo-pacific-partners-launch-indo-pacific-economic \;\n \;\nC ome learn about this trade deal and how you can make your voice heard!&# 13\;\n \;\nPlease RSVP via this Meetup page or by sending an email to ta3mevents@pdxprivacy.org. \;\n \;\n \;\nSpeaker bio: \;\n& #13\;\nYimei Shao (they/them) is the PNW Regional Organizer for the Trad e Justice Education Fund (TJEF)\, and also serves as the Chair of the Gl obal Justice Committee at Portland Jobs with Justice (PDX JWJ).

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.

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.
