DESCRIPTION:Join us Thursday\, September 16\, for food\, networking and a
  look at building and deploying Flex applications with Maven. We invite 
 experienced Flex application developers to bring their resumes and meet 
 Thetus Flex developers.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nBuilding and deploying complex Fl
 ex applications is a challenge. How&#13\;\ndo you ensure repeatable buil
 ds that are correct on multiple platforms&#13\;\nand in multiple IDEs?  
 Maven is one tool that has been long used in&#13\;\nthe Java community t
 o provide application lifecycle (build\, test\,&#13\;\ndeploy) functiona
 lity that is standard across projects. By utilizing&#13\;\na common file
 system layout and a predefined set of goals or targets&#13\;\n(the Proje
 ct Object Model\, POM)\, you can easily move between&#13\;\nprojects wit
 hout having to learn the intricacies of each project's&#13\;\nbuild and 
 deployment setup. Modern IDEs such as Eclipse and IDEA have&#13\;\nsuppo
 rt for loading Maven POM files and configuring projects&#13\;\nautomatic
 ally. Recent additions to Maven (flex-mojos) allow this same&#13\;\npowe
 r to be applied to Flex as well. I'll show practical examples of&#13\;\n
 how Maven works in a mixed Java/Flex project that deploys to the&#13\;\n
 Amazon cloud.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nChristopher Mason is a Flex developer at Th
 etus corporation.  A&#13\;\nrefugee from bioinformatics\, Christopher ha
 s focused for more than 10 years&#13\;\non building applications that ar
 en't afraid of large information sets&#13\;\nand that scale both from a 
 technology and a user-understanding&#13\;\nperspective.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nM
 eeting starts at 6 PM. Food and networking at 5:30 PM sponsored by Thetu
 s Corporation in association with the PDXRIA User Group.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n

DESCRIPTION:Writing Testable code. You all know by now that you should be
  unit testing your code\, but do you know how? It is unfortunately reall
 y easy in flex to architect code which is very difficult to test. In thi
 s session\, we will explore how to build components and applications in 
 flex which are inherently testable\, and see how we test them.&#13\;\n&#
 13\;\nJoin us Thursday\, October 14\, for food and networking at 5:30 PM
  sponsored by Thetus Corporation in association with the PDXRIA User Gro
 up. Our speaker\, Michael Labriola starts at 6 PM. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nMicha
 el Labriola is a Senior Consultant at Digital Primates and the Lead Deve
 loper for FlexUnit 4. He has been developing Internet applications since
  1995 and working with Flex since its 1.0 beta. Michael is an Adobe Cert
 ified Instructor\, Community Professional\, and co-author of the Flex 2\
 , 3 and 4 Training from the Source books and Breaking out of the Browser
  with Adobe AIR.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nAs an international speaker and team men
 tor on Flex and AIR projects\, he has consulted for many of the world’s 
 most recognized brands. His free time is spent escaping from technology 
 through wine and food.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nRSVP: http://upcoming.yahoo.com/ev

DESCRIPTION:Interactive is not a goal - it is a way of thinking and appro
 aching problems. Though we have orders of magnitude more power at our fi
 ngertips\, real interactivity is still illusive - but it need not be.&#1
 3\;\n&#13\;\nInteractive applications have been a multi-decade goal. Fle
 x is yet another in a long history of frameworks for delivering interact
 ive applications\, but technology alone does not an interactive applicat
 ion make. You need to understand the problems\, existing solutions and t
 echniques for solving the problem\, and the user of the application. Fas
 t is never enough\, because the complexity will grow until the app is no
 t fast enough and pain limits what the user can do\, underscoring the pe
 rception of your app - what the pain prevents me from doing vs. what the
  lack of pain enables me to do. Scaling is the name of the game - let's 
 talk about bigger problems than you can imagine.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nSpeakers
 &#13\;\n&#13\;\nRoy Hall has been writing interactive graphic applicatio
 ns for more than 30 years. Trained in civil engineering and architecture
 \, he started writing 3D interactive apps for stadium roof design on E&a
 mp\;S PSII's in the late 70's. He later wrote the rendering pipeline for
  Robert Abel and Associates (Tron - sucking Flynn into the computer and 
 throwing him back out)\; was the system architect for Wavefront Technolo
 gies (Science and Technology Academy Award for that) - and which through
  many morphs is now the Maya animation software\; was an Assistant Profe
 ssor at Cornell's Program of Computer Graphics\; wrote the 'Joey 3D tool
 kit' extensions for Microsoft MFC in the 90's\; worked on the interactio
 n model for Sketchup\; and is now the CTO for Thetus Corporation.\n\nTag

 3\;\nMobile phone texting (txting) is now ubiquitous - a comfortable UI 
 to everybody that has a cell phone. With most age groups\, the time spen
 t texting far exceeds time making voice calls. Logically\, Java develope
 rs should be considering txt interfaces to their applications. &#13\;\n&
 #13\;\nWe will look at adding mobile txt interfaces to three application
 s: &#13\;\n- A mobile web healthcare application with group push txt not
 ification to other caregivers of an event&#13\;\n- An iPad POS web appli
 cation for ordering from your car via txt from your mobile phone&#13\;\n
 - An installed Swing application to display group txting for public disp

DESCRIPTION:Imagine a world in which data becomes a personal asset that w
 orks on behalf of our personal interests and communities. Everyday\, app
 s like yours could control how to send their data out into the world to 
 circulate and bring back value to users. Certainly this would require a 
 change in the way the world views data today\, and in the infrastructure
  that enables it to flow freely while protected. This event is a first s
 tep in building that infrastructure for the benefit of all.&#13\;\n&#13\
 ;\nConsider the prospect of Facebook\, Google\, Amazon\, LinkedIn and ot
 her data silos bidding against each other for what data you might provid
 e. What kinds of data might be the most interesting? How could that valu
 e be enhanced? How could you collect it with minimal effort?  How would 
 your privacy be protected? What could you get in return?&#13\;\n&#13\;\n
 At this event you’ll pick a particular type of personal data and build a
 n app to show how its value as a personal asset can be enhanced. The app
  can be mobile\, desktop\, web or something else. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nAbout 
 Vibrant Data&#13\;\n&#13\;\nInspired by the Arab Spring popular uprising
 s’ use of Facebook and Twitter\, The Vibrant Data Project is trying to u
 nderstand the development landscape that is giving rise to the Gutenburg
  press of our era: disruptive communication and commerce vehicles that h
 ave the potential to overthrow corrupt regimes\, spread new ideas\, broa
 den economic opportunity\, improve health and well being and aid in the 
 fight for social justice and human rights.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n\n\nTags: bigd

DESCRIPTION:This month we’re discussing the “Value of Bad Ideas.” When we
  create\, we try to do the best work we can. There's not room for failur
 e\, but within the messy grey area of the creative process\, there's ple
 nty of room for bad ideas. In fact\, bad ideas can often lead to the bes
 t solutions. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nOur speaker\, Ben Cerezo\, helps make thing

 ilding clean\, sane\, maintainable client-side applications is indeed po
 ssible. We'll talk a bit about CommonJS on the client\, properly abstrac
 ting a model layer\, the DOM as a dumb view layer\, sharing code between
  client/ server and other techniques for avoiding insanity like automate
 d static code analysis. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nHenrik is a partner and lead JS

 a private international a collection of 26\,000 textiles and original ar
 twork. In 2009\, the studio began the process of digitizing and catalogi
 ng the entire archive to provide greater access and utility for the coll
 ection.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n Currently we are developing a unique web applica
 tion to showcase the archive. The application allows users to navigate t
 he archive's rich visual content based on a variety of criteria includin
 g subject\, style\, era\, color\, origin\, technique and material among 
 many others. It uses node.js\, CouchDB\, Solr\, and jQuery as its main t
 echnologies.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n Combining the extraordinary physical design
  archive with its innovative digital counterpart we strive to inspire th
 e next generation of designers.&#13\;\n &#13\;\nRoger Gilliam\, New Reli
 c&#13\;\nRoger Gilliam is a designer/developer at New Relic with a backg

DESCRIPTION:Welcome to World Information Architecture Day 2013! Please re
 gister for this event on Eventbrite.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nCome learn about wha
 t Information Architecture means and about some of the challenges facing
  Portland's leading practitioners.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nIdeal for: Anyone inte
 rested in technology\, creative tech\, business of tech\, industry pros\
 , students and everyone in between. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nThanks to our sponso
 rs: AIGA\, IxDA\, PDX Web and Design Meetup\, Northwest Creatives Social
  Club\, People's Sandwich of Portland and Floyd's Coffee&#13\;\n&#13\;\n
 Our speaker lineup is amazing!&#13\;\n&#13\;\n10am: Jeanne Turner-Walmar
 t Labs &#13\;\nCultivating Good Will in the Digital World&#13\;\nWhen we
  have to wait 20 minutes for service after being seated at a restaurant\
 , or when a grocery store is disorganized and the clerk is distracted an
 d unhelpful\, then we know that something is wrong with the situation. I
 n the physical world\, lack of information and poor interactions are obv
 ious. In the physical world\, we know how to make improvements that incr
 ease customer satisfaction. How can we translate this understanding to t
 he digital world? What do we need to understand about human nature  to i
 mprove digital experiences? In this talk\, Jeanne Turner will discuss co
 ncepts and techniques that allow us to cultivate good will in the digita
 l world.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n11am: Patricia Colley-Interactionflow&#13\;\nCiv
 ilizing Information Architecture: A meditation on systems design&#13\;\n
 What is the scope of information architecture practice? To design optima
 l architectural structures\, we know we must empathize with its inhabita
 nts\, and apply deep expertise in organization\, language and flow. But 
 we've learned\, this alone will not ensure a design's success. As we div
 e deeply into the churning sea of design and technology trends\, tools a
 nd methods\, we often forget how we orient to design practice\, and its 
 increasingly complex problems\, as thoughtful human beings. Will our app
 s\, widgets and gadgets come to serve us\, or will we lose ourselves in 
 a wilderness of unmitigated digital distractions and breakdowns? To civi
 lize our digital future\, we are compelled to take a systems view of des
 ign practice. We are compelled to shift our perspectives and spark grand
 er dialogues.This session will examine the origins and evolution of the 
 IA role\, the current and emerging climate in which our products reside\
 , and put forth a few principles and methods to help answer the call to 
 broaden our vision and expand our influence in a changing world. &#13\;\
 n&#13\;\n12p: Huston Hedinger-Wikisway&#13\;\nNetworks as a User Interfa
 ce&#13\;\nThe mathematics of graph theory and its many applications via 
 network science in sociology\, bioinformatics\, intelligence\, and even 
 physics\, represent a paradigm shift in how we study and consider inform
 ation. Over the last 30 years\, machines have allowed us to structure da
 ta in such a way that allow us to analyze the complex interactions betwe
 en the individual actors in networks. These interactions turn out to rev
 eal patterns that are both predictable and obedient to mathematical laws
 - many in the academic community are just beginning to grasp the power a
 n the importance of these claims. The ability to visualize networks allo
 wing the researcher/user/customer to quickly understand the structure an
 d behavior of a network is the main focus of this talk.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n1
 p: Matthew Baranauskas and Noah DiJulio-Ziba&#13\;\nMeeting the Challeng
 es of Innovating on Top of Existing Platforms&#13\;\nInformation archite
 cture is the keystone of every digital experience. It's where consumer n
 eeds and desires often collide with a brand's hopes and dreams. The dang
 er for companies as they grow is figuring out how to integrate new featu
 res into their customer's existing experience. Using real world examples
  and personal anecdotes\, Matthew and Noah will discuss how they navigat
 e the challenge of innovating on top of existing platforms using a consu
 mer-centric approach. You'll gain perspective on where to look for inspi
 ration and insight\, how to prioritize features into something that is m
 eaningful and authentic\, and how not to lose your mind in the process.&
 #13\;\n&#13\;\n2p: Joel Barker and Michael Sulis-Wordlions and Summit En
 ergy Tech\, respectively&#13\;\nCapture\, Tagging and Release of Institu
 tional Knowledge: Delivering Information in the Real World&#13\;\nWhen c
 reating a system to deliver institutional information outside of the org
 anization\, the success of the project rests on understanding the requir
 ements and work process of all stakeholders. In this case study\, Summit
  Energy Tech and Word Lions collaborated to collect\, organize\, and mak
 e available the mission critical institutional knowledge that was the fo
 undation of our client’s relationship with their customers. This present
 ation will cover not only our solution\, but the points where understand
 ing the client capacity makes the difference between implementation and 
 project failure.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n3p: Alison Stump-The Social Wall&#13\;\n
 Visualizing Insight: Getting Started in Information Architecture&#13\;\n
 Information Architecture has only recently been given the respect it des
 erves by those outside the realm of User Experience. Often the designs w
 e build are so elegant they appear simple. The average person on the str
 eet knows that a menu bar probably goes at the top of the page. In most 
 cases its &quot\;common sense&quot\;. It is positioned on the top of the
  page because an Information Architect thought about all the options\, c
 onsidered the usability and user research data and delivered a product t
 hat just works.That is what information Architecture is. So how do you d
 o it? We will discuss a basic schema\, various tools and resources to he
 lp you get started as well as key terms and phrases that will allow you 
 to escalate your career. &#13\;\n&#13\;\n4p: Dedrick Sprick-OHSU&#13\;\n
 Progressive Content Strategy: A content commitment model&#13\;\nThere ar
 e a lot of hurdles to overcome for managing content well on any site. Ma
 naging content well includes knowing your website\, scheduling tasks\, g
 etting the resources together\, staying on top of trends and responding 
 to visitor needs. Learn how to tackle this monumental task one step at a
  time\, so your team can grow with your website.&#13\;\n &#13\;\n&#13\;\
 nWe can have only 80 guests/session\, so it's all first come\, first ser
 ved\, so make sure you're on time! &#13\;\n&#13\;\nAlso\, food and drink
  is allowed\, but not provided. Please go to Floyd's Coffee across the s
 treet or People's Sandwich of Portland to find food\, or bring your own.

DESCRIPTION:As mobile web usage has exploded over the past few years\, Re
 sponsive Web Design (RWD) has become one of the go-to solutions to provi
 de content across a universe of different browsers and devices. Apps and
  websites have merged into one. In simple terms\, a responsive web desig
 n uses &quot\;media queries&quot\; to figure out what resolution of devi
 ce it's being served on. Flexible images and fluid grids then size corre
 ctly to fit the screen. From a QA view\, how can we effectively test RWD
 . The Technology Association of Oregon (TAO) is excited to provide an op
 portunity to gather and discuss lessons learned and real life strategies
  to test these applications.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nOn Thursday\, February 28th\
 , the Quality Assurance Forum of the TAO is presenting a panel discussio
 n on Responsive Web Design – Testing. Come join us for an engaging eveni
 ng with your SQA peers centered on how to test Responsive Web.&#13\;\n&#
 13\;\nPanelists:&#13\;\n&#13\;\nLyza Danger Gardner\, co-founder\, Cloud
  Four&#13\;\nSince co-founding Portland\, Ore.-based mobile web start-up
  Cloud Four (http://www.cloudfour.com) in 2007\, Lyza has tortured and t
 hrilled herself with the intricate ins and outs of the bazillion devices
  and browsers now accessing the web globally. Lyza and co-founder Jason 
 Grigsby are the authors of Head First Mobile Web.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nTrent P
 eterson\, co-founder\, AppThwack - &#13\;\nTrent Peterson spent seven ye
 ars at Intel designing system-automation solutions trusted to test produ
 cts used by millions of customers with an emphasis on simplicity and use
 r experience. He left in early 2012 to co-found AppThwack\,a mobile app 
 testing service that helps developers quickly and automatically test the

DESCRIPTION:Quality Assurance Forum Event: &#13\;\nPlan Less\, Break More
 \, Deliver Faster - an Agile Test Planning Workshop&#13\;\n&#13\;\nThere
  are as many Agile Test Plans as there are flavors of Agile. They range 
 from simply no test plan at all to fossilized relics left over from the 
 Waterfall days. So what does the Agile Manifesto say about test plans? I
 t says two things\, but nothing really specific: &quot\;working software
  over comprehensive documentation” and &quot\;responding to change over 
 following a plan”. What does this all mean when it comes to the Agile Te
 st Plan? &#13\;\n&#13\;\n&#13\;\nIn this hands on workshop\, we will spl
 it into teams\, analyze a real-life case study\, devise a test plan (or 
 perhaps discount the test plan)\, and answer this question once and for 
 all. Using a real-life case study we will fast forward through time\, ch
 ange deadlines\, change scope\, open defects\, and see how effective you
 r test plan really was.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n&#13\;\n&#13\;\nWhen: Thursday\, 
 May 9th &#13\;\n&#13\;\nWhere: Thetus Corporation\, 34 NW 1st Ave Portla

 fficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a d
 evelopment team is face-to-face conversation.&quot\;  And\, we know that
  distributed teams\, whether around the world or across a large corporat
 e campus\, are a fact of organizational life.  &#13\;\n&#13\;\nWhat have
  you seen or experimented with that has worked well?  What's your thorni
 est remote worker problem? Have you been able to move to co-located team
 s?  What persuaded the organization to do that?  Has it helped?&#13\;\n&
 #13\;\nThis month we're moving to a larger space where we can move aroun
 d\, work in small groups\, and get those sticky notes up on the wall!&#1

DESCRIPTION:Big Data is changing the world and whether your company’s dat
 a was created today or 20 years ago\, it’s time to explore incredible ne
 w database technologies and analytic ecosystems that will transform your
  business. Join Lilien Systems as we review the data continuum\, how the
  value of your data continuously changes and what to look for in a game-
 changing Big Data Solution for your enterprise. Discover how a real-time
  analytics solution lets you act on data at the point of maximum value –
  “right now” with velocity and real-time analytics.  Today’s leading dat
 abase technologies ingest maximum amounts of structured and unstructured
  data at high speeds with complete accuracy\, coupled with the ability t
 o make decisions the moment it arrives through analytics in real-time.  
 Data is being used in its oldest state and newest state to help organiza
 tions make decisions in real-time. With the phenomenal growth of Hadoop 
 infrastructure and the subsequent emergence of powerful databases such a
 s VoltDB and HP Vertica\, and a self-service visualization utility like 
 Tableau\, many industries and individual companies are finding considera
 ble value in different ways and faster than ever before.  Join Lilien Sy
 stems as we review the life of data and how an analytics solution ecosys
 tem would enhance your competitive advantage. Thanks a lot to the guys o
 f Thetus Corporation for allowing us to do the event there! Bonus: Your

DESCRIPTION:This month one of our regular attendees will reprise her talk
  at XP2014 for us.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nApplying Agile Management Concepts to 
 a Complex\, Multi-Year\, High Stakes Scientific Research Project present
 ed by Alicia Lanier&#13\;\n&#13\;\nThe South Florida Water\, Sustainabil
 ity\, and Climate Project is a $5M research project funded by the Nation
 al Science Foundation. This research project is in its second year of a 
 five-year duration\, with a geographically distributed team representing
  ten universities across the U.S.  This research team is developing a hy
 dro-economic optimization model and relevant inputs that will be used to
  evaluate management scenarios for south Florida water and environmental
  resources. A unique human systems dimension is also included as input t
 o the model.  Risks from potential climate change impacts\, such as sea 
 level rise\, are major drivers for pursuing this work.  &#13\;\n&#13\;\n
 Alicia introduced Agile management and Adaptive Action concepts have bee
 n introduced over the last nine months\, including iterative development
 \, retrospectives\, Scrum\, kanban \, and agile chartering. This combina
 tion of ‘light-weight management’ concepts has enabled researchers to co
 ntinue to pursue their scientific inquiry independently\, while ensuring
  collaboration across the sciences.  Ensuring individual creativity with
  simultaneous collaboration and integration additionally maximizes stewa
 rdship of federal funds.  The effectiveness on integration and productiv
 ity will be continuously analyzed through tools such as in-depth intervi
 ews\, retrospectives\, and online surveys of project participants and st
 akeholders. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nAlicia's inner fire is stoked by helping tea
 ms achieve big dreams using agile project management\, adaptive action\,
  and unique facilitation methods.  Alicia is intrigued by the possibilit
 y of a world of (non-software) teams who understand the power of being a
 gile\, and have tools to help get them there. Her clients include munici
 palities and state organizations\, distributed university teams\, and bu
 sinesses.  When she started her own company 11 years ago\, she gave hers
 elf the gift to study anything that piqued her curiosity.  That gift led
  to her exposure to agile principles\, human systems dynamics\, servant 
 and facilitative leadership concepts\, importance of retrospectives\, un
 ique facilitation methods\, Lean\, and more.  She currently manages the 
 LinkedIn site ‘Agile Project Management (non-software)’.  Prior to start
 ing her own company\, she worked for over 13 years at CH2M HILL\, and 6 
 years at North Carolina State University.  She is a registered Professio
 nal Engineer in California\, Oregon and North Carolina\, as well as a Hu
 man Systems Dynamics Professional.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n\n\nTags: agile\, pmi\

DESCRIPTION:This event is sponsored by MapR\, one of the biggest Hadoop D
 istributions on the market\, and big contributor of Apache Hadoop projec
 ts like HBase\, Pig (programming language)\, Apache Hive\, and Apache Zo
 oKeeper. \n\n\nDescription Hadoop has been a huge success in the data wo
 rld. It’s disrupted decades of data management practices and technologie
 s by introducing a massively parallel processing framework. The communit
 y and the development of all the Open Source components pushed Hadoop to
  where it is now. That's why the Hadoop community is excited about Apach
 e Spark. The Spark software stack includes a core data-processing engine
 \, an interface for interactive querying\, Sparkstreaming for streaming 
 data analysis\, and growing libraries for machine-learning and graph ana
 lysis. Spark is quickly establishing itself as a leading environment for
  doing fast\, iterative in-memory and streaming analysis. This talk will
  give an introduction the Spark stack\, explain how Spark has lighting f
 ast results\, and how it complements Apache Hadoop. About the Presenter

DESCRIPTION:Managing and Utilizing Big Data for Your Workforce | HR Event
 &#13\;\n&#13\;\nIt’s been said that Big Data is like dating in middle sc
 hool - everyone talks about it\, but nobody knows what they’re doing. We
  aim to help change that.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nWhat information can/should/mus
 t we collect from employees\, and how do we connect it to large business
  and benefits management systems?&#13\;\n&#13\;\nJoin us on October 7th 
 as we explore Big Data and What it Means to Your Workforce.&#13\;\n&#13\
 ;\nPanelists:&#13\;\n&#13\;\nEric Wilson\, Principal\, HR Integrated Sol
 utions -- Eric will try to separate the fact from fiction with regard to
  how big data is likely to impact the future of HR.  How do you determin
 e what data you should consider acquiring and from what sources?  Once y
 ou get your hands on the information how do you turn that “raw” data int
 o something that is actionable\, with potentially predictive relevance? 
  How do you present the data in a way that can drive decisions to achiev
 e organizational change?  This should be a thought-provoking primer rega
 rding the relevance of Big Data in HR.   &#13\;\n&#13\;\nCheck back for 
 additional panelists.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nModerator:&#13\;\n&#13\;\n[Gloria I
