The Esri GeoDev Meetup is back again, and this time it is organized around a theme of biking! That means the intro, keynote, and lightning talks will all be focused on usages of GIS development within the context of biking and cycling.

Join us on Wednesday, April 3rd for this biking-themed meetup. Food and beverages will be provided.

This event is a social gathering for developers to discuss the latest in mapping, geo technology, geo services, web and mobile mapping apps, app design, map data or anything else related to solving real-world "geo/biking" problems.

Developers of all levels of expertise are welcome, from seasoned GIS professionals to those new to geospatial development.

Have you done research around or built a cool biking app recently that you'd like to show off? Submit a lightning talk! We'd love to see it!

• Meet fellow PDX techies.

• Show us what you got by demoing your application or framework.

• Make a name for yourself in presenting a cool new/interesting concept or idea.

• Impress others by sharing your experiences.

• Make BFFs for life by connecting with other developers!

You’ll learn about ways to empower yourself to own your data, create and publish content on your own site, and only optionally syndicate to third-party silos. Along the way you’ll get a solid grounding in the history and future of Microformats, domain ownership, IndieAuth, WebMention and more.

The IndieWeb movement is a global community that is building an open set of principles and methods that empower people to take back ownership of identity and data instead of sharecropping on 3rd party websites. Homestead, don’t sharecrop! You’ll learn about ways to empower yourself to own your data, create and publish content on your own site, and only optionally syndicate to third-party silos.

Come join us! We are going to have a Sounding Board night where anyone can drop in and regale us with their 5 minute talk on any subject. Sometimes it gets old torturing your roommates and co-workers, or perhaps you'd prefer a group of women to listen. We will offer you feedback, if you like, or not, if you would prefer just to practice.

I'd like to get about 6-8 5 minute talks on the docket, so if you want to give a talk or know someone who does, please let me know!

Special Feedback Guest will be Kristen Gallagher of Edify Education Design and presenter of "How to "do" Talks and Workshops" at ACT-W Portland.

NOTE: The front door to the building locks at 6pm. We will have someone down there letting people in from 6:00-6:45  or so. Post a message here or tweet at us (@pdx-ios, @aranasaurus, or @mbcharbonneau) if you get there after and no one is down there. Try to get there as close to 6:30 as possible though, as we'll be getting started as close to then as we can to make sure we have time to actually get something built!

Bring your WatchKit ideas and desire to learn and/or share what you've already learned about Apple's next big thing, just before you can pre-order it!

We have a project, a simple RoShamBo game (with the addition of Lizard and Spock), which a user can play against the computer on their phone. Here is the repo for it, but it is a work in progress (and probably will be until the day of, if last time is any indicator), though it is pretty much feature-complete at this point. At the workshop we will work together to add WatchKit functionality to the project, including determine exactly what that functionality will be. Bring a laptop (with the current released version of Xcode (Version 6.2 (6C131e)), Swift 1.1, iOS SDK 8.2) and follow along, or do your own customizations!

There will be ample space for people who just want to hack on their own WatchKit projects and chat with other WatchKit explorers as well. So, feel free to BYO Project!

Gather with fellow Gophers for an evening of Talks and discussion around Golang! All experience levels welcome, but this specific talk night will be more advanced!

In January it was stated that Second Tuesdays of the month would always be PDXGo event night. Well, this February gets the extra fortune of having a second night thanks to a special guest from Google being in town! So there will be two nights; advanced and beginner oriented! The advanced night will be the standard time Second Tuesday Feb 10th, and special beginner night on Thursday the 12th.

Schedule:

Hang out and chat with other Gophers until about 6:30

Talk: Kelsey Hightower will be talking about CoreOS's new container project Rocket! Rocket is a CLI for running App Containers. The goal of rocket is to be composable, secure, and fast.

Rocket is entering the same service container space as Docker, and it will be exciting to see how the two Golang projects develop and contrast!

Mapping software leader Esri was a brand new startup back in 1969 and grew into the privately-owned billion dollar business it is today.

In 2010, Amber Case and Aaron Parecki founded and launched Geoloqi as a Portland startup that provides a location-based services platform on a wide variety of devices. 

The mutual success and compatibility of these two companies brought a merger in 2012, and Geoloqi became the newest Esri R&D Center, with Amber as Director and Aaron as CTO, doubling in size since then.

Stop on by the Esri R&D Center here in Portland to meet the folks there, see what they’ve built and are building next, and network with others interested in learning more about the technology that drives the power of Where. 

If you’re a developer, pick up a free license to mapping apps, APIs, and SDKs here. 

As for this Happy Hour, bring your techy curiosity and we’ll bring the food and drinks. See ya there!

Gather with fellow Gophers for an evening of Talks and discussion around Golang! All experience levels welcome!

This week's Portland meetup is part of PDX DevWeek, so we will be running it as more of an unstructured hack night rather than the traditional format.

Time for another Code for Portland hack night! Join us to work on civic hacking projects for a better Portland! Bring projects, ideas, laptops, data, and friends.

Schedule:

• 6:00-6:20 -- Participants arrive and socialize.
• 6:20-6:30 -- Group introductions, announcements from participants & organizers.
• 6:30-8:30 -- Hacking! Project teams break out to work. New participants can join teams, circulate, or seek out organizers for orientation (Nate G., Erica, Nate W., or Mele).
• ~7:30 -- Pizza arrives.
• 8:30+ -- Everyone reconvenes and shares reactions and progress made over the last two hours. Show and tell if time/resources allow it. Thank you and goodnight!

Optional Happy Hour for stragglers after everything's wrapped up.

Please RSVP on meetup so that we know how much pizza we'll need!

Join us at Esri's new R&D Center office in downtown Portland for two days of a BarCamp-style gathering of web creators building and sharing open web technologies to empower users to own their own identities & content, and advance the state of the indie web!

You’ll learn about ways to empower yourself to own your data, create and publish content on your own site, and only optionally syndicate to third-party silos. Along the way you’ll get a solid grounding in the history and future of Microformats, domain ownership, IndieAuth, WebMention and more.

The IndieWeb movement is a global community that is building an open set of principles and methods that empower people to take back ownership of identity and data instead of sharecropping on 3rd party websites. Homestead, don’t sharecrop! You’ll learn about ways to empower yourself to own your data, create and publish content on your own site, and only optionally syndicate to third-party silos.

Come Celebrate our new Office!

After Portland startup Geoloqi joined Esri in 2012, our office has grown from 6 to 20 people and our current space didn't fit everyone!

Now that we're all settled into our new space, we'd love to invite you to join us in celebrating growth, community and all things geo! We'll have Legos, toys, and even a custom-built Settler's of Catan board for you to play! Feel free to bring other board games if you'd like.

RSVP!

RSVP on EventBrite so we can make sure we have enough drinks and light snacks (gluten free) for everyone! We are using Eventbrite to track RSVPs, if you know you are coming please reserve a ticket! In addition to celebrating Esri R&D Center Portland's new office, we will be celebrating Geoloqi's 4th year anniversary, as well as both Amber Case's and Patrick Arlt's birthday!

Who is invited?

The entire Portland tech community is invited, as well as friends and family of the Esri R&D Center team!

We have all of you to thank for helping us get where we are today. Special thanks to TiE, PIE, PSF, PDC for funding us, providing mentorship and being patient with our crazy vision this entire time. It's been 4 years since Geoloqi started, and almost 2 since we've been a part of Esri!
