Some devices provide Power over Ethernet with port-level control. The talk will include some fun demonstrations of installation and reverse engineering.\n\nBio:\n\nRussell has been a Linux user since December 1992. Since 2005\, he’s been involved with the Personal Telco Project\, and has been the President of that organization since 2009\, building public-access wifi networks and advocating for better telecommunications policy. He’s also been active in an effort to energize political support for a public fiber-optic last-mile network in Portland in order to break the monopoly power of the deregulated incumbent carriers. In recent years\, he’s become more active in recruiting speakers for PLUG\, kind of accidentally falling into the coordinator role as Michael Dexter stepped back. This talk represents a failure to find a better speaker\, not only Russell’s failure\, but the failure of the entire PLUG community. Shame on one and all! 😉\nTags: plug\, linux\, surviving death\, dns\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482653 URL:https://pdxwit.net/event/portland-linux-unix-group-general-monthly-meeting-installing-openwrt-on-realtek-based-managed-switches-with-russell-senior/ LOCATION:Portland State University Fourth Avenue Building (FAB) Room FAB 86-01: 1900 Southwest 4th Avenue\, Portland OR 97201 US CATEGORIES:Calagator END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260808T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260808T170000 DTSTAMP:20260808T182801Z CREATED:20260725T151532Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260808T182801Z UID:3372-1786194000-1786208400@pdxwit.net SUMMARY:HTML Day Portland DESCRIPTION:HTML Day is coming to Portland!\n\nHTML Day is a worldwide celebration of one of the internet’s most foundational technologies: HyperText Markup Language!

Most patent mistakes are cheap to avoid and expensive to fix. The trouble is that the fixing usually happens years later\, in a licensing dispute\, a due-diligence review\, or a courtroom\, long after the startup that made the mistake has moved on. This session looks at the most common patent errors early-stage companies make\, from public disclosures that quietly forfeit foreign rights\, to ownership and inventorship gaps\, to provisional applications that don’t actually protect what the founders think they do.\n\nRather than a checklist of best practices\, the talk works backward from how these mistakes surface once a patent is challenged or enforced\, from the vantage point of a patent litigator who spends his days on the consequences. Attendees will leave with a practical sense of which early decisions actually matter\, which ones are recoverable\, and where a modest investment of attention up front saves a great deal of money and heartburn later.\nTags: lunchandlearn\, biotech\, oregon\, patent\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482650 URL:https://pdxwit.net/event/virtual-lunch-learn-patent-pitfalls-the-early-mistakes-that-come-back-to-bite-you/ CATEGORIES:Calagator END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260826T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260826T200000 DTSTAMP:20260826T230518Z CREATED:20260818T205413Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260826T230518Z UID:3749-1787769000-1787774400@pdxwit.net SUMMARY:PDXOSGeo August Meetup - Gamifying GIS: From OpenStreetMap to Steam DESCRIPTION:Happy tail end of summer PDXOSGeo! \n\nJoin us fourth Wednesday August 26th for more of your favorite open source geo-goodness. Tonight’s special guest is EJ Fox: a designer\, developer\, and journalist who most recently collaborated with Colin Miller to bring Subway Builder to Steam. \n\nEJ’s talk is titled "Gamifying GIS: From OpenStreetMap to Steam "\, and the talk will share the technical and creative process of turning OpenStreetMap data\, routing algorithms\, and maplibre styles into gameplay.
