This interactive workshop gives you practical techniques to facilitate those moments rather than dread them.\nIn this 90-minute\, in-person session at North Bank Innovations at The VIC\, members of the Pacific Northwest Facilitators Guild share their go-to methods for keeping tempers cool when hot topics arise. Through hands-on exercises and group discussion\, you’ll focus on group facilitation (team meetings\, cross-functional discussions\, leadership off-sites)\, not one-on-one conflict resolution.\n\nYou’ll leave with several facilitation techniques for cooling down high-stakes group conversations\, plus a simple plan for trying at least one of them out in a meeting sometime in the next two weeks.\n\nABOUT THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST FACILITATORS GUILD\nThe PNWFG is a professional collective of independent facilitators and small firms serving Oregon and Washington. The Guild exists because organizations in this region deserve better access to skilled facilitation when it matters most: the high-stakes conversations\, the stalled innovations\, the cross-functional tangles\, the decisions that keep getting deferred. Members bring a range of methodologies and deep experience.\n\nPlease RSVP and let us know if your plans change\, so we can plan accordingly.\nTags: portland design thinkers\, ux\, ux design\, professional networking\, community building\, communication\, meeting facilitation\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482696 URL:https://pdxwit.net/event/hot-topics-cool-heads/ LOCATION:North Bank Innovation at The VIC: 18110 SE 34th St. Suite #120\, Vancouver WA 98583 United States CATEGORIES:Calagator END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260923T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260923T160000 DTSTAMP:20260922T220332Z CREATED:20260915T220026Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260922T220332Z UID:3896-1790150400-1790179200@pdxwit.net SUMMARY:NEDME (NW Electronics Design & Manufacturing Expo) DESCRIPTION:Frontiers: Exploring What’s Next in Electronics and Manufacturing\nThe 23rd edition of the NW Electronics Design & Manufacturing Expo returns to the spacious Wingspan Event & Conference Center at the Washington County Fairgrounds — our third year in the hall.

You can close the first round and convince the first hires\, usually also scientists. But scientists often fall into the expert trap\, when your deep expertise prevents them from connecting with non-experts\, like angel investors and non-scientist executives who could become your next hire or your next partner. What made you credible in the lab becomes a liability as the team grows.\n\nThis session looks at the specific pattern PhD and MD founders fall into somewhere between fifteen people and sixty: the founder keeps leaning on the science and insists on leading the communications alone\, long after the company has outgrown that approach. Dr. Clovis will walk through when things tend to change structurally\, why “I’ll handle it myself” stops working\, and what early-stage and pre-Phase II leaders can put in place now to maintain scientific integrity while growing the company.\nTags: lunchandlearn\, biotech\, oregon\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482687 URL:https://pdxwit.net/event/virtual-lunch-learn-the-scientist-ceo-communication-trap-why-brilliant-founders-create-the-exact-problem-that-stalls/ CATEGORIES:Calagator END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260921T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260921T120000 DTSTAMP:20260915T220014Z CREATED:20260815T202456Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260915T220014Z UID:3706-1789981200-1789992000@pdxwit.net SUMMARY:Code & Coffee - Beaverton DESCRIPTION:Code & Coffee is an inclusive\, informal co-working session: drink your beverage of choice\, bring your laptop\, and hang out with your peers!

Schabell\, SuSE\n\nContributing to a CNCF graduated project feels out of reach until someone shows you exactly how it happens. In this session\, that someone is on stage doing it in real time — spotting a gap between what the Fluent Bit codebase actually does and what the docs say\, opening a branch on a live fork\, running the project’s prose linter\, writing a properly signed commit\, and pushing a pull request that closes a real tracked issue. Every step\, no shortcuts\, no slides pretending to be a terminal.\n\nYou will leave knowing the two-repo mental model that makes Fluent Bit doc contributions work\, the git habits that signal credibility to maintainers\, and the AI guardrails that keep your name attached to work you actually stand behind. Your first PR does not require deep C knowledge. It requires knowing where to look\, how to show your work\, and when to keep your hands on the wheel."\n\nSecond Presentation: Devs\, Transform (Your Data) and Roll Out!: Learning and Leveraging OTTL\n\nSpeaker: Reese Lee\, New Relic\n\nThe OpenTelemetry Collector is OTel’s power tool for ingesting and processing your app and infrastructure data\, but there’s even more you can do with your data before it reaches your backend!

Tuesday September 8\, 2026 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm.\n\nCoinciding with (https://devopsdays.org/events/2026-portland-or/welcome/)\, Sept 8-10\, 2026.\n\nIn v18\, Postgres got temporal primary keys\, unique constraints\, and foreign keys (with `NO ACTION`). Hopefully in v19 we’ll have `UPDATE/DELETE FOR PORTION OF`. So it’s a good time to start thinking about migrating your schema to a temporal structure. Some advantages include:\n\n– Easier queries and joins to reconstruct historical data.\n– A better way to do soft-deletes (preserving referential integrity).\n– No bugs from foreign key references to since-updated data.\n– A less ad hoc way of representing historical data.\n\nThis talk will explore how to migrate your schema to include application-time `daterange` and `tstzrange` columns. I’ll use an existing schema for a time-tracking and invoicing application (used by me for over 12 years)\, showing the pain points of the old structure\, not sparing my pride at some bad decisions\, and give an approach to bring it all into a nicer temporal structure.\n\nWe will also talk about some remaining pain points in using temporal tables\, and suggestions to mitigate them.\nIf you are contemplating a move to temporal tables\, this talk will give you an overview of the landscape.\n\nPresented by Paul Jungwirth:\n\nPaul is a freelance software developer in Portland\, Oregon.\nHe has built applications with Postgres since 2010 and is the author of several extensions.\nHis Postgres contributions include work on GiST indexes\, multiranges\, and SQL:2011 application-time features.\nTags: postgres\, postgresql\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482662 URL:https://pdxwit.net/event/pdxpug-meetup-migrating-to-a-temporal-schema/ LOCATION:Upstart Collective: 111 SW 5th Ave\, Portland Oregon 97204 US CATEGORIES:Calagator END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260908 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260911 DTSTAMP:20260827T231921Z CREATED:20260704T215028Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260827T231921Z UID:3115-1788825600-1789084799@pdxwit.net SUMMARY:DevopsDays PDX DESCRIPTION:This event runs from Tuesday\, September 8\, 2026 at midnight through Thursday\, September 10\, 2026 at midnight.\nDescription:\nJoin us at DevOpsDays Portland – September 8-10\, 2026 at Portland State University!\n\nDevopsdays is a worldwide series of technical conferences covering topics of software development\, IT infrastructure operations\, and the intersection between them.

Spread across a team\, that is easily six figures a year.\n\nThis free hour covers which operational tasks AI agents handle reliably today\, which ones still need a person\, and how to run the payroll math for your own company.\n\nTaught by Jordan Calderon\, a 4x bootstrapped founder with three exits. His previous agency drove $175M+ in client revenue.\n\nYou will leave with a way to spot the repetitive work hiding in your own payroll\, real examples of agent builds that worked and ones that did not\, and live answers: bring the task eating your team’s week and Jordan will work through as many as he can.\n\nWho this is NOT for: solo founders and pre-team startups.
