SUMMARY:PNSQC June Meetup: Tech Talk Team Up with Portland AWS User Group
DESCRIPTION:The PNSQC and Portland AWS User Group are joining forces this June at ProFocus Headquarters for an evening of technical learning with cloud\, security\, and quality professionals from across the region.\n\nThis month\, Trevor Gudeman\, Senior Software Engineer at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory\, takes us inside how AWS can level up code quality across CI/CD workflows. With a focus on CodeBuild and CodePipeline\, Trevor will show how AWS-native tools can take the manual effort out of key quality checks — think linting\, unit testing\, code coverage\, static analysis\, security scanning\, and quality gates — so your team can catch issues earlier and ship with more confidence.\n\nThis will be a hybrid meetup\, so mingle in person or tune in online. Doors (and virtual lobby) open at 5:30pm for a half hour of pre-talk networking.\n\nDrinks provided by ProFocus. Free to attend!\n‎\nSchedule:\n\n5:30pm – 6pm Networking\n6pm – 7:30pm Tech Talk\nTags: aws\, ci\, CD\, devops\, agile\, automation\, engineer\, networking\, qa\, quality assurance\, software\, software quality\, software testing\, tech\, technologies\, technology\, test\, testing\, tooling\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482583

SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: From Half-Baked to Fully-Baked: Getting Your Product Right for Faster Market Uptake
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered if your product truly has the upside you believe—or have sold to your investors?

The talk is based on case studies with local Inc.-5000 companies that\, while smart\, made product blunders costing millions of dollars because of overconfidence and hubris.\nTags: biotech\, entrepreneur\, funding\, networking\, science\, startup\, lunchandlearn\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482574

SUMMARY:Starlight Parade
DESCRIPTION:Portland Starlight Parade\n\nIn 2026\, the Portland Rose Festival proudly introduces an exciting evolution of two beloved traditions: the CareOregon Grand Floral Starlight Parade.\nThis newly reimagined parade brings together the pageantry of the Grand Floral Parade with the energy and excitement of the Starlight Parade into one unforgettable celebration. By combining these iconic events\, the Rose Festival is creating a single\, dynamic parade experience that honors tradition while embracing creativity\, community\, and innovation.\n\nTo preserve the distinct character of each parade\, the event will unfold in two phases. The Grand Floral portion will step off at 6:30 pm\, featuring floral floats\, marching bands\, equestrian units\, and community groups in daylight. Later in the evening\, as darkness falls\, the Starlight portion will step off at 8:30 pm\, showcasing illuminated floats\, lighting effects\, and nighttime spectacle. The two portions will run sequentially allowing each to shine in its own way.\n\nThis format allows for richer storytelling\, broader representation\, and an enhanced experience for both participants and spectators\, while also enabling the Rose Festival to focus resources more intentionally—strengthening production quality\, improving operational efficiency\, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of one of Portland’s most cherished civic celebrations.\n\nWe look forward to welcoming the community to this bold new chapter of the Rose Festival.\n\nWays To Watch\n\nFrom The Street\nGet in on the action for free with a city street spot! The CareOregon Grand Floral Starlight Parade travels through downtown Portland and ends at Lincoln High School. View the Route Map below and find your favorite spot!\n\nPro Tip! Set your chairs for the parade in the afternoon and enjoy some fair food and carnival rides at CityFair before the parade steps off!\n\nTags: portland\, pdx\, rosefestival\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482593

SUMMARY:Portland Linux/Unix Group General Monthly Meeting: Inside AI Supercomputers\, with Jesse Lopez
DESCRIPTION:Summary:\n\nLarge language models and other frontier AI systems are trained on clusters with thousands to over a hundred thousand GPUs. But what does that infrastructure actually look like? This talk walks through the anatomy of an AI supercomputer from the ground up: individual GPUs\, multi-GPU nodes\, racks\, and full clusters. We’ll cover the three pillars of compute\, storage\, and networking\, then look at how training and inference workloads place very different demands on hardware. Finally\, we’ll explore how Linux runs the show at every layer from the OS on each node\, to InfiniBand fabric management\, to job scheduling with Slurm\, Kubernetes\, and Ray.\nNo AI/HPC background required – just curiosity about what it takes to build and run the machines behind the models.\n\nBio:\n\nJesse Lopez is an AI/ML and Technical Program Manager in the Azure HPC/AI organization where he helps deploy large-scale AI infrastructure and works with customers to put it to use. A former scientist\, he has a background in high-performance computing\, AI/ML\, and has been a Linux user since the nineteen hundreds.\nTags: plug\, linux\, Expiring secure boot certificates\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482598

SUMMARY:Portland Accessibility and User Experience Meetup (PDX A11Y UX) - Alt Text is the Ocean You Thought Was a Pond
DESCRIPTION:#### Topic\n\nWriting proper alt text is hard. But it doesn’t have to be. There’s a minimum standard and an advanced approach. People who need alt text will appreciate you for the former and love you for the latter. Alt text is also a whole lot more than the `alt` attribute. That’s just one of the many ways to make content accessible. In fact\, there are a number of considerations for writing great alt text.\n\nIn this presentation\, Mark Wyner will help you understand the spectrum of options so you can take good care of your audience. We’ll walk through implementation methods\, phonetics\, composition\, complex sources\, and tackling social media.\n\nLet’s give screen readers and other assistive technologies something to *talk* about.\n\n#### Agenda\n\nThe event begins at 6 pm; join early\, starting at 5:45 pm for networking.\n\n* 5:45 Networking\n* 6:00 Introductions and announcements\n* 6:15 Presentation\n* 6:45 Q&A and discussion\n\n#### About the presenter\n\n(https://markwyner.com/) is an autodidactic polymath with over two decades of experience in design and development. His approach prioritizes usability\, accessibility\, and inclusivity. He’s also an antifascist humanitarian. So diversity and equity are overarching principles for everything he does in this space. Currently\, as the Lead Product Designer at BookNook. His pronouns are he/him/his. You can follow him on Mastodon or his accessibility writings on his website.\n\n#### Accommodation requests\n\nIf you have any accommodation requests\, don’t hesitate to contact us before the event to discuss.\nTags: User Research\, a11y\, accessibility\, accessibility lawsuits\, accessible technology\, accessible web design\, disability\, human rights\, inclusive design\, meetup:event=314591176\, meetup:group=Portland-Accessibility-and-User-Experience-Meetup\, mobile user experience\, screen reader\, structured negotiation\, technology\, universal design\, usability\, user experience\, wcag\, web accessibility\, web design\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482556

SUMMARY:PNSQC May Meetup: From the PMI Floor - an honest conversation on AI
DESCRIPTION:Please register on either Meetup (https://www.meetup.com/pnw-software-quality-professionals-pnsqc/events/314648123/) or Luma (https://luma.com/60m4kgqw) so we can count attendance!\n\nConverge with your fellow software professionals this May at Steeplejack on NE Broadway!\n\nWhat are project managers actually saying about AI\, quality\, and delivery — and what does it mean for us in QA? Jahzeel Ormeño\, Founder and Principal Consultant of SimplexityPM\, is bringing the conversation from the PMI Portland Annual Conference straight to our Meetup with her informal talk "From the PMI Conference Floor: What the PM World Is Saying About Quality\, AI\, and Getting Work Done Right".\n\nJahzeel is excited to debrief her experience from the conference with an honest conversation about what PMs are actually talking about: where AI is showing up (and where it isn’t)\, what else dominated the room\, and how the PM practices most of us take for granted connect directly to software quality outcomes. Come ready to share what you’re seeing on your end too — the best part will be comparing notes.\n\nYou don’t need to be a PM to get something out of this. It’s a good fit if you’re curious about any of the following:\n• What PMs and quality folks have in common (and where they still talk past each other)\n• How AI is actually landing in delivery teams — beyond the hype\n• Which PM habits quietly prevent quality problems before they start\n• Continuing the conversations from PMI Portland 2026\n\nThis will be a hybrid meetup\, so mingle in person or tune in online. Doors (and virtual lobby) open at 6pm for a half hour of pre-talk networking.\n\nSchedule:\n\n6pm – 6:30pm Networking (online included)\n6:30pm – 7:30pm ‎Open discussion led by Jahzeel\n\n(While free to attend\, food and drinks from the delicious Steeplejack menu will not be covered.)\nTags: pm\, pmi\, project management\, agile\, AI\, automation\, engineer\, leadership\, networking\, process\, qa\, quality assurance\, software\, software quality\, software testing\, tech\, technologies\, technology\, test\, testing\, tooling\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482573

SUMMARY:Cloud Native May Meetup: Change-driven Architecture and Serving Inference at Scale
DESCRIPTION:Cloud Native PDX May: Change-driven Architecture and Serving Inference at Scale\n\nThis May is all about scaling; scaling your infrastructure management\, or scaling your LLM inference serving. Join us to find out about some open source tools to make managing large modern stacks easier.\n\nDate: Thursday\, May 14\nTime: 5:30–7:30 PM\nLocation: Reperio Health\, 4784 SE 17th Ave Suite 120\, Portland\, OR\n\nRecording: Talks are typically recorded (opt-in by speakers)\n\nA big thank you to Microsoft for sponsoring food & beverage\, and to Reperio Health\, our venue host.\n\nDrasi\, a new take on Change Driven Architectures: Aman Singh\, Microsoft\n\nModern cloud-native systems constantly generate data changes\, and applications often need to react to them. Building change-driven solutions that respond to specific changes in distributed data is challenging. This talk introduces Drasi\, a CNCF Sandbox project that simplifies the design and implementation of change-driven architectures using Graph Queries and pluggable components. For example\, with Drasi you can declaratively write automation to detect and respond to running containers with newly identified vulnerabilities across pods and deployments in a Kubernetes cluster. Join us for a walkthrough of real-world use cases that show how Drasi’s approach brings structure and responsiveness to complex distributed environments – without writing custom code.\n\nDynamo: Large Scale Distributed Inference\nDavid Zeir\, Director\, DL System Software\, Nvidia\nNeelay Shah\, Distinguished Engineer\, Nvidia\n\nThis talk introduces Dynamo\, NVIDIA’s open-source Kubernetes-native distributed inference platform. We’ll cover the problem space\, walk through Dynamo’s architecture — disaggregated prefill/decode\, KV-cache-aware routing\, and a transport layer that moves KV blocks directly between GPUs — and dig into the Kubernetes integration for scheduling\, autoscaling\, and graceful failure handling. We’ll close with a demo of Dynamo serving a real workload.\nTags: kubernetes\, containers\, cloud\, intrastructure\, devops\, LLM\, inference\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482554

SUMMARY:Building D3.js Visualizations For Non-Technical Audiences
DESCRIPTION:This presentation introduces D3.js as a powerful tool for transforming complex data into clear\, meaningful visual stories which non-technical audiences can understand and use. It explains what D3.js is\, how it works with web technologies and why visualization is essential for revealing patterns and insights raw data alone cannot show.\n\nThis talk emphasizes designing visualizations with the audience in mind while also covering core D3 concepts such as data binding\, scales\, layouts and interactive graphics. Through examples\, case studies\, design principles and practical tips\, this presentation demonstrates how builders can use D3.js to communicate ideas effectively and empower people to discover insights from data.\nTags: portland design thinkers\, data visualizations\, UX research\, problem solving\, collaboration\, innovation\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482543
