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

SUMMARY:Product-Market Fit + Go To Market Strategy: A Free Lightning Workshop for Founders
DESCRIPTION:A toolkit for founders from Ali Maaxa\, Ph.D.\, incubation product & marketing strategist (founder: ProductTheory.io\, former: AWS AI\, New Relic AI\, Meta AI\, Recreation.gov)\, guest VC expert Marianne Motus (UC Berkeley Business School)\, PDX startup dev team Semi-Decent\, and leaders from CHIFOO and the ORPIB Incubator.\n\nThis is a FREE lightning workshop to help scrappy startup founders nail product-market fit (PMF) and go-to-market strategy (GTM). Be your own incubator\, be nimble\, and be ready to answer deep strategic questions for potential investors\, flagship customers\, or strategic partners — in a flash.\n\nSure\, PMF and GTM are buzzwords thrown around constantly. But they stand in for due diligence that actually makes a difference. Skipping the fundamentals is the primary reason 91% of startups fail:\n\nThe classic frameworks that undergird successful incubations — from enterprise AI to EdTech startups\nRigorous market research powered by smart AI context engineering\nReal-deal\, progressive hypothesis-testing toward a heavy-hitting MVP\nIn fact\, 82% of "failed" founders say that challenging their assumptions about their market would have saved their business.\n\nMost startups don’t find product-market fit for one of two reasons: consultancies charge high overhead to run studies and then throw their findings over the wall — or founders rely on raw AI outputs without the frameworks and context engineering that hold up under VC scrutiny and real product + user discovery.\n\nFounders need a toolkit they can use throughout their entire product and business development journey. Before you hire a fractional\, take generic expert advice from someone who doesn’t understand your context\, or worse — guess your way into brand damage — let us help you develop your ProductTheory with startup-friendly canvases that will anchor your pitch deck and your upcoming rounds of critical business decisions.\n\nLearn more about Ali Maaxa’s work: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alimaaxa/\n\nGet on board with ProductTheory.io: https://www.producttheory.io/\nTags: Portland Startup Week\, startups\, innovation\, aws\, product market fit\, go to market strategy\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482552

SUMMARY:Dorkbot PDX: May Edition
DESCRIPTION:People doing strange things with electricity (and code)!\n\nDorkbotPDX is a laid-back meetup and show-and-tell for those who make\, modify and use technical tools to weird and imaginative ends. You might run into creative coders\, electronic artists\, circuit designers\, retro computing archaeologists\, video game devs\, modular synth gearheads and cyberpunk DIYers.\n\nBring your electronic wonders\, monsters\, and works-in-progress to show off\, or come see what others have been working on! Code or circuits\, electronic creativity of all sorts is welcome here.\n\nMost of Dorkbot is a freewheeling hangout\, but each month we feature a short talk about a cool project or teaching some esoteric wizardry.\n\nThis month\, Matthew Nielsen is sharing: A novel\, super efficient data compression technique used for audio time stretching (and more!). The intended audience is not just synthesizer/sampling nerds but anyone with an interest in digital signal processing\, particularly the efficient embedded variety. I’ve successfully applied this to weather data\, GPS/IMU\, and a range of industrial transmitters. See demo here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQ3FgaHN-ig\n\nTable space with power will be available for project show-and-tell; we have a table for drinks and snacks\, feel free to contribute to the communal cache/BYOB.\n\nWe do this every month\, usually on the second Monday night (check the site for upcoming dates to be sure)\n\nNote: We may be famous for the free parts cart…but the pile has gotten unruly\, so we’re not accepting new stuff. If you have things to give away\, check the Discord offer/ask channel to see if anyone would like to claim them. Feel free to exchange items at Dorkbot\, just no leftovers please!\n\nYou can subscribe to our calendar and mailing list\, join the Discord and find our social links on https://www.dorkbotpdx.org (It also has our Code of Conduct\, which we’d like you to check out while you’re there)\nTags: maker\, microcontrollers\, programming\, 3dprinting\, diy\, electronics\, engineering\, arduino\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482561
