Our fellow techy, Patrick, has arranged a group tour with one of the museum docents.  This is a excellent opportunity not to be missed!

From Patrick :

"Not nearly enough people realize that just across the Duwamish waterway there's a building packed to the rafters with communications hardware dating back to the early days of telephony. The Museum of Communications features racks of fully functional electromechanical Panel and Crossbar central-office switches, working Step-by-Step and Crossbar PBX equipment, telegraph and teletype machines, antique telephones, switchboards, and much more. They've even got an authentic British post office callbox shipped over from Britain. The equipment is laid out in such a way that the docent can walk visitors through the evolution of telephone communications systems from its earliest days up through the digital revolution. When the docent places a phone call, you can watch rows of electromechanical hardware go through exactly the same process used to place phone calls almost 100 years ago. Suggested donation is $5 for adults, $2 youths aged 12 to 18."

Our weekly Rails meetup at Cafe Racer has been growing - come build your rails projects and learn to code on Mondays at Cafe Racer from 7PM-9PM (though some show up early!). You can also take advantage of the beer+shot $7 special. Cafe Racer is all-ages.

Join us at the RealSelf office in Pioneer Square for our next Ladies in Tech Seattle event! Delicious drinks and food will be provided by the RealSelf's amazing team, so come on down and enjoy :)

This month’s lightening talk topic will be "Communication: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly". This idea came from one of our members who was curious to hear what communication strategies have worked for other women in the group, and how they have worked to convince others of their ideas or point of view. Communication can be one of the biggest struggles for all human relationships, not to mention in companies or organizations. I know I'll be at the edge of my seat to hear advice from our amazing LISTers on this topic! 

Do you have thoughts or advice on communicating in the works place, how it's different for women or what's generally worked well for you in the past? Tell us about it! We are looking for 5 Lightning Talk Speakers to tell us their thoughts and advice on the above. Please message us via this MeetUp page and we'll get you set up to present to the group!

Spend your evening sharing and hearing about new ideas, listening to advice and building your community, all while enjoying chilled drinks and tasty appetizers provided by RealSelf.

Doors open at 5:30pm and the event will begin at 6pm. 

We’re really looking forward to this Ladies in Seattle Tech event! Space will be limited, please RSVP today.

Join us for an exclusive intimate workshop to help you and 34 others get answers to your pressing legal and tax questions. RSVPing to this Meetup page will not register you for this event. Tickets can be purchased here.

At this roundtable discussion led by partners of Summit Law Group, get insights and wisdom about key legal mistakes to avoid, and how to avoid them. For example, learn how and why you need to adequately manage your cap table, protect your IP and trade secrets, understand your contracts, and to assess risk before making a decision. The discussion will be open and free-flowing, so be prepared with your questions to get the most out of this rare opportunity!

Join Bader Martin for a discussion regarding startup expenses and tax/accounting essentials for new or emerging companies.  Among the topics will be defining startup costs and how to treat them for accounting and tax purposes, business entity selection and formation, and paying your people properly.  We want this to be an interactive discussion, so please be ready to ask questions and take advantage of this great opportunity.

This is a rare opportunity to get both legal and tax expert help for a small fraction of the price it would cost to sit down with one expert on your own. 

We'll be in an intimate circular format for a collaborative discussion to give you personalized help and advice. Summit Law and Bader Martin will be providing teams of legal and tax professionals, handouts and coffee and pastries for you.

In today's society, technology is steadily growing and increasingly becoming one of the most powerful sources in history. With people from all nationalities and ethnicities using technology to connect and interact, it poses the question: Why aren't the people behind technology as diverse as its users?

CODE documentary aims to bring awareness to the lack of diversity within tech jobs. Through various interviews and animations, CODE explores cultural mindsets, stereotypes, and reasons why most minorities are not seeking opportunities in tech.

Come share what projects you're up to, ask your burning questions, and just come chat with folks as excited about the intersection of education and technology as you are. It's summer, and happy hour ends at 6pm, so we'll start a little early to take advantage.

Also, our long-time organizer Steve is moving back east, so come out to tell him goodbye! Lindsey will also be stepping aside as an organizer, but will still be attending future Seattle EdTech meetups as a participant. We'll be introducing our three new wonderful organizers: Melanie, Marie, and Nishant!

https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/b/5/5/5/event_460426421.jpegBranding a startup is often confused with the act of paying $5-$5000 for a logo design in an effort to “look more legit” to potential partners, investors and prospects. Recently, developing a "brand story” to pique prospects' interest has become a popular concept. But what does that even mean? When does branding really matter for your company, and how can you build yours on a limited budget?

In this presentation, we will discuss:

How to affordably build and care for your brand as early as possible, and why you even want to (“But what if we pivot???" It’s ok. We’ll cover that.) How to make your abstract, passionate visions into tangible, emotive "ah-hah, that’s what these guys are about” moments How a simple framework can help you or your team reach consensus about positioning, messaging and other business-ing activities
You’ll walk away with actionable information you can use right away to make your startup a little less “startuppy” (you know what I mean). Whether you just came up with an idea yesterday, or are expanding your product line, you will learn how to make your brand a practical part of growing your business.

Reactive Extensions (Rx) is one of the coolest things I've ever seen in computer science. It’s basically a good implementation of the popular observer pattern, but its real power comes from the many operators that allow you to manipulate those streams of observed events. Once you grok the concept of stream manipulation, you start seeing so many problems that can be more easily and elegantly solved with Rx than with classic means.

Come learn about Rx, why big names like Netflix and Angular 2 have chosen to rely on this technology, and why you might want to too.

Bio 

I studied Computer Engineering and Mathematics in school a long time ago, and have thoroughly enjoyed my career course ever since - primarily teaching and software development and primarily on the web stack. I gained experience in education, aerospace manufacturing, and insurance, and eventually joined Microsoft with the goal of informing and inspiring software developers. I authored my first book CSS for Windows 8 App Development, published a couple of courses on Pluralsight.com, and try to keep up with audiences via my blog codefoster.com and my Twitter feed @codefoster. When I’m not working, I’m working on maker projects, spending time with my wife and two sons, hiking and camping, sailing, scuba diving, or working on house projects.

Google Apps Script is a server-side JavaScript implementation with access to the APIs for several Google Services. If you are building an application for users who already have a Google account, you can use your JavaScript skills to create an application that can access a user's personal content on Google.

A Google Script application can exist on its own, within a Google Document/Spreadsheet or as a standalone web service. All you need to get started is a Google Drive account. In this presentation, we will walk through the creation of each of these types of applications and discuss how each type of application can be useful.

At the Georgetown University Library, Terry has deployed a number of simple applications for library staff using Google Apps Script.

Terry Brady is a software developer in Seattle working for the Georgetown University Library. Terry is a committer for the DSpace repository platform.
