Description
The annual DFRWS conference allows leading digital forensics researchers from government, industry, and academia to present their work and results to fellow researchers and practitioners. Many of the most cited digital forensics papers have been presented at DFRWS and the annual challenge has spawned research in important areas. Initial results and tool prototypes are also presented during the Works in Progress and demo sessions.
The conference typically has about 100 people and is therefore small enough so that attendees meet each other and can interact with the speakers. A tradition of DFRWS as been its casual and interactive atmosphere where break out sessions exist to discuss topics related to the presentations. There are also opportunities to interact during the welcome reception and banquet. After the banquet, attendees can put their forensics skills to the test when they form teams to participate in the annual Forensics Rodeo, which is a challenge that requires participants to analyze data and answer questions. |

SAO ConnectPDX
Contact:
Stephanie El-Hajj (stephanie.el-hajj@sao.org)
Details
SAO ConnectPDX is a new kind of networking, relaxed, open, and the kind that fosters real connections.
You've been to enough networking events to know that they're usually a frantic business card swap, with shallow connections.
ConnectPDX is different. We provide a low key environment, in a fun space, where meeting people comes naturally.
We encourage professionals from different industries to attend, so everyone's networks can expand.
Free registration + great happy hour + great PDX connections = time well spent!
Blitz (Pearl) is open to minors until 9pm.
Where to park: If you're lucky, you can get metered street parking, but if you want a cheap garage, use Smart Park. |

Hops and Chops
Hops and Chops
6:30pm 8:30p, every Thursday
Spitfire -- 2219 4th Ave Seattle, WA 98121
Startup junkies, networkers, folks interested in learning new things and meeting new people, activists, and fun people!
Here's the gist:
o We were inspired by a fantastic recurring Portland happy hour event called Beer and Blog semi-coordinated by Silicon Florist & others.
o We liked that it's recurring and in a set-location and you can just put it on your calendar, and there will always be a few folks to catch up with.
o Folks who start companies are frequently inundated with coffee/lunch requests. This gives you a way to aggregate them and make intros/network in real-time.
Idea is that maybe we bring in speakers from time to time. Maybe tech-related, or maybe just cool/fun to help you learn something new/meet someone new.
Sign up for our Hops and Chops Twitter or follow the Hops and Chops RSS feed. Organized by Hops and Chops -- www.hopsandchops.com |

2600 Seattle Monthly Meeting
2600 Seattle Monthly Meeting
Monthly at 6pm-9pm on the first Friday
Washington State Convention & Trade Center
Created ByRoy for SeattleTechCalendar
Descrwww.wa2600.org
Washington State Convention & Trade Center
800 Convention Place
Seattle, WA - 98101 (see map)
2600 meetings are held the first Friday of every month at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center, which has excellent transportation connections from the greater Puget Sound area.
2600 Meetings exist as a forum for all interested in technology to meet and talk about events in technology-land, learn, and teach. Meetings are open to anyone of any age or level of expertise.
All meetings take place on the first Friday of every month. Most people begin to show up around 6pm. We now meet on the second floor, at the tables behind the escalators.
The Seattle meeting is one of the longest-running and most well-established 2600 meetings in the country, with an average turnout of more than twenty attendees. Most people begin to show up around 6pm. We now meet on the second floor, at the tables behind the escalators.
It's a common misconception that 2600 meetings involve lawlessness and mayhem. If these are your interests, you will not only be disappointed, but will probably be banned from the meeting by the Convention Center's Security Team. Conversely, if you are the kind of person who takes things apart to learn how they work, you delight in discovering how things operate "behind the scenes," and you question not just "how" but also "why," you're a hacker--even if you don't do anything illegal! At the Seattle 2600 meeting, unlike almost anywhere else, you won't be considered weird or dangerous for being who you are. Instead, you'll discover that you're not alone, you'll learn new things, and--most importantly--you'll have a lot of fun!
Most hackers aren't what you have heard or read about in the popular media. We have a passion for technology, a driving curiosity, and a strong belief in changing the world. In our experience, these attributes aren't learned; they're a gift. Don't worry if you're new to technology; while technologies shift constantly, the hacker spirit endures. Our community has a broad range of backgrounds, interests, and walks of life. While we are sometimes willing to bend the rules in order to learn new things, real hackers aren't inclined to deface Web pages and empty bank accounts (even though many know how to do so). While it does not make for exciting news, hackers are--as a whole--much more likely to void the warranty on a piece of equipment by taking it apart. |

seattlewireless.net Hack Night is a weekly meeting held by Seattle Wireless. We now meet at Metrix at 1605 Boylston Ave at Pine around 7:00 PM. Always check the EventCalendar to confirm that we are planning to meet. This is a generally a work meeting. The purpose is to get together, communicate, relate problems, and actively work out technical issues that directly relate to building out the SeattleWireless network. We also work on problems encountered by individual node operators. Demos of software or hardware are also done on occasion. In the process, we all learn about things we didn't know before which is certainly in the spirit of Seattle Wireless. If you think Seattle Wireless is cool and are interested in setting up a node, stopping by HackNight is a great way to meet the other people involved and figure out how to get started. |

SeaFunc (Seattle Functional Language Programming Group)
SeaFunc (Seattle Functional Language Programming Group)
When: Second Wednesday of every Month from 8pm 11pm
Where:Location varies - see web page
tech.groups.yahoo.com For the uninitiated: "Functional Programming" (FP) treats computation as the symbolic substitution of functions. Solving problems by making changes to program state is often avoided. Common Lisp, Scheme, Standard ML, OCaml, Haskell, and Clean are examples of FP languages. Anyone interested in the design or use of advanced programming languages - functional or not - is encouraged to come. We've been meeting consistently since June 2004. We always have 8-10 people, so many good networking contacts can be gained. SeaFunc aims to be the premiere group in the Seattle region for advanced programming language paradgims. If you think there must be more to life than C++, Java, and C#, please join us! |

Hops and Chops
Hops and Chops
6:30pm 8:30p, every Thursday
Spitfire -- 2219 4th Ave Seattle, WA 98121
Startup junkies, networkers, folks interested in learning new things and meeting new people, activists, and fun people!
Here's the gist:
o We were inspired by a fantastic recurring Portland happy hour event called Beer and Blog semi-coordinated by Silicon Florist & others.
o We liked that it's recurring and in a set-location and you can just put it on your calendar, and there will always be a few folks to catch up with.
o Folks who start companies are frequently inundated with coffee/lunch requests. This gives you a way to aggregate them and make intros/network in real-time.
Idea is that maybe we bring in speakers from time to time. Maybe tech-related, or maybe just cool/fun to help you learn something new/meet someone new.
Sign up for our Hops and Chops Twitter or follow the Hops and Chops RSS feed. Organized by Hops and Chops -- www.hopsandchops.com |

Wireless - HackNight for Seattle Wireless
Wireless - HackNight for Seattle Wireless
Wednesdays 7pm 10pm
1605 Boylston Ave, Seattle
seattlewireless.net Hack Night is a weekly meeting held by Seattle Wireless. We now meet at Metrix at 1605 Boylston Ave at Pine around 7:00 PM. Always check the EventCalendar to confirm that we are planning to meet. This is a generally a work meeting. The purpose is to get together, communicate, relate problems, and actively work out technical issues that directly relate to building out the SeattleWireless network. We also work on problems encountered by individual node operators. Demos of software or hardware are also done on occasion. In the process, we all learn about things we didn't know before which is certainly in the spirit of Seattle Wireless. If you think Seattle Wireless is cool and are interested in setting up a node, stopping by HackNight is a great way to meet the other people involved and figure out how to get started. |

Hops and Chops
Hops and Chops
6:30pm 8:30p, every Thursday
Spitfire -- 2219 4th Ave Seattle, WA 98121
Startup junkies, networkers, folks interested in learning new things and meeting new people, activists, and fun people!
Here's the gist:
o We were inspired by a fantastic recurring Portland happy hour event called Beer and Blog semi-coordinated by Silicon Florist & others.
o We liked that it's recurring and in a set-location and you can just put it on your calendar, and there will always be a few folks to catch up with.
o Folks who start companies are frequently inundated with coffee/lunch requests. This gives you a way to aggregate them and make intros/network in real-time.
Idea is that maybe we bring in speakers from time to time. Maybe tech-related, or maybe just cool/fun to help you learn something new/meet someone new.
Sign up for our Hops and Chops Twitter or follow the Hops and Chops RSS feed. Organized by Hops and Chops -- www.hopsandchops.com |
