This talk was given to PSU students as an encouragement for them to get involved in free and open source software. Toward the end, we did a brainstorming session on the reasons why they didn&#8217;t contribute, and tried to come up with projects each person in the audience might be interested in learning more about<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.meetup.com\/PyLadies-PDX\/events\/101680052\/\">Command-line II<\/a>. I&#8217;m writing up my notes from this talk, hopefully to turn it into a real tutorial that others could copy. My goal this year is to give a tutorial every other week, and I&#8217;m hoping to have at least 10 lessons come out of that work. It seems like I need to give each lesson twice to really get the hang of it. Which means I aught to get out of this experience with 26 lessons&#8230; but trying to stay realistic about my time.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/selenamarie\/restores_ftw\">Restores FTW<\/a> at PDXPUG. This talk is about backups for PostgreSQL and how to get your teams to come up with restore plans that exercise databases as part of normal operations. I&#8217;m trying to switch talks about Backups to being talks about Restores. The next time I give this, I think I&#8217;ll change the order of the &#8220;restore patterns&#8221; to be at the start of the talk, and the discussion about planning for backups\/restores to the end. I plan to do a Mozilla brownbag that covers these topics and also goes through a live demo of backing up, restoring and testing PostgreSQL with the new 9.2 tools.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are a few of the talks I&#8217;ve given recently here in Portland.
