Portland Show & Tell

Hello, Portland! Interested in open data, software, mapping, and transportation? We're meeting in Portland for the first time, with a showcase of bike- and transit- projects made by Portland's coolest coders.

The Association for Commuter Transportation (ACT) (http://actweb.org/) is providing us a meeting space in conjunction with the 2016 ACT Conference (https://www.actconf.org/). (You do not need to register for the conference in order to attend our meetup, but please do RSVP via this site.) We'll be in the Parlor Rm of the Hilton Portland (http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/oregon/hilton-portland-and-executive-tower-PDXPHHH/); on the same level as the Grand Ballroom (hit "B" in the elevators, or take the escalators all the way down).

Doors open at 6:00 with pizza courtesy of our sponsor, Arlington, VA's Mobility Lab (http://mobilitylab.org/). Presentations start at 6:30; we'll wrap up by 8:30. We invite folks to mingle afterwards until 9:00. Our speakers are:

• William Henderson (https://twitter.com/quicklywilliam) will show us how Ride Report (https://ride.report/) helps cyclists track and map their rides.

• Bryan Blanc (https://twitter.com/bryanpblanc) of Nelson\Nygaard (http://nelsonnygaard.com/) will discuss how crowdsourcing applications like ORcycle (http://www.pdx.edu/transportation-lab/orcycle) can support the future of transportation planning.

• Ryan Rzepecki of Social Bicycles (http://socialbicycles.com/) will give us a preview of the new Biketown (https://www.biketownpdx.com/) bike and the data being collected.

• Alex Bigazzi (http://alexbigazzi.com) will review his "SPEC (http://alexbigazzi.com/Spec/)" (Sensing Pollution Exposure by Community) project, mapping air quality along bike routes.

• Bibiana McHugh will share TriMet (http://trimet.org/)'s work on integration with shared-use mobility options; new OpenTripPlanner (http://docs.opentripplanner.org/en/latest/#opentripplanner) API; open geocoder; and more data in OpenStreetMap.

• Keith Billings and Nathan Upperman will show their prototype for a low-cost radio-controlled transit stop next-arrival display.

• Mario Guzman will show how he made PDX Transit (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pdx-transit-trimet-portland/id1010532756?mt=8), an iOS and Apple Watch app for Portland transit.

• Chris Smith (http://chrissmith.us/) will show how Transit Appliance (http://transitappliance.com/) works.

Looking forward to hanging out with Portland's bikenerds and transitnerds! Stay tuned to @techiesdc (https://twitter.com/techiesdc) for updates.
