Greetings, CITCONers from Europe and beyond! We need some help reaching companies who would be interested in sponsoring CITCON Amsterdam 2008. Although we have...
Greetings CITCONers, As Eric mentioned in his previous email, we are getting down to the wire for finding sponsors for CITCON Amsterdam. As usual, we have...
If we have to, how much would it cost per participant? S ... Steve Freeman http://www.mockobjects.com Winner of the Agile Alliance Gordon Pask award 2006...
Don't ignore the power of free. It may hurt :-) Right now, with a zero dollar tag, CITCON gathers 250 people. I would like to assess, using free/payware...
That was a good suggestion. On the sponsor page we now have a link to a form where people can contact us if they are interested in sponsoring. Sponsor page: ...
Hi all, This appears to be the best of the groups to place this question. Tell me if there is a better one and I'll move on. We are an Agile/XP house and we...
Luke, This scenario, where you have a myriad of configuration combinations to test, cries out for use of VMs. I'd spend more time trying to figure out how to...

Hi, I'm will Bill on this one. My gut feeling is that trying to change things like service packs will be really hard. How do you handle reboots, for example?...

Hiya Bill, I do understand what you mean but I doubt we'll get the VMs to work properly. We've tried a couple of different language VMs and both seem to have...
Hiya Julian, Not quite as hard as you might imagine. Did some looking and there is a Windows Update Agent API that lets me install/uninstall updates. Have to...
I'll echo Bill's comments, except for the VM's being slow... VM's being slow is typically because you are using underpowered hardware and splitting them too...
What VMWare product/release are you using? And using virtual disk or physical disk? My experience even with vmware esx server and virtual disk is that I/O just...
Hi Luke, interesting question. I have been thinking of integrating the OS build in the continuous build cycle. Are you changing the language and the DPI from...
Exactly. Physical disk approaches do seem to help. We do a good deal of testing on VMs. Usually we can get functional testing done there just fine. The tool...
I wonder if there is a way to boot raw iron into different images over the network, sort of like many cyber-cafes work in Europe? My experience also shows that...
... I can at least tell you that this is possible. The QA team I worked in at AOL had a room full of desktop machines that you could configure to order. I...
Another approach would be http://etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot This would overcome the standard PXE boot problem for windows. And would not require a disk wipe....
Another day some more information. I'm tending more in the direction of VMs now. Especially now that I have more of an understanding of the capability of the...
I'm wondering if VDI or Ghost will keep your patch level under control. If you are booting these vm's and they do autoupdate, strange things might happen. You...
Patrick, This looks promising. Integrating this with tools like CI tools like Cruise/TeamCity maybe the way to go. May even compete favorably with VMware ESX,...
I have been to 2 CITCONs and I hope it can continue uninterrupted. I think vendors should be welcomed, but not required to pull it off. Most folks who come can...
I wanted to forward this invitation to the Simple Design and Testing conference from Naresh Jain. SDT Conf is very similar to CITCON and wold probably appeal...
On Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 10:46 AM, Jerome Lacoste ... Jerome and fellow CITCON Amsterdam registrants, We are pushing ahead with CITCON Amsterdam and plan to...
As Paul mentioned we are looking for suggestions for spaces for CITCON Amsterdam. To help explain our facilities requirements here is the schedule we have...
I wanted to let people know that we have secured space for CITCON Amsterdam at the IBM Headquarters. http://is.gd/2gfx We will be publishing more information...
Hi everyone, I have started a new blog aggregator that syndicates blog related to CITCON, continuous integration and tests. It takes blogs from CITCON...
