Do you have something compelling, thought provoking or an interesting Agile experience to contribute at Agile 2009 in Chicago, USA? Now is the time to act and...
If you're not sure whether your idea for Agile 2009 is compelling, thought-provoking or interesting enough, come to Agile Open Northwest this week and try it...
I just want to second what a great conference Agile Open NW is. Inexpensive, local, and the Open Space format always leads to great sessions. I'm looking...
Two, two, two meetings in one month. In one week actually. Check out calagator.org for links to descriptions of the XPDX & APLN- PDX meetings coming up this...
Don't forget to come to CubeSpace for the XPDX meeting this Wednesday. Elisabeth Hendrickson, of testobsessed.com and author of Art of Agile Development...
I hadn't been to an XPDX meeting in a few years but really enjoyed the presentation and discussion at last night's talk by Elisabeth on Acceptance Test Driven...
Yes, I enjoyed the presentation too. Great turn-out! Unfortunately the videos I took ended up with very poor sound quality, so I won't uploading them. Not too...
I'd be interested in facilitating a session on ping-pong pairing. I'm envisioning something where every pair would start off on a simple enough problem, and...
I like it. The whole area of how to keep brain cells activated during pairing is ripe for creative ideas and this one looks like a good place to experiment. ...
Promiscuous Ping-Pong Pairing? (In my mind's eye, I can see Arlo bouncing up and down like a second-grader on too many espressos who knows the answer...) I...
Hello XPDX-ers and APLN-PDX-ers, You're invited to the 8th Annual Retrospective Facilitators Gathering scheduled for May 11-15 at Boulder Mountain Lodge in...
Hi all, This is a reminder of the XPDX Pub Lunch this afternoon starting at 1 pm at McMenamins on Broadway. Here's the calagator link for more info: ...
I would argue that if we have enough time, we could pick any language that "most" people are familiar with and by the end of the session, everyone would...
... I agree, but I question whether ~60 minutes is enough time. My suggestions were intended to minimize the amount of time spent dealing with new languages,...
I wonder who's in the XPDX and also on twitter. I know John Wilger, Arlo, Jim, Rebecca, me and a few others. I'm DianaOfPortland if you want to follow. Then I...
(My, I'm loquacious this morning.) After being sold out for a month, we've had a seat open up in the "Secrets of Agile Teamwork: Beyond Technical Skills"...
It's BeyondAgile: *people* making software that *works* The kick-off event of the brand-new BeyondAgile is happening in a few days: "Agile Smackdown!" ...
Great. It looks like there's some interest then. :) I'd like to hear about other pairing patterns too. And I'd rather be coding in a more expressive language...
What is"enough time" depends on the language. Over the course of a day, I got to be moderately proficient in Python just by pairing with others who knew a bit...
... Actually, I think language competency variations would offer a nice simulation of the latent competency variations that exist between people even in the...
I'm pretty certain that pairing will be new to a certain fraction of the group. So some time needs to be allotted to explaining how PPP works. What do the more...
Just FYI, the CHIFOO meetings cost $5, unless you are a member of CHIFOO ($20/year)..the CHIFOO meetings and Diana's talk, I am sure, are well worth it, but...
