CITCON Melbourne is tomorrow!

Filed under: citcon — Eric Lefevre @ 6:40 pm

The Conference on Continuous Integration & Testing, Asia edition, is tomorrow! I wish I could be there, but the plane ticket is unhelpfully expensive :-(

Well, I’ll have to make up by going to CITCON Amsterdam in October! Who’s joining me?

CruiseControl is still the bigger player; Hudson is growing

Filed under: citcon, hudson — Eric Lefevre @ 11:05 am

I thought it’d be interesting to look at some download statistics for Hudson and CruiseControl, probably the 2 OpenSource CI tools with the most mindshare currently.

Want to know more about CruiseControl, Hudson, and other CI tools? Meet the creators, contributers and users at the next CITCON conference in Melbourne, June 27th & 28th. Cannot make it to Melbourne? Then CITCON Amsterdam, October 3 & 4 is for you (I know I‘ll be there). Or CITCON Minneapolis, April 17 & 18, 2009.

XP Day Paris 2008 (warning: as of March 22nd, the site still states the wrong date) was planned for May 12 & 13, but the organizers had to advance it by a week to May 5 & 6. It sounds unlikely, but I got the news (twice) directly from the source.

AgileOpen - Should Agilists Regroup?

Filed under: agile, conferences — Eric Lefevre @ 3:05 pm

At AgileOpen, A session I suggested was particularly lively: Should Agilists Regroup?
A couple of weeks ago, I had listened to the Naked Agilists podcast, where Brian Marick had expressed his view that the Agile population had been diluted in the Conservative group of the IT world.
My goal in this discussion was to see if this vision was shared by others, and if yes, what can be done about it.

Join the presenters at Agile 2008

Filed under: agile, agile2008 — Eric Lefevre @ 12:39 am

Agile 2008Things are starting to take shape for Agile 2008. Submissions are starting to come in. We are at 10 for the Breaking Acts stage, which is pretty good at this point.

Considering that the deadline is February 25th, now is a good time to submit your own proposal. If you feel you might have new, or counter-intuitive ideas to share, consider submitting to the Breaking Acts stage. Many other categories also await your topics.

While you’re at it, read Rachel Davies telling the story of the Agile 2008 conference. Also, check out the video of Grigori that explains how to use the submission system.

BarCampParis15: Tools 2.0

Filed under: conferences, gwt, openspace — Eric Lefevre @ 10:56 am

Logo

I have long wanted to attend a BarCamp but it’s not easy to get yourself to attend a conference on a Saturday after a whole week of work. I was also turned off by an impression that the crowd was interested in creating communities on the web, or micro-credit. Worthwhile themes, to be sure, but not currently part of my interests.

This time, what made the difference was that it was organized by Sun France. Also, it was a chance to catch up with Jean-Laurent.

Valtech Days: Reflecting on our Open Space Technology event

Filed under: conferences, facilitation, openspace, valtech — Eric Lefevre @ 2:04 pm

I have participated at a few Open Space events, and facilitated some, but the crowd never exceeded 60. So I was a bit apprehensive, when it appeared that the Open Space Technology part at Valtech Days Paris 2007 would gather more than 150 participants. Here are some things we did and lessons we learned.
