This last weekend was the tenth annual Global Day(s) of Code Retreat, with over one hundred and fifty Code Retreat events running on either the 15th and 16th of November. Not having been to one before it was great to find there was an event being run by Canon Medical Research at their office in Edinburgh, so I signed up to head along.

The basic idea of the Code Retreat is to look at how we as…

Ein bisschen Code vom Code Retreat.

Gefühlt etwa 5 verschiedene Wege entwickelt Arabische Nummern in römische Nummern umzuwandeln.

Viel Nachgedacht, aber war wirklich hilfreich. Ne menge neuer Erfahrungen gesammelt. Ich glaube ich habe noch nie so schnell gecoded.

Here is a little Code from the Code retreat this weekend.

I think i figured out 5 ways to convert arabic to roman numbers.

I earned a lot of new experiences and skills. Coding together is very effective an kind a fun.

This time for 2 days. It'll be on May 30th and 31st from 9am to 5pm.

Here's the structure we will be practicing. Day 1 we will start with planning, and day 2 we will end with a short retrospective.

We can accommodate 2 more attendees if folks are interested! There's no cost to attend, and you must be interested in hanging out with people writing Clojure code for a good cause (supporting radically self-organizing companies).

Oh and meditation. In Chicago.

If you're interested in joining us, drop a line to [email protected] and we'll send you further info.

Yesterday was the Global Day of Code Retreat. In 150 cities across the world, software craftsmen gathered to practice, and learn with and from each other.

At this year's Latin American Agile conference in Lima, a peruvian organizer named Uzi mentioned the GDCR to me, asking me if anybody will host this event in Buenos Aires, Argentina (the city were I, and other fellow Cinchcasters, live).

I contacted Carlos Peix, from Kleer.la, an Agile coaching and training firm, and he kindly offered to host it at Kleer's office in Buenos Aires. On our side, Cinchcast sponsored by providing the food and drinks required by attendees to keep brains working for a full Saturday.

Carlos is a seasoned facilitator so he offered me to facilitate with his help, it was a great experience. Everybody had fun practicing TDD, XP and Object-oriented design in a playful environment, which led to interesting discussions.

During a break we had a chance to hangout with other groups in Mendoza (also Argentina) and Lima (Perú)

I'm looking forward for more of this activities, with Continuous Improvement in mind (eg. high attendance is hard on weekend events!)

Desde la semana pasada me encuentro viviendo en #SHMX han sido días muy interesantes; Aprendizaje, networking, buena comida y nuevas experiencias son parte de esto.
