scrum presentation
For this year’s BarCamp Salzburg I prepared a presentation on scrum, this agile process I fell in love with while I was in London. Lessons learned after I held the presentation? Examples first.

first githorde session
I didn’t mention githorde yet, it’s something we came up two weeks ago. The idea is pretty simple, a loosely group of developers picking up open source projects and developing new features. We want to jump from one project to the next every few weeks, just like every good barbarian horde would.
Today was the first session, only one and a half hour where Andrew and I met in IRC and did some work on feeddit which was released to open source just a few weeks ago. We achieved our targets (caching, new digg library and filtering by topics) and despite trouble with git (well, at least Andrew, me totally gits it!) we are very happy with our first session.
If you want to join the horde, register at the website and participate. You’ll get a message when the next session takes place.
Django Dash
I didn’t yet look into Django as it’s written in Python and now my now-favourite Ruby. But there’s a weekend-contest coming up: Django Dash. I had a hell lotta fun at the Railsrumble in September, despite a broken shoulder (still hurts every now and then). I guess I’ll take part in this dash, I still remember some Python from the old days and 48 hours is enough time to get into a new framework :-)
