Last night saw the second meeting of eXtreme Tayside<\/a>. Interestingly, and this is not an uncommon pattern with user groups, not one of the folks who attended the first meeting (late November 2005) were at this meeting! <\/p>\n

It was held at Dundee University’s new Queen Mother building<\/a>. More information about the building can be found here<\/a>. We were lucky enough to get a tour of the building which was rather interesting despite the fact that the original architect used the name “pod” to refer to the building’s various sections\/pieces. The design appeared rather original and despite the lack of sun-blinds, offered some excellent features. As an aside, it also provides a home for dmag<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anyway, we discussed a number of things, possible locations, venues, session topics, etc. Each person introduced themselves and told us a little bit about what they did and provided some insight into how they became interested in ‘agile’. <\/p>\n

One thing that did come out during the introductions was the fact that test-driven development<\/a><\/strong> and continuous integration<\/a><\/strong> are rather popular. Gary <\/a>mentioned that his firm use the notion of a “broken trophy” that gets given to the person who breaks the build – an interesting phrase that caught the attention of most of us. Naturally this reminded me of Dr. Neil Roodyn’s red screen\/green screen that he demonstrated <\/a>to Scottish Developers during a July 2005 presentation.<\/p>\n

Given the reaction it got, I can see broken trophy entering the eXtreme Tayside<\/a> vocabulary!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
