Reficio™ - Reestablish your software!

Hackergarten coding session at centeractive!

I am pleased to invite you to the first Hackergarten session that will be held at centeractive (Worbstrasse 170, Guemligen) on Friday – 23rd of November!

Hackergarten is a craftmen’s workshop, classroom, a laboratory, a social circle, a writing group, a playground, and an artist’s studio. Our goal is to create something that others can use; whether it be working software, improved documentation, or better educational materials. Our intent is to end each meeting with a patch or similar contribution submitted to an open and public project. Membership is open to anyone willing to contribution their time.

Our plan is to begin at 17.30 and have a lot of fun coding together – in pairs or bigger groups – eating pizza and drinking beer right from the start :)

What will we work on?

  • Hamlet D’Arcy who is a groovy commiter, mentor and expert working at the canoo ag in Basel will join us so we’re gonna have a lot of Groovy stuff to work on during the session.
  • Tom Bujok will prepare some topics on the soap-ws project that he is the leader of, so if you want to touch the void and play with some Web-Services you simply cannot miss out on this!
  • Or we can pick up any other topic and simply work on it a bit…

Please invite your friends (developers) – everybody is invited. By the way, every participant will get a free Retrospective Log Analyzer license.

Please let me know if you come and with how many people – we have to know how many people we buy beer for :) – simply contact me on LinkedIn.

EDIT: Andres Almiray (the Griffon project lead and the Java Champion) will join us, so expect some cool Griffon stuff coming up! Thanks Andres!

Speaking about blogs. I have noticed recently that there is one thing that I like more than blogging... it's configuring and tweaking my blog. And what I mean here is not playing with themes, images, fonts or styles. Don't get me wrong, I wanted my … [Continue reading]

UberConf – be ready to have your mind blown!

I hate blogging about conferences. I find it dull, unentertaining and worthless. Yet another blog entry about a few sessions that the person attended and some comments whether it was good or bad. I did it once following the "common" pattern and I … [Continue reading]
