Event Details
With the launch of Visual Studio 2010 on 12th April we thought running an Open Spaces Coding day the following weekend would be a great way to get upto speed with this exiting new release.
Bring along a laptop and meetup with likeminded devlopers looking at understanding how to take advantage of some of the new features offerd by Visual Studio 2010 and version 4 of the .net framework.
Lunch is provided curtosy of Microsoft.
An Open Spaces Event
Open Space Technology is an approach for hosting meetings, conferences, corporate-style retreats and community summit events, focused on a specific and important purpose or task -- but beginning without any formal agenda, beyond the overall purpose or theme.
The approach is most distinctive for its initial lack of an agenda, which sets the stage for the meeting's participants to create the agenda for themselves, in the first 30-90 minutes of the meeting or event. Typically, an Open Space meeting will begin with short introductions by the facilitator. The facilitator introduces the purpose and explains the "self-organizing" process. Then the group creates the working agenda, as individuals post their issues in bulletin board style.
There are Four Principles and The One Law.
- Whoever comes are the right people.
- Whatever happens is the only thing that could have.
- When it starts, it starts.
- When it's over, it's over.
There also exists a tentative "law", usually referred to as the "Law of Two Feet" which reads as follows: If at any time during our time together you find yourself in any situation where you are neither learning nor contributing, use your two feet. Go to some other place where you may learn and contribute.
