+ convincing and up-to-date material for those annoying client |
+ interviews.... If you don't work for ThoughtWorks, it's a |
+ good way to try and get hired. (If you do work for ThoughtWorks, |
+ asking around for job opportunities is deeply frowned upon!) |
+ |
+ Format is informal, round-the-table natter. With the emphasis on |
+ no stress, chilled (but no cannabis, please). It's like ExtremeTuesdayClub |
+ |
+ Success is indicated by new inspiration and cross-fertilisation |
+ ('What? You've already coded that?'; 'I had the same idea in |
+ the bath last night!', etc.). |
+ |
+ Acceptable subjects of discussion are not limited to XP: |
+ |
+ Open Source; XML-based architectures; J2EE/EJB/.NET; Agile/ |
+ Continuous Integration; UML; Linux; vi/emacs/IntelliJ; |
+ my swanky Sharp Zaurus; your swanky iPAQ; MacOs X; EAI and |
+ B2B; P2P; Intellectual Property; DMCA; GPL; Asynchronous |
+ and Declarative architectures; Slashdot/SourceForge/ |
+ Freshmeat/Kuro5hin/Advogato, my weblog's hotter than |
+ yours; my dot-com bombed bigger than yours, etc., etc. |
+ |
+ When and Where:- |
+ |
+ Thursdays from noon, upstairs in the Artillery Arms |
+ (go up Moorgate towards Finch's, keep walking to the cemetery |
+ past the artillery/barracks entrance, walk through the cemetery |
+ and it's right there). The appropriately-named 'AA' pub serves |
+ fine Fuller's ales and nice grub, and upstairs is spacious, |
+ bright and airy. Soft drinks and/or single pints are |
+ acceptable, given the pressures of work. |
