  • TestFirst?
  • Management Patterns

  • Wiki
  • Cindy
  • JUnit
  • Anecdote
  • WebServices
  • OpenSource?
  • Mock
  • Metaphor

Other game ideas

  • Murder Mystery (Uncle Bob killed RUP in the server room with the release token)
  • Treasure Hunt (blue index cards containing clues, as per the Anika Rice UK TV series)
  • "Where's Kent" fantasy track. You get to pick the sessions some luminary will visit during the day.
  • Consquences


Would have been a lot more satifying if SteveFraser? hadn't won. Too true.
Note the main concept for all the games is to have prize giving in the Bar in the evenings. The bar being a great melting pot for ideas in the GreatLondonTradition.


Can't believe that the list hasn't been updated yet to include mirto... and what was the word that Steve won on? <Pete Clark>


I wonder what would happen if we locked KentBeck, WardCunningham, RonJeffries?, UncleBob?, GradyBooch?, IvarJacobson? and JimRumbaugh? in the big brother house and set them daily tasks. Maybe this could be sold to DrDobbsTechnetcast?... ;-) They could partition the house into the "agile side" and the "high ceremony side".

Yeah, but they'd all claim to be agile!

Perhaps we could partition them based on whether they are predominantly selling "products" or "services". The product sellers would get my vote every time. (Vote for eviction that is.) --DafyddRees
