We would love to hear from your experiences using Agile techniques - both good …

This meetup is for anyone interested in lisp programming in Auckland to share ideas, learn something about lisp, or hack code together. The name “lisp” includes Common Lisp, Clojure, Scheme, Emacs Lisp, and any other dialect of the lisp family of programming languages. But other topics that might be interesting to lisp hackers are also relevant. Meetups are friendly and quite informal, with social gatherings over a beer, as well as presentations around a topic. Usually they are held at Tangleb …

Here is the core of the original email that set the group up back in May 2011: I have been having conversations with a number of people over the last wee while about setting up an informal group to meet and share experiences / problems / challenges around adopting agile practices in general and scrum in particular (though I would stress this is not just a scrum group).

Thats what the Code Lounge is all about - we seek to get people to lend their lounges for at least six hours on a weekend (or other public holiday) to allow like minded developers to congregate and learn. Individual cells can be running concurrently, they can even cover the same topics and we encourage tools like Google Hangouts or Skype to allow others to participate. Its cosy. Its fun. Its an environment where pe …

What is a Lean Coffee? Essentially, a Lean Coffee is a group of people working together to learn about lean in an informal setting. It's like a mini-unconference where the participants decide on the schedule. The timeframe is typically one to two hours. The number of people is best between 6-8 but 4-10 works fine. Here's how it works. One person facilitates these actions. Step 1: Everybody writes down topics they'd like to discuss on stickies placing them in a column in the center of …

Quote>"What's that you say - perpetual motion is impossible? My, you're a difficult one to please. The electrons in the molecules of rock formations have been spinning steadily for millions of years without stopping - at what point will you agree that they are in perpetual motion? So, why don't electrons run out of energy and just slow down to a standstill?   Quantum Mechanics has shown that the universe is a seething cauldron of energy with particles popping into existence and then dropping out …
