Summary: Theme: Agile Community Events<br> <a href="http://agilecoffee.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/onthebeach_DrDave-n-Vic.jpg"></a>Dr. Dave (<a href="https://twitter.com/DrCorneliusInfo" target="_blank">@DrCorneliusInfo</a>) joins Vic (<a href="https://twitter.com/AgileCoffee" target="_blank">@AgileCoffee</a>) for a beautiful morning on Huntington Beach discussing all manner of Agile community events: Agile Opens (and other open space uses), coaching retreats and camps, lean coffees, hackathons. Dave talks about the 5Saturdays model, and we tell how to find, get involved and host these activities.<br> This is one of my favorite episodes. In addition to the excellent scenery and the superb company, I very much enjoy talking about community events. Not only do I believe that community is important and fulfilling, but I have a penchant for organizing these activities.<br> For more information<br> Open Space:<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.openspaceworld.com/brief_history.htm" target="_blank">History of Open Space</a><br> * Harrison Owen’s <a href="http://www.openspaceworld.com/users_guide.htm" target="_blank">Guide to Open Space Technologies</a><br> <br> Agile Opens:<br> <br> * <a href="http://agileopencalifornia.com/southern_ca.html" target="_blank">Agile Open Southern California</a> – Sept 10-11, 2015<br> * <a href="http://agileopencalifornia.com/northern_ca.html" target="_blank">Agile Open Northern California</a> – Oct 9-10, 2015<br> * <a href="http://agileopennorthwest.org/" target="_blank">Agile Open Northwest</a><br> <br> Agile Coach Camps:<br> <br> * <a href="http://agilecoachcamp.org/" target="_blank">AgileCoachCamp.org</a><br> * <a href="http://agilelib.net/?event=accuswest15" target="_blank">Agile Coach Camp US West 2015</a><br> <br> <a href="https://www.scrumalliance.org/courses-events/events/coaches-retreats/2015/scrum-coaching-retreat-seattle-washington" target="_blank">Scrum Coaching Retreat Seattle 2015</a><br> <a href="http://leancoffee.org/" target="_blank">LeanCoffee.org</a> – includes listing of cities with lean coffees<br> <a href="http://5saturdays.org/" target="_blank">5Saturdays.org</a> – Dr.Dave’s community learning initiative to bring Scrum and other skills into local high schools<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.alice.org/index.php" target="_blank">ALICE</a> – educational software that teaches computer programming in a 3D environment<br> <br> <a href="https://scrumdaysandiego.com/" target="_blank">Scrum Day San Diego</a> and <a href="http://scrumdayoc.com/" target="_blank">Scrum Day Orange County</a> (Vic presented at both in each of their first years)<br> various others:<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.playcamp.net/" target="_blank">Play Camp</a> (and Luke Hohmann’s other ventures: <a href="http://www.innovationgames.com/" target="_blank">Innovation Games</a> and <a href="http://conteneo.co/community/" target="_blank">Conteneo</a>)<br> * <a href="https://play4agile.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Play4Agile</a><br> * <a href="http://agilegamesnewengland.org/" target="_blank">AgileGames</a> (New England)<br> * DevOps<br> * <a href="http://www.ainconference.org/" target="_blank">AIN World Conference</a> (Montréal, Sept 24-27, 2015 – organized by the <a href="http://www.appliedimprov.com/" target="_blank">AI Network</a>)<br> * <a href="http://www.lego.com/en-us/seriousplay/" target="_blank">Lego Serious Play</a> (might have to search a bit to see if conferences are planned)<br> <br> Finally, Vic ran a couple of Hackathons in the workplace…<br> – – – –<br> Coming up in episode 31 – I hold a lean coffee at a 5Saturdays event with a cast of new voices.<br> Further ahead in episode 32 – interviews from the 2nd annual Scrum Day San Diego.<br> <br>
