Last week I attended Open Agile, a sub-event of eLiberatica 2009 conference.
It was the first Agile event in Romania and I consider it a great success.
I helped promoting the event through www.Lucrez.in/IT and I was also a speaker, talking about an Agile Startup (but more on this in an other post).
I was glad to see that from the first edition, the conference had great speakers:
Jurgen Appelo – The CIO of a Dutch IT company, a manager that I look up to, a great speaker and soon author.
Corey Haines – The Software Journeyman, a very nice guy whom I appreciate a lot as a programmer but most because he stopped working at corporations and started traveling and programming with others, teaching them not to write crappy code.
I also spent more time talking with two great professionals Lucian Parvu – PM @ Luxoft Romania and Razvan Gliga – IT Architect @ IBM Romania.
It was very good to see how uberVU used Agile in a talk given by Mihnea Giurgea and Mircea Pasoi.
The discussions were great, the audience was larger than I expected and I learned a lot of the importance of Agile development.
Kudos to Maria Diaconu for putting up such a great event.
