A short time ago, I had a telephone conversation with Dominik Rose. He told me that now the agile.ruhr Camp 2015 he organizes along with Berthold Barth is no longer far away. In less than three weeks, it will actually be upon us!
“Agile” is something I rather like. After all, it is my conviction that you should always approach everything “ALO”. ALO being short for agile, lean and open.
Consequently, I am glad to hear that the organizational team of agile.ruhr Camp for the first time invites people to an “Anti-Conference” for agile procedures in the vicinity of projects and software development this year. On February, 21st and 22nd, the barcamp Unperfekthaus will take place in Essen.
Of course, I find it particularly satisfying that the InterFace AG is part of the event and supports the organizational team as an official sponsor.
The agile.ruhr Camp is for change and convictions. It aims at providing a modern platform for persons, organizations and enterprises where they can exchange experience and knowledge. Because knowledge is the only raw material that increases as you share it.
How to successfully make use of agile methods and tools? What is the potential of agile concepts and behaviour? How can we manage the necessary changes? And not only with software development!
And, of course, the classic pattern for a free anti-conference on agility is the “barcamp”, where, as opposed to a classic conference, you do without a restricting agenda and instead generate above average knowledge gain through honest discourse and open dialogue.
The agenda are decided upon by the attendants. Everyone thee-s and thou-s everyone else, you meet at eye-level and listening is more important than talking. This is the only way how participants can offer “their” sessions (on a topic of their choice) and thus become true participants.
Unfortunately, I cannot attend on February 13th and 14th. I want to visit a totally different “anti-conference” where I have been a regular guest for several years at the same time: the “Biike” in Westerland on Sylt. The “Biike” is just a tradition. Good friends use the time for their anti-conference.
Well, life is a chain of missed opportunities, isn’t it?
But perhaps one of my IF Blog readers can attend the unique agile.ruhr Camp. And then report on his own blog or on twitter?

As soon as I know the hashtag of agile.ruhr Camp 2015, I will give it to you her.
