Smidig 2007 and vacation

Not long ago there was an agile (no: smidig) conference here in Norway, Oslo. The conference where really a great success. The success happened because of as I see it two things.
1. Active community already, with many people motivated for the topics in agile.
2. Use of Lightning talks and open space consept.

These elements created a very constructive environment and people shared experiences in a much larger scale than ordinary conferences.

Let us hope that more conferences will adopt these techniques to help people share knowledge!

On the issue of vacation: I'm leaving for Dublin and then backpacking in Thailand from the 7th of December and will be away untill January 1st.

Enjoy christmas!
