Global Code Retreat
A short summary of the day; starts early, around 8.30, there are 6 or
7 iterations of 45 minutes each, trying to solve Conway's Game of Life
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life). All iterations
are in pairs (one computer), and the language is chosen by the pair.
At the end of the 45 minutes you have to DELETE all your code, stand
up for a 5 minutes group retrospective (in which we ask uncomfortable
questions if no one speaks up), and then a 10 minute break to grab
some coffee and find a new partner for the next iteration. Each
iteration will have some additional rules (things like, no if
statements allowed, or applying 'tell don't ask', depending on the
groups and how we see fit).
Where: Wayra office (Sir John Rogersons Quay), Dublin
