PuppetConf 2014 - Part 1
It has been one week since our attendance at this years PuppetConf and we have just now caught up on all the great talks that were given and the projects demonstrated over the 3 day period. Here's our summary of the event (split into 3 parts), hopefully you will find as much inspiration in the content as we have.
Programme Management, making Agile scale
A lot of us were lucky enough to attend NDC London this year, we even sponsored one of the food stalls. I often see one or more real themes coming from talks at conferences. At NDC London I saw three talks around scaling Agile. Indeed Dan North's (@tastapod) talk was called exactly that. It is a topic OpenTable is trying to make happen. We are about 100 engineers on three continents which is a lot of teams working together.
NDC Oslo
Three OpenTable heroes took to Norway last week to attend NDC Oslo. For two of us it was our first major conference and for one, Paul Stack, he had to speak.
