The drive to Des Moines is painful, especially after a week of vacation. <\/p>\n

Last week, as you can see I was in Baltimore to visit my sister. The rest of the week was spent at Agile 2007 in Washington, DC. It was another great conference. I went to the conference knowing that there was no space for me to volunteer or for admission as attendee. This was confirmed when I emailed the volunteer chair. Since everything was lined, but I decided to go to DC anyway.<\/p>\n

Monday is always a slow day at the conference, and I had some work to do so I spent most of the day in my hotel room. Even though I was not a conference attendee I could partake in the ad hoc evening events (where you really learn what’s going on). On my way to the conference hotel I ran into the volunteer chair. After brief hellos, there was a space available and I was in the conference. My patience was rewarded!<\/p>\n

Over the next three days I attended a few sessions, but spent most of my time participating in the Conference-within-a-conference aka CWAC. It is the Open Space<\/a> part of the conference. The best discussions from sessions, late-night ramblings, and side topics from other Open Space discussions.<\/p>\n

Again, similar to last year. I have a strong desire to leave my current position and totally nerd-out in a new Agile position. But what it really means is that I need to get back in to flexing my technical skills. So stay tuned to this space and hopefully I can do a better job or getting my skills back. (Unlike the post from last year<\/a>).<\/p>\n
