| <p>We are excited to announce the date for the Global Day of Coderetreat 2016!</p> | ||
| <p>This year GDCR will happen on <strong>Saturday, October 22nd</strong>!</p> | ||
| <p>Thousands of developers all around the globe will get together on the same day to improve skills, share knowledge, practice together and generally have great time in a safe and fun environment.</p> | ||
| <p>Last year, we had around 150 Coderetreats and 2,000 participants all over the globe joining us for the Global Day of Coderetreat. This year we hope to have even more!</p> | ||
| <p>What is a coderetreat? Coderetreat is a day-long, intensive practice event focusing on the fundamentals of software development and design. The coderetreat format has proven itself to be a highly effective means of skill improvement by providing | ||
| developers the opportunity to take part in focused practice away from the pressures of 'getting things done.' For more information, check out the <a href="http://gdcr.coderetreat.org/" target="_blank">GDCR website</a>.</p> | ||
| <p>GDCR 2016 Edition will be brought to you by hundreds of passionate local facilitators worldwide and a team of global coordinators, including <a href="https://twitter.com/jthurne" target="_blank">Jim Hurne</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/alinpandichi" | ||
| target="_blank">Alin Pandichi</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/rradczewski" target="_blank">Raimo Radczewski</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/srbiv" target="_blank">Stafford Brooke</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/ikusalic" target="_blank">Ivan Kusalic</a>.</p> | ||
| <p>Over the next couple of weeks, we will have more information about taking part in Global Day of Coderetreat 2016. Stay tuned by following <a href="https://twitter.com/coderetreat" target="_blank">@coderetreat</a> and the <a href="https://twitter.com/search/?q=%23gdcr16" | ||
| target="_blank">#gdcr16 hashtag</a> on Twitter.</p> | ||
| <p>Hope you are as excited as we are and are looking forward to an amazing event! <strong>Don't forget</strong> to add October 22nd to your calendars and spread the word.</p> | ||
| <p>May the Cells be with you!</p> | ||

| <p>The <strong>Saturday, October 22nd</strong> is getting closer and with it the Global Day of Coderetreat 2016. It's now the time to consider how you'll participate in the event. Here are the possibilities:<br> <br> You can <strong>participate</strong> in a local coderetreat and freeing yourself to experiment and try new techniques, learning from each other, writing the best code you can by focusing on some basic principles of well-written code and challenging many of our everyday assumption. | ||
| Interested? Information about local events will be published on the <a href="http://gdcr.coderetreat.org/" target="_blank">GDCR Website</a> and the <a href="http://coderetreat.org/events/event/listByType?type=gdcr16" target="_self">coderetreat.org events section</a>.<br> <br> You want to help others enjoy GDCR and raise the bar in our industry? You should organize a local event.<br> <br> You can <strong>host</strong> a coderetreat of your own in your city. Hosts handle all of the logistics of organizing, finding | ||
| a local sponsor, running a coderetreat and creating an atmosphere of fun and collaboration. Don't worry if you haven't hosted a coderetreat yet. We are here to support you and we will provide you many resources to help you organize an amazing | ||
| event. If you are interested in hosting a coderetreat in your city for GDCR 2016, please submit <a href="http://goo.gl/forms/Px0ytk6ZS7ZQAdew1" target="_blank">this form</a> and we will add you to the facilitator/host mailing lists where you | ||
| can get help from other facilitators and hosts from around the world.<br> <br> Every coderetreat needs a <strong>facilitator</strong> as well. Facilitators guide participants through the exercises and lead the retrospectives. Don't worry if | ||
| you haven't facilitated a coderetreat yet. We are here to support you! We will provide you with resources and online training sessions. If you are interested in facilitating a coderetreat event in your city for GDCR 2016, please submit | ||
| <a href="http://goo.gl/forms/Px0ytk6ZS7ZQAdew1" target="_blank">this form</a> and we will add you to the facilitator/host mailing lists where you can get help from other facilitators and hosts from around the world.<br> <br> We are currently | ||

| <p>Below is a handout that was given at the beginning of the day. A second handout was given just after lunch. Together they define an exercise designed to require teams to work out and demonstrate these skills:</p> | ||
| <ol> | ||
| <li>Self organization of teams when given full reign (and full responsibility).</li> | ||
| <li>How to work with what you're given, even when extremely sparse.</li> | ||
| <li>How to deliver <em>iteratively (MVP)</em>.</li> | ||
| <li>How to keep parts of the solution decoupled from one another.</li> | ||
| </ol> | ||
| <p><Handout #1 - Morning session></p> | ||
| <p class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><b>Welcome to the BBC - Part I</b></p> | ||
| <p class="p3">Welcome to the BBC - The “Bouncy Ball Company”. You have been selected to join the newly formed Super Hot Automation Facilitation Team, SHAFT for short.</p> | ||
| <p class="p3">The focus of this team is to outcompete <em>every other manufacturer</em> by building software that will automate every step in the manufacture of most any sort of ball, starting with the most popular product here in the northeast; the football | ||
| (American NFL football).</p> | ||
| <p class="p3">Manufacturing overview reference: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.madehow.com/Volume-3/Football.html">http://www.madehow.com/Volume-3/Football.html</a></p> | ||
| <p class="p3">For the bill of materials and manufacturing steps, see the link above:</p> | ||
| <p class="p3">Forms teams, possibly based on the stages of the manufacturing process, and be sure to remain agile. More news later.</p> | ||
| <p class="p3">The first half of the day (pre-lunch) will be devoted to <span class="s1"><b><i>iterating</i></b></span> and improving the process with at least three deliveries, each accompanied by a customer review and feedback.</p> | ||
| <p><end Handout #1 - Morning session></p> | ||
| <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>LUNCH</strong></p> | ||
| <p><Handout #2 - Afternoon session></p> | ||
| <p class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><b>Welcome to the BBC - Part II</b></p> | ||
| <p class="p2">Start manufacturing soccer balls. The requirement is to apply all the learning that went into making footballs to now making soccer balls, maximizing the automation by maximizing parameterization, and minimizing waste of the raw materials.</p> | ||
| <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Manufacturing overview reference: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.madehow.com/Volume-5/Soccer-Ball.html"><span class="s2">http://www.madehow.com/Volume-5/Soccer-Ball.html</span></a> | ||
| </span> | ||
| </p> | ||
| <p class="p3">As you may have surmised by now, the <i>real</i> exercise is about teamwork, both within teams and <i>across</i> teams, and <i>rapidly</i> finding out what works for the people who show up.</p> | ||
| <p><end Handout #2 - Afternoon session></p> | ||
| <p>Here's what happened:</p> | ||
| <p>The morning was predictably defined by lots of questions -<br> -- What constitutes "acceptance"?.<br> -- How will we divide the work up?"<br> -- How will me track progress?</p> | ||
| <p>The answers were much simpler than attendees imagined:<br> -- Ask the customer what is acceptable, and a rank-ordered list of what comes first, second, etc.<br> -- Organization is entirely up to the team(s).<br> -- Deliver working (acceptable) | ||
| software. | ||
| </p> | ||
| <p>The afternoon session raised the bar on agility at both the testing and implementation levels:</p> | ||
| <ul> | ||
| <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Similarities</span>: Both balls have an inner bladder, are inflated with a given quantity of air, required a valve to inflate the bladder, and require a stitched-together outer skin of n faces which | ||
| has to be printed on (e.g. the logo, serial #, etc.)</li> | ||
| <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Differences</span>: The specification (diameter, width, length, lacing or not, number of outer layer faces, shapes of the faces, number of different face shapes, weight, etc.) varied.</li> | ||
| </ul> | ||
| <p>The outcomes I was most pleased with were that 18 peoples who do not work together, all of who met at this monthly workshop ...</p> | ||
| <ul> | ||
| <li>collaborated rather than competing,</li> | ||
| <li>natural leaders emerged quickly and at different points during the day,</li> | ||
| <li><em>everyone</em> participated and remained engaged for the entire day.</li> | ||
| </ul> | ||
| </div> | ||
