Last night I went to a meeting of
Extreme Tayside, held at
Dundee University department of applied computing. The meeting was almost the inaugural meeting (there had been a previous meeting but we decided to cover most of the ground again, as there had been a long and unforeseen gap between that meeting and this) so much of the time was spent discussing what we wanted out of the group and how we were going to proceed.
There was time however, for an interesting demonstration of a borehole measuring application from
GeoMEM Limited and also a tour of the new Queen Mother building at the department. All and all a very enjoyable evening and I look forward to the future meetings.
There was a good mix of people there from industry and accademia, both under graduate and post graduate students and a member of the teaching staff (
Dr. Janet Hughes who is a
ScrumMaster herself). One of the highlights of the night was finding out that the department is teaching C# and SCRUM - how cool is that?!
