Agile conferences in Sweden and Norway

Yes, this is just an echo post… but I found it so exciting that I just had to write about it. 

I’m a member of the Agile Sweden mailing list, and today an interesting electronic letter arrived. There’s going to be an agile conference in Stockholm in the beginning of June, called Agila Sverige. It’s inspired by the norwegian initiative Smidig 2007, which focused on lightning talks (a presentation being at most 10 minutes long) and open space discussions. It’s also super cheap, hopefully I can go.

I recommend you to watch one of the lightning talks from Smidig last year, given by the swedish Niclas Nilsson of factor10 on the meaning of words when you’re dealing with TDD/BDD.
