Reflecting on #be1st Adelaide. Hopefully the start of a movement, that will continue… cc:@1stConf #1stconf
Wore my @up_banking t-shirt today, obtained from the @bendigobank folks. So pleased that they saw fit to help us kick start this! Thanks Terry Meissner, Scott Ross and co.
Also invaluable is support from @Flinders & @kcampbell67, helping with the venue at @TonsleySA, AV and heaps more. Plus the support of the Adelaide Agile Community, all who participated, the volunteers, catering, and those who spoke and ran workshop sessions.
Special mention is due to the 2 Franks, @frankvass & @OKforanITguy (Flinders), who drove things along in the weeks leading up to the event. Frank B, even took me on a tour of the Adelaide Hills, on Saturday!
Thanks to all the speakers and facilitators: @jemolesky @StephBySouth @brown_note @frankvass Chetan @njackway @CultureMagic @samanattarian @ClifforddDavid @morespace4light @weisian Ian Weiss @CassSpong @petecohen @johnalanflynn Yohan de Silva & @nxdnz!
Thanks @brown_note for being around, and it's always good to be able to bend @nxdnz's ear and get his advice. Great thanks to my colleague @LisaCJacob! She is a rock of organisation, whose input I deeply appreciate 👍.
Next, it's #1stConf in Melbourne, 28/2 & 1/3. Super excited to have @lightling (and more) coming. Check it out, submit (until 2 Dec) & register! 1stConf.com

This thread has some observations from the 10th birthday of the Melbourne Agile and Scrum User Group meetup, that was held last Sat at @commoncode (hi @DarylAntony). meetup.com/scrum-12/event…
Earlier in the year, I noticed that the group was almost 10, so I said to @brown_note & @kearnsey that we should do something special. With a refreshing lack of red tape, @DarylAntony let us use his offices as the venue…and we were cooking.
Craig came up with the idea for the schedule, inviting people who had led a meetup at one point in its history, to do a 10 min talk. Roughly with the theme, "What I talked about in 20xx, and he's what I know about it now." The brief was interpreted widely!

Here's a thread with a few observations about 10 years of the Melbourne Agile and Scrum User Group (@MelbAgile), which is this month. I'll do another thread about the (all day) meetup we had yesterday to celebrate/reflect on the last and next 10 years.
.@kearnsey started the group in 2008 (by his own admission, possibly for the wrong reason!) First meetup of the Scrum User Group, was 27 Nov 08. meetup.com/scrum-12/event…. From the 37 people that RSVP'd "Yes", he was the only one yesterday, at the 1st meetup.
Martin's burgeoning family, meant that he stepped away. Cadence improving when @GeoffBurns and @brown_note picked up the mantle in 2010/11. I had returned to Mel in mid-2011, having been involved in Agile Oxford & Oxtremists, (hi @nespera) and London (@lsug Hi @geoffcwatts et al)

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether

Up next in this #SoCIA18 track is Sheri Wells-Jensen with "Things you didn't see because you were looking: Blind aliens, science and inter- species miscommunication.” I'm not sure what this is about but I'm excited to find out.
Speaker - who is visually impaired, which is relevant given the talk title, and obvious to us here in the room - starts by noting that her introduction name/affiliation/title slide could be full of lies and nobody would notice.
But we have assumptions about this slide starting off a talk. We look for it, and compare against it.

Today is the anniversary of the start of Operation Polo, an act that ensured Hyderabad would not end up as another Kashmir in India.
The police action that integrated Hyderabad with India, bought an end to the Nizam's rule started on this date in 1948.
The Nizam of Hyderabad then the world's richest man, had refused to sign the Instrument of Accession in 1948.
