  1. Today is #FroGSConf and I’m thinking I need to facilitate a session of career transforming insights. I love the open space format and how this particular crowd is so open to whatever is right. When exceptional people like Sanne Visser, Elizabeth Zagroba and Joep Schuurkes co-facilitate, I’m first in line to be included.

  2. Only a few more days until we get to do #FroGSconf again! And you can still join this free online open space. Anyone who wants to talk software and quality is welcome. It takes place this Saturday, starting at 1pm CET.

    Go to frogsconf.nl for more information and (not unimportant) to register.

  3. The next #FroGSconf lean coffee is this Wednesday, December 3rd, from 4pm to 5pm CET (Amsterdam). It's online and free, so if you like putting quality in your software, please join and bring a friend if you can!

  4. What is the feedback you should be getting at *this level*?

    In a conversation today with the brilliant @ez I picked up a phrase and decided in the moment it would make a great workshop for the #FroGSConf this weekend.

    The feedback you are getting tells more about your level than you might think. So let's model that together.

  5. My favorite online software conference is happening soon again on 20th of September: frogsconf.nl/
    It's a lovely #OpenSpace for people who love building software, with amazing facilitation by @ez

    #FrogsConf

  6. Luckily @OSCo isn't alone :-)
    There are other related conferences.
    A shoutout to some of them!

    Some inspired us (@SoCraTes_Conf, we are looking at you 😋)

    Others are even more affordable like the @BSidesMunich and the @elbsides
    (as long as you don't need a hotel in Munich or Hamburg 😜) or the #bsides series in general

    And some focus on diversity like the @wicca conference

    I have to add the #FrogsConf, an online conference in the #OpenSpace format. While I haven't attended before I hope to join the next edition (20.09.2025)

  7. So many great ideas for sessions at #FroGSconf that we had to add some extra rooms to the schedule! 💪 🐸

  8. When is the next Friends of Good Software free online unconference? frogsconf.nl #FroGSConf 🐸

  9. @ez @maaretp @coderbyheart
    Can only endorse this wholeheartedly! The #FroGSConf events I've been to were awesome for having insightful conversations and making valuable and lasting new connections. They also helped me further in tangible ways and offered a welcoming space to try things out and learn together. Still sad for any instance I missed in the past, and continuously hopeful to make it to the next event! 🐸

  10. We're one month away from the next Friends of Good Software event. It's free, online, and on a weekday this time for all you weekday folks.

    🐸 14 May 2025, 3pm CEST

    If you're looking for those valuable conversations you have during the breaks, in the hallway, over long meals at conferences, and want to skip all the pesky travel and presentations, #FroGSConf is for you.

    Sign up on our site for this event or any future events: frogsconf.nl. And then show up!

  11. 🐸 The Friends of Good Software #FroGSConf is this Saturday! We made it shorter so that everyone will complain about there being too many good things at the same time even more.

    If FroGS means nothing to you, read frogsconf.nl then toot me with questions, objections, etc.

    If you know what the heck I'm on about, check that the schedule works for your timezone and lifestyle here: bit.ly/frogs-feb2025.

    I hope you can make some time for it; it's better when you're there. 💚

  12. It's coming up, and I can't wait: #FroGSConf. A week from now, Saturday. I have a hands-on session in mind I want to run on #testing, but I also would like to do one on #QualityEngineering and the practical change to allow quality to be everyone's business. frogsconf.nl - and yes, it's free, open-space, and absolutely lovely.

  13. I can neither confirm nor deny that the dates of our next two #FroGSconf events have been published on our site.

  14. We've got the Friends of Good Software #FroGSConf today at 3pm CET!

    If you don't know what that means yet, check this out first frogsconf.nl then toot me with questions, concerns, grievances, delights even.

    If you do know what that means already, check your email for the links and bring a hot drink of your choice to your screen at the time this page tells you: bit.ly/frogs-dec2024.

    I hope you can make some time for it; it's better when you're there. 💚

  15. just learned from @micheal that #frogsconf exists.
    frogsconf.nl/event-format/

    it will be dec 2nd

    and the conference team is also here in our good part of the internet: @ez @joeposaurus @huib

  16. The place we buy the #FroGSConf stickers from is making my gender a required field on the order form.

    Currently accepting outlandish reasons why this would be necessary.

    (If I weren't such a #BugMagnet I would have selected man just to see how they'd address me in the email with the proof.)

  17. The Friends of Good Software #FroGSConf is starting in one hour! We’ve got our unconference / open space today: frogsconf.nl. 🐸

  18. The Friends of Good Software are gathering on Saturday! As always, we're online, free, and friendly: frogsconf.nl.

    Come learn from the people you *wish* you worked with all the time. We decide the schedule at the beginning of the day, so bring whatever's on your mind, a current struggle, a dream we can help you bring to reality.

    🐸 #FroGSConf

  19. What's the perfect thing to do while you're enjoying the summer sun and heat?

    Block off your calendar for the cold, rainy, miserable Saturday*, September 21 so you can join the Friends of Good Software conference for free online: frogsconf.nl. We provide the dream team of peers you wish you had to work through the tough stuff on the job.

    *Disclaimer: Weather conditions on this particular Saturday cannot be guaranteed in all possible locations.

  20. There was a question at the #FrogsConf #leanCoffee on which good books about leadership and management exist that are not written with a male view only (like The Phoenix Project, or Turn The Ship Around). Both books are arguably good.

    Looking at some if my reads, there is definitely great work by Mary Poppendieck (The Lean Mindset: Ask the Right Questions), and "An Everyone Culture: Becoming a Deliberately Developmental Organization" which takes a more diverse look at organization.

  21. At #FroGSconf one of the conversation topics was the difficulty of inserting testers where they do good - on-time conversations, listening in and contributing to design, connecting perspectives. The observation was, again, that same good work is allowed and expected when you don't change work or person, but change the person's title.

    I keep wondering if the people showing up to these spaces recognize what average tester output is in the projects. Not all testers...

  22. @Dave_von_S Steps to repro:
    1. Remember you read book with an awesome person
    2. Remember he is Dave
    3. Ask around what is Dave's mastodon handle and get @ez to part that wisdom
    4. Search for the handle in own messages and learn the book is Rebels at work.

    Should I worry about taking the steps or not remembering things in the first place... Today at #FrogsConf

  23. The maybe most friendly conference for people involved in making good software is happening again, today (2024-06-11) with a two-hour lean coffee, starting at 1600 CEST!

    #FrogsConf #softwareCraft

  24. Details from other people and editions of #FroGSConf to convince you that this is a place you can and should be:

    - @lisihocke and had a good time chaos.social/@lisihocke@mastod chaos.social/@cvennevik@hachyd
    - @coderbyheart tooted about each of the sessions from March, here's one where we pinpointed what to look for in an employer: chaos.social/@coderbyheart/112
    - @maaretp tooted notes from a discussion about changing a leadership culture to one that takes action chaos.social/@[email protected]/1

  25. #FroGSConf lean coffee is coming up next week: frogsconf.nl/
    Tuesday 11 June 2024 4pm CEST, it's online, and it's free.
    Join many fantastic folks interested in people and systems that make (good) software.

  26. @coderbyheart I keep thinking about why we wouldn’t have run into each other at NewCrafts sooner. I think it’s because there were so many women at the speakers dinner! What a compliment that is to the @newcrafts organizers. I always know it’ll be a welcoming environment if you and Conference Buddy are going to be there. Sorry I missed your talk, but glad I can watch it soon. I’m told there’s a #FroGSConf shoutout, we appreciate your support and brilliant name. :)

  27. Had a blast at #FroGSconf today! 🐸 Joined two very insightful conversations, on finding employers who value quality by @coderbyheart, and on improving a company's quality culture by Sanne Visser. Really enjoyed building a practice app in an ensemble with @fullsnacktester! And had an awesome time with folks when giving my own ensemble session "Capture the Flag Together: Security for Everyone". Many thanks to everyone for this collaborative and inspiring space! 🙌🏻 frogsconf.nl/

  28. Tomorrow is #FroGSConf again! Looking forward to attending again! 🐸
