A quick log of the events I visited/held/participated in to continuously get a better programmer in 2015.
Together with Urs Metz, I facilitated the Global Day of Code Retreat in Karlsruhe. Thanks to @petfic for hosting us at FiduciaGAD.
Lesson learned:
Diversification was the key factor for this event to be as great as it was.
Great mix of different backgrounds, programming languages and age groups.

Nov 14, 2015I gave a talk about the git internals, specifically the git object database.
Activity: 50. Treffen der Softwerkskammer Karlsruhe
Oct 14, 2015Socrates is two full days of open-space, followed by one day of workshops.
Lesson learned:
Extremely positive atmosphere. I felt very welcome and valued.
Even sessions where you have no idea about the topic worked, as there are enough
knowing people to get decent discussions out of it.

Aug 27, 2015Organized by Franiziska Sauerwein and facilitated by Erik Talboom we spend a whole 9to5 day doing the usual 1h-cycles. The event was hosted by Generics.
Lesson learned:
Cool session-ideas like "Babysteps" and "Whishful Thinking". I look forward to
practice with them.

Mar 21, 2015A one day OpenSpace, organized by the Softwerkskammer, hosted by Fiducia.
Lesson learned:
Sessions full of half knowledge are more likely to happen (compared to a "normal"
conference) and don't pay anyone.
Nevertheless I feel assured that "OpenSpace" is a great -unconference- way of
spending your day.
