Cool, congratulations, Kevin. Sounds like a great gig. You’ll still talk to me, right, or will you now be surrounded by an entourage, perhaps an entourage of burly penguins?

Hi Kevin,
It’s interesting what you are saying. I think the only way entrepreneurial spirit to start is by doing. Governments really just need to get out of the way. PR has some really cool advantages for even small high tech businesses, that I really like. But of course I don’t know the day to day road blocks that gets put up in front of entrepreneurs there.

Drop me a line, I would like to talk.

Actually, it gave me a good idea for the “two weeks ago meeting” that we never had and probably will not have even next week.

Anyways, we just migrate to the “latest version software” about 1 1/2 months ago and they asked me how long will it takes to migrate to the newest latest version released 3 weeks ago.

That’s when your explanation comes in “first this, then that, then some other stuff, then shit happens and then finally it will be ready”.

Gosh, it took us 5 month to migrate and it was already started. So, this one which changed from structured programming to OOP, is going to be a pain in the b*t.

Anyways, as long as they pay me…the show must go on!

This is a great idea: simple, practical and easily implemented for any number of projects. As to logisitics, one could imagine using university facilities (between sessions), a beach house or second home (could belong to someone who isn’t part of the project but wants to help) or small hotels in out-of-the-way places. Costs can be minimized with a precise budget. A wide variety of materials would be needed, but they could be inexpensive: index cards, PostIt notes, notebooks, blank paper, pens, markers, a whiteboard, etc. I would suggest limiting groups to no more than 7 people, with 5 being a better number. Reason: you want as much interaction as possible along with a group that can communicate quickly. With too many participants, you run the risk of a “dominant cabal” or a “rebel coalition”. If everyone feels that their contribution is vital, the urge to “isolate” becomes almost nil.

Great post! I’d love to be a part of any transcendental project that uses this method.
