A lot of things I saw on Devoxx do not warrant their own blog post, but they are interesting enough to mention.

Blips
This is just a short blog to draw your attention to the latest edition of Thoughtworks’ Technology Radar.
For those new to it, the radar is Thoughtworks’ quarterly opinion on noteworthy things happening in IT engineering. These are put into four categories (Techniques, Languages & Frameworks, Tools and Platforms) and visually presented in a kind of radar display. Background information and additional explanations can be found on Martin Fowler‘s blog.
It’s quite interesting to watch for new blips, or to see old blips fade or brighten. And I find it pretty cool if a new technology or tool that I’ve just learned about or played with makes it on their radar.
But remember: it’s just Thoughtworks’ opinion… you are allowed to disagree.
Maybe we should attempt to create a radar of our own and then compare. Would be fun!
Managing your software inventory
At Avisi we are using Scrum more and more on our development teams. And just now I ran into this interesting blog post on software inventory. Typical Scrum activities are organizing the backlog or planning a sprint. These are exactly the activities that are dealing with the inventory of a Scrum team. With the new GreenHopper 6, managing your inventory becomes an easy task.

Not only at Avisi, but throughout the entire software industry, we noticed the need of creating a platform for the software architect in an agile environment. The symposium will focus on new development in software architecture and software architecture in agile projects.

Join our breakfast, meet our experts!
Last april we held our very first breakfast meetup. It was a thorough introduction to Atlassian, Jira and Confluence during a tasty breakfast. Attendees were enthusiastic, apparently learned something and we all had a very interesting discussion afterwards.
So we decided to repeat the experience!
Atlassian Stash – new product, first experience
On may 1st 2012, Atlassian released a new product called Stash. Stash is a Git repository manager. People that know Atlassian would say “Hey, isn’t it the same as FishEye?”. Well no, it’s not the same. FishEye is for looking at ALL of your source code, in any source repository. Stash is a repository manager for Git only. So how is it different then?
Techday Play framework
We’re holding another one of our monthly “Techday” events this week. We organize techdays because we like to stay sharp and have some fun in the process (Check out our previous blog post about why we do techdays).
This month’s techday is on thursday april 26th in our Avisi offices in Arnhem. This time about the Play framework. Want to join the fun?
Come have breakfast, with our Atlassian Experts!
