I have translated the talk I gave last week at Agila Sverige to English, it’s available here.

I gave a dinner talk yesterday at the Agila Sverige conference which was fairly rantish about the state of the agile world. The text of the talk is available here (in swedish).

I will give my talk on “Design for Replaceability - Architecture For An Agile Lifestyle” at DevLin2012 Thursday next week. I was quite happy how the talk was received at JFokus, and will incorporate some of the great feedback I got. This time I will only have 25 minutes though, so I will either speak very fast or cut out some slides.

I had a great time at DevLin last year and l reallly look forward to this years conference.

I am in Oslo for Smidig 2011, where I gave a talk titled “Layers of complexity”. It centers around medium number systems and Cynefin framework in order to provide a model for software development and explain why we cannot use time based measurements in order to improve the process. It also mentions why time estimates are never correct.

Later today at 18:00 I will give my talk on Taylorism and Mass Production at Oslo XP Meetup. Hope to see you there.

ThoughtWorks cohosting and speaking at the Emerging Technologies track at the Scandinavian Developer Conference. Ola will speak about JRuby and I will give a presentation with a title stolen from XP: ‘The Simplest Thing That Could Possibly Work’.

It is a one day conference which I am really looking forward to - Kent Beck keynoting is reason enough to be there. See the full program here.

The videos from Smidig 2008 are up. This is mine (in Swedish):

My Friday morning inbox contained an email from Niclas Nilsson asking me to replace him doing interviews for InfoQ at Øredev. It took some planning calls to my wife and booking of babysitting, but now I am good to go.

I will be interviewing these six gentlemen:

• Jon Bostrom
• Walter Bright
• James Bach
• Roger Sullivan
• Luke Hohmann
• BJ Hargrave

Let me know if you have any question you would like me to ask.

I will be at JAOO this year, telling everyone who is interested all about ThoughtWorks Sweden. Last time I went to JAOO was 2001, so I am really looking forward to it.

I will probably spend quite some time in the ThoughtWorks booth, so come by and say hi. Or beat me in the IT-run which I have signed up for.

I am happy to say that I will give one of the lightning talks at Smidig 2008. My presentation is about optimizing the whole product chain, from concept to cash, and stop focusing on projects as they fragment the organization and cause local optimization.

Last years conference was great and inspired us here in Stockholm to do our own version in the form of Agila Sverige. I am really looking forward to going back to Oslo.

Another thing: ThoughtWorks is sponsoring Agila Sverige 2008, and we have three tickets to give away. Send me an email or add a comment to this post if you want one.
