Dennis and I discussed a new idea he had about changing the UG meeting format. His idea is to invite a developer to discuss (no longer than 30 minutes) a problem they have at work and how they solved it. I think this is a great idea because it allows
– developers to talk about something they know.
– you don’t need a lot of preparation time (after all you solved the problem).
– you only have 30 minutes, just long enough to provide detail but not get boring or repetitive.
We were trying to come up with a witty name but couldn’t think of one. How about “ArcTalk”, I’ve seen Architecture Talks posted before so it isn’t anything new. It does have a nice ring to it and kind of sums up the discussion.
