Migrating to Event-Sourcing
Hosted by Ted M. Young
In this session I want to explore how to provide some migration patterns for devs to move from ORM-based apps to Event-Sourcing, especially those systems where they're using DDD Aggregates (or at least things that look like aggregates). I've been working on DDD Aggregate-based systems for years (much longer on ORM/CRUD-like systems) and have become very excited (perhaps overly so) about Event-Sourcing. I think one of the biggest barriers to adoption is the usual "how do I get there from where I am" problem, so I'd like to use this session to discuss some ways of migrating in an iterative and incremental fashion.
It probably helps if you know about Event Sourcing (and I'll probably have a session on that), but of course not required!

Experiencing Team Flow
Hosted by Michel Grootjans
We will be playing a game and running a few interactive simulations on team organisation and the effect this has on the total flow of work.
We will see:
- Why would we prefer T-shaped team members?
- How can swarming help?
- Why would you deliberately limit work in progress?
- Why is it that we have trouble estimating when work will be done?
Hosted by Amélie
You might have heard in previous editions that it would be cool to have a week-long (and more outdoorsy) crafters meet and open space here in the UK.
I might have found a suitable venue recently! Let's see if we can make it happen 🤞🏻 Look at some pictures and ideas

AI/TDD keynote run-through
Hosted by Clare Sudbery
I'm going to be delivering a keynote on "The Power of Craft: Staying in the Driver’s Seat of AI-Assisted Development" at JManc on 10th July (in Manchester), and I'd love to do a run-through. Entirely selfish but also hopefully interesting content for you lot!

The return of the desk bell game
Hosted by Clare Sudbery
I invented a game for desk bells at SoCraTes 2023 (I think?). It was fun. I want to do it again.
