This one has me psyched – my first time presenting at a European conference, and more validation through interest in my work facilitation patterns and antipatterns.

I’m really proud of our team in India.
ThoughtWorks India is taking the lead in making the first ever RubyConf India happen on Mar 20th and 21st in Bangalore. RubyConf India is being organised by the Ruby community in India and actively supported by Ruby Central. It will feature keynote addresses and talks by Chad Fowler, Ola Bini and other key figures in the Ruby community like (*cough*) Roy Singham. 
This is a big deal for the Ruby community in India, and for ThoughtWorks.

- Dominator

I don’t remember if I’ve mentioned that these characters will make their “live” debut when I present my session on Facilitation Patterns and Antipatterns at Agile2009. I’ve developed a workshop around these ideas, and I think it will be a lot of fun.
I’m delighted to share with you that I’ve added some very cool graphics to this blog.
I’m working with a couple of artists to help me develop some training materials for ThoughtWorks Studios. I’ve had one of them develop avatars for a number of the facilitation patterns and antipatterns that I’ve identified.
And for me.
The avatars will find their way into a workshop that I’m developing for delivery at the Agile2009 conference.
All of the artwork will find its way into the training materials, one way or another.
For the workshop, I’m develop playing cards. My avatars and all of these characters were developed by Mike Ferrin. Here’s a sample:
Take a look at some of the facilitation patterns and antipatterns in this blog, and you’ll meet more of the characters:
- Repetitor
- Curious George
- Superhero
- Guide
- and more!
And here’s an example of one of the pieces that is part of one of our courses:
This piece was done by Brian Goff.

I thought I’d just mention that I’m a stage producer for the New to Agile Stage at the Agile2009 conference. C’mon and submit a proposal to speak!
