AgileWorks Remote Open Space

History

Last year, after the Agile Lean Europe (ALE) conference, Franck Depierre (https://twitter.com/FranckDepierre) had the idea to start a Remote Open Space to connect the different communities of practice of Europe, in the spirit of the ALE Network (http://alenetwork.eu/). Franck called this concept xALEc (http://alenetwork.eu/blog/2012/02/24/xalec/), or The Extreme ALE Club.

Inspired by his initiative we initiate the same concept to unite the AgileWorks Romanian groups: Bucharest (https://www.meetup.com/The-Bucharest-Agile-Software-Meetup-Group/), Timisoara (https://www.meetup.com/The-Timisoara-Agile-Software-Meetup-Group/), Cluj-Napoca (https://www.meetup.com/The-Cluj-Napoca-Agile-Software-Meetup-Group/), Iași (https://www.meetup.com/The-Iasi-Agile-Software-Meetup-Group/), Sibiu (https://www.meetup.com/The-Sibiu-Agile-Lean-Software-Meetup-Group/), Targu-Mures (https://www.meetup.com/The-Targu-Mures-Agile-Software-Meetup-Group/).

How
Every two weeks, on Tuesday, we meet at 19:30 (Romanian time) on Google Plus. To attend you need to either open the Google Document (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_U4AGuojNYBTAjVBFd2D8zaJur8HUpW2OLKD8ZASBFc/edit) and click on the Google Plus Hangout link or you can follow the Twitter tag #awros to see the link to the Google Plus Hangout.

Each attendee makes a short introduction.

We add to this Google Document (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_U4AGuojNYBTAjVBFd2D8zaJur8HUpW2OLKD8ZASBFc/edit) the topics that we would like to talk about.
We vote the topics we want talk by dot voting on the Google Document (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_U4AGuojNYBTAjVBFd2D8zaJur8HUpW2OLKD8ZASBFc/edit).
We chat about the voted topics and we want to keep our ideas on the subject.

After 30 minutes we stop and we draw some conclusions.
We write the conclusions in the Google Document (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_U4AGuojNYBTAjVBFd2D8zaJur8HUpW2OLKD8ZASBFc/edit).

We use Twitter to radiate the ideas we have come up with by using the twitter tag #awros

You need a Google Plus account.
30 minutes of your time.
Good ideas.
