Friday morning I will be heading for the Netherlands, there to join EuroFoo, the european Foo Camp - an informal geek conference organized by Tim O'Reilly. EuroFoo has a lot that appeals to me. Plenty of smart folk to meet up with - I loved the quip about the original Foo Camp, to the effect that the most frequently heard comment by attendees was "I have no idea what I'm doing here - everyone here is so much smarter than me." I almost feel that way - my concern was more that my own interests - in agile development, effective software management, team dynamics, etc. - would be quite peripheral to the smart crowd of "alpha geeks" at EuroFoo. The concern was, fortunately, belied by the pre-conference conversations on the EuroFoo wiki: I hope to take a part - more or less active - in sessions about Situated Software, Worth-Based Development, Better Books Now, Social Tools for the Enterprise, and Open Source Usability. There are also a few "technical" sessions I figure I might well enjoy.
