The 2009 return of eXtreme Tuesday - Tuesday Jan 20th

This Tuesday, the 20th, will see the (triumphant!) return of XTC. We'll be meeting as usual at d.b.a. in the East village (details on this blog.)

Tuesday is of course the inauguration day of Barack Obama, so feel along to bring along your non-software friends to celebrate the day.

And finally, I've added a photo of myself to the XTC blog since I've heard people aren't always sure who to look out for. If any other XTC'ers would also like to have their mugshot up please let me know!

XTC-NYC on hiatus

Hi all,

XTC-NYC is currently having a break, and will be returning in the new year. We'll likely be meeting up Tuesday Jan 6th, so keep the evening free. Until then have a great holiday season and new year.

Update

I can't make the 6th. Hopefully we'll manage the 20th.

August XTC's

eXtreme Tuesday is tonight for those that aren't in Toronto for Agile 2008, and in 2 weeks time (the 19th) . I'll be at d.b.a. tonight, but not in 2 weeks time, but don't let that stop anyone...

Advance notice - the first XTC of the fall (yikes, summer's nearly over already?) will be September 2nd, the day after Labor Day.

June, July eXtreme Tuesdays

After a late Spring hiatus, eXtreme Tuesday is back in the swing of things starting today (June 17th) and then next month on July 1st and 15th.

I may be a little late today (I'll tell you all about it over a beer...) but Ken Judy will at d.b.a. on time.

May eXtreme Tuesdays (with a Lean slant)

The 1st eXtreme Tuesday this month (May 6th) officially "isn't happening" (although that doesn't stop people going to d.b.a.) - instead I strongly recommend a special event the XP-NYC crew are putting on at the Google office where Mary & Tom Poppendieck will be speaking on lean development.

See here for signup details

XTC will be meeting on May 20th ... although I personally have a conflict that night so won't be around. Someone please pet the cat for me though.

April XTCs

Humid? Raining? Washed-out baseball games? It must be April!

But never fear, eXtreme Tuesday is still here, time to start switching to the Spring seasonal ales. Oh, and plenty of agile talk too (I wonder if any of the Cyrus people want to come along and talk about their novel pricing schemes?)

I personally won't be around for the April 15th night, but would be glad to say hi to anyone around tonight.

March XTC's

March is here. Before you know it, the weather will be warming up and we'll all be worried about an impending blackout due to over-enthusiastic air conditioners.

Before then though, we have few more XTC's to have. This week Simon Stewart, a Googler and a good friend of mine from London will be around. He's helping to lead both the Selenium and Webdriver open-source web testing tools so if that kind of thing tickles your fancy come along and say hello.

The 2nd XTC of the month will be on March 18th.

First XTC of the year ... and our first birthday!

The first NYC eXtreme Tuesday Club of the year is Tuesday January 15th at our usual venue of d.b.a. on First Avenue between 2nd and 3rd street.

This meetup also represents our first birthday, so even more reason to celebrate!

Update: Unfortunately I'm sick and won't be able to make tonight but I'm sure plenty of other poeple will be out in the conservatory as usual.

December XTCs

Well folks, the first year of XTC-NYC is drawing to a close. We've just 2 more meetups left, tomorrow and on the 18th. We've been having some corking discussion of late (and no, not just about home brew and eurogaming) so come along and and join in!

XTC London moves

I first went to the London version of eXtreme Tuesday in early 2002, and it took place then, just as it has done for most of the last nigh on 6 years since, at 'The Old Bank of England', a cavernous Fullers pub next to the Royal Courts of Justice where Fleet Street becomes The Strand.

It was therefore somewhat of a surprise that I read today that London XTC has moved to the 'Counting House' on Cornhill, closer to the Financial District. More details from Nat Pryce here.

November XTCs

As the evenings get darker and the weather gets colder, what better excuse for some geeky comraderie at the eXtreme Tuesday Club? We start the month's meetups tomorrow night and then on the 20th for a Thanksgiving Special..

Hope to see you at d.b.a.

October 16 - DDD & alt.net follow-up

There was a healthy representation of XTC-NYC'ers at the alt.net conference in Austin last weekend so the next meeting on October 16 is sure to include discussion of that.

We'll also be welcoming New York members of the newly-founded Domain Driven Design group who will be dropping in.

October is a 5 Tuesday month so pop over to d.b.a. before we start a 3 week break.

XP NYC Blogs

Thanks to the web 2.0 goodness of Yahoo Pipes, I've setup an aggregation of XP / Agile blogs of people based in NYC. You can see it at http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=nBxJoGVb3BGBtu7ty6ky6g .

If you're an XP / Agilist based in NYC and would like your blog added to the collective then drop me a line.

Post-Agile 2007 XTC, plus Facebook

Last week a whole bunch of us were in Washington DC for the Agile 2007 conference. Come along to DBA this week for our 2nd eXtreme Tuesday of the month, and the last of the summer (the next one will be the day after Labor Day) to discuss the good (and bad) of our week in the capital.

Also, we now have a Facebook group so if all this social networking stuff is your bag, head here now!

XTC-NYC is going to Agile!

Hey all,

Seeing as Agile 2007 is the one of the biggest XP events of the year, it seems only fitting that eXtreme Tuesday Club meet up for our usual beer and shop talk.

On Wednesday (yes, _Wednesday_), August 15th, 6–9 pm, Cyrus Innovation is having a shindig over at the Old Dominion Brewhouse in the DC Convention Center. Help Cyrus celebrate a great year with beer and food on us.

Let me know if you can make it (feel free to bring a colleague, too) - just drop a line to agile2007 at cyrusinnovation dot com

See the link below for more details:

XTC-NYC - July 3rd & 17th

This month's eXtreme Tuesdays are this Tuesday (yes, I know it's the day before Independence Day, I'll still be in the city!) and on the 17th. I won't be around for the 17th - I'll be in the UK and at London's XTC, but I'm sure others will be.

Site updated with location details, will no longer be giving them in blog posts

Since we've settled on a location (D.B.A.) I'm going to stop mentioning the location details in the regular blog postings. For that you'll have to come to the site and look!

XTC-NYC - June 19 2007

It's the last XTC before the days start getting shorter! So come along to D.B.A. !

• June 19th from 6.30 pm
• D.B.A. , 41 1st Ave, 10003, between 2nd and 3rd streets
• Very close to 2nd Ave stop on the F/V (Exit out of the 1st Ave end and D.B.A. is a 1 minute walk!)
  
• Map

I'll be there this time after my break, I hope to see some of you for a beer and chat.
