Experience of participating in Xi'an Openspace community activities

I attended the first community event in Xi'an Openspace yesterday afternoon (2010.12.19). I felt that I had gained a lot. Here are some of my feelings and I hope to share them with you.

 

Openspace impressions

The event was scheduled in the TW Xi'an office. When we first arrived, we found that there were only about 10 people. Later, some people arrived, and finally there were about 20 to 30 people. The first impression of walking into the TW office is simple, that is, a few large tables and a huge display for a meeting. Another point is that they have a lot of whiteboards, which are filled with content. One is to mark the project progress, the other is about feedback, and many pieces of paper are pasted on the whiteboard. I would like to have a chance to ask them to talk about their whiteboard culture and how to use it.

 

Topics are divided into two categories: one is shared with you and the other is discussed with you. Finally, three topics were selected: HTML5, regular expressions, and procrastination psychology.

 

Hu Kai told me about html. I attended the HTML5 lecture in the company last month. I am still familiar with this article. Starting from the more semantic description of HTML5, He interspersed with some relationships between HTML (structure), CSS (Display), and JavaScript (behavior, finally, I demonstrated some of their internal colleagues' work, which is quite good. At that time, it seems that one of the students asked a question about the "video" label. Here is a link: the HTML5 video format competition. It is very good. For more information, see. Another question I really want to ask is the influence of HTML5 on rich client technologies such as flash and Silverlight, which has never been written in, I personally understand that flash and Silverlight will continue to rely on their powerful IDE and the powerful class libraries behind them as support. They will continue to exist, if you are interested, continue chatting.

 

He spoke about regular expressions from a recent project. The content has been published on the Internet: he understands regular expressions as a language and is highly demanding. I used regular expressions in the past. I used regular expressions to check books and forget them when I used them. I tried to check them again. I don't want to know much about them. It seems that I still have a good learning experience.

 

Procrastination psychology was described by a girl in TW. I am very sorry that I really cannot name it. In fact, we are more or less involved in this mentality. We will find many reasons for our own delay. For example, the weather is good, I am basking in the sun, come back and do it, and so on. How can we overcome this problem? The solution proposed by the host is "goals and reward", which breaks down the task or target so that you can finish it quickly. In addition, the solution is supplemented by appropriate rewards, which will not delay much. This topic is very interesting. You can continue to study on Google and delay the link to psychology Douban: http://book.douban.com/subject/4180711 /.

 

The next step is the free discussion of fishbowl, they discussed "how traditional teams transform to agile", "one-stop account and password management", and "how developers can cope with the tablet era" (names may not match) in a warm atmosphere, I also learned a lot from this: how to correctly and accurately express your thoughts, and how to face questions from many people.

 

Some suggestions:

1. Put the Personal Profile step in the middle of the meeting, so that almost everyone else can come.

2. Recording live lecture videos

3. Organize a group photo

 

In general, the meeting was still illegal and successful, and the atmosphere was quite good. I would like to thank the organizers for their efforts and the TW office for providing the venue. I hope that the venue will be better and better in the future.
