On Wednesday the 26th of August there is going to be again a conference on Software Craftsmanship, this time in Chicago.
When I first heard about the conference (Paul Pagel and Dave Hoover told me about it) I was very excited and registered immediately (in fact I was the first person to test if the registration process worked as expected 
). My excitement would soon though turn into sadness as I realized that I would not be able to make it to the conference due to other commitments. 
I would have loved to come to the conference and meet my fellow craftsmen and see the masters talking about the craft, but I am afraid that this year there will be no representation from NexWerk at SCNA. I will have to wait for the accounts from fellow craftsman Ade Oshineye and my flat mate Nuno Marques, to tell me the details from the conference once they are back in London. Obviously I will poke holes into my fellow craftsmen abroad for them to tell me details of the conference too.
On a lighter note I think the wandering book is currently in the chicago area, so it might be possible that whoever has it in his hands brings it to the conference and let’s people like Unclebob or even Richard Sennett write into the book to add some incredible accounts to it!
I wish I could have joined you guys there… maybe next year
Wishing all the best to the organizers (Obtiva and 8th Light) for a great success!
