Quotes
...I met an amazing group of
incredibly cool people.
-- Elisabeth Hendrickson
I went to the CITCON in Chicago... and found it
to be a thoroughly enjoyable experience... It's a small, free conference that was organized and hosted better than
some large, expensive conferences I've been to. More importantly, it had a great set of attendees which, since
CITCON is an Open Space conference, led to some truly interesting sessions.
-- James Shore
The conference adheres to the Open Spaces idea and
I have to admit I was pretty skeptical. There are no formal speakers or talks but rather semi-organized
discussions surrounding the ideas that the participants put forth. Sounded pretty touchy-feely and little too
hippy for me ... but I have to say that I found it to be significantly more informative.
-- David O'Hara
It was my second
experience of an "OpenSpaces" conference... and I must say I really like the format... As another participant said
in the wrap up session, you really feel like you're participating in the conference rather than just being talked
at by some spruik with a PowerPoint deck.
-- Mike
Cannon-Brookes
I attended CITCON this weekend - it was great! ... If
you are interested in continuous integration and testing then this is the conference to go to.
-- Ivan Moore
