Values

Software development meetups, communities, conferences, unconferences, both free and paid are exploding in numbers.

A few people think that these can be better. That no matter if the event is free or paid, it should feature a few characteristics to make it truly valuable for the attendees.

This is why today we have initiated the Manifesto for Software Craftsmanship Gatherings:

Manifesto I TAKE Unconference

 

Today, a few communities and conferences follow these principles: SoCraTes Germany, SoCraTes UK, Software Craftsmanship communities around the world and the I TAKE Unconference.

Let’s help them continue the amazing work they do by supporting the ideas that they stand for! Show your support and appreciation by commenting on or sharing this page. Thank you!

 

For your convenience, the text of the manifesto is below:

 

Manifesto for software craftsmanship gatherings

We believe software craftsmanship gatherings create the most value to their attendees when they feature:

 

Practical, concrete discussions on code over generic talks
Speakers should write or show code

 

Solutions applicable in any language over vendor-specific tool marketing
Discussions should feature techniques usable in more technologies

 

Exchange of ideas in an open environment over passive listening
Opportunities should abound to meet and learn with fellow developers working in various environments

 

Learning by practicing with peers over hearing and forgetting
Practice should be encouraged with formats such as hands-on workshops, open space, code with a stranger or pair programming

 

Initiated by the Mozaic Works team, proud organizers of the I. T.A.K.E. Unconference

Maria Diaconu, Adrian Bolboaca, Alexandru Bolboaca, Flavius Stef
