We were also surprised by Fiona Charles (another testing guru) turning up - which was great stuff. I didn't get much chance to speak to her which was a shame, but hopefully our paths will cross again some time soon.
We were joined also by Stephen Allot (from BCs), Anand Ramdeo (www.testinggeek.com) (hope I got your name spelt correctly), Mark Crowther (NMQA and speaker at SIGIST), my boss Ant Gardiner and Dorothy Graham (consultant and organiser of Eurostar). It was a real shame other members of the group couldn't make it.
The night was fairly informal to be honest. We swapped some stories and chatted about testing. As expected, the conversations were illuminating with Michael present. We then sat the pub quiz, which we didn't do too badly on. We also saw most of the cast of Hollyoaks too who were round the other side of the bar. Michael did some card tricks too which were pretty incredible followed by more stories of testing. It was a really fun night and incredibly relaxed.
There was no planned agenda so we let the conversation flow about anything we liked. What it has done is re-enforced where I believe the focus of the revolution needs to be. I'll reveal more within the next few weeks - but you can be sure it will interesting and incredibly relevant stuff.
We are hoping to have a meeting in/around Winchester within the next few weeks to kick things off with an agenda and put some milestones / roadmarking down for where we want to take these meetings. We'd also like to get to know the regular attendees of the event.
Here are some photos from this weeks meeting in London.
Hope to see you at the next meeting - keep checking LinkedIn and the Software Testing Club groups for more.
