Dear Clojurians, Let me explain about our XT16 conference: a couple of days ago I was talking with a programmer from Pamplona, Spain. He was encamped in a busy bar with lousy WIFI because a load of bulls were about to rampage through the streets and most of the town was shut down; the shops boarded up.
We were talking about his project - a not for profit international group of developers producing online software for developing countries - when he made the statement: 'A project succeeds or fails depending on people being happy, enjoying what they do and putting everything in to make it succeed'. Those coming to the XT16 conference agree that having fun at work does not subtract from the task of creating serious software, but rather it has a multiplying effect. Crossing the streams of advanced technology and developer enjoyment can result in an explosion of beauty and raw productivity power that can then be harnessed. This is what we want to show. Join us at XT16 for an intimate conference in the UK countryside (conveniently close to a fast-line to London Kings Cross). We are offering a time-limited coupon code CLOJURIANPEACE for a 25% discount (we've only got 128 tickets and they are being allocated on a first-come first-serve basis). Talks include James Lewis surveying the changing open source landscape and Professor James Woudhuysen will examine the future of our humanity and technology. Portia Tung - who inspired our theme - will dig deep into the science behind getting everybody out of the rut and to collectively enjoy our work. We have Clojure and non-Clojure language related talks that push the boundaries and talks that go down to the bare-metal. If that isn't enough we have Sam Aaron to provide the beats and to give a talk on the philosophical aspects of performance coding. We want this conference to be an *event*. We have sourced the finest coffee and have commissioned our very own XT16 beer. We have activities to challenge the faculties and to keep them burning and an after party that will provide the opportunity to network with similarly minded enthusiasts. We will also be providing Ukuleles.
