FROSST 1: What I liked best

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Simo) — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 00:00:00 +0000

At the end of FROSST 1, we asked participants to give us some feedback. Well... actually, we bribed them with a chance to win a Wii. As the content of the feedback had no bearing on one's chance at getting the Wii, I suspect most of the feedback is honest.

The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. You, the participants are the reason why it was a great conference. As I said Saturday evening, I am impressed with the testing community in Colorado. Instead of me telling you all about what I think was great about FROSST 1, here's what some of the participants had to say:

What did you like best about this conference?

I feel much better about myself & career.
The Goodie Bag was amazing.
Relevant subjects.
The diversity of people.
The variety of ideas.
The open space topic concept where we determined what the conference was about.
The discussions in the groups flowed really well.
Lots of interaction between participants.
The format which allowed us to talk about what interested us the most.
The level of knowledge.
Talking to people that understood my language.
Collaboration.
Meeting lots of people that are professional testers.
The price is right.
Open space format
We chose our topics.
Having a chance to talk during sessions.
Open forum.
It was quite eye opening to see that other testers encounter the same issues with their companies and with different tools.
Many different subjects to chose from.
Topics discussed were those I wanted to discuss.
Learning from experts on a subject I'm relatively clueless on.
Small enough to get to know people easily.
The ability to pick and choose the topics of interest.
The best thing about this conference was the ability to speak freely and share ideas!
Determining the topics ourselves.
The ability to contribute & discuss. It felt like our conference -- very empowering!
Lack of sales pitches.
The discussions were all informative and helpful. Participation was easy and comfortable.
Wonderful concept.
The non-structured conversations allowed the topics to move in directions that were most beneficial to everyone in attendance.
So many options.
I liked how the conference allowed everyone to tap into the well of common knowledge.
It's free!
I enjoyed the open format where many perspectives were shared.
Agile discussion.
Lots of new ideas.
Broad topics and narrow topics allowed for sweeping overviews as well as peeks into particular shop problems / current concerns.
No long presentations.
I had a great time meeting people and discussing software testing.
The open space concept!
The chance to interact.
Being able to call a session I know nothing about.

Thank you to all who participated. We're definitely going to do this again.

While most of the things participants had to say was very positive, there was some negative feedback; and I've got to say that I agree with nearly all of it. This was our first time out and I believe we can fix the few problems next time.

We're working on plans for workshops, each focused on a single topic, to allow for in-depth discussion and problem solving that doesn't fit into an hour. Stay tuned for more information.

Until then, please share your notes and ideas on the FROSST Wiki and your blogs.

Here's what a few participants are saying:

FROSST1 is over...IT WAS GREAT!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Heidi HC) — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 17:55:00 +0000

Your first FROSST conference was a HUGE success!! Thank you to all of our sponsors, specifically our champion sponsors - ProtoTest (http://www.prototest.com/) and Current Consulting (http://www.current-consulting.com/). Please remember them when you have testing, staffing or recruiting needs and tell them FROSST sent you.

Participants made new connections, discussed topics that they were very passionate about like "Certifications? Good/Bad?" - we got to see other's points of view and still came out of the discussion friends. We learned new things about Watir, Ruby and FitNesse, automation and performance testing, how to gather metrics that matter, open source tools, database testing, and agile in qa.

We must give special thanks to a few instrumental people:

Special thanks to Leslie Dunn for being our "schlepper" and doing whatever we needed her to do - including stuffing bags and hauling stuff
Patti Miller of Test Common (http://www.testcommon.com/) for helping sign everyone in and - stuffing bags
Melissa Tondi (http://www.tundraservicesinc.com/) for helping stuff bags and being the representative for two different sponsors and providing the Wii. Ladies and Gentlemen... Melissa Tondi!!
Michelle Rocke of Current Consulting (http://www.current-consulting.com/) for delivering all of the extra food we had to the Denver Rescue Mission.
Si (Ben's Dad) for hooking up our WiFi, keeping the rest of us in line and of course - stuffing bags
Jessica and Andrew Simo (Ben's kids) for setting up the Wii and helping to do whatever we needed them to do
JoElyn Ford, James and Debby of CTU for helping with whatever we needed
Blythe McFall for washing our fruit

And thank you to all of you for taking your Friday night and Saturday to design and participate in the first open space software testing conference ever. Ben and I had a vision and you all made it happen. Thank you!!!

Please remember to join the FROSST yahoo group (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/frosstcon/) so that we can keep you updated on FROSST2. Also tell others about FROSST, have them join the yahoo group and don't forget to blog about your conference. Finally, please feel free to fill out some info about you on the wiki (http://wiki.frosstcon.com/wiki/index.php?title=FROSST_1_Registrants).

Ben and I are completely exhausted but look forward to coordinating FROSST2 in Spring 2009.

Forecasting Future Friday FROSST

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Simo) — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 23:55:00 +0000

The first FROSST (Front Range Open Space Software Testing) Conference begins a week from now - October 10, 2008 - at the Denver North campus of Colorado Technical University (CTU). The check-in desk will open at 5:45pm PM and we will start the evening activities at 6:30pm. Please give yourself time to navigate Friday evening rush hour traffic.

To get to CTU from I-25, take Exit 223 at 120th street and head west for about nine tenths of a mile. Turn right on Pecos St, and then left at 121st street. Follow the FROSST signs as seen at the top right.

The plan for Friday evening is to introduce the concept, get to know one another a little bit, and plan Saturday's activities. FROSST is a participatory conference. We will discuss whatever interests those who attend. So, if there's something you really want to talk about, be sure to come on Friday to propose your topic. You don't have to be an expert on a topic to propose it. You just need to be interested. If you want to present something, you may propose to present it as long as you aren't selling anything. However, we ask that any presentations be kept short so that those interested can discuss the topic.

Following the proposal of topics, we will move Friday night's festivities to the Radisson Hotel known as Graystone Castle. This is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of 120th and I-25. Free appetizers, desserts, beer, and soft drinks will be provided to FROSST participants. Please use this time to get to know others in the software testing business; including our great sponsors.

Speaking of sponsors, FROSST 1 is championed by ProtoTest and Current Consulting. Plus, a number of other sponsors have stepped up to help underwrite the expenses of this FREE conference. Please see the wiki for more information about our sponsors.

Saturday morning, breakfast and check-in starts at 8am. The first session will start at 9am. Be sure to be here in time to review the schedule and find topics that interest you. If you find yourself in a session that doesn't interest you, please apply the law of two feet: get up and find some place you can learn or contribute.

Although it is definitely not required, Feel free to bring a notebook computer to take notes or share something you are doing. (We're unlikely to have places for lots of people to plug in at once, so make sure your battery is charged.) Three of the five breakout session rooms will have projectors should there be a need to share what's on a computer screen. We plan to have WiFi available so that those who desire may update the conference Wiki with their notes in real time.

You are also welcome to bring a camera and take photos of the event. If you do take pictures, please share them via Picasa or Flickr.

At the end of the day Saturday, we'll hold drawing for some great prizes. So be sure to stick around.

Every participant gets their very own page on the FROSST wiki. Please go to the participants page, click your name, and tell us more about yourself. As you do, please keep in mind what I tell my children about information posted on the Internet: it is public and forever.

See the FROSST 1 wiki pages for more details about the conference.

This is your conference. It will be whatever the participants make it. It looks like it is going to be great! We look forward to seeing you on October 10th and 11th!

- Ben (and Heidi too)

PS: You must be pre-registered to attend FROSST 1. If you are registered and will not be able to attend, please let us know via email to register@frosstcon.com. You may also use that email address if you are not registered and want to offer a bribe or otherwise plead your case for being added to rolls. :-)

PPS: How do you like our cool t-shirts? Come to FROSST 1 Friday night to get your own.

FROSST 1 is full

Happy National Punctuation Day!

noreply@blogger.com (Heidi HC) — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 00:30:00 +0000

Happy Thursday!!! (and from Ben: Happy National Punctuation Day!)

Ben is letting me post again....This is so exciting!!! It's just because he doesn't have time.....but I know - beggars can't be choosers, right?

Tomorrow we are 'officially' two weeks away from FROSST1. Ben and I are putting the final touches on your conference and the reception on Friday night.

First and foremost, I would like to thank our Champion sponsors ProtoTest and Current-Consulting. Our Champion sponsors will have tables set up at the conference. Please introduce yourself to them - they are great people to know if you are seeking work as a tester or want to fill an open testing position at your company. FROSST1 is also supported by Connected Testing, SQuAD, iLevel, ProKarma, Test Common, Tundra Services, the Association for Software Testing and Skytap - our newest sponsor. Please check out the Wiki and read about the sponsors of your conference.

Just a few reminders:

The conference starts on Friday night, October 10, at 6 p.m at CTU in Westminster
That is when you will decide what will be the topics of discussion for Saturday's sessions
On the wiki is more information about the schedule and session time frames (http://wiki.frosstcon.com/ and click the FROSST1 link)
If you'd like a hotel room Friday night, there's still room at the Radisson. You need to reserve by September 29th to get the FROSST discount. See the venue page on the wiki for contact information.
If you can't attend Friday - that's ok - you can still attend Saturday - you just won't be able to vote on the topics of decision. Please email us if you know in advance that you cannot attend Friday but will be there Saturday (register@frosstcon.com).

Ben and I do try to have lives, besides work, coordinating FROSST1 conference, volunteer work and family time. We understand "life happens" and that sometimes life (or work) gets in the way of the best laid plans. Please do email us (register@frosstcon.com) as soon as possible if "life happens" to you and you will not to be able to attend FROSST1.

Remember, this is your conference! You get to decide the what we all talk about. Make it a good conference!

Signing off until next week,

Heidi (and Ben)

P.S. We are excited to meet all of you at the conference.

FROSST 1 is less than 4 weeks away!

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Simo) — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 13:02:00 +0000

The first FROSST Conference begins in less than four weeks!

We've far exceeded our initial goal of 100 registrants for the October 2008 FROSST Conference. We currently have 157 registered participants. This is really exciting. If you want to join in and haven't yet registered, register now!

Thanks to our great sponsors that are making this gathering possible. ProtoTest and Current Consulting have stepped up as Champion Sponsors. FROSST 1 is also supported by Connected Testing, SQuAD, iLevel, ProKarma, Test Common, the Association for Software Testing, and Tundra Services.

FROSST 1 will be held October 10th and 11th at Colorado Technical University's North Denver campus at 1865 W 121st Ave in Westminster, Colorado. This is just under 1 mile west of I-25 on 120th Avenue. After session topics are proposed, Friday night's planning meeting will move to Graystone Castle (Radisson North Denver) at I-25 & 120th Ave for a reception with free food, beer, and soft drinks.

The conference schedule has been refined and is posted on the FROSST wiki. Check-in will open up shortly before 6pm Friday night (October 10th). We hope to get started by 6:30pm. Please be aware that Friday traffic can be worse than normal, and give yourself plenty of time to get to CTU. We've got room on the schedule for up to 25 sessions on Saturday -- that's up to five concurrent sessions in each of five periods on the schedule. We plan to go until about 7pm on Saturday.

We have a small number of discounted hotel rooms available for October 10th at Graystone Castle (Radisson North Denver) for those that would rather not drive home Friday night. To reserve a room at the discounted rate of $102, call the Radisson at (303) 451-1002 and tell them you are with FROSST.

Registrations Exceeding Our Expectation

noreply@blogger.com (Heidi HC) — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 01:22:00 +0000

Hello fellow testers -
Ben is FINALLY going to let me post!!!!

We are two months out from the actual conference and we have 110 testers registered from 84 companies. Please keep talking to other testers about the conference and keep forwarding those emails to your coworkers and friends and IT buddies. We going to have an awesome conference with such a diverse group of professionals.

I just wanted to let you know that we'll be sending out some surveys in the next few weeks on things like types of food for lunch, snacks, drinks, the need for overnight accommodations, reception info following friday's meeting. Remember this is YOUR conference - Ben and I are just helping to coordinate and facilitate to get things started.

Until our next communication - Happy Testing!!!

Hopefully Ben will let me post again - some day.

FROSST by the Numbers

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Simo) — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0000

We've been reading some hype over the date being 8/8/08. Many consider 8 to be a lucky number. The Olympics stated today on 08/08/08 at 08:08:08 PM.

I am a skeptic when it comes to numbers. When I am presented with numbers and another's conclusion about them, I like to apply Darrell Huff's 5 (not a lucky 7 or 8) questions to talk back to a statistic. These questions help me test the numbers and better understand what they do and do not mean.

Who says so?
How do they know?
What's missing?
Did somebody change the subject?
Does it make sense?

So, now that you are armed with a testing checklist in the form of these 5 questions, here are some numbers about the upcoming FROSST conference.

FROSST starts in 63 days, on 10/10 at 6pm, on 121st Avenue.

FROSST currently has 2 Champion Sponsors (ProtoTest and Current Consulting) and 1 Friend Sponsor (Connected Testing). FROSST is also supported by 2 software tester organizations: SQuAD and AST. There are 2 Champion Sponsor slots remaining. FROSST is organized by ThinkTalkTest, Ltd., a partnership of 2 testers.

FROSST currently has 98 participants registered from 68 companies in 21 Colorado cities, plus locations in 3 other states. Colorado plus 3 make 4; the number of duplicate registrations we had to remove from the rolls. Colorado was the 38th state admitted to the Union; 0n 08/01/1876. Only 7 days later, Thomas Edison received patent 180857 for his autographic printing machine.

The sum of attendee work phone numbers is 84728864327. Colorado has 4 telephone area codes and 557 5-digit ZIP codes. The minimum cost for mailing a letter between these zip codes is 42 cents. I read that the answer is 42. I just haven't figured out the question.

Slightly higher than 42: I'm surprised to learn that 43.97755% of registered participants are Professional Engineers or drive trains. 55.81395 percent of these engineers expressed interest in automation. I would have expected these engineers to be interested in bridges, not test automation. Although they do seem to care more about test automation than the approximately 45.918367346938775510204081632653% of registered attendees that are interested in automation.

Exactly 26% of participants care about Agile testing. The Agile Manifesto contains 4 elements. There are 7 Basic Principles of the Context-Driven Testing School. School crossing signs have 5 sides. Colorado children leave elementary school after the 5th grade.

3 registered FROSST participants are named David. In 1906, the name David was the 31st most popular name given to baby boys in the United States. 100 years later, in 2006, the numbers transposed and David was number 13. The Antlers Hilton, site of CAST 2009, has 13 floors. I think the movie The 13th Floor is really about software testing.

:^P

Add up all these numbers and what do we get ...

FROSST is going to be a great conference
We still need sponsors
Refer your friends and colleagues

Register for FROSST 1 while there's still space.

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Simo) — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 21:10:00 +0000

FROSST 1 registration has exceeded half our goal of 100 participants; and a third of our maximum of 150. Wondering if there are others that want to talk about what matters to you? Take a look at the word cloud below for an idea of what registrants told us they care about. The bigger the word, the more it was used to describe interests during registration.

Word cloud generated by http://wordle.net.

FROSST 1 will be held on October 10th and 11th at Colorado Technical University in Westminster, Colorado -- a few blocks west of I-25 at 120th.

Friday, 10 October, 6pm to 9pm
Saturday, 11 October, 9am to 6pm

The purpose of this conference is to facilitate collaboration amongst software testers in Colorado and beyond. Invite your friends and colleagues.

FROSST is free to all participants. Anyone with something to share or learn about software testing is welcome. Participation is limited to the first 150 testers that sign up. There are now less than 100 spots left. Sign up now to claim a spot.

FROSST is an open space conference. This means that the participants will create the agenda for the conference. This will be done leading up to the event through a Yahoo Group and discussions the first evening of the conference.

FROSST is free due to the support of our generous sponsors. Additional sponsors are still needed. Please contact ThinkTalkTest at sponsor@frosstcon.com and/or click the sponsor link at the top right of http://www.frosstcon.com/ for information about becoming a sponsor.

I enjoy going to testing conferences. While I gain useful information from keynote addresses and track presentations, I usually find that the best part of the conference occurs outside the scheduled activities -- often in the conference hotel bar.

No, the best part is not the beer, nachos, or hot wings.

My favorite part of testing conferences is conferring. (Something that is often left out of the scheduled activities.) I enjoy interacting with colleagues. I enjoy hearing experience reports. I enjoy being challenged. I enjoy challenging others with testing problems. I enjoy learning from other testers. I've often gotten more out of this interaction after the conference activities are over than I get out of the conference.

Front Range Open Space Software Testing

FROSST is an attempt to create an entire conference that facilitates the conferring that usually happens outside scheduled activities. No, this is not a drinking party. This is an opportunity to confer with colleagues about software testing. We desire to create a forum for software testers to share ideas and experiences, discuss new technologies and techniques, ask questions, and learn from one another. FROSST conferences are an attempt to fill the gap left by traditional conferences. We will do this by incorporating Open Space Technology ideas into a conference focused on discussing whatever the participants care about. (See What is Open Space Technology? for more about the format.)

We are close to finalizing a date and location for the first FROSST conference. It will likely be a Friday (evening) and Saturday (all day) in October. We are planning for 100 to 150 participants.

If you would like to participate in the conference, please join the FROSST yahoo group at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/frosstcon. Please tell your software testing friends and colleagues about the conference. Once the date and location are nailed down, we will start accepting registrations.

We plan to keep FROSST free to participants. To do this, we will need the support of sponsors. Sponsorship options are now posted on the FROSST web site at http://www.FROSSTCON.com. (Click the Sponsor link on the top right of the page.) If you, or your company or organization, would like to help by sponsoring or hosting a FROSST conference, please contact us at sponsor@frosstcon.com.

Happy Testing!

Happy July 4th fellow testers

noreply@blogger.com (Heidi HC) — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 04:08:00 +0000

Happy Birthday America!!! (as my daughter would say). I hope this posting finds all of you well on this holiday weekend - hopefully not working. Been there, done that.

Ben and I are working very hard to put together the sponsorship information for the fall FROSST conference and have it ready by early next week. Our goal is to keep the FROSST conference free (yes free) to all participants. We are looking for sponsors to cover the cost of facilities, lunch, snacks, etc. If you know anyone or any of your employers might be interested please let us know. We are hoping, hoping, hoping to have the conference on Sept 19/20. There is only one facility we can find available and we need to figure out how to pay for it in order to reserve it.

Please forward to any IT folks that might have an interest in this conference. The more testers or IT professionals we can get signed up, the better chance we have at getting sponsors, which means the better chance it is free to you.

Announcing FROSST : Front Range Open Space Software Testing Conference

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Simo) — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 13:00:00 +0000

A conference created by testers for testers about testing

As software testers, the founders of this conference believe there is something important missing from most software testing conferences -- conferring. Opportunities for networking and working with peers to share ideas and solve testing problems are rarely built into the schedules of testing conferences.

Testers need a forum to share ideas and experiences, discuss new technologies, ask questions and learn from each other. The goal is for FROSST to help fill the gap left by traditional conferences with an Open Space conference focused on discussion -- discussion about things that are important to the participants. (See What is Open Space Technology? for more about the format.)

FROSST is open to anyone interested in software testing.

Open Space is governed by one law and four principles.

The Law of Two Feet

If at any time you are not learning or contributing, use your two feet and move to something you like.

The Four Principles

Whoever comes is the right people.
Whatever happens is the only thing that could have.
Whenever it starts is the right time.
When it's over it's over.

We are hoping to schedule the first FROSST sometime in the Fall of 2008, in the Denver area. The exact location and time are not yet determined. If you would like to participate, please join our yahoo group at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/frosstcon/. Additional information and updates as plans develop will be posted at http://www.frosstcon.com/.

We would like to make FROSST a free conference for attendees. To do this, we will need the support of sponsors. If you, or your company or organization, would like to help by sponsoring or hosting FROSST, please contact us at sponsor@frosstcon.com.

In keeping with the Open Space format, your ideas for making this a great conference are welcome. If you'd like to get involved, please join the FROSST Yahoo group at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/frosstcon/.

Happy Testing!
