#request - does anyone know of any panel services that are affordable? I need some survey participants (200 would be lovely) and quick, because of [swear words while thinking of why]. I'm looking into #mechanicalturk but I don't know if I can get this to happen quickly enough; I have one week.

I need young adults, English speaking (native fluency). North American would be fine, but European is great, too. Maybe near East (e.g., India, Pakistan) if the language fluency is there. Region/nation is less important than the age range and the language ability.

I'd be paying for this out of pocket, and I don't have much money, so hoping I can find inexpensive services somewhere (<<$500 USD? Maybe closer to $200? realizing this might not be possible because I've never looked into this until now). Qualtrics has panels but they're far too expensive for me. I'm googling, but asking here first.

How can #research and #practice in #Agile #Software #Development move closer together?

This question will be at the heart of a dedicated workshop at XP 2025 – and I’m honored to join as a panel participant.

🧩 Workshop title:
"Towards a closer collaboration between practice and research in Agile Software Development – What we learnt; and what not?"

Agile has come a long way since the 1990s – from a niche software development approach to a catalyst for organization-wide transformation.

Yet two persistent gaps remain:
⏳ a time gap between fast-paced change in organizations and the slower pace of academic response
📚 a theory gap regarding long-term adoption and cultural integration

This workshop, led by Michael Neumann, Maria Rauschenberger, Prof. Dr. Eva-Maria Schön, Tiago Silva da Silva, and Mali Senapathi, aims to address both. We’ll explore how to bridge the divide and build a shared, forward-looking agenda for agile research – grounded in both academic insight and lived practice.

💬 The session combines #panel dialogue and hands-on exchange – an invitation to co-create the future of agile transformation together.

I look forward to engaging with fellow researchers and practitioners at #XP #2025. Let’s turn collaboration into impact.

Wir freuen uns sehr, dass die Hütte bereits voll und die Warteliste lang ist! Wenn ihr das nächste Mal auch dabei sein wollt, dann meldet euch rechtzeitig im Otherland (service@otherland-berlin.de) an, damit ihr beim nächsten Mal einen Platz bekommt, wenn es wieder heißt: 4FDZ – 4 Für die Zukunft!

I’ve worked in tech for many years, and one of the events that has been a constant part of the calendar is SXSW. I remember signing up for Twitter back in 2007 just after I heard about it while chatting in Roo Reynolds’ office at IBM, from a visitor who had been at SXSW where it first took off (referenced in a post back over here).

That was nearly 20 years ago now – and in all of that time, I never had the opportunity to go to SXSW for the tech part1 of the festival…

This year, our friends at Flipboard created a side event they called Fediverse House, as a eye-catching label for a series of talks and sessions around the open social web

[yes, it was broader than the Fediverse; some other platforms and topics were represented, too. It was great to be able to talk about the Fediverse]

I was excited to be able to join the event2, and even more so, I was honoured to be asked to join a panel moderated by the wonderful Mia Quagliarello all about building communities on the new social web. I briefly mentioned this trip on the most recent Mastodon blog post update for our updates during March, but I’m now able to include more about the content here.

Here’s the video of our panel discussion, available on Flipboard’s PeerTube – or, on YouTube for those of you that are not yet Fediverse-enabled, or who want to watch on your TV or something 🙂 I hope I did an OK job, representing the good people of the different communities on the Fediverse. I know that my own experience and perspective is not a universal one and I do my best to reflect that when I talk about our spaces.

As well as this panel, the event included some fantastic talks from folks such as Molly White and Cory Doctorow (clips are on PeerTube); it gave me an opportunity to learn more about the ATProto ecosystem from chatting with the nice folks from Bluesky; I was able to meet writers from one of the best publications on the web today, 404 Media; and, it also provided a chance to spend time IRL with friends from the Fediverse – including the excellent Jeff Sikes, and also people I greatly respect and appreciate from WeDistribute, Sean and Damon.

Anyway… I still haven’t actually been to SXSW 😄

This year, I did something better than that. Thank you to the Flipboard team for all your work in putting Fediverse House together!

  1. I was in Austin one year during the music festival, and managed to get to a couple of sessions, but I wasn’t in town specifically for the event, that was a surprise bonus. ↩︎
  2. Thank you to the Social Web Foundation for making my trip to Austin possible. ↩︎
