The next OpenSource .NET Exchange will take place in the Crypt on the green in Central London on July 16th, starting at 6:30 PM. Get involved and propose a talk! We like to hear people speak about their favourite programming tools, present experience reports or discuss ideas that they are passionate about. To propose a talk, send a talk title, short description (1-2 paragraphs) and your bio to gojko@neuri.com. Send your proposals by 15th of May.

OpenSource .NET Exchange is a community meeting of .NET enthusiasts held twice a year as part of monthly Skills Matter OpenSource .NET evenings. The Exchange is aimed to be a larger event
where people from the community can network and exchange ideas. The official programme consists of 6 lightning talks (15-minutes each) focused on opensource .NET tools and progressive .NET practices, followed by lots of community time for mingling (and if we find sponsors
free beer and pizza). The previous event in January attracted more than 200 people. (see the event page and reviews
for more information on the previous event). For more information on
Skills Matter Opensource .NET evenings, see

Thanks to everyone who came in yesterday to my talk “What is FitNesse and should I use it”. You can download the slides from here http://gojko.net/resources/whatisfitnesse.pdf.

This is the last call to sign up for a free talk titled “What is FitNesse and should I use it?”, taking place tomorrow (monday) evening in central London. there are still a few open places and if you want to learn about FitNesse and how it helps with acceptance test driven development, sign up on http://skillsmatter.com/event/open-source-dot-net/what-is-fitnesse-and-should-i-use-it

I’ll be talking about acceptance testing in general, how fitnesse helps with that, when and how to use it and the most common ways that people misuse it.

Here is the video from my recent presentation “SLIM and the future of FitNesse”. In this talk, I introduce SLIM, the new FitNesse test runner, compare it to FIT and demonstrate its basic features. You can also download the slides

Here’s a video from my presentation “Games in the cloud” from Skills Matter late last month. The talk is an experience report from one of my recent projects, a multiplayer casino deployed in the cloud and built on top of a processing grid. I cover architectural challenges, benefits of the infrastructure and surprises.
