<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">So i updated the meeting with renzo's
presentation information. We also have the option of doing a dojo
afterwards, but I think that might be rather ambitious as last time we
had a whole night slated for it and we still ran out of time... let's
just play it by ear. In the meantime RSVP for April 6th's meeting.</font>

Whatever failure occurred in the last dojo was mine alone. The<br>
software problem was one that spiked in complexity quite suddenly.<br>
While that is a natural occurrence in daily practice, combined with<br>
the pressure of 5 minute time-boxes and the fact that this was our<br>
first time out, that was a mistake. We should revisit that in 6<br>
months, after we've been doing this for a while.<br>
<br>
In terms of advice, I'd say pick a well known problem, like Uncle<br>
Bob's bowling kata, and have everybody practice it beforehand. That<br>
takes the surprise out of solving the problem, and lets the dojo focus<br>
on technique, which is really the point of the dojo metaphor.<br>
