AndreasLarsson

“Playing Coach” at Responsive Development Technologies.

Started CodersDojoSweden with ThomasNilsson after XP2006 confernce in Oulo, Finland. Got hooked on the idea after a midnight sun coding session!

We have run our dojo since then in Linköping, Sweden. We have also tried the concept at out customer companies with great results.

Presented the BowlingKata together with ThomasNilsson as a prepared Kata at a workshop in XP2009 in Sardinia, Italy, that was organised by EmilyBache .

BenSanders

I’m a developer at YouDevise (www.youdevise.com) in London. I’ve wanted to attend a dojo for quite some time, but couldn’t make it to any (Brighton is a bit hard on a weeknight). I recently started one at our company, and the first one went so well that others clamored to run the subsequent ones. Good times.

I can be reached at ben.sanders@youdevise.com.

We have write-ups of various dojo’s we have run on our blog at https dev.youdevise.com/YDBlog /

EmmanuelGaillot

Emmanuel is one of the founders of the ParisDojo . He’s been attending most of the sessions since December 2004, date of its creation, and he actively participates in shaping the Dojo, both as a concept and an organization. He’s presented the Dojo and its work at various conferences with the help of LaurentBossavit and ChristopheThibaut – among others.

Emmanuel is more specifically interested in the performative aspects of the Dojo – what happens when someone develop in public repeatedly the same piece of code – and how it links to theatrical performance theory. He’d like to see the programmer’s job more linked to performing and storytelling, and he believes a CodingDojo is the right place to share this way of thinking.

Étienne Charignon

Software developer in Paris, France.

I discovered the coding dojo with the first group of practitioners in Paris where I went on a regular basis from 2006 to 2008. Among many participations, I had the idea of the MasterMind that I presented at the dojo and in a conference (in french) with the help of EmmanuelGaillot.

IvanSanchez

I’m a simple software developer. Ok, software development may not be a simple thing, but I believe there are too much people trying to complicate it today, and that’s why I consider myself also an Agile fan.

In the last few years I’ve been working in agile projects (mostly ExtremeProgramming ) acting as programmer, coach, trainer, mentor and manager. In 2006, after a first contact with the concept of CodingDojo described in the HelsinkiDojo wiki, I started the FloripaDojo in Florianópolis, Brazil.

JohannaHunt

I’m a researcher, looking at communication in agile teams, based in Brighton, UK.

I was fascinated by the Coding Dojo after hearing about it at XP2006 in Finland - especially how dojos might help for learning programming. I subsequently contacted the people behind the Paris Coding Dojo to get some tips before setting up a small group, the BrightonDojo in Brighton, UK last year. The Brighton Group has now been running fortnightly for a year and is still going strong.

LasseKoskela

I’m a consultant, coach and trainer, based in Helsinki, Finland. Most of my paying work is related to helping clients in rolling out and running agile methods such as ScruM and ExtremeProgramming , or developer-oriented techniques such as TestDrivenDevelopment .

I got involved in this wiki after getting contacted by IvanSanchez who in turn contacted me because I’ve been somewhat active with introducing the CodingDojo concept in Finland. Having said that, MarkusHjort and PekkaEnberg have been the leading figures around these parts and I’ve been mostly just watching from the sidelines :)

In time he’d also like to start PerthDojo . He occasionally goes by the name of Wolfbyte. Talking about himself in the third-person make him feel weird.

So I’ll quit it.

UncleBob

WillemVanDenEnde

I develop software on-and-off (coaching clients on test driven development), first ran a coding dojo at Agile Open, and then t the BBC, as a way to let developers experience Test Driven Development with a minimal amount of explanation (we even developed part of the test framework during the day). After that I’ve started to incorporate dojo forms more and more into courses and conference sessions. Great to run, great to participate in.
