The developer sprints in Randa are officially over. I spent my
first full day at home today, and it feels almost odd to be in my
quiet office after all the energized atmosphere we got there during
a full week.
Anyway, remember the
[Platform11 Kanban](http://ervin.ipsquad.net/2011/06/04/sticky-notes-markers-and-chocolate-platform-11-in-randa/)
we setup on the first day? Well, here is how it looked on the last
night:

I think we made "some" progress. And that's not counting the
technical tasks which got handled in a separate Kanban. If we had
another day I wonder where we would have put the done tasks. As you
might notice on the picture above we simply reached the floor in
the "Done" column. :-)

So, is everything said and done now? Well, not really, what we did
really was putting into motion the on-going effort which will lead
us to the first iteration of the KDE Frameworks. We tried to create
the tracks in Randa, and I'm looking forward to get on the train
for this exciting journey!

It almost feel like forever since I blogged last. Turns out that
I'm on the road again for a KDE event and so it's the right time to
open my blog and take a few minutes to write something.
I'm sitting in a large house in Randa as I took some time to attend
the Platform 11 sprint. It seems to become a small tradition in the
sprints I attend to setup a
[Kanban](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanban_(development)) to keep
track of what we're doing. Since this sprint is about giving some
love and direction to our frameworks offering, I also used the
opportunity to experiment with a couple of
[Innovation Games](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innovation_game).
The aim of those games was to facilitate the brainstorming groups
we had on the first day. We broke out the output of those groups
into discussion topics that we track in our Kanban, I think the
result is really telling:

What you can probably imagine from that wall is that we have a lot
of ground to cover. So far it's going on at a nice pace, I'll
probably make another picture at the end of the sprint. We also
have some smaller somewhat individual technical tasks that we're
tracking in a smaller specific Kanban, I might take a picture of
that one as well later on.
We obviously had some very important discussions already, so we
have interesting preliminary results... But I won't talk about that
today, the paint is still fresh on them and we probably need to
consolidate all of that at the light of discussions yet to come.
If you like our frameworks already, or if you were too shy to
really use them: stay tuned for more awesomeness and love coming to
them!
