SUMMARY:August 2019 Meetup
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of fun\, great discussions and beer & pi
 zza.\n\nWe'll start off with the food and the drinks at 6.30pm.\n\nTalk 1:
  Software Engineering in 100 Years Time by Dave Farley\, Continuous Delive
 ry Ltd\n\nIf we were to more clearly define our discipline what would that
  look like? If “Software Engineering” is real “Engineering” then t
 he principles should be long-lasting\, durable and probably unsurprising.\
 n\nWhat sort of ideas will be as true of “Software Engineering” in 100
  years time as they are today?\n\nWhat are the foundations on which we cou
 ld begin to build a true Engineering discipline for our profession?\n\nThi
 s talk explores some of those ideas and describes why Continuous Delivery 
 may be the best starting point that we have for that.\n\nDave Farley is a 
 thought-leader in the field of Continuous Delivery\, DevOps and Software D
 evelopment in general.\nHe is co-author of the Jolt-award winning book 'Co
 ntinuous Delivery' a regular conference speaker and blogger and one of the
  authors of the Reactive Manifesto.\n\nDave has been having fun with compu
 ters for over 30 years has worked on most types of software\, from firmwar
 e\, through tinkering with operating systems and device drivers\, to writi
 ng games\, and commercial applications of all shapes and sizes. He started
  working in large scale distributed systems more than 25 years ago\, doing
  research into the development of loose-coupled\, message-based systems - 
 a forerunner of MicroService architectures.\n\nDave has a wide range of ex
 perience leading the development of complex software in teams\, both large
  and small\, in the UK and USA. Dave was an early adopter of agile develop
 ment techniques\, employing iterative development\, continuous integration
  and significant levels of automated testing on commercial projects from t
 he early 1990s.\n\nDave is the former Head of Software development at LMAX
  Ltd\, home of the OSS Disruptor\, a company that are well known for the e
 xcellence of their code and the exemplary nature of their development proc
 ess.\n\nDave is now an independent software developer and consultant\, and
  founder and director of Continuous Delivery Ltd.\n\nContact:\nTwitter: @d

 \, Technical Director at Thoughtworks\n\nRecent research summarised in the
  book Accelerate points to a set of practices that lead to high software d
 evelopment organisation performance. Simultaneously\, research from the Sa
 nta Fe institute on Complex Adaptive Systems over the last 20 years seems 
 to point to a grand unified theory of organisational design. So have we cr
 acked it? Do we now have the answer to the question: how do we create and 
 scale high performing software and organisations? In his talk\, James expl
 ores this research and takes a look at the surprising links between micros
 ervices\, elephants\, London and companies.\n\nMeetup Retro - An opportuni
 ty to get feedback on what went well\, and what you'd like to see next tim
