Hi lists.

Apologies if anyone has been getting mails bounced by the dev list. There
was a problem with the codehaus mail servers which is fixed now. Please try
again if you had a message returned.

Also Joe Walnes is a well-known spambot based on the original Eliza system
that takes keywords like JBehave and squirrel and crafts them into
seemingly human sentences. Apologies that the Gnome, as this particular
variant is known, managed to infiltrate the JBehave dev list.

Thanks,
Dan

 landed on the keyboard of a console that was already logged in to the
 codehaus web interface. 9 months later, I found myself subscribed to
 this list.

 What's JBehave?

[jbehave-dev] Hello lists

2008-10-16 Thread Dan North
Hi all.

The JBehave dev and user lists have been running for a long time, and I'm
sure there are several long-time lurkers on the list as well as a few new
faces popping up now that JBehave 2 is out.

It would be great if you could send a short message introducing yourself to
the list (long-time lurkers, new faces, dev team, spambots), and especially
to let us know how you are finding JBehave 2 and where you would like it to
go next.

Cheers,
Dan


I'll start:

My name is Dan, I'm a trouble-maker (they call it consultant but what do
they know?) with a technology consultancy called ThoughtWorks, where I like
to get involved with agile coaching, arcitecture, programming and
hand-waving-at-conferences. I've been involved in IT for about 20 years and
I'm realising more and more that getting people talking with each other is
far more effective at getting good software delivered than any tooling or
technology.

For the past five years I've been banging on about Behaviour-Driven
Development, which is really about getting people interacting and getting
the words right so they can work together. It's also about defining when we
are Done so we can get to the pub quicker (aka Beer-Driven Development).


So who are you and how would you like to see JBehave evolve?
