I, with the help of my colleagues, ran a BDT workshop in vodQA - Get, Set,Test! at Bangalore on 18th May 2013.
It was a very intense workshop, and challenging for us to execute as well for various reasons:
- When we had run this workshop as part of vodQA Geek Night in July 2012, we had the opportunity to have a couple of dry runs - which allowed us to fine tune the content + pace ourselves better
- The vodQA Geek Night session was 2.5-3 hours in duration
- This time around, for vodQA Bangalore, all volunteers driving the workshop were in different locations. After the workshop was selected for this vodQA, we all met face-2-face directly on the day of the event. So there was no question of a dry run before the event
- The duration of the workshop this time around was 1.5 hours.
Despite all the challenges, I think we managed to deliver a good, solid content workshop and all the participants seemed very engaged, and there were a lot of good discussions.
Here are all the photos from vodQA - Get, Set, Test!
The slides used in the workshop are available here. Videos will follow soon.
