Doing the Rounds
| December 13, 2010 | Posted by Karl Beecher under Agile methods, Research |
(This is an old draft article that I rediscovered.) A while ago, while obtaining my regular fix of Ben Goldacre’s pronouncements over at the Bad Science blog, something Ben had had cause briefly to explain lodged into my mind. In a mere couple of sentences, Ben explained what a “grand round” is in the world… read more
Kent Beck Meets Saros
| November 20, 2010 | Posted by Karl Beecher under Agile methods, Saros |
On Friday 19th, a few colleagues and I had a very pleasant Skype chat with Kent Beck. He had been trying to get our tool Saros working, so he could pair program JUnit with his fellow authors, but came stuck on a couple of networking issues. So, we conducted a Saros session with him, helped… read more
Beginner's Guide to Saros
| July 30, 2010 | Posted by Karl Beecher under Agile methods, Saros |
The kind fellows at the Planet Eclipse community have consented to aggregate this blog as a resource for the dissemination of information on Saros. They have recommended that I author a post to serve as a beginner’s guide. To that end, I’ve put together a new static page about Saros. Enjoy. read more

On Friday, the Software Engineering Workgroup of Freie Universität delivered the latest release of Saros, the Eclipse plug-in that enables you to use the editor to perform distributed party programming.

ICSE 2010 is over. Those lucky enough to have gone have had their reward of first dibs on the material presented, so now I can present a brief summary of the paper that we in the Software Engineering group at Freie Universität produced for that conference. The paper is both a way of announcing Saros… read more
(Not) Going to ICSE
| April 9, 2010 | Posted by Karl Beecher under Agile methods, Research |
My colleagues and I recently had a paper accepted to the CHASE workshop (Cooperative and Human Aspects of Software Engineering) at ICSE 2010. The programme details are now available. ICSE 2010 is in Cape Town, South Africa this year, which makes me all the more sad that I can’t go. The presentation of the paper… read more
New Features Take Saros from Strength to Strength
| March 29, 2010 | Posted by Karl Beecher under Agile methods, Saros |
The latest version of Saros (10.3.26), released last Friday, was quite an important one, because it provides the application with features that vastly reduce the need for other complimentary applications. In short, the Saros feature set has grown so as to make it a largely self-contained application. Let me furnish you with a brief guide… read more
An Introduction to Saros
| November 25, 2009 | Posted by Karl Beecher under Agile methods, Saros |
I feel as though I am almost completely adjusted and acclimatised to my new surroundings, and furthermore I am now becoming fully immersed in my new work here at the Free University of Berlin (FU). Therefore, I think I can begin to introduce the new work I am now part of. My research concerns have… read more
