Unser Sponsor msgGillardon war am 28. Mai mit einem Workshop zu
Kanban-Systemen bei uns zu Gast. Bei agilen Entwicklungsmethoden wird auch besonders auf Effizienz geachtet werden, sodass keine Ressource ungenutzt bleibt. Es wird also nur beim Vorgänger im Produktionsfluss angefragt, wenn eine Nachfrage besteht. Dies wird im Prinzip auch bei Scrum eingesetzt. Erst wenn ein Team seine Aufgaben in einem Sprint erledigt hat, bekommen sie Neue. Der Scrum Master ist in diesem Fall der Kanban-Regelungskreis und regelt die Arbeitslast zwischen Team und Product Owner.
This year, again as part of the Campusfest, our 6. Eggdrop Contest
recently took place. Despite of rainy weather in the afternoon of May 23 14 teams took the challenge of constructing a device called “Eggdropper” to protect a raw egg from breaking while falling from a height of 20 meters onto the ground. To lift the Eggdroppers into the air a turntable ladder was used which was provided by the volunteer fire department of Passau which also allowed the participants to enjoy the view of Passau from above.

On 2015-01-15 our members Max and Sibi showed the JavaScript framework “AngularJS” to us. It’s a framework to create so called Single Page Applications, developed by Google and a huge community.
Using simple examples of how the framework could be used, they showed us how to use AngularJS (the slides are available on Github). Only view additions to the normal HTML code are needed to create some awesome dynamic effects.
