James Ward gave a great presentation on Heroku. The server of choice for Facebook developement. He commented on some attendees not being familiar with all the buzzwords he used. So we thought of a Buzzword Bingo game.
I think having a handout with the most common buzzwords especially any the speaker is likely to use would be useful. I have always thought having a handout about the speaker and topic would be a good idea. I have never had the time to actually create such a useful document though.
Expand on this thought a bit to make it fun. Create a bingo card with each square being a likely buzzword. Include in the square a definition of the word. Hand out pennies as bingo tokens. As the attendees hear each buzzword they cover the box with a penny. First one to bingo gets a prize.
The card gives the attendees something to refer to to help them figure out what the speaker is saying.

What a great idea, Dan. Maybe we can do this at the next GatorJUG meeting.

According to Tiani Jones, leaders should work on the system rather than in the system and create the conditions for the development and sustainment of good patterns in software organisations.
