David Bolton Strikes Again

Yesterday I hosted a small team of programmers in our first Crossroads sprint — a day of working through issues the dedicated team at the Crossroads charity in Hong Kong have found in using some of their internal systems.  The idea being that as Rails experts, we could donate some of our time each month to helping our friends in Hong Kong out.

Brad, Adam, Nick and myself (with Matt and Steve online at Crossroads to answer our questions) spent most of the day getting setup and working on some small issues, that gave us a good introduction to the system and the coding approach over at Crossroads, and coordinating with the ThoughtWorks product Mingle, we were able to resolve several issues.

All in all, a good start to our relationship with the Crossroads team.  It felt fulfilling to be donating our time to such a worthy cause.
