Thanks David for a great recap of the open spaces event (Boise Open Spaces Recap).  I just wanted to add a couple things.

There were many great topics suggested for discussion.  Unfortunately, there was not enough time to take them all.  We voted and ones discussed included:

• ORMs
• Teaching ORM
• Which ones (other then .net)
• Roles on a team
• Non-coding architects.  What to do when you are pulled farther from the code?
• The problem of the distant product owner.  How to deal with it?
• Testing
• How to get an organization to do TDD?
• Unit tests.  How to do on legacy code base?
• Testing in an agile environment.  Techniques, tools, etc
• Domain Driven Design

Those that we were unable to get to, but still great topics, included:

• Dynamic Language Features.  Duck typing, ext methods, etc  Good, bad?
• Error handling techniques
• Model/View/ViewModel

Again, many thanks to all who participated.  There were great discussions.

We will set these up once a quarter.  If you have any feedback on the session, venue, discussion, etc please send it my way. 

See you next quarter (first Tuesday in September timeframe)!!!
