The #ICSA2022 “Most Influential Paper” Award goes to R. Nord, @ipekozkaya, @pbpk, and Marco Gonzalez-Rojas for the WICSA/ECSA 2012 paper “In Search of a Metric for Managing Architectural Technical Debt”. https://t.co/bWOnEmJHeS Our heartfelt congratulations to the authors!

[ICSA 2025 @ICSAconf]

#ICSA2021 just started! Today it's #workshops' day, with exciting talks and discussion on software architecture for #quantum software, #blockchain, and #automotive systems! You can still register and attend the workshops/full conference on #Whova! https://t.co/mkvpo3THa4

[Paris Avgeriou @PAvgeriou]

I will be running a Working Session on #architecture #TechnicalDebt next week @ICSAconf with @pbpk and @eltjopoort. If you have any 🔥burning🔥 questions (esp. not related to SonarQube😊) let us know. We will make the results public afterwards.

New paper on Architectural Technical Debt with @r_verdecchia, @IMalavolta, and @patricia_lago.
Read at https://t.co/yck12ICTo7 It’s Open Access. Special thanks to Roberto, who did all the heavy lifting.

A personal project: revisiting figures from a 1967 book which has had a big influence on how I (and others!) think about data visualization, Jacques Bertin's Semiology of Graphics. https://t.co/yCNVHtMibi

Very good!

Does working on open-source data visualization tools all day sound like a dream job to you like it does to me? Come join my team at @plotlygraphs: I'm looking for a Graphing Libraries Developer to work almost exclusively on open-source features! https://t.co/3R7UPebLeg

It's a big day for https://t.co/f9fr5eV1pF ! 🚀 With version 4.8 of Plotly for Python, Plotly Express is no longer limited to "tidy" long-form data, and now accepts wide-form and mixed-form data, plus it offers a Pandas plotting backend! https://t.co/E3W0nLiURQ

We're looking for great experience report proposals for both XP 2018 and Agile 2018 conferences. See https://t.co/L0OgMorMBF

I'm asking all my tweet buddies to help spread the word. Sharing your experiences by writing a report is a great way to give back to the agile community.
