Our 2nd talk of the evening - What is a research repository and why have one? #bhxd

[Nick Harewood @spacescape]

The stoke remains high at @XDBrum with @KainosXD Researchers and UX designers talking through their experience of practical experiment to create a research repository - best use of Jira I've ever seen ❤️
Capturing and cataloguing User Needs from 60+ rounds of research - awesome.

[Nick Harewood @spacescape]

So stoked to have @pixelherder at @XDBrum tonight, sharing his insights on #DesignOps as implemented at @383project
Fantastically wide ranging and detailed view, covering the many varied aspects. #BHXD

Lots of energy and enthusiasm from Ellie and Tom from @BTGroup - buzzing for the return of in-person #UserResearch in their shiny new research labs. Great for the wider @XDBrum UCD community to have that investment advancing the practice in the city and region #XDBrum

[Nick Harewood @spacescape]

Lots of really pertinent tips from @racheleightfive for running UCD communities of practice. Great principles to start with, and useful reminders for those already up and running #BHXD @XDBrum

[Nick Harewood @spacescape]

Great reflections from @racheleightfive on the importance of sharing knowledge (and therefore the power inherent) within and beyond communities of practice @XDBrum #BHXD

[Nick Harewood @spacescape]

@LouDowne Ah takes me back - IIRC I needed to complete one to avoid being taxed twice on work done for a US client. Only enjoyable part was the necessity of a trip in person to the old US embassy, which while inconvenient was also fascinating. Also Obama was in office, so happier times...

[Nick Harewood @spacescape]

Great 1st event for @oursmartbrum - loved the thread throughout the talks of technology innovation enabling decentralisation and in turn empowering individuals and communities from the bottom up. Many learning moments. Brain food matched by the quality catering from Dhalings too.

[Nick Harewood @spacescape]

Last call for our @KainosXD event at 12:30 today. Come, bring your lunch! #WeAreHiring

@misterunderwood My beef with e-bikes is the impact on the sustainability of mountain bike trails. Reduces self regulation through fitness, higher amounts of traffic impacts both natural trails and conflict with other users. Combined with continued growth of the sport makes me worried for future.

[Nick Harewood @spacescape]

@misterunderwood In that context I fully agree. Concerns remain about environmental impact of battery production but that's isn't specifically an e-bike thing by any means. Love that they enable those who otherwise wouldn't be able/willing to switch to or stick with pedal power.

@misterunderwood Google tells me that you were in exactly the right vicinity. And yes - go-kart track and stock car race track that has adapted to cater for drift scene which accounts for the cacophony
