Abstract

Code review can be wonderful, helpful and incredibly daunting. This talk looks at how you can do code reviews for your project without provoking your fight-or-flight instincts. We'll quickly gloss over why you should do code reviews in order to focus on the social dynamics of how code gets reviewed, particularly in open source projects. After all, part of what makes open source so great (and sometimes intimidating!) is that your code gets eyeballed by experts around the globe.

Uni Fellowship alumnus, James Brinkhoff, tells his story "A Journey from self-focussed to Christ-centred spirituality" on alumnus Joe Towns' blog Talking Pentecostalism. A turning point in James' story was the Uni Fellowship (then FOCUS) Mid Year Conference: "To my shock, I was the one who was changed. I was the one who came away with a new zeal and a heart bursting with a new understanding of what God's will is. God was pleased to enlighten the eyes of my heart, and in a way and with a depth I had never known before. Aside from my conversion, that conference on the Spirit was the biggest event in my Christian life."
