This looks interesting, but am I looking at Google Plus correctly and really not seeing an 'Add to calendar' option to put this event on my gmail calendar? I could have sworn Google was really good about making it easy to put stuff on their calendar. Yeesh.

Some Background:

The RailsConf keynote that started it all: http://www.confreaks.com/videos/3315-railsconf-keynote-writi...

David's thoughts in blog post form: http://david.heinemeierhansson.com/2014/tdd-is-dead-long-liv...

A response from Kent Beck https://www.facebook.com/notes/kent-beck/rip-tdd/75084019494...

This should be a great discussion.

There's a big "are you going to watch?" pane underneath the main header with Yes, Maybe or No options. That seems to do the trick to add it to my calendar.

Just say you are attending and it automatically adds it to your calendar.

Odd--what if I don't want to tell the world that I'm attending?

We have:

Kent Beck who "doesn't care any more what people practice or do w.r.t to TDD" because he uses it as he sees the needs/fits.

Martin Fowler who tries to further his catalogue by incorporating newer patterns/methodologies/techniques (REST, NoSQL, NodeJS, MicroServices) that potentially sees "TDD" as "been there, catalogued that, time to see other patterns"

and last but not least, DHH, who just recently came out to the public and made an announcement that "I don't do TDD anymore!".

Missing from the group: Uncle Bob, someone who will potentially argue that TDD is useful.

Come on guys! We want Uncle Bob there! Let's make this happen.

I think that's a fair point. Generally, I like to put things on _my_ calendar and _my_ calendar only.
