Weekly Events Update - Tuesday 26th July

Apologies for the late post, unfortunately sometimes actual development gets in the way.

Last week

The Disruptor was nominated for the 2011 Java Innovation Awards.

We made a change to the application which means that FX trading is now only shut down for 5 minutes after 10pm, instead of 30 minutes.

A team of LMAX cyclists completed the London to Cambridge Bike Ride, raising money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer, and no-one (from our team) died.

Nominated for three UK Agile Awards

We're excited to announce that we've been nominated for an Agile award in three categories:

• Best Agile Team
• Most Agile Aware Organisation
• Most Engaged Management Team
  

Using agile techniques is important to the way we deliver business value as fast as possible, so it's nice to get a little recognition in this area.

Weekly Events Update - Monday 4th July

Last week

We made a number of tweaks to the Disruptor, with some improvements to the code and some changes to the website, and there are now a number of blog posts explaining sections of it.

There has also been work on two .NET versions of it: one on github and one on Google code.  We're pretty excited about them and interested to see the results.
