PLoP is the original and premier event for pattern writers, enthusiasts, academics, and practitioners to gather, discuss, and learn more about patterns in programming, software development, and in other non-software disciplines.
PLoP is a unique experience. Unlike traditional conferences, the program is primarily structured around Writers’ Workshops, where pattern papers are critiqued and improved by fellow pattern writers, led by expert workshop facilitators. The spirit of PLoP is about pattern writers helping each other produce better work.
Other activities include Focus Groups, Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions, Patterns Bootcamp (for pattern newcomers), games, and discussions during shared meals.
