Testers' Island Discs Ep42 - Drew Pontikis

In the final island broadcast of 2020, Drew Pontikis floats by to build upon last episode’s discussions around shaping quality culture within your organisation, and how you can help by developing communities of practice. We touch upon Drew’s experiences with starting the Ministry of Testing Peterborough meetup group, with some top tips on how to create a group from scratch, including some valuable advice about not losing your passwords. As we’re feeling festive, there’s also a bit of chat about so-bad-they’re-good films, we look back on 2020 and forward to 2021, and Neil makes the sort of promise that you shouldn’t make on a publicly-available podcast. (Note that Neil has since realised that his own Beatles anecdote actually related to “When I’m Sixty-Four”, rather than the song being discussed on the podcast, but it was too good to leave out!)
