Getting a community together during a saturday afternoon. Sunny afternoon. How easy is that? Not easy, but we can always find people interested in learning, teaching and sharing ideas about entrepreneurship. We did all this with NoSummit, a self-organizing event that happened during September 22nd, in cities around Brazil.

But wait… why are you writing in English, about an event from Porto Alegre? Well, we did most of the event talking in English! Thanks to Max Lincoln from ThoughtWorks NY office, who helped to organize the event, we were able to practice English during our afternoon!

Actually I must give a big “clap clap” time to Mario Areias, Max, Paulo Caroli and ThoughtWorks Brazil. TW is always there to help the community to get together and deliver great networking time.

I sent this tweet after finishing the event. It was a great time, with our people discussing different aspects of entrepreneurship, innovation, agile, building products and services, understanding startups and lean startup concepts.

In the end, some people asked for references. So I will leave here some places to continue the conversation:

• To read more, I suggest this link from one of my workshops, with lots of cool links to books, articles and blogs.
• To check new events related to the topic, and related news, sign up to our facebook group. I also send reference to events using my twitter @dwildt.
• The Google Group where people interested in Startup world can share knowledge.

Here are some other pictures.
