In August of 1993, [[Kent Beck]] and [[Grady Booch]] sponsored a mountain retreat in Colorado, inviting [[Ward Cunningham]], [[Ralph Johnson]], [[Ken Auer]], [[Hal Hildebrand]] and [[Jim Coplien]]. The Group agreed to build on Erich Gamma's work studying object-oriented patterns, but proposed to use patterns in a ''generative'' way, as Christopher Alexander used patterns in architecture, thus distinguishing the creative use of patterns from ''Gamma patterns'', which captured observations. The Group held these discussions on the side of a hill, whence the name. | In August of 1993, [[Kent Beck]] and [[Grady Booch]] sponsored a mountain retreat in Colorado, inviting [[Ward Cunningham]], [[Ralph Johnson]], [[Ken Auer]], [[Hal Hildebrand]] and [[Jim Coplien]].
