Michael, as a "Friend of AgilePhilly Vendor", we do not mind putting
your name and functions out to the membership.
=20
And like yourself, we can think about packaging this up in a digestible
form so as to not bother those who do not like adverts. (They would
point to Brazil and Chicago events.) Is there a signup link that we
could include in our announcement emails? That might be the best way to
invite & encourage the membership to use your info.
We could also put that signup link on the wiki, under a "Recommended by
Our Members . . . " page.
=20
What do the other coordinators think?

ThoughtWorks Perspectives | July 2009=20
________________________________
Hi Michael,=20
In this issue we have pulled together a wide variety of upcoming events,
articles, recent presentations on film, and blogs - a selection of
recent ideas from many ThoughtWorkers which we hope you will find
useful.=20
Please do join us for this month's webinar, The Agile PMO: Real Time
Metrics - more details below.=20

Webinar: The Agile PMO: Real Time Metrics | Ross Pettit
Tuesday, 14 July, 12:00 CDT (Chicago), 18:00 GMT (London), 22:30 IST
(Bangalore)=20
The most important IT initiatives - those that are subject to the
greatest level of scrutiny - still crater late in their delivery cycle.
These failures expose the "PMO divide" - the gap between the
effort-based metrics PMOs commonly use to measure success, and the
results based indicators they should rely on.=20
* Using requirements - not abstractions - as gatekeepers=20
* Transparency - How can the PMO get unambiguous line-of-sight
into the project=20
* Metrics - We need real-time information. What is signal and
what is just noise?=20
* Collection - How to collect project data efficiently, so that
it's not a burden to the team.
Full event details and register for the webinar here.

Webinar: DSL Construction Using Ruby | Harshal Hayatnagarkar & Rohan
Kini
Wednesday, 8 July, 8:00 CDT (Chicago), 14:00 GMT (London), 18:30 IST
(Bangalore)=20
Simplicity, ease of use, clean syntax and clear semantics are the
characteristics of a good DSL that enables users to focus on the
problem. It is non-trivial to define, develop and maintain a DSL,
especially using traditional compiler techniques. The Ruby programming
language solves this issue to a certain extent.=20
* Fundamentals of DSLs=20
* Introduction of Ruby features for writing DSLs=20
* Writing a DSL - The speakers' experience, with examples=20
* Challenges and issues

Three Key Technologies to point out to your client | Aaron Erickson=20
Functional Programming - Cloud Computing - Rich Internet Applications in
combo with User Experience. When applied appropriately, these three key
technologies can help clients reduce cost, reduce risk, and capitalize
on new market opportunities. In this article
<http://connect.thoughtworks.com/g/?NQ23XPKSQY:HEPPT3I3UT=3DssID:461200548
,email:mmccorma@...> , Aaron Erickson, author of The
Nomadic Developer, suggests discussing these three popular technologies
with clients.=20
________________________________
Arbitrary Modeling Language | Neal Ford=20
UML (Unified Modeling Language) is a failure because it is too technical
for non-technical people and not technical enough for technical people.
It also encourages Big Design Up Front. AML (Arbitrary Modeling
Language) is both more common and more useful; it's the simple lines and
drawings on white boards that developers create as transient artifacts.
Neal Ford expands on these concepts in his Meme Agora blog

Think Before You Speak | Steven "Doc" List=20
"What we've got here is failure to communicate." Remember that line
from Cool Hand Luke? It's something experienced facilitator, Steven
List, keeps in mind when working with development teams, particularly
Agile teams. In this article
<http://connect.thoughtworks.com/g/?NQ23XPKSQY:QX80JHUPRN=3DssID:461200548
,email:mmccorma@...> Steven outlines effective
communication that will help yield better results, improve productivity,
and enhance team cohesion.=20
