Agile2007 Retrospective
Thurs October 11, 2007
4.30 - 6.30 pm
O'Shaughnessy Science Hall (OSS) Room 230
Univeristy of Saint Thomas
Saint Paul, MN
-------------------------------
ABSTRACT
The Agile2007 conference happened in Washington, DC in August. A number of OTUG members attended--some even presented--and several of them will be on hand to speak to what they saw and heard, as well as to answer audience questions about the state of agile from the conference vantage point.
-------------------------------
LOGISTICS
As discussed in Spring 2007, we are trying a new, earlier meeting time in the 2007-2008 year, beginning at 4:30 instead of 6:30. This avoids conflict with UST evening classes, so that more students can attend. It also mean attendees with days jobs can drive to UST before peak rush hour.
4:00 - 4:30 Socializing and Set-Up
4:30 - 6:30 Disucussion
BOOK GIVEAWAY
Copies of panelists' books will be given away to lucky audience members.
