Hi Eric, Once upon a time, when I was a hiring manager, I looked for three things during an interview: passion, personality and skills. Of the three, only ...

Hi Eric, You have touched on a really important point and one that greatly affects many scrum teams. Overall communication style and team fit will always ...
Oh c'mon - don't folk have anything more important/fulfilling to do than get noses out of joint on something like this? The Scrum Alliance is not (AFAIK) big...
... I'm glad that I hold a "Scrum Lunch and Learn" and didn't call it a "Scrum User Group." No letters for me! I was a member of the Orlando Scrum User Group,...
... I find this type of behaviour to be quite alarming, mike. Not to mention that I find your reaction even more alarming. This is not about the SA trying to...
I come from the "XP world", which is often derided as being dogmatic and fanatical (in some isolated cases, that is indeed warranted). One thing it definitely...
Good chat with Cory this morning and we have received a number of great suggestions on how best to service and support Scrum User Groups. We recognize that for...
Hi Alan, I don't believe Linus Torvalds has created a logo for the Linux user groups either. There is of course, Tux, but that is a logo for all things Linux,...

Hey can you also get a link to one of the clubs that is run by a company that doesn't qualify? You can share that off list... but I want to know where the line...

(responding to Alan) ... Hmm... okay, but it worries me that the SA don't seem to have addressed the root causes of the last similar event. They don't...
... Many, many times I have watched two engineers discuss strongly (argue?) opposing opinions only to eventually find that they agree and were simply coming to...
Hi Alan, ... I don't think that happens just by itself. And frankly, I don't see any indication that someone at the SA is willing to take responsibility for...
... I'm not sure, either. If I was part of the leadership of the SA, I'd probably inquire to try to find out. The jumping to conclusions, and the rejection of...
llja, Perhaps you missed this post above in the thread from yesterday: Re: Follow up to the recent trademark incident Good chat with Cory this morning and we...
Hi Ilja, ... Actually, if you look at my last post to the group, I said that Jim explicitly said to me on the phone that they had made a mistake, and that they...
It would have been wise of the SA to cast their intent in terms other than heavy-handed, dictatorial, and threatening. /r A. Ramsay Ashburn VA ... From: Cory...
