Hi,

Happy 2012!

As I have mentioned last time that we'll have a new meet-up agenda this year, I like to describe it here so that you can anticipate it a bit.

The new agenda will still remain as 2 sections.

*First section*

Instead of just having one talk, there will be at least 2 or more talks running concurrently. Those talks will be of different tracks - see this link - and at least one of it will always be "Development Practices and Craftsmanship". The tracks are shamelessly copied and simplified from http://agile2012.agilealliance.org/program. I've been to the annual Agile Conference twice and found their tracks cover a good range of themes that gives more focus and depth for the speakers and participants.

How do we get speakers then? I will invite speakers to this planning spreadsheet with edit access so that they could indicate their talk for present/future ones.

*Second section*

Instead of Open Space, we'll have something similar but less formal called Open Jam (also an idea from the Agile Conference). It is a place to share ideas, questions, talk with practitioners and demonstrate development practices. Anyone can start a session at this space and it doesn't need to be formal. We'll put up a visual board so that the initiators can post their topics and everyone knows what is happening when and where.
