I'd like to start off a thread with a few possibilities about the
format for next week.
a - Open Space: http://www.openspaceworld.org/cgi/wiki.cgi?
In essence. Topics for discussion are written on flipchart paper and
groups are formed to discuss those topics.
b - World Café: http://www.theworldcafe.com/
Sounds like a coffee shop at WOMAD but it's not that disimilar to Open
Space, except participants are seated at tables "café" style, they
discuss a topic and then move, leaving one person at the table. This
is repeated a couple of times.
c - A volunteer or volunteer gives a talk and then a discussion
ensues.
d - A different format.
No matter what format we choose, I would like to to have a space to
discuss what we would like future meetings to consist of.
Please let us know your thoughts.

d) Park bench. Similar to open spaces but three people(on the bench) discuss the topic chosen. Anyone can ask a question that the bench can answer, but to voice an opinion or answer a question you have to replace someone on the bench.

Thanks for organising last night. I certainly enjoyed it. I was
surprised but encouraged by the number of people new to agile who
wanted to learn more.
In terms of format for future meetings, we could do some agile games.
I think these are useful for giving novices a feel for agile
techniques. There is a whole site dedicated to them here:
http://blog.tastycupcakes.com and Bill Wake has some here: http://xp123.com/g4p/
It would just be a question of which one and who would organise (I'd
happily volunteer to run one)
