How about an event?

[Michael Mallete]

Yohooo. Agile Philippines is very silent :-)

We've had more people signed up, and I'm assuming our little community here had grown, amid not talking to each other :-D

How about a meetup? Or to be a bit more ambitious, we can organize an event where we can ask Scrum Alliance for support. Shouldn't be hard to do.

Mike – good idea, lets explore the 'event' option. Any thoughts on how long, how big, scope etc. I know you attended a few already.

Cheers

Agree, when can we meetup? J

[Michael Mallete]

Hi Arup,

We have various options. We can wait for the next round of the Agile Tour this year. Or we can just organize an event and ask for sponsorship from Scrum Alliance, like what my colleagues did in HK. I could even ask the other odd-e guys to join in the fun. Right Bas, Sonny, Steven? :-P

We can do a small meetup with the agenda of making the event happen. How about that? :-)

Does end of Feb sound good to everyone?

Mike – not only Scrum Alliance, once we figure the scope we can tap on some other options locally also. Perhaps even have some booths etc also, small entry fees to cover the venue etc. just some thoughts

Cheers

Hi Ian,

Yeah we need to start really livening up as a community. I envy the other Asian countries for having a very active community now. In the end, we want to improve the Philippines world of work. And it starts with this community \m/

[Ian Pestelos]

I'm completely with you on that. It would be very nice if we can come up with something like Agile 2013 or Scrum Gathering :)

Baby steps, count me in!

[Michael Mallete]

We'll see what we will come up with on Feb 28 then :-)

Micheal,

Im from Cebu.

[Michael Mallete]

Do you have an idea how many are interested there? I think I can get a copy of the list CSMs and CSPOs there for one just in case. We will also talk about possible regional events on Feb 28 then. But would be good if you have some grassroots activities too.

regards,

mike

So this would be on Feb 28 evening?  

 

Thank you,

 

Lemuel "Marc" P. Caldito

[Michael Mallete]

Yes Marc. I set it to 7:30 to give enough time for those coming from outside of Pasig City (I hope)

Hi guys,

Is it ok to move it to Wednesday, Feb 27 instead? We'll have better logistics on that day (or rather more food? :-D ehem ehem @Arup)

regards,

mike

Why not use our User Group under www.scrumalliance.org?

User Group: http://www.scrumalliance.org/user_groups/170

 

Is everyone’s account still active on ScrumAlliance?

 

Let me know the final details of the event so I can create the group event. This way, we are visible to the international Agile-Scrum community.

 

 

Thank you,

 

Lemuel "Marc" P. Caldito

 

[Michael Mallete]

That would be great. Can you set that up? I am under the assumption though that not everyone is a member of SA (i.e., not everyone is doing Scrum in the list, I presume)
