Subject: [ADS] UPDATE - ACTION REQUESTED - Would you do ONE (more) thing on Friday?
To: agile-devel...@googlegroups.com


Now that we are promoting http://agilskillsproject.org (which redirects to the wiki), I have rewritten the suggested email sig and the canned tweets. Also, the two tweets that point to Andre's Agile2010 proposal about the project require people to login to Agile2010, so I mentioned that when I rewrote the tweets. I have update the web page and I have included the updated text here. If you copy from this email, please watch out for line breaks and be sure to copy the entire tweet.

Suggested Email Sig - the more people that do this, the better:
-------------------------------
Mentor/be mentored: the Agile Skills Project
http://www.agileskillsproject.org/


Canned Tweets:
-------------------------------
What do you know about #Agile Software Development? Mentor/Be mentored: The Agile Skills Project http://bit.ly/bO6los

What are key skills that every team member of an #agile team should develop? http://bit.ly/avfo6a #Agile2010 (login to #Agile2010 required)

What can we do to promote real learning in the #agile community? http://bit.ly/avfo6a #Agile2010 (login to #Agile2010 required) Please RT

The #Agile Skills Project http://bit.ly/bO6los - Mentor/Be Mentored #lean #kanban #scrum Please RT

Are #agile or #scrum certifications helpful or harmless? Which are worth the money? http://bit.ly/bO6los Please RT



Philip, Andre and John have all signed up to tweet. (Thank you guys!) I have scheduled three automated tweets for Friday using Twuffer:

this one at noon GMT-5 (Eastern US):
The #Agile Skills Project http://bit.ly/bO6los - Mentor/Be Mentored #lean #kanban #scrum Please RT

this one at 1500 (3pm):
What do you know about #Agile Software Development? Mentor/Be mentored: The Agile Skills Project http://bit.ly/bO6los

and back to this one at 1900 (7pm):
The #Agile Skills Project http://bit.ly/bO6los - Mentor/Be Mentored #lean #kanban #scrum Please RT


Who's ready to start thinking about a retrospective for our first sprint?
