Scrum/Agile methods get together soon

[Kim Slawson]

Hey all. I talked with Kevin Callahan and we thought it'd be fun to get together again soon before the holiday season overtakes us all.

A discussion of "scrum" and "agile" theory and practice over food or drinks seems appropriate, with Kevin offering to lead.

What does everyone think, and where and when would we like to see this happen?

It'll be good to see everyone again!

Hey all...I would love to, however, I'm not really in developer mode at all anymore. More just straight front end and print design. Not sure I could offer much up for you all on the nitty gritty tech end.

Now, if you didn't mind me just being a worthless designer in the mist of all you brainiacs...I'm in. :)

Hi all!

Wednesdays are typically out for me too, as generally are Thursdays (but
I could probably do Thursday if I had to). I think if I was going to
shoot for this I'd prefer the earlier setup due to kids, so I can try to
be back to help with bedtime around 8 or so.

What about meeting up for dinner and have a dinner conversation? What's
the best time during the week of October 22-26? What about Monday the
22nd for dinner and agile planning?

Is anyone else around besides Maggie, Kevin, myself, and Kim?

My gmail address bounced back from the group; perhaps this one is on
the whitelist..

If this topic isn't of interest to anyone else, then perhaps it'll
just be the 4 of us :)

I can go early if needed, though it's not my preference; happy to go
with what works best for others though. Then again, John *does* tend
to just cause trouble where ever goes :)

If anyone is so moved to broadcast this topic outside of the group I
think that would be fine as well. At one point I was invited to
participate in a Juice Box that I was going to bring the topic to
though it got scheduled to happen on a night I was in CA for work...

I can do either Monday10/22 or Friday 10/26 at 5:30? Is there a
location that would both have seating and food and also some room for
a whiteboard, etc?

I'm around, but looks like I'll be out of town the week of
the 22nd. Don't delay because of me, but I'll certainly
attend if it's a time I can make it. Most nights are okay
for me currently.
