 I attend regularly -- probably make 80% of the meetings.  

 

Phani Yarabolu on my team has also attended the SQGNE meeting.   He returned with rave reviews.  

 

The meetings tend to cover different areas -- the Agile meeting centers around all thing Agile -- can be anything related to Agile Development.   The SQGNE meeting has a wide-ranging focus -- anything related to improving software quality.
