I know that some of you are involved with / interested in Agile
software development, so I thought I'd mention:
1) Naresh Jain and I are creating a new event called AgileCoachCamp, a
BarCamp for change agents helping teams evolve toward Agile
self-organizing development. It should be a blast, I can't wait!
http://www.agilecoachcamp.org
2) The annual, international conference of the Agile Alliance will be
in Toronto next year. (Bad timing, what with the dollar and all that!)
But good for us. The last two years this conference sold out really
early, just so you know.
The conference chair will be in Toronto on Dec 6th and would like to
meet with anyone who'd like to help create events to connect the
conference participants with the local community (pub crawl, anyone?).
If anyone is interested to meet with her, I include her email below.

Hello
Scrum Friends!
I thought you might be interested in a new
not-for-profit conference that Naresh Jain and I are planning for next
spring:
http://www.AgileCoachCamp.org
It's open to anyone who considers themselves a Lean / Agile change
agent, mentor, scrummaster, manager ... anyone who's actively
responsible for shepherding a team or organization through the shift to
Agile, or is responsible to maintain the process of an Agile team.
(This role takes on many different faces and titles in different
organizations and methodologies).
We're still looking at various NE US venues, so please join the mailing
list if you want to hear what develops! I hope you'll consider joining
us there, we'd love to have a chance to collaborate with all of you!
(And, please spread the word! It won't be an expensive event, so let
everyone know!)
