That's XP as in eXtreme Programming / Agile Software Development. Why would anyone in PLUG care? Well, you might not. However, if you develop software, are familiar with Open Source Bazaar model development, and are interested in learning about other Agile Software development techniques, DC is not too far from Philly. I'd be happy to answer any other questions if I can, etc. The following is the basic info that is being posted to other forums by Niraj Khanna of Diaspar Software: -- Hello everyone! Diaspar Software, Digital Focus and ProjectSuccess would like to announce XP Day DC 2005, a 1-day eXtreme Programming conference to be held in the Greater Washington DC area September 24th, 2005. For those who prefer browsing a website instead of reading plain text, visit: http://www.xpday.info If you are looking for an opportunity to learn more about Extreme Programming without having to spend an entire week at a large international XP conference, XP Day DC fits the bill. XP Day is a one-day event with activities for anyone interested in Extreme Programming, whether you're: * A programmer who has heard about XP and wants to find out more. * An executive wondering how XP can improve the contribution your software organization makes to the bottom line. * A manager looking for ways to increase your team's effectiveness. * A skeptic, hoping to challenge the most experienced and outspoken XP practitioners. * A programmer itching to experience a real XP project room. * An experienced practitioner, hoping to share ideas with other experienced practitioners. For those of you who missed out on Agile United 2005, this would be an excellent opportunity to meet, attend tutorial sessions and even work with some of the XP community's most notable practitioners. XP Day events are interactive! - Tutorials We are fortunate to have respected leaders of the XP community providing world-class instruction in the fundamentals of XP. Check out the website for bios! * Bill Wake, keynote. * J. B. Rainsberger will provide an introduction to XP. * Jeff Nielsen will show you an XP approach to communicating requirements. - Open Space You can collaborate intensively with both local and invited advanced practitioners on issues that challenge you most. If the tutorials don't cover it, you can work through your burning questions in Open Space. - Panel Discussion We are pleased to invite clients of Digital Focus to share their stories about How XP Has Changed Our Lives. To get a head start on your company's transition to XP, or to find out more about the benefits and pitfalls of adopting XP practices, ask those who have experienced it! - Project Room If you're looking to dive in and immerse yourself in XP, join the XP Project Room, where you'll have the opportunity to work on a project with respected experts. Not sure what's going on? No problem! Join the project any time and someone will bring you up to speed quickly, just like on a real XP project! If you're looking for more information, visit the website: http://www.xpday.info If you have any questions with regards to this event, please don't hesitate to contact Niraj Khanna at: mailto:niraj@diasparsoftware.com Hope to see you there! -- You can also visit http://wiki.sourcextreme.org/ where we are starting to add content about "Agile Bazaar" practices and how they relate (or not) to Agile Software Development in general. I'm writing a little about this in my Bliki (combine Blogging concepts with Wiki community contributions) at: http://wiki.sourcextreme.org/index.php/User:Jason Cheers, Jason Nocks nocksj@sourcextreme.com http://www.sourcextreme.com/ Attachment:
