[ecoop-info] Agile 2008 - General Call for Participation

[Marc Evers]

AGILE 2008 CONFERENCE in Toronto, August 4-8, 2008

Anyone who is involved in, or wants to learn more about, agile
development is invited to participate in this exciting conference!

Agile2008 conference is run as a program of Agile Alliance. We are
scaling up the conference for an ever-increasing and diverse agile
community. After the sell-out of Agile2007 we are expanding to a
larger venue which can hold an audience of 1600+ attendees!

To facilitate this growth, Agile 2008 has adopted the metaphor of a
music festival that provides multiple stages to attract audiences with
common interests. The stages within our program are designed and
organized by experts (acting as stage producers) who are truly
passionate about their particular areas.

Each stage will have a feel of a smaller, focused mini-conference
whilst providing the conference attendee with wide choice of topics to
choose from. We believe this approach will allow the conference to
scale, making it the biggest ever agile gathering!

You can find out more about the stages at:
http://www.agile2008.org/participate.html

We welcome submissions targeted at audiences of all experience levels
(beginners, intermediate, advanced). You are invited to submit ideas
and proposals for sessions to a specific stage via an online
submission system which will be available in December.

** Deadline for submissions: Feb 25, 2008 **

If you are not sure which stage to submit, send an email to:
program at agile2008.org

We are applying the core agile principles of iterative development and
feedback to the review process. The review can begin as soon as your
submission is received. With an exception of the research papers
(which require confidentiality), all proposals will be open to review
by the community and by the experts committees. This year you will be
able to respond to the feedback received and update your submission
before final acceptance decisions are made.

Kind regards,
