[epf-dev] Monthly EPF call (Thursday, 1/13, 8:00AM PDT)

[Bruce Macisaac <bmacisaa@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Happy New Year EPF community!

We will kick off our first EPF call of the year on Thursday, Jan 13, 8:00AM
PDT. 

Agenda items are:


1. Discuss webinar series
At the last meeting, we proposed having regular webinars
to help build the EPF community.  
We were tentatively planning on running the webinars every second month
in-lieu of the EPF project status/planning call (same time slot to try
and maximize attendance at both meeting types). Candidate topics include:
- Overview of SEMAT and how it fits with EPF
- Migrating from RUP to Practices and Lessons learned
from refactoring
- Hybrid planning (combining traditional and agile planning
techniques)
We'd like to hear what topics you might be interested
in hearing or giving.
Also how to promote this series to maximize attendance.
        - Could they be recorded
and linked from the EPF website?
        - Promote via IBM
forums? Other communities?

2. Plan for next EPF release

Tentative dates for releases - June and Nov.

Some ideas already discussed for the next release:
- Scrum/Lean
