Extreme Tuesday - Boston Edition

Welcome to the XTC-BOSTON blog!

This blog will be hosting announcements for Boston eXtreme Tuesday meetups. The idea is someone will announce the next meetup, and then people can comment to say whether they will be coming, and any possible discussions they might be interested in having.

Why XTC-BOSTON?

The original eXtreme Tuesday Club is a weekly gathering of eXtreme Programming practitioners that has taken place in London for 8 years or so. It has provided a great community for like-minded software developers, managers and coaches to get together in a very informal way to discuss the ups and downs of using XP and other agile Software Development methods on a wide variety of projects in all sorts of organisations.

When Mike Roberts moved to New York City, he missed the informality / beer / random banter of London's XTC and decided to kick off a similar event there in January 2007. Among other attendees were developers from New York's Cyrus Innovation. Now that Cyrus has established an office in Boston, its XP developers are looking for a place to quaff tankards of ale once again with other agile aficionados. Hence, XP Boston.

(Thanks to Mike for providing the idea, the New York implementation, and the source blog material from which I cribbed freely.)
