SPUG: Extreme Programming Meeting This Thursday (May 10)

The meeting should be pretty general and language agnostic.
Extreme Programming can be easily practised in Perl using
Test::Unit (on CPAN) for example. The issues that Eric is 
planning to raise for discussion should be relevant to Perl
software companies as much as to other languages. So while
not Perl-focussed it will be largely language-independent.

Sorry about the lack of advance notice. I usually try to 
get these out sooner but there were some last minute 
glitches this time. 

We always meet second Thursday of the month at the same 
location so you can mark your calendars for future 
meetings. 

Also you can subscribe to the local extreme programming 
mailing-list by sending a blank message to

extremeprogramming-seattle-subscribe at yahoogroups.com

Looking forward to seeing you there.

This looks very interesting.   It looks like a few of us from lockstream.com
are
going to crashing in... We are looking forward to meeting some of the folks
from
the SPUG list. 

How perl focused will this be?  It sounds more like general XP stuff; but I
could be wrong.

Looks like a great meeting; I wish we had more advanced notice on it.

TIA,
Eric Johanson
