Hamburg Xp Users Group

Public meetings for ExtremeProgramming and AgileSoftwareDevelopment newbies, practitioners and experts in Hamburg/Germany. Newcomers are highly welcome.

Next Meeting: As this wiki is usually not editable when we need it: please refer to http://de.groups.yahoo.com/group/xpug-hh/ for the latest announcements. The group is still active, it's only this page here that stays a bit quiet due to wiki-editing restrictions...

When we plan the next meeting using doodle please use doodle (first) to announce if you have time and (later) to announce if you intend to come.

Keeping in touch
