Call for sessions XP Days Benelux 2010

XP Day Benelux is an international conference about Agile development, intended for people from all walks of life who want to uncover better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. XP Days Benelux is made for, and made by, the Agile Community. Now you can be a contributor too.

XP Day Benelux will have something for everyone. Sessions for people who are new to Agile, sessions for experienced people, a good mix of technical, experience, management and process sessions. We’ll have sessions on Agile in real life, stories of success and horror, hands on workshops, and sessions that will completely surprise you!

We are looking for enthusiastic people who want to lead these sessions. People who work with Agile in any role, business or form. People who are willing to share, and are prepared to learn. Reflective practitioners who are not only interested in quality work but also want to know why things work as they do.

We are in particular looking for new, even crazy, topics and ideas!

We apply agile principles to the session review and selection process: open, transparent, and iterative, involving the community in reviewing and improving sessions:

  • May - 15 July: propose sessions; reviewing & improving session proposals iteratively
  • 15 July - 8 August: final reviews
  • 8 August - 1 September: community voting
  • 1st week of September: Program Committee meeting
  • September-November: session preparation, including coaching & try-outs
  • 25-26 November: conference

Do you want to propose a session? Find more information on the website. Do you have a rough idea for a session that still needs to be fleshed out? That's no problem, you can develop your ideas iteratively during the session feedback & reviewing stage.
