We have discovered that there are a number of people from the larger agile community here in the Okanagan but we don't seem to have any local community here. Many of us aren't even working for companies that are local; we just live here and work for companies that are elsewhere. This is an attempt to bring us together and get some local activities going.
We'd been doing lunch meetups through the summer and have switched to after-work events for at least the next few months.
The only cost is that you do have to pay for your own food and drinks. :-)
Unless the event description says differently, these are just opportunities to get together, over some food and drink, to talk about a variety of topics. The theme is generally Agile although we've been known to ramble into other areas. We are not currently hosting speakers, although we may do that in future.
If you'd like more information then either contact Mike Bowler or join us in our LinkedIn group.
