We had an excellent WSUG meeting at the offices of iMeta on 8th February 2010. At the end of the meeting we had a little retrospective about the meeting and the group. Below is a summary of the discussion.
What is holding back attendance of group?
- “Wessex” name is not helping the group to be recognised. Most of the group did not associate themselves with the Wessex area.
- Lack of a website is missing an advertising opportunity.
- Reliance of Linkedin could be limiting our audience.
- The aim of the group is not immediately available.
- Need more blogs/twitter etc to communicate the activities of the group.
The group agreed to:
- Change name of group to “Agile South Coast”
- Create a specific twitter account for the group
- Attendees will try to bring at least one more person to the next meeting
- Howard to consider doing a talk at the next meeting in March.
- Blog about the this meeting and the next meeting
- Set-up a Ning Network for the Group.
- Research local companies using Agile/Scrum to enlist more attendees to the group
Agile South Coast is a group of likeminded individuals that meeting every second Monday of the month to talk about Agile/Scrum/Lean for the improvement of the attendees and the wider community. The group normally meets in the Southampton area with easy access from Portsmouth, Winchester, Bournemouth, Poole, Salisbury, Hampshire, Dorset, West Sussex, Wiltshire and beyond.
