The SAO's Quality Assurance Special Interest Group's (QASIG) panel discussion, aptly titled "Life Inside an Iteration," is now available for download from the SAO's social network. (Cramming five acronyms into a single sentence is decidedly clunky. Sorry.)

OpenSourcery's Brian Jamison moderated the panel, which included some of Portland's best Agile thinkers and implementers. Chris Jones from Yesmail, Wayne Allen of Integrated Services, Sumant Vashisth from McAfee, and Todd Whitaker describe their Agile best practices in this informative, example-rich discussion.

So sit back, download the discussion, plug your iPod into the stereo, throw together a nice meal, and be transported to Agile bliss with "Life Inside an Iteration."

As part of its ongoing Meetup series, the OTBC in Beaverton will present "Open Source Software: Benefits and Challenges," a panel featuring three distinct perspectives on open source software: legal, business and development. This from the official announcement on the Meetup page: "The panel will consist of speakers experienced with intellectual property issues in adopting open source software, participating in open source and open standard communities, and using a range of licensing models."

Brian Jamison, founder and CEO of OpenSourcery, joins panel moderator Martin Medeiros (partner, Swider Medeiros Haver, LLP) and Jim Wasko (Program Director for Cloud Computing, IBM Systems and Technology Group, IBM) to discuss strategic approaches to leveraging open source vs. proprietary software. We're pretty certain where Brian will fall along that continuum.

The Meetup takes place at the offices of OTBC in Beaverton. Find directions here. We look forward to seeing you there.
