[YLUG] YSG Inaugural meeting

[Philip Morrell]

Hi all, this is what happened at the social last night (with many,
many tangents):

York Software Group will fill the gap between professional/managerial
talks (BCS/IBM) and dev pub meets (YLUG/Geek Club). YSG will provide
hands-on guidance for professional software development in an
apprentice/journeyman/master style, by building upon the ideas of
agile programming and software craftsmanship. YSG will meet monthly,
with a quarterly cycle of paper/talk/dojo/(social?).

The first meeting is 7:45 for 8pm start, **Wed 29th Feb** at Fulford
Scout HQ. Beginning with two 10min talks (agile, software
craftsmanship) each with 5min Q&A before an 1hr paper development
exercise. We need a poster making for this event!

Liam, David, FuFu, Steve and I bought yorksoftwaregroup.org.uk to be
our web presence, initially hosting a wiki and a mailing list.
