[mod] Gmail account hacked.

It looks like someone hacked Adam Sroka's gmail account. The same spam message appeared in both the XP and
TDD lists.

I've deleted the spam from this list and will put him on moderation until it's cleared up.

Re: [mod] Gmail account hacked.

Yes. Sorry about that. Apparently many Gmail accounts were hacked around the
same time. I've taken steps including crafting a new strong password and
turning on google's two-step authentication. Hopefully that's the end of it.

Thanks,
Adam

survey on agile development

Dear all,

For my thesis I am researching the value of agile development when applying a 
new technology. To this end I am conducting a survey and kindly request you to 
participate.

The questionnaire can be found at http://lennaertvanderlinden.nl/survey-start

It will take about 10 minutes of your time. In return I can offer the results of 
the survey. Also, as part of my gratitude I will send you a personal postcard if 
you leave your address in the remarks section. If you are interested in the full 
research results, please say so in the remarks or send me a private mail.

Any personal details provided such as the e-mail address will only be used to 
notify of the results and are removed when the survey is closed.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: survey on agile development

It's a very short and simple survey.  I encourage contributing.

What shouldn't have worked, but did?

All,

In the ten years I've been doing XP, the same thing keeps happening:
First, I get so attached to a particular practice (large or small)
that I mistakenly think it's absolutely necessary.  Second, I see a
team that doesn't use that practice (or adds some strange practice),
and figure they're making a mistake.  Third, their customization
(omission or addition) works out well for them.

I've got a little list, but I'd like to make it bigger.  So here's the
question:

   What have you seen teams do that couldn't possibly work,
   but ended up working anyway?  Why?

Thanks,
--George <gpaci at tiac dot net>

PS: Check out Bob Payne's Agile Toolkit podcasts: 
http://agiletoolkit.libsyn.com/

   By-the-book XP is like an off-the-rack suit: it's not likely to fit
   you perfectly, but you'd better try it on before you make alterations.

A skilled and motivated team will be successful almost regardless of what barriers you put in their way.  If
needed, they'll lie, defy authority, violate rules and procedures to succeed.  You can stop them by firing
the members, but if they ignore empty threats, what are you gonna' do?  >;->

Pairing opposite each other

Hi, Everybody,

I also posted this to the TDD group.

Anybody have any experience pairing where each has a monitor/keyboard/mouse and
sit opposite each other?

Thanks,

Kay Pentecost
