EJTMPG Restart?

        After a long period of dormancy, I'm looking again at whether or not it would be good to bring <br />            this group back alive.<br />            At this point, I want to begin by having a broad discussion on some or all of these topics -<br />            * What's the central purpose of this group?<br />            <br />            * Discuss how to best balance the time needed to gain new proficiencies against<br />              using existing abilities to meet the clients needs on an on-going basis.<br />            <br />            * Do schools do an adequate job to re-tool the non-agile developer<br />              to become an agile developer?<br />              <br />            * Talk generally about the problem of identifying the specific technologies<br />               and methods that the group will practice.<br /><br />            * Talk about the need to enlist the services of an expert 'team mentor'.<br />            <br />            If you would like to discuss these or related topics, I hope that you <br />            can come to the meeting.<br />
