XP Agile Universe 2004 

Call for Panels Proposals 

Calgary, Alberta, Canada 

August 15-18, 2004 

www.agileuniverse.com

Panel sessions provide a forum for the exploration of a hot topic either
among expert panel members or between the panel and the audience. Sessions
can be in the form of panels, debates, goldfish bowls, or any other format
that encourages active discussion and exploration of a topic. A panel
presents a varied number of viewpoints, a debate actively argues two or more
opposing perspectives, and a goldfish bowl allows numerous ideas, including
those from the audience, to be presented in a semi-structured format. 

 

Panels should be informative and even fun. The best panels are those where a
controversial topic or opinion is thoughtfully discussed. The best
participants include people with a variety of backgrounds and viewpoints.
They do not have to be experts; valuable insights can come from "gurus" as
well as from those in the trenches of daily software development. 

 

A panel abstract is limited to two (2) pages. It should contain the
following information, in this order:

--panel title

--panel format

--panel organizer information (name, affiliation, address, email, phone)

--panelist information (name, affiliation, email) for each panelist

--panel description

 

The panel description should include an introduction to the panel topic and
a short position statement from each panelist. The panel organizer must
select appropriate panelists who will make a commitment to participate. The
panel organizer is responsible for obtaining position statements from
panelists and integrating them into the abstract before submitting the
proposal. All accepted panel abstracts will be published in the conference
proceedings.

 

Acceptance will be based on an evaluation of the session's potential for
engaging the panelists and audience in lively and substantive discussions,
the timeliness and expected interest in the topic, and the organizers'
ability to lead a successful session. 

 

Submit your proposal by February 29, 2004 at:
