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 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: > ><http://witanweb.ca/xpau2004/>http://witanweb.ca/xpau2004/ > > > >Full Announcement and Call for Participation for the XP Agile Universe >2004 Conference: > ><http://www.agileuniverse.com/CallForParticipation>http://www.agileuniverse.com/CallForParticipation > > > >XP Agile Universe 2004 Panels Chair > >Chair: Mike Cohn (<mailto:[email protected]>[email protected]) > >If you have questions on preparing your proposal, please email me. > > > > > > <snip> ==================================================== Scott W.
