[IxDA Discuss] Anybody interested in an Agile+UCD best practice sharing session in the SF Area in July?

[Andrew Sandler]

Hi all -
   Based on a number of interested responses, we're assembling our agenda
for the day.  I looks like we're going to be moving it to August, to account
for existing scheduling conflicts for a number of our design peers in the
area.  More details will be coming soon.  I'm really excited to meet you and
share what's working with Agile and UCD.
