[epf-dev] How to attract agile thought leaders

[Christoph Steindl <steindl@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been using agile methods and techniques for some years now.
I can see a real chance in the EPF project for the arena of agile methods.
For me, it is well worth some effort to condense the knowledge of the 
various agile methods and to make it available as EPF plug-ins.
It would then be easier to understand and compare the approaches, as 
well as to enhance them ("cross fertilization").
I'm not interested in "heavy process stuff", but structuring and making 
it available to a wider audience in an easily approachable way seems to 
be valuable.

... that's for the intro, here comes my question ...

I'm a ScrumMaster as well (trained by Ken Schwaber in how to apply Scrum 
as a team leader).
Months ago, I've asked him about his opinion of sharing more information 
contained in the "Scrum methodology" (168 pages of process description) 
with the wider community.
Unfortunately, I didn't get a response from him.
When I try the next time, I'd like to make sure that he really 
understands the potential value to him, to Scrum, and the practitioners.
Therefore, I currently prepare an early version of an enhanced Scrum 
plug-in - so that Ken Schwaber will more easily understand what I'm 
talking about.

Can you - all readers of the mailing list - please brainstorm and 
suggest additional ideas of how the value of the EPF project can be made 
visible and explicit to an agile thought leader.
What are the potential benefits for them?
How can we best approach them?
How can we best attract their attention?
How can we increase their participation and involvement?
