XP Day North America is on hiatus · Apr 3, 12:39 PM
Well, it’s time to admit that XP Day North America isn’t going anywhere right now. For a variety of reasons, including changing priorities, lower energy and a disappointing turnout to our last two events, we have decided to stop organizing XP Day North America events indefinitely.
We would like to thank all our sponsors and co-hosts, including Thoughtworks Canada, Pyxis Technologies, Thoughtworks New York City, Community Connect, Digital Focus (now Command Information), Methods and Tools and the Agile Alliance.
We would also like to thank our speakers, especially those who agreed to join us before we could afford to pay their expenses.
I would personally like to thank my co-organizers Niraj Khanna, Deborah Hartmann, Sarah Rainsberger, and all the others who helped put these events together.
Finally, thanks to Kent Beck, Francesco Cirillo and John Goodsen for being there in Oregon in 2004 when I first suggested there should be a North American conference with “XP” in the title. Without them, I would never have tried any of this.
We might be back.
— J. B. Rainsberger
