    That's a topic I've been interested in for some time. A couple of things I did some time back:
    http://www.scrumalliance.org/resources/282
    http://www.slideshare.net/rowanb/kicking-scrumbut
    That's all a bit old and could do with a further iteration though.
    Would love to join the discussion... unfortunately I'm due to be delivering Scrum training in Sydney on that date.

    Hi Craig,

    I have lots to say about Agile "smells" and anti-patterns. Happy to be part of the panel if you need people.

    Cheers,
    Reg

    Hi Craig,

    I am a friend and ex-colleague of Reg's and I also would be happy to be part of the panel. I've been a Scrum developer, ScrumMaster and Product Owner over the last 3 years so would have plenty to contribute.

    Cheers,

    Neil

    @Breisi, when you know the venue I'll let ACS know so they can mail their members.

    Craig, as mentioned on Twitter, you can count Aconex in for a seat on the panel if they're still going...we've been doing Scrum for long enough and have enough curmudgeonly ex-Thoughtworkers on staff to have something to say :) I'll put the word out internally and might even be able to offer a CBD venue...

    I'll jump in on a panel if you need an extra person. I've got lots of smelly tales [grin]

    Craig,

    Aconex confirmed for venue and pizza :)

    Our panel member will be Bruce Taylor, one of our Engineering Managers and very experienced Scrum leaders at Aconex.

    Note that our address is technically Level 1, 696 Bourke St, but we'll have someone out on the street to welcome folks. It's very easy to find, on the corner of Bourke and Spencer Streets, right across from the big southern Cross station staircase on the north side of Bourke St. Enter by the door right at the corner.
