What we’re about
This Agile in Leeds space on meetup sat without an owner for many months. It seemed a shame that the hard work of past organisers and all the support of past speakers and attendees might be abandoned so (at least for the time being) it made sense for Agile in Leeds to become part of the long running Agile Yorkshire community of practice and try to merge the two groups together. Both group have many of the same members already.
The events published here will be same events published on the agileyorkshire.org website until we decide how best to move things forward.
For the time being we look forward to see you at our next meetup.
