Upcoming Dinners

Time	Theme	Host
August, 2010

So you would like to host a dinner? Here's a checklist for things to do:

Choose date and time. The dinners usually start at 18:00 on a Wednesday / Thursday. About a month between dinners is a suitable interval.
(Optional) Decide on the theme. The dinners are even more fun if there's a topic that is to be discussed.
Mark your dinner to the table in 'Future Dinners' above to avoid overlapping with dinners possibly planned by another host.
Reserve a table/cabinet. The dinners have so far been mostly in Plevna, but any reasonably-priced good restaurant is fine. Optionally, you may want to reserve a meeting-room-style cabinet. Some restaurants have them available for no extra cost (e.g. Plevna, Virtapankki).
(Optional) Decide on the program. The dinners are even more fun if there's some activity during or before the dinner. A couple of lightning talks, some group exercise related to the theme, or something like that.
Advertise on the wiki. Create a page like this and put it on the top of this page under the heading Next Dinner.
Write a post on the Agile Finland Yahoo! group.
(Optional) Advertise on Facebook or LinkedIn. Create an event and invite friends who might be interested.

Be creative. You are the boss.
