Delay!
Software Process and Measurement Cast
A quick update for readers and listeners: both the blog entries for Saturday and Sunday and the podcast episode scheduled for Sunday, May 31, 2020, are delayed due to issues with my month old laptop. It has decided to no longer boot (second time in one month that this issue has occurred). Since I was traveling this weekend I was not able to pull out the back-up machine until now. Rest assured, I will have things back on track beginning Tuesday.

Next SPaMCAST
SPaMCAST 569 will feature our essay on the 5 types of meetings. Meetings are the most important event in any organization — well that is what it seems like. It can also be said that meetings are the bane of every human that isn’t buying or selling something (and that caveat might be an overstatement). Lets put a name on the 5 most common types in software-centric organizations.
We will also have a visit from Jeremy Berriault who will bring his QA Corner to the podcast!
