Naresh Jain pledged to connect the dots between Agile practitioners around the world. Today he wrote a post about it. He's taken another step (in addition to convening the SDT conference and conferences around India) by creating a group on LinkedIn.

Just back from JAOO 2007 and I have too much to write about. What a great conference!
