STAREAST 2008 Conference Podcast: John Engle
Date	April 1, 2008
Featured Speakers	John Engle
Details	Though the STAREAST program covers a vast number of software testing topics, there is no way to touch on everything. That’s where Open Space comes in. It’s a place where you set the agenda. Whether it’s discussing something more in depth or examining a topic that’s not on the program, Open Space is the place to convene.  It’s like an extended coffee break with a tad of structure— a gathering place for you, your ideas, and your colleagues.
