I take great pleasure in announcing the first ever Code Retreat outside the US, scheduled in Reykjavík, Iceland on May 9, 2009. I had the pleasure of co-pre-announcing this event at my March 2009 course there and feel great that the guys at Sprettur have fulfilled their commitment to organize this event. I hope this represents the first step towards a vibrant Software Craftsmanship community in Iceland.

Please support your local Code Retreat event. I will present one in association with PlateSpin in Toronto on August 8, 2009.
