Time for another great IGI Awards Workshop (only 2 more to go!) to edge us closer to the deadline at the end of March - informally announced as 31st of March 2010.

Main contributors to this workshop are CCP and Betware and the session will look something like this:

* Petur Halldorsson introduces us to his work on Measure of the Cosmos, already pre-developed into a computer game concept, but currently open to further implementation. Check it out to see if you might be interested in working on it.

* Olafur Andri, the Chief Software Architect at Betware, gives us a quick introduction.
* Bjorn Brynjar, PMO Process Lead at Betware, shows us how they manage their processes using Agile.
* Sigtryggur, Development Team Lead at Betware, introduces us to the magic of continuous integration and other useful secrets they use to make things easier and faster to develop.

* CCP QA Testers Hafþór Bryndísarson and Rory Abbott tell us about some of the key aspects of Quality Assurance, along with examples of how QA is performed at CCP. Learn how to make sure what you've got is of top quality!

* IGIA teams intros -> those of you that are up for it give us a few words about what you're working on.
