ICSE peopleware panel session

Yourdon's report:
" I had the great honor and pleasure of participating in a retrospective panel session on peopleware last week at the International Conference on Software Engineering (aka ICSE 2007) in Minneapolis, with some of the luminaries in the software field: Fred Brooks, Barry Boehm, Tom DeMarco, Tim Lister, and Linda Rising. The panel — celebrating the 20th anniversary of the publication of Peopleware — was conceived of, organized by, and moderated by Steve Fraser (not to be confused with this Steve Fraser, who won the 1984 Olympics in Greco-Roman wrestling); Steve, whose “day job” is that of Senior Staff at QUALCOMM’s Learning Center in San Diego, deserves a lot of credit for putting it all together, and keeping the panel from degenerating into pandemonium … and, well, Greco-Roman wrestling."
