Namaskar and namaske, On behalf of the Scrum Alliance, I am pleased to announce a public ScrumMaster certification course at the Grand Hotel in Kathmandu, 28 - 29 November 2011. This is a two-day course where you learn the fundamentals of Scrum, and receive Scrum Alliance certification as a Certified ScrumMaster®, contingent on taking an exam after the course. This course is being sponsored as an outreach event by the Scrum Alliance, which is underwriting the costs for the course. You can read more about the event at:
http://scrumalliance.org/courses/20112053-certified-scrummaster
and you can register at:
http://scrumfoundation.com/classes/show/626
Please include your current employment or education situation and gender in the
application comments.
We are charging a registration fee of 10,000 Nrs. to ensure that each attendee
shows commitment to the event. If you feel you could be a key contributor to
Scrum in Nepal and feel that the fee is an obstacle, please contact me. You
must arrange your own transportation and lodging if necessary. The event will
provide lunch both days.
Registrations are open immediately. If we get fewer than 25 registrations we
will be able to accommodate everybody. If there are more, the organizers will
choose 25 attendees based on their fit for the criteria for the event, and by a
lottery if further reduction of numbers is needed. The main criteria are:
- You must be a full-time resident of Nepal
- You may not be working for a company of more than 100 people
- Special preference given to individuals who register together with an
individual of the opposite gender (you need not be related)
- Tie-breaker consideration give to those who register early
The organizers have full and final say over admission selections. Admissions
will be announced before the end of October 2011.
Please forward this announcement to other lists where you think there would be
interest, or to other potentially interested individuals. Let me know where
else I should post this announcement. As always, please write to me if you have
questions about the event. My colleague Laxmihari Nepal ([email protected])
can answer questions about local arrangements, and I want to appreciate him for
his work on behalf of this event.
I look forward to meting you in Kathmandu; it is my privilege to be able to
come and work with you. Let's work together to change the world of work in
Nepal!

There is no prize for "being Scrum". There is a prize for doing the right
combination of practices: success — Ron Jeffries, paraphrased.
