SPINS

Many members of the SEI Community are also affiliated with a Software and Systems Process Improvement Network (SPIN). SPIN chapters bring together professionals in a given geographic area who are dedicated to software and systems process improvement. SPIN meetings serve as a forum for the free and open exchange of software and systems process improvement ideas, information and mutual support.

SPINs foster innovation in software engineering, and the SEI believes it is important to support their efforts. SEI SPIN Coordinator Shane McGraw maintains a directory of SPIN chapters and the SPIN meeting calendar on the SEI Web site. He also assists SPIN startups and provides SEI experts to speak at chapter meetings.

SPIN members also play a special role in the SEPG North America conference. SPIN members serve on the Program Committee, and also host a Birds of a Feather session at the conference.
