What is SPIN?
The Software Process Improvement Network (SPIN) is an initiative by Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburg. It is comprised of individuals who want to improve software engineering practice. The individuals are organized into regional groups called "SPINs" that meet and share their experiences initiating and sustaining software process improvement programs. They meet annually at the Software Engineering Process Group (SEPG) Conference, which is co-sponsored by the SEI and a regional SPIN.
Details about SPINs operating at various countries can be obtained from SEI website.
