MVP Washington State Summit
Was wondering if any of the MVP's here plan on attending the summit next week?
I am going, would be nice to put a live person to a name here.

Nah, that crown gets so darned heavy and you get arthritis from all of the kneeling and chanting to your golden Anders statue.

Re: MVP Washington State Summit
I was an MVP for five years and made it to the Summit three times. Hooking up with online people from various sites is a must.
I dropped out when the perks were getting fewer and far in-between. I believe now a days you have to share a room with someone.
Way back when, instead of Technet and MSDN - MS sent us cd/dvd's of all their softwares... Someday I'll have to see if they are worth anything
Wi-fi went down for five minutes, so I had to talk to my family....They seem like nice people.

In regards to sharing a room, I have my own room.

Summit is over, what a great experience. Enjoyed many of the sessions offered along with being interviewed by the Microsoft Channel 9 team which should be published soon and have to say that was fun with great topics.

Re: MVP Washington State Summit
So...you've passed the summit? Does that means it's all downhill from here?

Re: MVP Washington State Summit
Appears that it was "summit interesting" though all I've heard of note reported is the intent to turn Channel 9 into "YouTube for MVPs."
With business contracting on all fronts I heard there was some emphasis on getting out and shilling hard for Azure as well. Considering that even though nobody uses it most Enterprise customers are forced to spend on it as part of the Contract Bundle. Since they're paying for it anyway they may as well try using it for something... which might lead to more actual adoption down the road.
I wonder how much they went into Azure's ongoing transformation from Windows based to Red Hat Enterprise Linux based? I see they are working hard at .Net on RHEL to sidestep the withering fig of Mono.
Then you have Windows client drying up into a walled-garden tablet/phone/browser experience and Windows server going more and more headless. So much so that the Windows Installer service and its MSIs are on the verge of deprecation because Microsoft's "deployment of the future" direction is the App Store on the one hand and PowerShell on the other.
Things are getting weird.

Re: MVP Washington State Summit
When were they ever NOT weird?
Let's keep focused on the prize:
1 We want to write software.
2 Ideally, we'd like that software to be useful.
3 Therefore, it has to run on the hardware people want to run it on.
If the hardware changes, so must the software.
EDIT: To sum it up:
O give me a home,
Where my software can roam,
And the devs and the users both play.
Where seldom is heard
A cross-platform word
And changes are kept oft at bay.
