Hi Folks. It's been all systems go as we prepare to welcome Steve Ballmer to Australia on Nov 6th. I just wanted to update my bloggers about where we are at! Steve will address an audience of developers here in Sydney at 3.30 on the afternoon of 6th November. Steve will share with you his vision of the opportunity for developers around Software & Services and "cloud and client" computing following some ground breaking announcements at Professional Developers Conference (PDC) in LA on 26th Oct. We will also stream the event live so, for those of you not coming along ( and no, we couldn't get him to visit Canberra or Melbourne on this occasion :-() , there will be an opportunity to hop online and hear from him first hand. We also have two great speakers coming from Redmond. Gianpaolo Carraro and Tim Sneath, both Directors within the Developer groups. They will delve a little deeper on Client and Cloud computing in two sessions following Steve's keynote and share some demos from the technology announced at PDC on 26th October. Anyway, just wanted to update you all. I'll provide the URL to you first thing Friday morning (17th Oct) when the site goes live and look forward to hearing your thoughts! Rock’n Roll J Fin PS It's my birthday tomorrow!! ;-)
