With PDC05 less than 2 weeks away you would expect that we would be winding down as we prepare for the trip.  Not the case, actually.  We have some great updates for those of you attending, and those of you who will be watching from home.

• Bill Gates' and Jim Allchin's keynotes will be broadcast on the Web.  Tune in on the 13th of September to watch it live.
• The details on the panels and symposia have been released – make sure you plan to attend as many of these as possible to maximize your time at the PDC.
• Just announced – the Women In Technology panel happening September 13th in room 402AB at 11:45am.  Join us to discuss diversity in the IT industry.
• BOF update – The submission deadline is extended through Sunday, September 4.  There is still time to propose a session or vote on the sessions you find most interesting

See you at the PDC!
