Well, I said I'd keep you informed of the general happenings in the Microsoft Canada developer community, so here an update:

Exciting isn't it? VSLive! in TORONTO! I'm looking forward to the show, and there is a lot of buzz starting up around this event!

The event is structured with both a pre and post conference workshop day, as well as 2 days of the bext of Visual Basic, C#, ASP.NET, C++, Mobile development, and more. The folks at Fawcette Technical Publications (FTP) are putting together quite a show, and we're really proud to be a sponsor of this event. You can take a deeper look and register for 2,3 or 4 days of the conference at www.vslive.com/to

There are other events that are coming up - including a developer visit to Toronto with Steve Ballmer, that I'll fill you in on shortly.

Another set of events to tell you about is our MSDN Canada DevChats - visit msdn.microsoft.ca/devchats to learn more and register. It's a chance for you to drill questions at our wicked intelligent Developer Specialists here in Canada about different topics.

I'd love to hear from some of you on DevChat topics that you would like to see - so, let me know!
