This is a something that the .NET team is putting together that has a contest with super cool prizes (seriously, 12 day trip to the Galapagos, for real (as my 4 year old says)). (obligatory legalese here). If you’ve built a sweet app with the .NET framework, we’d like to hear about it. So check out http://www.myDotNetStory.com today and enter to win.

We're Hiring

My team is looking for people interested in building the next generation of the WF designer. We've posted an opening here, please let me know if you're interested.

I can't really say too much about what we're building, but it's a great team that's committed to creating a great experience for building, editing, and viewing workflows. Everyone on the team believes in the power of a declarative model of process, and believes that tools are the way that model is consumable by humans. Everyone also believes that we're making it easier to write code and solve problems with software, which makes our mission exciting.

From the job posting:

Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) is the workflow engine that powers SharePoint, Speech Server, the next major release of BizTalk, and countless customer and partner solutions as part of the .NET Framework. Our team builds the tooling that allows people to rapidly model, execute and debug the execution logic of their applications in a rich, graphical programming environment. The tools we build range from flowchart and process designers, to the visualization and management of complex rule sets. If you’re passionate about enabling the rapid modeling of process, or creating a great user experience building on the power of WPF, check us out. The tools we build will ship inside the next release of Visual Studio and the .NET Framework, and support the “Oslo” effort currently ongoing in Microsoft’s Connected Systems Division.

The Program Manager role so far has been a great experience for me (coming up on 4 months now). If you've got questions, drop me a line at mwinkle [at] [large redmond based software firm].com.

So Many Cool Things Going On

Just a quick summary:

Orcas Beta 1 is out
BPEL folks are looking for feedback
labs.biztalk.net is live (Check out Clemens, Dennis and John's posts)

Maybe at MIX we can talk about how this might make things interesting?
I imagine that I will probably do more than a couple of samples based on this

I'll be at MIX next week and am looking forward to meeting up with anyone who is attending. I'll be in the mashup's area and I'd love to see folks using WF to power some mashups.
