So I hope to see you all there. I will be hanging around at a lot of these sessions and be participating directly in a couple of panel discussion with OpenNETCF members and industry insiders. I will also be hanging around the .NET CF product booth. You can send me email by clicking on the email link above if you would like to try to set up a time to meet at MEDC.

Regards,

Scott.
