Orlando, Fl. Microsoft Community Summit Recap
Many thanks to Joe Healy and crew for organizing the community summit we had last weekend. I came down to Orlando, Fl. last Saturday, not sure what to expect, however when I saw the facilities and attendees, I knew that this was going to be a fun weekend. To recap...We were able to use the civic center for the weekend in between the first and second weeks of Teched. It almost felt like we were speaking at Teched, minus a few thousand attendees. However our MS TE's and community leaders did an outstanding job of organizing the event.
Saturday night we had a geek social where our very own Eugene Chuvyrov spun the dance hits. He did a great job of DJing the party and getting things rolling throughout the night. There were some cool games played for play money to buy an XBox 360.
My talk was last Sunday morning at 9 a.m.(probably one of the earliest times I have ever spoke), and I think I pulled around 100 attendees. I did a 1.5 hour presentation on WF, setting the foundation on what to expect for later presentations that followed for 3.0/3.5 services.
Based on some of the feedback I received from speaking, my next couple of blog postings will be focused on answering the questions that were gathered from my session.
