Steve Ballmer in Australia

Microsoft is hosting an event power to developers, on 6th November in Sydney, the talk will be in the afternoon and will present Microsoft's strategy into cloud computing. This will be on the back of PDC that is currently in progress, and based on what information that we will be released on cloud computing.

The event is unfortunately invite only and because of that and the extremely high demand for tickets, there is no chance for everyone to get tickets. The upside is that it will be streamed on the internet, and during this exam period it will let us watch the event online and not waste time getting to and from the event

For more details look at the Power To Developers websites.

Semester 1 plan

I have the following planned for semester 1 for events at the uni!

1. Official Imagine cup launch - there will be some surprise announcements at the official launch so stay tuned
   
2. MSDNAA show case - we will be demonstrating the new MS products that have been put onto the market just recently. Hopefully some hands on stuff and maybe even running one or two labs
3. MSDNAA install fest, im not too sure if this is really that required at CSE, but possibly run this in conjunction with the other MSP that is joined to the commerce faculty.
