no really. I did. Go to 0:58 of the 2nd MIX08 keynote to see me ask the question and see Steve's response: http://www.visitmix.com/blogs/News/Watch-Steve-Ballmer-and-Guy-Kawasaki-Live/
[Update: A fellow Ch8er - Ivana Tilca - has excert of the video with my question here. ]
Ch8 got up a post about me regarding this: http://channel8.msdn.com/Posts/3656/
So, yes, I was the student at MIX08 at second keynote with Steve Baller and Guy Kawasaki that asked Steve about they future efforts in academia and possibility of hosting and/or infrastructure for students.
But first, I got to thank him, well Microsoft, about efforts behind DreamSpark, Channel8 and Microsoft Student Partners.
Question was received with mixed reviews and there were even a few negative Twitter comments about those questions too ;) it's all good though. Because Ch8 is now on the map.
I was actually at MIX08 representing Ch8 and those 3 minutes of my life made the rest of the interviews a lot easier for me the rest of the conference, of course once all the speakers I wanted to talk to left or had other plans then sitting down for 3-5minutes with the best place to advocate their voice to the student developer community...
Watch Ch8 home page for the rest of my MIX08 videos coming up soon.
