Heroes Happen Here !!! Yeah that is the theme we chose for this launch. After all, arent you guys the Heroes, going out and solving the customer problems that keep creeping in day-to-day?
I had in my earlier post talked about the Visual Studio 2008, SQL Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 and the sessions I am delivering over the same. Also, we have a community launch that happens across 14 cities. The agenda for the same should be out shortly at the Heroes Happen Here website, keep checking for the same.
Meanwhile, we also have an 80 City launch that would be delivered by our partners (you see, we can't be everywhere
) We are in the process of putting up the content, tracks and the venues for all the cities. Rest assured, its not fun, planning this event, but delivering this is going to be fun because, we are going to reach out to all the small cities and towns where we always encounter brilliant minds. Much as we presume that the IT Folks are from tier-1 cities, there are many cases, when we encounter experts from small towns.
The agenda for the 80 city launch, should also be up shortly in the website.
Post these events, we are going to have a virtual launch during which there will be day long webcast sessions on each product, one each for Visual Studio 2008, SQL Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008, that would happen. You can check for the agenda and registration at http://www.microsoft.com/india/webcasts The pre-launch webcasts are happening right now and if you missed my webcasts on Visual Studio 2008, Web Development and RIA development, you can download the recordings from http://www.microsoft.com/india/webcasts/ondemand.aspx
So, rest assured that you wouldnt miss the action and can always catch up with one of the above events. If you are attending any of these events, we would be glad to meet you and hear from you, your experiences.
Cheers !!!
