Man, sometimes you have to give Microsoft credit. They reach out to the community.
Matt got the following invite from Microsoft:
You are cordially invited to participate in an open forum designed to generate many questions and provide some answers to the tough issues you may face in your daily work life. You have been selected due to your influence in the developer community. You have established yourself as a force in your community, with your pen, or in your leadership. We want to start a dialog with you regarding our products. Our hope is that these dialogs that will encourage both questions and comments, as well as give us a chance to get to know you.
What: 1st Annual Technology Summit for the Developer Community Leaders
When: March 15-18, 2005
Where: Corporate Campus -- Redmond, Washington
Complete travel and expenses will be covered by your sponsoring Developer Evangelist from Microsoft. In addition to the intense 2 1/2 days of technical content, we will be hosting evening "Simply Seattle" events to showcase some of the best Seattle has to offer and to provide time to get to know one another and your Microsoft hosts.
How smart of Microsoft? When was the last time Sun invited people like this, from their own community, let alone from another one!
Have fun Matt!
