Yesterday the Microsoft Heroes Happen Here launch rolled into Melbourne for what is expected to be our biggest audience on the tour.

The event was held at the Melbourne Convention Centre with the Dev track running in the Latrobe theatre. I definitely prefer the tiered style seating in Melbourne over the flat floor we had in Sydney. It certainly allows you to see a lot more faces in the crowd and I find it encourages people to ask more questions as they know they can be seen.

 

As part of our sessions, each of the speakers in the Dev track have invited a partner to present a 5-10 minute session on what they are doing with VSTS 2008. For most of my presentations, I have the pleasure of having Carl Rogers from Object Consulting speak about their great Process MeNtOR TeamGuide product and how it can extend the value of VSTS2008. Make sure you keep an eye on Carl’s blog for some great information including a recent post on TFS Adoption within EMEA – A Process Perspective

 

For the Brisbane event I have William Bartholomew from Technology One presenting a small session and in Canberra it’s fellow Team System MVP, Grant Holliday up on stage with me.

Next week we’re off to the Hilton Hotel in Adelaide for the next leg of the launch tour. Spots are still available if you are in Adelaide on Thursday 13th March. Register here.
