Starting the MMS Story

.jpg" rel="WLPP"> So first, I guess some introductions are in order.  My name is Martin Dey and I run the Microsoft Management Summit event at Microsoft.  All good blogs start by defining their inspiration - so here goes.

Today I was working at an event in Las Vegas when I bumped into a Microsoft customer I've known for years - Doug Miller of CDW.  We got chatting about this and that, and ended up chatting about the plans for MMS 2010 this year.  I love bouncing ideas for the event around with past attendees and this was a great conversation as Doug has been to several of the past MMS events.  At the end of our chat he said: "You know Martin, I really enjoyed this.  It was cool to hear what's going on and what'll be happening ahead of time.  You should start a blog about this stuff and let folks listen in - I'm sure they'd be interested."

Well that sounded like an interesting idea.  And I always wondered what this blog stuff was all about.  So here goes for “Martin's Road to MMS".  I've no idea whether anyone else will be interested or if Doug and I are the only ones who get excited about this stuff.  Why don't we find out?  I promise to provide updates here on what we're doing, and where we're going with the event.  If you leave comments I promise I'll read them (and possibly read them aloud to the MMS team too at our weekly meetings).  And as time allows I'll try to respond where I can.  So let's give it a whirl - and start down the road to MMS 2010!
