Unfortunately, this did not make it into the “official” list on the MMS registration site. However, attendees can also write in their suggestions.
If you would like to see a Birds Of A Feather session that focuses specifically on the Configuration Manager SDK (which will be released very soon), please write that in as a suggestion with Jim Bradbury as the presenter. Jim is the SDK writer for Configuration Manager, and Jim Dempsey, the PM for the SDK from the product team side will also participate, so this would give you a great opportunity to offer your feedback and suggestions for this and future iterations of the SDK.

I’ve changed my email accounts to forward to my wife, and the others to go to Ron Crumbaker. I’ve just unsubbed from all of the myITforum.com email discussion lists. I’m getting ready to shut down my PC for the next 3 weeks.
Next stop China!
Wish me luck…

I see a lot of posts in forums, email lists, and on blogs where folks use the acronyms SCCM and SCOM to talk about ConfigMgr and OpsMgr, respectively.
Did you know that if a Microsoft employee uses those acronyms instead of ConfigMgr and OpsMgr, they get in trouble?

Tomorrow is the day — the day I break for the skies and eventually land in Beijing.
I’ll be out and away for about 3 weeks (won’t be back until the 20th), so I just wanted to wish the community well, in the event I’m not able to get to email and the blogs during that time. I’ll have phone and texting capability there, but I’m sure I won’t have a signal in all places that I go, and I’m not positive yet how well the Internet will function.
So, I want to thank those that will be helping with myITforum.com while I’m gone. Ron Crumbaker is taking over the daily management pieces, and my wife, Megan, is handling the sales and marketing requests. Together they’ll do a great job!
But, I also want to thank you, the community members, for doing a great job of building and sustaining this community over the years. You’ve done a wonderful job! And, I know that you will keep doing a wonderful job while I’m gone for the next 3 weeks.
Keep in mind that more of the community burden will be on your shoulders for the next 3 weeks. Keep the fire burning. Invest just a little extra time into the community while I’m gone. If each person in the community spent even just another 5 minutes per day investing in this community by helping someone through articles, blogs, forums, email lists, etc., the community would grow significantly. Give it a shot and I’ll check up on you when I get back.
Wish me well!

From the SMS Writing Team:
From time to time, the Configuration Manager Writing Team gets more content requests from the product team and our customers than we can reasonably handle in a timely manner. When that happens, we like to give members of our customer, MVP, and consulting community the opportunity to take more ownership of the content by helping us out and writing some of this extra content.
I have just such an opportunity ready for someone out there! We have a need to fill a content gap regarding Operating System Deployment Task Sequences. Specifically, we want to provide more prescriptive detail on how to effectively use task sequence variables.
This would involve about a day's worth of interaction per week with someone from the product team over a three month period, helping to collect and organize information largely kept in the heads of certain OSD developers and testers. You would also work with one of the Configuration Manager writers to put this into the appropriate Microsoft style and format. You would receive credit for your contribution by way of a by-line, blog, and forum posts, as well as the respect of your peers!
If you are interested and want to find out more about this opportunity, please contact me, Steve Kaczmarek, at stevenka@microsoft.com
Cheers!
Steve

These trial guides provide step by step directions for experiencing application virtualization. Two different types of trial guides are available based upon the aspects of Microsoft Application Virtualization 4.5 you would like to review:
• The standalone trial guide will walk you through the creation of a virtualized application and execution of the application on the client without the need to setup any infrastructure. This is the simplest trial of Microsoft Application Virtualization.
• The full trial guide walks the user through the same application virtualization capabilities as the standalone guide; however it also includes the steps to setup the publishing and streaming infrastructure options as well.
Once you have completed the setup steps from either guide, you will be able to test the benefits of Microsoft Application Virtualization in your own environment.

…to shed the – (formerly Softgrid) – part of the Microsoft Application Virtualization name?
Every post I see about MAV includes that parenthetical phrase. Relabeling Softgrid with such long, mouthful of a name, I don’t think it will be anytime soon. And, I’m sure that customers are none to keen on it.

Have you noticed when receiving emails from folks, it sometimes says things like:
1. Sent using my Windows Mobile device.
2. Sent from my BlackBerry wireless device
3. Painstakingly sent from my Blackberry
So, maybe the tip here is that if you have a hard time speling or a tough time doing grammar just right, why not just throw something like this into your email signature line — whether or not you are actually emailing from such a device.
=================
Painstakingly blogged from my Windows Mobile device
