Like last year, I'm heading out to the MVP Summit in Redmond. Here's some information on the event:
The upcoming summit, April 14-17, will feature a keynote from Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and closing by Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie, in addition to several sessions, including topics ranging from social media for peer-to-peer support to new developments such as Silverlight mobile to Skydrive. Nearly 1,800 MVPs are planning to attend.
In conjunction with the summit, the Code Trip (www.thecodetrip.com), which launched from MIX and has been traveling around the western U.S., is an RV housed with Microsoft developer evangelists spreading the word about new technologies and meeting MVPs at each stop. The final destination of the 21 city trip is the MVP summit.
As promised here's the code I used during my talk at the Jacksonville Code Camp 2007. As an fyi, you can also get the code for many of the sessions (including mine) off the event's official site
Enjoy and thanks for coming ! :-)

This past weekend I got the news that I've been selected as a Regional Speaker of INETA Latin America. I'm very excited with the news and for me is a great honor to be able to share and help the developer communities via this great organization.
By the way, I've been working with INETA Latin America for quite a while now, helping in the Marketing Comittee. This comittee, among other things, takes care of creating relationships between sponsors and user groups. Check out the site Amigos de INETA Latam (Friends of INETA Latam) where you can find more information about the work we've been doing.
