Oh, I have to tell you guys about Jake, one of 2 SPOT MVPs in the world, and the only one that was able to attend the summit. Jake is maybe 15 years old - 16 max! I had a couple different talks with him, and I must say that Jake really knows his stuff. He mentioned his website to me, but I've forgotten the name already. Sad Anyway, since he was the only person in his product group, Jake's sessions consisted of him visiting different members of the SPOT team - at their desk. Imagine getting the chance to chat 1 on 1 with the developers for a couple days. Very Happy

Where ever you are Jake, I'm certian you've got a bright future ahead of you. :way to go:


Update: Google rocks! In case anyone is interested, here is his website: SpotDev.net Cool


If there was coverage here, I'd be all over Spot. Not to the point that Jake is, but I'd love to have a Spot watch.

You don't have any coverage? Wow, I thought it was in all major area's. I know we have some coverage out here, but it's a long way from 100%.

Golden, BC isn't a major metro area, AFAICT. Wink

Embarassed That would explain it. I didn't realize that Golden was a city. I thought it was being used as a description of the province of BC. I guess the comma should have given that away. Sorry 'bout that. My bad.

And you call yourself a Canadian!? Wink

(Seriously, I only knew because CT has referred to its remoteness on PPCT.)

Sadly, yes. My knowledge isn't what it should be. Many of my friends that have immigrated to Canada, know much much more than I. My only visit to Vancouver was last week when I spent 2 hours sitting in the airport between flights.

Now, in true Canadian fashion.... Hockey season opener tonight! WooHoo!! Got me jersey on now. Just waiting for the game to start. Very Happy

No offense intended, but I need to ask....why is it after every MVP conference, all I read about is urinals and shooting guns and who drank what. That is all very cool and I enjoy the stories. I understand there are a bunch of NDA items under discussion. But I hardly ever read about relavent things after the meetings.

MVPs are supposed to be OUR conduit to Microsoft in a sense. Information is supposed to flow both ways thru you guys. Am I wrong?

Yes. You can read what an MVP is at http://mvp.support.microsoft.com - anything above and beyond that is gravy.
