Hi people!

This time we're going back to Microsoft in London and we have a line up of speakers and activities to keep you entertained.

So, heres the crucial information:

First:

The number of available places is limited to 40 members only.

Sorry that this is so few, however it is the largest capacity room available. We will be allocating places on a first come first served basis, however remember MoDaCo Plus members get priority registration. If more than 40 Plus members sign up then places will be allocated by Plus sign up date.

Second:

The agenda:

This is by no means a strict run of events, however we will try and keep the day loosely along these lines:

Pre-event

1.00pm MoDaCo developers .NET CF discussions

Main Event

1.30pm Arrival and lunch

2.30pm Introduction – MoDaCo

2.45pm Steve Clayton & John de Lara (Microsoft)

Voice server update

Exchange 2003

3.00pm Tim Leung & Tony Poll (Microsoft) : .NET Compact Framework

3.15pm David Ogle (Orange)

3.30pm Break

3.45pm MoDaCo Quiz

4.10pm Demos/chats

5.30pm Closing – MoDaCo

As always there will be competitions, free stuff and the traditional raffle to raise money for charity.

Pre-meet

You may have noticed the first part of the agenda is a "pre-meet". We want this to be a mini-meet specifically for developers of Smartphone software, whether you do it for a living or for fun, we have this time allocated specifically for you to talk to each other and to us at MoDaCo. We are planning on expanding the site to incorporate more support and information on developing with .NET and the .NET Compact Framework, and want to hear your ideas about what you would want from such a site.

How about Manchester for the next meet though?

[Guest squall]

[Guest Brody]

Birmingham and London have been the locations so far, thats Orange and Microsoft respectively, i'd imagine that were a suitable location found it would be a candidate for the next meet? London suits me fine though!
