Good news that Scott Hanselman is coming to TechEd NZ which runs from Sept 1-3 in Auckland.

Hopefully this year I'll get to present again. The past two years I have had fun presenting PowerShell sessions, and there's lots of news of new PowerShell providers (and more coming), so there should be something good to report.

This year TechEd is tantalisingly close to PDC - which is Oct 27-30 in Los Angeles. I say 'tantalisingly', because a lot of teams within Microsoft will be holding off releasing new versions of their technology, or making big announcements at PDC (e.g. the mysterious Purdy team language / editor stuff will be divulged then).

Thank goodness for open projects like ASP.NET MVC - we're seeing right into the bowels of the project on a regular basis thanks to their open and frequent releases.
