Off to Microsoft SecuritySummit!

I got my Microsoft MVP award renewed for another year, mainly for my work in the BroadbandReports Security Forum, and tomorrow I'm heading up to Redmond for a mini Security Summit.

Microsoft holds a Global MVP Summit in the spring, and ~2000 of us show up for a week of technical breakout sessions, but they decided to hold a mini summit for just the security folks: I think there will be 50-60 of us.

Pretty much "all security, all the time", but I will take time out for lunch with my new friends in the Printing/Imaging group: though my MVP status is not really related to them, I've begun to participate informally in an online chat and conference call, and this fits in nicely with my print-driver work. Maybe I'll call it an MVP "minor" to my security "major"

The highlight of the trip is dinner at the Space Needle Wednesday evening. I'm bringing my binoculars :-)
