Tech·Ed this week was tons of fun and an amazing experience! I worked several booths, interacted and networked with a large number of my peers, and enjoyed almost every moment. Needless to say I was thoroughly exhausted when I got home. One of the highlights of the week though was the Wednesday night INETA Developer Party at Chaya; thanks to Infragistics for helping to sponsor it! The food was great: sushi, great wine, delicious pastries.
During the course of the night the topic of New Orleans and Tech·Ed came up, and I suggested that we fly in a day or two early and volunteer for an organization like Habitat for Humanity. The whole table was in agreement and every person said they would do it.
Today, I sent an email to Habitat for Humanity inquiring about volunteering on June 5th, 2010 which is the Saturday before Tech·Ed. This is where you come in. If you are interested in arriving early for Tech·Ed 2010 to help rebuild New Orleans, please contact me so I can start to get a headcount.
