Using VSTS 2010 Beta1 Team Explorer and TFS in CODEPLEX
I'm actually setting up an environment around that (VSTS 2010 Beta1 Team Explorer and TFS in CODEPLEX), and there is a problem when trying to connect your VSTS.2010 client to the TFS in CODEPLEX.

Workshop “Oslo” introduction: The Future about Model Driven Development (June 30th 2009)
One more event!. Yesterday we delivered a nice workshop regarding Model Driven Development and “OSLO”. I talked most about MDD/MDE (Model Driven Development/Engineering), Model Drive SOA, how can be the future regarding MDD implemented with “OSLO”. Key points, risks, and long term goals and then how could everything be mapped to “OSLO”. Miguel Llopis (Developer in “OSLO” Product Group, in Microsoft corp.) explained “Oslo” design goals and then quite a few demos regarding M language, Quadrant and Repository.

WCF Load Test tool
It’s been just released a few days ago to Codeplex: WCF Load Test. It looks pretty nice! :-) Project Description This tool takes a WCF trace file and a WCF client proxy, or a WCF interface contract, and generates a unit test that replays the same sequence of calls found in the trace file. The code generated is easily modifiable so that data variation can be introduced for the purpose of doing performance testing. The tool generates code for both Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008. It also installs a wizard into both editions of Visual Studio for creating the trace and processing it from inside Visual Stud...

RIA Services (Alexandria) roadmap
Dinesh Kulkarni has written a nice post about RIA Services (Alexandria) roadmap: http://silverlight.net/forums/p/101160/230835.aspx#230835 So, RIA Services milestones are: - July 2009 CTP - PDC 2009 Beta (November) - First part of 2010: RTW (Like .NET 4.0) Another key point is that we might provide support for .NET 3.5 SP1 in the server (where you run RIA Services), not just .NET 4.0. I think it is a good point for many customers who are not so agile to rapidly change to .NET 4.0. I just want to highlight that I say 'we might'. This is just a possibility, it is not a final commitment. :-)
