Your chance to meet Raymond if you are near Palo Alto on the 23rd

There’s been a slight change in plans. I will be in Palo Alto on April 23rd rather than April 20th. Not that anybody is affected by this beyond the folks at Microsoft’s Silicon Valley Campus, since nobody else took me up on my offer. I guess I’m not as popular as I thought. Update 13-Apr-2007: Here’s my schedule for April 23rd when I’m down San Jose way.

9:00am – 10:00am: Brocade chat
10:30am – 1:00pm: Google presentation + lunch chat
1:30pm – 3:00pm: Apple chat
3:30pm – 7:00pm: Microsoft SVC presentation + chat + dinner

Now the term “presentation” is a bit of an overstatement. It’s really just me telling a bunch of stories, but instead of sitting at a table with a bunch of people, I’ll be standing in front of a room. Same stories, different audio system. I’ll have a number of stories prepared, but I’m hoping some of the chatter will inspire other stories. (I won’t do a coding presentation because, I mean really, a presentation on Win32 programming topics is bo-ring.)

Extremely limited guest seating—we’re talking one or two people—may be available at the Apple chat. The other appearances are closed-door. Dinner plans have yet to be settled, but I suspect that’s your better bet. Contact me directly for details (if you haven’t already).

Author

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
