The MVP Global Summit ended today. It has been a great week here at Seattle and Redmond. There were 1753 MVPs present at the summit and 1000 Microsoft employees from the product developing teams were involved in the event, delivering presentations, talking about the things they do for the next versions of their products and, most important, taking a lot of feedback from the MVPs. Personally, I spent two days with the Visual C++ team, and the feeling among the MVPs there was great. In the past there has been some frustration among us about the quality of VC++, but now we have a good feeling that things will change and VC++ will retake its place and lead, at least to some extent, the innovations deliver by Microsoft.
Here are some pictures from the summit.

That’s it for this year summit. Looking forward for the next one.
Today starts the MVP Global Summit in Seattle and at Microsoft’s campus in Redmond. I have arrived yesterday in Seattle, one day later than planned because I lost my connection flight in New York. At least after spending the second part of Saturday waiting in lines (one hour at the Customs, two hours waiting at Delta’s counters for a rebook, 45 minutes at the hotel for checking-in, and at least 30 minutes at the restaurant to get a table to eat) I traveled to Seattle at business class. I already met some friends here, from Romania and Germany and I’m looking forward to meet the others and take part at the sessions planned for this summit.
Here is a picture taking from my room at the North Tower of Westin Hotel.
Microsoft launched yesterday Visual Studio Gallery, a site hosting Visual Studio extensions. Currently, there are over 350 such extension, free or per charge. The extension include macros, add-ins, packages, project templates. A good thing is that anybody can contribute with content to this gallery. There are some very good extensions available in the gallery.
You can read more about it on Microsoft VSX Team’s blog or on Somasegar’s blog.
