AustalianTech.Ed 2005 Media-casts
The Podcast Network is not just about about providing podcasts for our network listeners...oh no...we are also working with a few companies in helping them to develop not only podcasting (audio) but also other types of media-casting for their own uses...and the first one just went live...and its BIG! :)
If you are in Australia...and you are a developer who uses Microsoft products...you should be going to Microsofts annual developer conference, Tech.Ed 2005, which is being held on the Gold Coast at the end of August...and if you wanted to get a taste for what was going on at the Australian Tech.Ed this year, how would you do it??? Well...you would not have to go any further than the Tech.Ed Media-casting (RSS feed coming soon) site would you...
During the lead up to Tech.Ed 2005, you will be able to watch (thats right...they have video) and listen (and audio) to Microsoft Australia staff and a selection of session presenters (mostly MVP's) talk about why you should attend this once a year opportunity. All of this material will be available on the Tech.Ed 2005 media-casting site.
During Tech.Ed, you will also be able to get (almost) live audio and video updates straight from the event from a number of blogs run by MS Australia staff...including Frank Arrigo, Charles Sterling and Michael Kleef. We will also set up a category over on The MS DEV Show site with all the Tech.Ed 2005 material as well.
And who is producing this excellant material i hear you ask...well...it would be none other than Mick (thats me) and my TPN co-founder, Cam...thats right, the people behind your favourite podcast network (which is TPN of course...right??).
So go and check it out...it looks like it will not only be the biggest media-cast ever done by Microsoft in Australia, but i think it would be fair to say that it could turn out to be one of the biggest media-casts of an event done in the world...full-stop (next to Mike Halls excellent Tech.Ed and MEC podcasts from the US this year).

Do you need help? I just Came back from Progress Technology World that was on the Gold Coast and it was fantastic (both the conference and the GC).
We had an event at the Dracula's Theater restaurant and it is FANTASTIC!!!!!! If you get a night off, do yourself a favor!

Posted by: Phillip Molly Malone at August 9, 2005 10:35 PMThe media casting thing is nice and has potential to be more than just promotional eye-candy. But PLEASE, lets try to show the world how PodCasting can make events more like gnomedex2005 than the US TechED!
Read THIS.
And like Molly, I'm prepared to help (for free!)
This is important.
