Infrastructure Saturday 2010 Slide Deck
We had a great time at Infrastructure Saturday on the 6th of November. An epic amount of work was put in by one Mr Mark Rhodes to make the event the success that it was.
The slide deck from our presentation is available here:
Infrastructure Saturday tech•ed Backstage 2010
Ben Parker presented quite a few slides on the enterprise software stack on DemoNet – content that we really missed out on delivering at the event.
We hope you enjoyed the talk – No evals through yet but in the wrap up a guy said that he gave us all “1″s because he thought that was the top score (not 5!) Doh!

Tech•Ed backstage 2010 – VOC208 – The Presentation
We did a talk on the infrastructure behind TechEd 2010 as one of the very last sessions of the event.
The video is available here: http://www.msteched.com/2010/Australia/voc208
The whole talk was very much ‘by the seat of our pants’ as we were insanely busy. Ben Parker, unfortunately, could not make it on stage due to other work commitments at the event. This was a real shame as he is ‘the man’ when it comes to the IT Pro side of the MS Enterprise software stack.
Unbelievably (given the rushed presentation and that most of the slide deck was a re-heated user group presentation I delivered a few months ago because we ran out of time ), we managed to score the #2 spot out of 165 sessions at the event, with an “Overall Satisfaction” of 4.74 out of 5. This is a great result but I cannot help but think there was a lot of other more deserving content at the event that probably should have rated higher.
We had a lot of good laughs – half of them at my expense. The notorious review comment from ARC301 came back to haunt me (2m 20s in … Thanks Jorke

Please provide additional constructive comments, suggestions, feedback. Great look at the unsung heroes of etched. Great way to finish the conference. Great session to end Tech Ed on. More of an FYI session than a learning one but still really enjoyed it and found it interesting. interesting to know how the backend stuff is deployed so if i ever need to do something on a similar scale i will have an inkling of what to do Need to use standard template – one used very hard to read. This session was brilliant – I saw just how much work went into Tech.Ed to get it going, made me even more appreciative of you all! Wicked stuff! -
Frankly Speaking Episode 42
Andrew Coates and Michael Kordahi interviewed Jorke and I for their Frankly Speaking podcast. Tune in and listen; hopefully I was making sense with the amount of sleep I did have at that point of the events.
