Cross posted with my Team System blog:
I've got two great opportunities if you would like to interact with the VSTS team and help shape V2 of the product. The first opportunity is a chat this Wednesday with the Dev & Test tools team. The chat starts at 10:00 AM PST (1:00 PM EST) - bring your questions and comments about Team System features such as the Profiler, Test Tools (Unit, Generic, Manual), Web & Load Testing, (and my personal favorite) the Code Analysis tools (FxCop & PREFast). Bring your really challenging questions - they can handle it (honest). Here are the details:
Team System MSDN Public Chat
Visual Studio Team System for Software Developer & Visual Studio Team System for Software Testers
When: Wednesday 10/19/05 @ 10am PST
http://msdn.microsoft.com/chats
(FYI, the one hour long Team System chats happens on the third Wednesday of every month @ 10am PST).
The next opportunity comes via Rob Caron - have you had a really good (or bad) experience installing Team Foundation Server? If so, the Team System group wants to hear from you to improve the overall experience. Take the Team Foundation Server Setup Experience survey and let them know how you feel about the product. Here is a direct link to the survey: https://mscuillume.smdisp.net/Collector/Survey.ashx?Name=TFS+Setup+Beta+3

A while ago, I wrote an Builder.com article on Flash obfuscation. One of my readers pointed out that I forgot to mention SWFGuard. Looks like a good product based on the specs - I'll have to give it a spin once I get a moment's rest.
Flash movies are now getting ridiculously easy to break into. I recently lost the ActionScript code from one of my Flash movies and found that a product such as Sothink's SWF Decompiler produced the source code in seconds flat! I wasn't too worried - but I can imagine that Flash content producers have to constantly test their movies against piracy and theft. Anyhow, if you are interested in the topic of Flash obfuscation, check out my article here: http://builder.com.com/5100-6375-5111586.html

I just got word last night that:
1) My MVP status has been renewed for a third year, and
2) I am now officially a Team System MVP!
Thanks to Noah Coad, everyone on the product team and everyone in the MVP program for your support! Interestingly enough, Etienne Tremblay and I appear to be the only Team System MVPs in Canada (there are 8 MVPs currently listed on the website).
What's on the horizon? Here are a few projects in the works:
Stay tuned...

I'm finally back from the MVP Summit. I had a great time but it was exhausting - kind of a "sleep-deprivation experiment gone wrong" and jetlag. I'll blog some more about the trip but first I thought I would share some of the pictures from the event: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jldavid/
Rob Caron has also posted some great pics from the event here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/16605222@N00/tags/mvpsummit2005/
Or you can view everyone's photos by Flickr tag:
