A crowded unit testing BoF
This mornings BoF lead by James Newkirk was truly crowded and goes to prove that .NET developers are taking testing seriously. Considering the level of participation in the discussions there might actually have been too many participants as there were no real discussions, more statements regarding to experience summed up and commented by James Newkirk.

Sharepoint Portal Architecture and autogenerating WSS site forests
I've been checking out the Sharepoint content on this years teched, and some of the hands-on labs might be somewhat interesting.

New version of CruiseControl.NET
Took me a week to notice, but CruiseControl.NET 0.6.1 is now released. New features include auto-get of VSS source code (man that took me a while to realize was missing from the last release), support for ClearCase plus support for a light-weight integration with devenv (VS.NET) to avoid using NAnt for smaller projects. The devenv feature makes testing kinda hard so they also included possibilities for running NUnit directly aswell.
