If I wasn't on a deadline I'd be there, assuming I could talk the wife into spending the $700-800 (according to Expedia) for the trip. :(

That would be absolutely awesome. I'd love to put my hands on GS 2.0 and give you my feedback ;)

Unfortunately, I'm about 9025.2 km (5608.0 miles) away. Maybe some other time :)

Unfortunately I have work, and no money to get there. But I'd be more than willing to give you feedback, feel free to send me a URL and I'll just download it. :op

Seriously though, its awesome the 2.0 is getting closer, hopefully you guys are able to get a beta out for testing soon.

Stanlo:

Has anyone received a confirmation that they're in yet?

I haven't received an email from you, Stanlo...did you send one?

I am really looking forward to using Visual Studio Pro again. I miss my plugins and SVN too much to like the Express version.

I have some personal issues that make it impossible for me to attend this week even if I was invited.

Good luck though.

Game Producer:

sounds good - any news from the meeting? Why NDA? Why not share those secrets? ;)

Don't worry, they'll tell us everything when they're ready.

I guess the NDA is needed because it is not the final build of GS 2.0, and they would want to keep things like unfinished bugs or other yet-to-be-fully-implemented-and-optimized-stuff to themselves.

But when it's done we will have everything at our disposal. I can hardly wait for that.
