This year's PDC will be my eighth as a speaker and my third as an MSFT employee.
The last two PDCs were more or less the same in terms of my involvement.
This year, I'm also helping out on selecting roughly one-fourth of the talks being given, which means I have the added pleasure of having to say "we don't have room for your talk" to lots of my friends in buildings 42, 35, 41, and 1.
We have a finite # of slots and a seemingly infinte amount of content to fit in, all of which is "vital and strategic" to at least the person pitching the talk.
One amusing moment was yesterday when ChrisAn described a proposed talk as "super geek porn."
I hope that talk makes it in.
