Tickets In Hand; Bags Packed (Well, Not Yet)

Okay, I have my plane tickets for Dr. Dobb's SD Expo India. Let's see, first stop Chicago, then Frankfurt, and then on to Hyderabad.

Once there, the plans are to hook up with our speakers -- Scott Meyers, Hugh Thompson, Andrew Stellman, and Ken Pugh -- in Hyderabad for the first session on January 16.

The exciting news is that we'll also be joined by Jason Beres who will discuss agile approaches and enhanced user experiences, S.S. Ramakant who will discuss Distributed System Deployment under VS 2005 Team System, Naveen Gupta who will talk about SOA adoption, Abishek Mathur who'll cover the process of moving from merely tracking to actively managing projects in VSTS 2005.

From Hyderabad it is on to Chennai on January 17, and then to Bangalore for the January 19th session. While David Katch, who is organizing the whole shebang, has plans that involve me working (jeez, halfway around the world and I still can't get away from the boss), I have other ideas -- like getting a chance to meet some of you who I've communicated with over the years. I also hope to get a chance to ride scooters (yes, I'm a motorscooter/moped freak) around to see some of the cities. (I can charge that to my expense account, right boss?)

If you have any questions, let me know -- and I look forward to seeing you there.
