My team, SQL Server Modeling Services team (previously "Repository") delivered the following as part of this CTP: Repository patterns, System.Runtime domain and Microsoft.Uml2 domain.  This introductory video provide a high level overview of SQL Server Modeling Services.  Besides Douglas Purdy's blog, you can get answers to SQL Server Modeling CTP FAQ at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd129873.aspx. 

I am not at PDC 2009 this year, but have been reading the keynote summaries online.  The following PDC 2009 Resources Page contains download links for key application development technologies including:

• Windows Azure Platform Training Kit
• Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0 Beta 2
• ADO.NET Entity Framework Feature CTP2
• Microsoft Application Architecture Guide, 2nd Edition

Even though you can obtain relevant information being presented at the conference remotely, it is not same as physically attending a conference in person and feeling the energy from other attendees. Also, it is sunny and 67 degrees in Los Angeles today - compared to cloudy, rainy 48 degrees here in Seattle!
