MSDN China Webcast on XPe Componentization - I did it!

  • Artigo

The evening of April 29 2008 Seattle Time, or the morning of April 30 in China, while most of the team had gone home, I hid myself in the office and delivered my first webcast to MSDN China customers on XPe Componentization through my little laptop. The webcast was done via Live Meeting. There were about 24 attendees. Because of a glitch of the Live Meeting server when the attendees were asked to fill out the feedback survey at the end, only 9 of them submitted the feedback. The results looked good. I also noticed the variety of the attendees in terms of cities they are from and companies they work for.

In the webcast presentation, I quickly mentioned the new naming of our Windows Embedded product family and encouraged everyone to sign up for the launch event webcast of our next product release in June. Then I talked about the basics of componentization, ran the demos of using different tools such as Process Monitor to componentize an application, and at the end quickly covered some tips and tricks. A classic intro on componentization, thanks to the original presentation and demo authors Andy, Lynda and Shiv on the team.

I have presented to live audience in TechEd China and MED China in the past. Still, going through this webcast was quite a lot fun (and challenging of course), from the weekend I began translating the original English version of the PowerPoint presentation to Chinese, to the moment today when I was able to review the webcast online myself for the 1st time. “Not too bad”, I took a deep breath, “Let’s do it again!”

Yes, indeed, I have just sent emails to other people on the team who also speak Mandarin. Hopefully I can recruit more speakers and topics for our Chinese customers. In fact given we have team members from all around the world, e.g., Germany, Korea, Italy, and more, we may very well run webcasts in other languages in the future. Stay tuned for that. Let us know your thoughts too.
