I have been looking over content for these sessions all week and they are going to be awesome. Bringing this and other stuff to a much wider audience would be absolutely fantastic. Hopefully we can get the word out well in Vancouver and in Toronto! Nigel: I would love to see this track come to fruition for everybody.

It took a fair bit of money to book the extra rooms and ancillary bits like the AV equipment for the Developer Foundations track for just Vancouver and Toronto. There just isn't the money to cover the other 5 cities, so the idea is to use the cities with the largest attendance as a test case. If the track is deemed a success, it'll become a regular part of future editions of TechDays Canada in all cities and we'll budget for it. I believe that we will be recording the sessions in this track and that the videos will be made available to all TechDays attendees, regardless of whether or not their city featured the track. It's not quite the same thing as being able to attend it in person, but it's better than missing out on it entirely. I'd love to attend the Developer Foundations track myself, but as track lead for the Developing for the Microsoft-Based Platform track, I have to stay in my track's room and will miss out Developer Foundations even though they'll be just down the hall. I'm going to have to make do with catching the video recordings instead. Nigel Linnett: I’m afraid not.

Or is that dependent on the turnout in Toronto and Vancouver? Nigel So I take it there is absolutely no chance that the Developer Foundations track will be running in the other cities this year?
