I spent the weekend in Perth surfing (not the web, but real waves), so I haven't gotten around to blog about this until now. Instead of a traditional product launch for Visual Studio 2008, Windows Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 Microsoft Norway created a big "Heroes Happen Here" award show. Almost like "geek Oscars". In total 13 awards where given out, and I won the "MSDN Honor award" for my contributions to the Norwegian developer community in 2007! I obviously couldn't receive the price personally since I'm in Melbourne, but I recorded a short video that was shown at the party.
My good friend, fellow RD and Capgemini Colleague Sondre Bjellås won the main award, "Geek of the year", and got some good press, including an appearance on the NRK-TV news! Sondre got a good summary of the event and links to press clips on his blog.
Congratulations to all the winners!
