OzFox Lite update

There's been a whole bunch of News about OzFox Lite announced lately, including speakers, sessions and ideas for how you can help make it a fantastic event.

Note that most of the announcements about OzFox have been on my personal blog.
From now on it would be better if you kept an eye on my blog at http://craigbailey.blogspot.com for all the latest news.

OzFox 2006?

Just so you know, I am 'thinking' of hosting OzFox 2006 in September 2006 in Sydney.
Nothing confirmed or advertised at this stage. Just a little tidbit for anyone watching this blog.

New in Nine books

The New in Nine books have arrived.
We'll be psting them out to you in the next few days (assuming you were an Early Bird registrant)

OzFox survey back up

The OzFox survey is back up - sorry for the downtime.
(And thanks to Lauren Clarke for letting me know).

If you haven't yet given your 2 cents worth I'd really appreciate it - it will figure heavily in when the next OzFox runs.

New in Nine book

A note to the early OzFox registrants about the promised New in Nine book.
Never fear the book is on its way. Sorry it is taking so long, but we hope to have your book mailed out to you soon.

Thank you list

I thought I had posted this yesterday, but it doesn't seem to have made it. Anyway here it is again...

A big thank you to all the people who helped make OzFox such a success.
The thank you list is here.

OzFox is go

We're off to a great start.
Yesterday we kicked off with Ken Levy's opening keynote showcasing many of the VFP9 features. Next up Rick with sharing .Net web services, then Cathi with VFP and .Net in action.
After lunch David showed us some of the VFP9 user interface enhancements, Mike talked about exception handling and then Doug blew us away with reporting features. Scott finished a jam packed day with his cool Solution Explorer tool.
I'll add details when I get time. See also Andrew Coates blog.

Single day registrations

Due to developer demand we've added a single day registration option to attend OzFox.
Come for a day (perhaps fly up from Melbourne or down from Brisbane) and see all the speakers. Come on Monday and you'll hear Ken's opening keynote.
Stick around for the Conference dinner.

1 week to go - iPod and VFP prizes

There's only a week to go until OzFox - I can hardly wait.
We've had a few more registrations which is great.
As an added incentive to attend we're putting all registrants in the draw to win an iPod Mini and a copy of VFP 9.
The winner will be announced by Ken Levy at the conference.

2 weeks to go

There's less than 2 weeks to go now until OzFox. I've finished almost all the preparation including conference bags and final timetable.

Also, a few people have asked about single day registrations. Email me at cb@talman.com.au if this is of interest to you too.
