Melbourne Rocked too. Sydney and Canberra You’re next! I’ve returned home, following the Ready Launch in Melbourne. The Melbourne Community Launch saw the who’s who of the local sql server & dev community. For some reason the karaoke wasn’t as popular as it was in Adelaide. Maybe the Melbourne folks are a bit shy. However, we did see some creative fellows put together a video which featured the Channel 9 Guy and the MSDN Webcast dude . These wacky developers are indeed worthy winners of the Tablet Guy. The Business Launch was hectic.I saw many familiar faces, and  a s in Adelaide I found myself answering a lot of the same questions: How much does this stuff cost How can I get my hands onto VSTS Where can I find hosting for ASP.NET v2 We ended our stay in Melbourne with a trip to Vlado’s , which is a Melbourne tradition. That’s it for this week. Next week we head out to Sydney & Canberra. David Lemphers has been reviewing how to make the Community Launches even better . Let’s make sure each city ROCKS!!!!!
