Greetings Orchard enthusiasts! MIX11 is upon us, and there will be some fun stuff for Orchard happening there. Sebastien and I are both in attendance, and would love to connect with any of you that are here for the event. Here's a breakdown of places and times where Orchard will be present. Feel free to blog, tweet, and generally pass along...
Open Source Fest Monday, April 11, 6:00pm - 9:00pm PDT, Mandalay Bay Ballroom D Sebastien and I will be staffing an Orchard table here, along with more than 50 other OSS projects you can mingle with. This is open to all MIX11 attendees, and those in attendance can vote on their favorite open source projects. The winners will get a prize and some recognition at MIX11, but the key is the chance to showcase the open source projects by the community, stir the collective brainpower, and network. There will be food, drinks, a fun atmosphere, and a chance to meet many of the MIX11 speakers and attendees. Voting results will be announced at MIX11.

Scott Guthrie's Day 1 Keynote Tuesday, April 12, 9:00am-11:00am PDT, Mandalay Bay Ballroom HF You won't want to miss this - Orchard will be prominently featured in a really compelling demo. It's streaming live on the web for everyone to see at http://live.visitmix.com (an Orchard site, by the way :)), so it's open for all to attend. More info at http://live.visitmix.com/Keynotes. Orchard Breakout Session: "Deconstructing Orchard 1.1: Build, Customize, Extend, Ship" Tuesday, April 12, 11:30am - 12:30pm PDT, FRM06 I'll be showing off the latest amazing things we've done for the Orchard 1.1 release (we are counting the hours to launch, stay tuned...), building up a nice-looking site along the way. You'll get the scoop on how all the new stuff in 1.1 fits together, to provide great experiences and address the feedback we've been hearing from you on 1.0. The talk demos new stuff, but also gives good context to attendees that that haven't taken a look at Orchard before (MIX has a very broad audience and Orchard is still somewhat unknown). If you're not here at MIX, don't worry - you'll be able to catch the video online afterward on Channel9: http://channel9.msdn.com/events/MIX/MIX11/FRM06. Orchard Community Reception and Live Meeting Tuesday, April 12, 12:30am - 2:00pm PDT, Palm E on Level 3 Get your questions answered and comments heard by the Orchard team at this community reception and Live Meeting event immediately following my breakout session. We'll have the whole Orchard team connected to a Roundtable Live Meeting from Redmond, so we can take questions from MIX attendees and also over chat window in Live Meeting. This is a pretty free-form event - no strict agenda - but it's a chance for us to connect and collectively brainstorm about the project. In addition answering your questions, we are eager hear what you think of 1.1 and to get your thoughts on what we should be thinking about for future milestones. Hope you can make it!
