The meeting was hosted by Microsoft on September 27, 2007 at Microsoft's campus in Mountain View, California at 1065 La Avenida, Building 1. (Building 1 is set back from the parking lot.)

For details about the location of the event, see the Silicon Valley Campus information page at the Microsoft website:

• http://www.microsoft.com/about/companyinformation/usaoffices/northernca/svc.mspx

The meeting was in the Galileo Auditorium. The Galileo Auditorium is located on the 2nd floor of Bldg 1, the main building in the middle of campus. Once you walk through the Receptionist Lobby (Main Lobby 1st Floor) you’ll be directed to the far stairwell up toward Galileo. No food or beverage in the Auditorium. Eating and drinking in the Galileo Lobby/hallways is fine.

Date/time

• September 27
  • Doors open at 8:00

Dial-in

We probably will have a polycom in the room and have the meeting dial into the following number:

• 1-888-227-9220, Passcode: 871757

At previous face-to-face meetings, people on the phone had a rough time because some speakers did not talk loud enough. We will try to do better this time, but there are no guarantees about the quality of the conference call.
