MVP summit - The SharePoint MVPs rock!

There is simply no competition. If anyone asks you what kind of MVP you want to be - say SharePoint. We are the best group of MVPs in the summit.
What makes me say that? read this from Lawrence Liu (Microsoft) about what we did this week.

Day 1 of the MVP summit - gaming discussion, kangaroos and

After the previous post I went to a session where we discussed the gamer community and how to promote it. we talked long and hard about many problems in the gaming community and it was very interesting. Would you agree that gamers have better hand-eye coordination than non gamers? would you agree that gamers are less likely to use drugs?
Anyway, after that we had welcome dinner and I hung around with the other Australian MVPs. Our Australian lead from Microsoft (Rose) brought two inflatable kangaroos and our table was the most popular table - so many people came to take a picture with the kangaroo. Since I was standing behind it, I am sure you will be able to spot me in blogs all over the world.
Hey - lets make a challange out of this - spot me in a picture from a different blog, post it in the comments, and I will...errr...I have no prizes, but I will post a big thank you right here for you!
Here is a blog with the kangaroo picture (but no Ishai) so you can see what it looks like.

Another MVP from Australia was promoting Schnubbs - the .NET tiger. Check out Schunbbs' blog and enjoy. He posted some pictures from yesterday soon - including one of mine with Schnubbs on my head:

First day in the MVP Summit, Seattle

So, I arrived here yesterday for the great MVP Summit of 2008, but I am sick. I am sneezing and coughing and my head is swimming. I guess people here will remember me as "that guy who kept coughing during the presentations".
Bugger.

For that reason I am missing the annual SharePoint MVP paintball game that is going on now, and I am sitting in my hotel room, writing this post.
On a brighter note, I have visited the Seattle Aquarium this morning and found it a very nice one - very well displayed. You have to love those otters.

Today we have nothing serious to do - some open sessions that I was planning to go to, but that have nothing to do with SharePoint - so I am resting and trying to build up my strength for tomorrow. That is when things get interesting and I will be hearing all kind of plans for SharePoint, and meeting with the people who make the product. Do you have any questions you want me to ask? just comment on this blog post, and I will try to get you answers.
