If you haven’t heard about Microsoft PDC 2008, then check out this post: http://www.danrigsby.com/blog/index.php/2008/08/18/microsoft-pdc-2008/
The PDC team announced today (via the speakers page) that Chris Anderson and Don Box are going to join Ray Ozzie and Rick Rashid as keynote speakers. Chris has been at Microsoft for 10 years and has been heavily involved in things such as WPF and XAML, but has been working on Oslo for the last couple of years. And we all know who Don Box is. The addition of these 2 keynote speakers only helps solidify what we have already assumed: PDC 2008 is all about cloud programming.
The speakers page still states: “More keynote speakers will be announced soon!”. So we may see more keynote names coming soon. There are 3 keynote slots in the agenda right now, but most of these slot will have multiple speakers.
