VSTS Rangers - Guidance II Status Update
Last night we had the first of the Guidance II status update meeting with the VSTS Champs, including MVPs, Rangers and other honourable Microsoft delegates q;-) Thanks Bijan and Chuck (that's the guy who gives MVPs 5min to collect lunch at the MVP Summit...a real champ!), for hosting and coordinating a great session. In short, the feedback and the voting results were extremely positive and I believe that this project is not only firmly on its way, but will add immense value to the community when released.
The use of LiveMeeting is quite exciting and it is amazing to see humanoids collaborating in one virtual meeting, while being distributed around the planet, in a number of very different time zones.

Your comments in terms of the following questions, also asked in the VSTS Rangers review session with the TFS MVPs & Champs, would be appreciated:
- Is the new look & feel of the diagrams intuitive?
- Is the new look & feel of the diagrams professional?
- Should we package the look & feel as a re-usable PowerPoint and/or Visio template?
- Will the quick reference poster depicting common scenarios and references to guidance document be a value-add?

Thanks everyone who attended and contributed!
