Lots of help from Microsoft

Kenny Spade from Microsoft is helping us to connect to the people that organize DigiGirlz a travelling conference. He is also getting us in touch with Lego  - who make the amazing Mindstorm robots, which would make a really nice breakout session. He had great ideas for doing breakouts on other topics, like building video games for the XBox. We have to start working on the speaker roster and the program.

Kenny did a lot of work with Foothill college, who seem to be interested in working with us. We will meet Mike Murphy soon.
