--------------

Next week, in = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Los Angeles at the
Professional Developers Conference (PDC) , Microsoft will be describing major
changes planned for both Visual Studio and the Windows operating
system. The conference ends on Thursday afternoon with a panel discussion
about programming languages. In conjunction with this, the Common Language
Runtime team will be sponsoring a lunch in the Programming Languages and Tools
Track Lounge from 11:30am to 1:30pm on Thursday, October 30. We've invited
the members of the language panel as well as language and library designers
within Microsoft to join us.  "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

The meeting is primarily social, but
we'll take the opportunity to give a very (very, very) brief presentation on
some of the implications these changes have for programming languages and
libraries. We'll also describe a meeting being planned for mid-February or
early March for detailed technical follow-up in this area. 

We'd welcome your participation if
you are attending the PDC. And if you can't make it, we'd like to hear
from you by email -- send a note to PDrayton@microsoft.com.
