Welcome Dan Fernandez to the Channel 9 Team!

The Discussion

• 

  Welcome, Dan!
  
  I'm a big supporter of the weekly digest and answering forum questions idea, by the way. Any sort of dialogue type thing would be great.

• 

  Hey Dan, will you be doing a Geek make-over video show?

• 

  Welcome!

• 

  Congrats Dan. Way to make the U proud!

• 

  Welcome!

  Jorriss! What's up man, long time no hear!! Alas the 'Canes did not do so great this year, but there's always next year
  
  What are you up to these days?

• 

  Wow. Dan is here now... Great!

• 

  Welcome.
  
  I actually have met Dan when he was in Dallas with Eric obtaining developers comments as to what we would like to see in C#.
  
  Look forward to your videos.
  
   

• 

  Hopefully you last longer than Rory.  Good luck with your new job.
  

• 

  Fun times ahead for Channel 9. Glad to have you here, now its time for the initiation.

• 

  Welcome, awesome to have you here.

• 

  Welcome Dan. Good to see you finally saw the light.

• 

  I love the idea of daily/weekly digest for all the updates happening in Microsoft. I just love it.. It would be really cool because interested people will not have to dig in through various websites to find news.. Please do that, my vote on that..

• 

  Welcome Dan...
  Hope We get more goodie.. videos..now coming our way...
  Its been Excellent...here...
  
  I also like the idea of Weekly digest...it will be awesome..& also looking forword to some more .NET deep videos...

  Haha!

  Good luck Dan @ Channel9! How about that AddOn Studio for WoW Channel9 video now?

• 

  I'd like to see Rory defend this one. Yet another INTERNAL employee is hired onto the Channel 9 team.
  
  So the pattern continues...

• 

  It is obvious that you did not clearly think about your comment before hitting the the post button. I have been a part of Channel 9 from the beginning and the balance between INTERNAL and EXTERNAL is about even. For example, Scoble, Adam, Erik and Beth were external.
  
  In fact, I could provide a list of people who have joined Microsoft based on the efforts of Channel 9. For sake of argument, I will assume that your comment is based on an interest to join our team and are afraid that not being internal hurts those chances. This is not the case and I will look forward to seeing your resume as we can always use more people to help us respond to random comments.

  I'm afraid I would fall short in the area of obsessive study of Microsoft^® Teams and Product lines. I prefer a much more balanced approach and would end up asking much more pointed questions that would actually have the curious side effect of improving your products.
  
  I don't see that as being the initiative behind these videos.

  Do you actually watch the videos we publish? Certainly, we have to focus primarily on our stack, but we most certainly do not conduct interviews as one would expect the average marketing coconut to do.
  
  When you see us behaving like mindless propaganda drones, please do call us out. We'll fix this errant behavior because it would in fact represent a bug in the Channel 9 content production system (the human content producer, specifically)...
