If you're a games developer-type and you're interested in Microsoft's XNA developer platform, they're holding a couple of free sessions in Sydney and Melbourne this week:

You will enjoy meeting Pete Isensee the head Mafioso behind the XNA Developer Connection Group. He will enlighten you with wisdom, excitement and there are sure to be tears. Failing that, you'll get to throw your "wishlist" at him and hope something sticks (don't be afraid to explore your inner gaming geek within).

No love for brisbane?

I don't think so, I'll check through the list of two places again - nope.

Thanks for the double check.

Oh wait I see... no, sorry.
