I'm currently at TechEd and thought it may be useful to blog session notes, both for myself as notes to refer back to, and just in case anyone else out there is interested in any of the topics. The notes are just that, notes... some of these I need to drill down in to when I get back to work to find out more information, but hopefully if this is a topic you are interested in the notes will give you a start point to drill down further as well. There may be some repetition of notes if I've picked up on an idea again later in the talk. There are a lot of notes, so I'll split the blog posts by subject. This one is about project Gemini. This is the new self service BI tool that will be included with Kilimanjaro. These notes are combined from the Code Camp presentation on Sunday 13th and from Mark Souza's presentation at TechEd on the 14th. Gemini Notes: Slides should soon be available at www.aucklandsql.com (give Dave a few days to get these uploaded). http://blogs.msdn
