Another very nice Microsoft event. I’m thinking to make a 3hr trip from Redmond/Bellevue, WA, where Microsoft is located, to Vancouver on June 2nd. It will be nice if I win either Expression Studio or 250GB LaCie Drive. Cheers!

I’d love to make this event. I’ll be up in Vancouver this summer…but not that weekend.

Love the star wars intro. I wish the event were closer so I could go.

宝宝图片

Sounds like a great event — can’t make it, but hopefully they’ll bring it closer to home in the future!

I would love to go to one of the dates, but won’t be in either of those cities then. Oh well, would love to win one of the prizes.
Jonathan
wish it were closer, but i might still be able to go…
Jim
I would love to go to this event!
Nick Yeoman
I love free stuff!
Brandon
To be honest, a lot of people think that the conference is Microsoft so they will not go, but Microsoft really has a lot of innovative people there. I really wanted to go…
Cokeramirez
Great giveaway, anyway, I didn’t like that the webpage for the event was on flash… I think that’s not a difficult design to reproduce with html+css+jquery
Chris Praley
I really want to go! I love conventions like these, even if it is Microsoft there. There’s usually a lot of innovative people there.
Peto
gimme gimme gimme
David Ma
Interesting, though I’m not really clear what Make Web, Not War ‘09 is covering.
Loky
It’s an interesting initiative, “Make Web, Not War”, and they say it’s 2009 edition. Does any of you heard anything about previous edition(s)?
…oh, and good luck to everyone with the give-aways ;)
Joshua
I’d be interested in learning more about the event. Doesn’t seem clear what exactly will happen there, but I seem to fit the criteria of someone that should attend.
Andrew
Will you be going to and reporting from this event? “Thank you” to Microsoft for doing the give-aways!
Juan Ignacio Lacueva
Nice name for an event!
Sean
To answer a person below me, this the first of these conferences. Seems moderately interesting…I wonder why they do a lot of these events in Canada. Is it cheaper?
Heldrik
Looks like a nice event to attend!
Andrew
Looks like a good idea… wish I knew more of what it covered and that my whole job was in this area… never have enough time to learn all of these new ideas.
Victoria
Cost is very appealing “Donate what you want” and recommended donation only $10. So everyone will be able to attend.
Ron Green
Sounds like it might be pretty good.
nm_guy
Clever name!
Ricardo
yeah cool task, I guess every chance against violence is good.
saud

Darsh
I imaged that Microsoft would have used silverlight(even though this is a partner program) on http://www.webnotwar.ca/. but apparently they haveused flash….lol. but the concept is pretty good.
Adriano Estevam
Cool! Unfortunately can’t attend this time.=(
Sander van 't Hof
Sounds like an awesome event. Unfortunately I live in the Netherlands…
Stefan Atterdal
Why can’t they make web in Sweden? Is it because we don’t have war?
Tobad, it would’ve been great here with yllekoftor and meatballs.
rawsta
sounds like a really nice event… but i think it would be a bit expensive to come from germany to this event.. but i try to follow this event over the web ;)
manuel
Interesting event. Just a little too far away for me…:( But I’ll spread the word.
Can you win flight tickets too? ;)
I hope I win something, last time I won something was..when I was twelve, twelve years ago and it was a frisbee!! ( I remeber well on this great event :)

tommy
Make Web, Not War, huh? It’s all so clear now!
Luke Anderson
Sounds awesome, wish I could make it! Unfortunately, I live in the UK. Oh well!
Behzad Saeedi
Iran is surely far from Canada too Marco! don’t worry ! I wish I could be there too ! anyways, how it is possible to make web without a war ?! there will be a war in your head when you want your design to be the best you’ve ever made ?!
anyways! theres no such activities in my country ! I wish I could go out to another country to study just “Web designing” !:P
Shishant
I believe it will help raising the web standards and get us out from the traditional bad practices which is bugging the whole net.
Chris Elliott
this giveaway is great. It looks like you can enter a drawing on the Make Web Not War to win other prizes as well!
Thanks!
SJ
You gotta love the Star Wars style take on the website! “the enchanting PHP princess…” :)

Kelly Lawrence
Man, it sucks that both events on are on complete opposites of the country, and I’m practically stuck dead center!
Well, at least maybe winning some prizes would make up for it! :D
Hariharakumar
I dont know the actual concept of this event(Make Web, Not War ‘09 ), but i would like to attend it.

It’s a very cool idea and I love the slogan…
Cool prices, I hope I win… I could use a 250 GB HDD :)
Well, if I won the other two ones I’d hold a design contest with them as prices :D
I’ve asked microsoft once whether they’d like to sponsor me personally but they answered negatively, because my blog (http://asmodiel.de) is too small… :(
Lafney
Looks like a fun event. I hope it makes its way to Massachusetts.
kiero

Angie, Microsoft Canada
Hi everyone – it’s great hearing all the positive comments about the event. My name is Angie and I am one of the lead organizers of ‘Make Web, Not War’ 09. It is one of the first times we’ve done something like this from Microsoft for the Web Community & really looking forward to seeing you all there. I have noticed some confusion about what the event is really about so here are a few things in summary, that will be of benefit to you:
o Hear from other Web Partners who build on Open Source & Microsoft technologies
o Network with fellow members of the Web Community
o Learn about the latest Microsoft technologies & how they work with Open Source
o Get technical training of Web Tools to build your Web Development portfolio
o Win prizes in the Web Partner Contest & get your Web Warrior DVD of all the latest Microsoft Web Resources
If you have any questions or feedback about the event, feel free to reach out to me directly at [email protected] or follow me on twitter @angielim. If you are looking for more information feel free to join the Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/event.php?eid=118669152176&ref=ts or our Twitter feed at @WebNotWar.

Matthew L
Looks like a great event… Hope that it takes off. Nowhere near my area though… these things never are.
Ada
LOVE the site design. Great event.
bovinethrower
Toronto is a bit far for my amateur web skills. Those who can go, enjoy it for me.
Sameera
This is open across the globe? :D
If soo..
Mike
i wonder what that event is going to be about?
Cindy Wilson
I was surprised that there was so little info offered for what looks to be an outstanding event. Will continue to watch for updates to their site. Site design is interesting but it might have been fun to create the look that the video is going for – 60’s Make Love not War look.
sham
Wow thats great !
Thomas
Cool! thanks a lot!
JC
the best event ever for the best product.
karsten gråbæk
Amazing stuff.. I hear that Microsoft is very in to Umbraco – a fantastic CMS.. Thanks for a great site.

Thomas Conto
I love these opportunities. External for the win!
Aswin
Ya looks like a great event for all web developers out there. Also its a gud news that microsoft has now started providing greater support for php web applications through their tools and server. Hope this will help tame the ulimited possibilities of the PHP language using simpler tools and GUI’s.
But since i’m not a canadian i’ll miss this event a lot.
Vet-al

I particularly hope that this event they announce the death of IE6! =)
And lucky for me! Any one of three prizes falls well!
Dre Armeda
The StarWars Intro image on Make Web Not War is pretty funny.
If the event was in Chicago I would definitely check it out, should be a bunch of fun.
Thanks to Microsoft and Web Designer Wall for an awesome opportunity.
Cheers,
Dre
lanbran
Sounds like a great event and the giveaways are good too!
Javier Gutierrez

Jeremy Ouellette

I never find time to get to these things when they are in my neck of the woods, and now here’s one I can make … if only I lived in Canada.
*sigh*
Ron
been waiting for this… Pick me Please!
Danielle S.
This looks like an event I’d like to go to, but alas, I’m stuck in NY. Have fun :D
theDesigner
That sounds a great event. If would near to the event location I must be a speaker but I think this is just a dream. I’d like to be at the third position.
Mustafa Bugra
Too bad that the event is only in US :(
Marcin
The event could be managed all over the world. Maybe next one will happen in my home town :)
Dylan
Sounds cool.
Marius van Belkum
Sounds cool?
Pick me!
Barci
I’d love to visit Canada one day :)
Valentin
When’s the Europe meeting? :)
kimatg
I wish Microsoft would do more events like these in Korea as well :(
Osvaldas
I’m in!
Well, title “Make Web, Not War ‘09” I understand as a good sign from Microsoft, believe or not but I see IE6 motives here. I believe it’s all about the piece.
Brooke
Sounds Sweet, I hope I win!
Ben
If microsoft want to stop a war they should discontinue IE and save us all from bad hacks. x
Johnboy
Will the Internet explorer developers be at the show for us all to throw rotten fruit at?
Rob
If someone could pay my air fair I’d be there. Love to go back to Canada one day.
azcazandco
Shame I live in Scotland, a little too far to travel for the conference. I did once see Chris Wilson speak though and he was actually very good.
Shame IE is still naff!
Hercu
We dont’ need IE hacks :-P
It’s beatiful that everyone has chance to win ;-)
Dave
Make love not IE
thai
release all those things form the video of the future!
Lance
Wew! I guess Microsoft should do this more often :) Thanks for the freebies :) I’m looking forward any of the items mentioned :p
Rafael
Superb! I wish I could go to this event. =/
Yeti
Could always use some more external storage :)
Daan
It’s good Microsoft tries to organise this sort of things to get closer to their most hated people, the webdevs/designers who have to code for the IE’s :(
I just hope they’ll announce some drastic change there :)
Thanks for the sponsor though, yay for microsoft! (I actually said it :P )
Elizabeth K. Barone
Why are all the awesome cons in Canada? Maybe I need to organize a road trip! Tech con envy aside, I am going to a horror con this month to meet Bruce Campbell and Robert Englund, so I guess that makes up for it. (:
Enjoy if you are going!
Cindy Roetz
Wish South Africa was more proactive when it comes to things like this, Its easy to allow the world to do things for you. I think we def need more web awareness down here
Sascha
Canada is nice, but faaar away from me :-( …next stop: Spain please!
However, a good opportunity to say how nice and helpful this web site is. Keep up the good work!
Antony
For sure going to this event!
Raimi B
why not give this a shot.. :)
CupidsToejam
I’ve been wanting to check out Expression Studio. I’ll take the prize right now please, thank you. No really, right now.
Sarah
This event sounds amazing, wish I lived closer so I could go too!
Jan-Philipp
I would even take other things than the listed prizes! :)
Olivia Krowicka
I just registered. I think some people at work will definitely also want to attend. This should be a lot of fun.
Yuri
I hope Microsoft puts on a good one!
Mads Hensel
Canada, maby a bit longe way for some one who lives in Denmark!! But I’m shure you’ll have a great review on you wall!
Jeff
Hopefully M’soft will host a shindig a bit closer to home! I have been wondering about expression studio… I wondered if it was all that it’s cracked up to be.
Andy
I’d love to take part in this event, but I’m afraid, I won’t get from Germany to Vancouver or Toronto.
But I though would like to get this OfficePack…
Ginnie
I would love to go, but I am nowhere near that area this summer! Such a pity! =(
Robyn Lynn
I’m a total newbie, but as it happens, I am in Vancouver and just heard about this…day before, so maybe I can still get in and learn from some great designers! Thanks for the heads up!
Cynthia
When will this happen in L.A…..
Brandon Dove
it would be interesting to see what Microsoft’s view of what “making the web” is. IE is notoriously the worst browser to code for.
Michael Wilson
Hahaha, this should be interesting – I don’t have anything against Microsoft, they just.. shouldn’t be doing browsers anymore. I hope silverlight comes out with some sick tech though.
Stina
The event seems interesting, and is even close by to me. Love the design of their website with the nerdy looking kid on it.
Manula
hope one of your upcoming episodes will held on Asia
Jeremy Ham
http://www.webnotwar.ca/ – not a bad site, but whats with that paper tear?!
And dont start me with the buttons…
hope i win though… although I doubt it now :)
Anubis From Memphis
Heard Expression Studio is pretty cool … But I would love to have a LaCie too … !
Oto Brglez
Awesome. Some nice speakers with a lot of knowledge. Would be nice to attend. Perhaps I will. It’s always nice to see so many tech people together changing the world.
Hussein
Hi,
I heard that web expression is great , but I like LaCie Drive in a freaky way , lol
great giveaway
Bim
I want to win!!
nick
Yes! I always love free stuff! Any of these prizes would be great. Wish I could attend the make love not war event.
Cipa
Really? I’m on war against IE.
Daniel G Butler
This looks fun and great prizes!
Svetlana
Very interesting event! Unfortunately can’t attend it :(
Jonathan
What fun. Sounds like a really cool event. Sweet prizes. :)
Anna
While it seems interesting, there’s no way I could make it clear across the US to Canada to attend. Any chance for some coverage of the event for the rest of us?
Katie Oakes
Hopefully this event will be full of good information.
Ben
I would love to attend this event. I am very interested in getting more involved in website design. It is too bad that I can get away from work long enough to go. Not sure how I feel about using the Star Wars theme on the announcement though.
Marcelo Novaes
They really should take the guys who designed the event’s site and put him to work on their “Bing” search engine…
Nice event, nonetheless. Too bad I’m currently kind of far from there!
Cheers,
~Marcelo
Rychi

Love the blog, it would be great if you could post more often.
César
Well, in the office we have tasted the expresion web since the first version and i don’t know if is so usefull, Adobe is a really monster too defeat. I would like to know how microsoft will teach or convince to use expresion blend, design, etc. The best software that the suite have is Expression web, it´s really great! I used for construct the html/css of http://www.metrabajo.com. It’s like a dreamweaver CS3 but can read better microsoft lenguage and it have a very usefull thing that is that you can see the Styles aparience in the box of CSS, it´s really nice. But I cannot get used with Expression Blend. Expression Design is very very simple. The othes soft i have never tested.
Alicia Teater
Love the main page on the event website! The spin on Star Wars was great! Just getting started creating a website for work so it was a fun inspiration since we are all Star Wars “lovers.”
Peter
Im wondernig what Microsoft brings to the web for new stuff. They are way behind in the browser market as they stood still the last couple of years in the eyes for new techniques.
Although IE8 comes close they better make a kill update for IE6 users so that they will update to a newer version what makes life easier for developers around the world!
Hope I win the studio software ;-)
Lowell
The nerdiness of the website is fantastic! I’d be so in to hang out with anybody who is gonna be able to make it!
halvor_bars
I’m interested in what Morten Rand-Hendriksen will have to say!
I hope they put some clips from the conference up online!
Yaki
Seems interesting. The site throws me as all the different styles… but maybe that’s the point. And since when does Microsoft care about everything being the same… haha ….THANKS for the contest!
JonDemon
Wow… great chance!.. I hope I win the Expression Studio
Alan
Good stuff. I’m anxious to see what Jeff Traynor has to add to the conversation.

Nice to see microsoft pushing for web standards!
If IE gets up to date on cutting edge CSS standards we could see some pretty cool web sites pop up!
Rick
These Microsoft events are usually quite informative. I’ve never been disappointed by one.
gafields
mmm… pretty far from Italy. why they use flash instead of silverlight on the site?

I fell in love with web design about 6 months ago because of w.d.w. and now I’m making a living of it. I’d love to be able to share my experience like you do one day, it’s inspiring.
June 10th, heading to Toronto. Yeah!
Rafael Nascimento Sampaio
Interesting, but in toronto for example only have capacity for 200 people, I think they don’t plan it to be a really international event, otherwise some itens from agenda look very attractive like the ftw and the audience interaction for example, I like games so my vote for game loung should not matter hehe.
Holly
Sounds interesting, glad to see they’re trying to embrace web standards.

Hi All,
I am from the UK and are visting family and friends in Canada for a few weeks, anyways I went to ”Make Web Not War” event, it was my first Microsoft event and pretty happy I did. Building Interoperadle Web Apps with PHP (this presentation by Yann Larivee speaks about what makes PHP one the the most dominant technologies for web development) it was intresting and PHP rocks!!! I hope next time they give a bag to put the goodies in…oh and those lovely prizes… :) Derek
Ethan Hackett
I totally understand Microsoft’s desire to make web not war, but most of my daily battles are because of IE…. so….. that statement kind of gets lost with the reality that it’s mostly their fault.
Jourdan
Awesome event! I’m feeling lucky!
Juan Manuel
Muy buen espacio.
Saneel
Great site…hope I win a prize!
