Announcing Plugfest 18

The Microsoft File System Filters team is pleased to announce that Plugfest 18 will occur Monday, January 28th - Friday, February 1st. In response to the continued increase in attendance over the past few years, there will be several changes to Plugfest this year. We’re moving Plugfest to a new venue: the Microsoft facilities in Lincoln Square, which is located in Bellevue, WA. Information about Lincoln Square is available here: http://www.lincoln-square.com/ . Note that the Westin Hotel is located in the same building where Plugfest will occur; however, there are many other hotels in the area.

In addition, we’ve synchronized our schedule with OSR (http://www.osr.com/) so that OSR’s Developing File System Mini-Filters seminar will occur the week before Plugfest, January 21 - 24, on the Microsoft campus (where Microsoft’s discount will apply to all attendees). Note that OSR’s seminar will occur on the Microsoft campus, while Plugfest will occur at a different location; the distance is approximately 8 miles (usually a 15 minute drive).

More details, including links to register both for Plugfest and OSR’s seminar, will follow in the next few weeks.

Does anyone know whether we’ll be using DTM rather than HCT tests at the
next plugfest? I’m sure we’d all rather be using HCT tests (even if they’re
not a publically released version), but I guess at some point we’ll have to
move on!
