Building IIS.NET, the web site
As you've probably picked up already, we care a lot about IIS.NET and the development community that we are forming around the Web site. The IIS product group is deeply invested in putting relevent and insightful content in place, as well as providing a forum for code development and sharing. We talk about the site and you customers out there every day. We partner with Telligent to build the IIS.NET infrastructure. We have one great Telligent developer who works on the site, Scott, and are looking for another to help him continue to build the best IIS community site. If you are interested in Web site development for our IIS community, you can check out the job posting for Telligent here:

Optimizing for media delivery
I had the opportunity to speak at TechEd US in June this year, co-presenting with Brad Abrams and Sam Zhang on creating and delivering rich media on Windows Server 2008. Brad covered Ajax and Silverlight, I talked about WMS and some new functionality that we're planning to integrate into IIS, and Sam did an AWESOME demo of live streaming, from encoding in Expression to delivery to a Silverlight client via WMS. Demos at big conferences like TechEd can be scary enough, depending on its complexity -- Sam took it to the next level by setting up a full end-to-end live streaming environment, with a web cam balanced on a little tower of catering trays and an ice bucket, a client laptop and a server laptop. The demo went smooth as silk -- any time Sam gets tired of coding, he has a second career as a speaker.

Hello
Hi, everyone. My name is Mai-lan Tomsen Bukovec. I joined the IIS team three months ago as the Group Program Manager for IIS. I haven't blogged to devs in a while, not since I talked about Visio dev issues at http://blogs.msdn.com/mailant/archive/tags/Dev+Blog/default.aspx. I've been at Microsoft for about eight years now (egads, I feel old), working in the Server division (Microsoft Transaction Server and a new Windows Server SKU code-named "Centro") and the Office division (Visio). I've had a lot of fun on the IIS team in my first three months and am fired up about getting the latest IIS7 bits out to you all.
