Today I had the pleasure to make the first step in Microsoft Student Partners organization (West Germany branch).

It all started when I went to a very interesting workshop on Windows 7 VHD, presented by Daniel Neumann.

So I applied by sending to Microsoft Student Partners enrollment e-mail address a cover letter, my cv and a short description. After a while, I got a call from Anton Schweizer, Senior Student Partner, and I was invited to an interview.

I also had to prepare a presentation. It supposed to be a 10 minutes long presentation on a technical theme. Because I like very much Silverlight, I started preparing it as main subject.

The interview was very relaxed and I got the usual questions: why do I want to join Microsoft Student Partners, why Microsoft, how much time can I invest in this, where and when can I prepare workshops, discussions on Microsoft products.

Basically, I understood that the duties of a Student partners are very similar to ones of Microsoft Evangelist:

  • create presentations for its colleagues in University
  • prepare workshops and assist students while working on a certain theme
  • involve itself in the students life and present Microsoft technologies to them

Very interesting .. I just wait to start! They said that I will get soon a response regarding my application.

 

Later edit:

I WAS ACCEPTED!

Master thesis – Implementation of Breiny

The prototype implementation tries to follow as close as possible the recommended architectural patterns and guidelines. To support the argumentation, a class diagram will be presented to give a visual orientation through the prototype implementation presentation. The built prototype supporting Brainstorming Sessions on Microsoft Surface, further named Breiny, was developed as part of this thesis and uses all the above framework features.

Master thesis – Typical use case

There are two sets of features that must or can be implemented: the first ones which regulate the brainstorming activity as a set of rules; the second ones add productivity to the process, enabling additional scenarios that improve the user experience.
