Hello Dear Blog Readers,

(hmmm....that kinda sounds like the beginning of one of those SPAM emails)

I wanted to let you all know I am moving on from Microsoft and shall no longer be blogging here. I'll be moving an archive of these posts to my website http://www.greenitstrategy.com and shall continue blogging there on Green IT.

So what will I be doing now?

Well, I have decided to take some time off, write a book and maybe look into starting my own business. Regardless, you can always catch me through my website and please do feel free to visit me there.

Thank you to everyone who contacted me with their Green IT questions over the past two years and gave me feedback. I really appreciate your support and good luck with your own Green IT initiatives.

Kind Regards,

Bianca AKA Little Miss Enviro Geek

Yesterday I received the official invitation to join Microsoft Hohm, which I blogged about two weeks ago. So I went to the link today and tried to login.and I couldn't! Apparently I need a 5 digit postcode - so I assuming only US postcodes not Australian ones are eligible. :-(

So I posted an issue and will update you all when I get a response.

cheerio,

**ATTN: Aussie businesses.Visit Microsoft US on a mission to "green" IT

biwirth — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 03:08:56 GMT

Austrade and Microsoft have announced a less-than-covert mission to visit Microsoft US offices for a three day intensive boot camp on Green IT and innovation. The event is targeted at Australian businesses with innovative software technology and solutions that:

improve energy efficiency
address climate change and disaster management
enable green IT

and have:

a proven track record of selling technology solutions in Australia and offshore
reference sites
financial and management commitment to exporting.

You will meet and get access to industry executives at Microsoft, gain an understanding of how to position your company with future technologies like cloud computing, and discuss innovation and technology in panel sessions. As there are limited seats, applicants will be reviewed by a panel of industry leaders based on their alignment to the above points.

The cost is $4,140.00 which includes transportation in the US and the Austrade service fee for developing, managing and implementing the event. It doesn't include flights or accommodation.
