Børge Hansen is the latest employee of the DPE team at Microsoft Norway. The DPE team is responsible for MSDN Live, the Norwegian MSDN site, follow up on MS related community activities, Norwegian Developers Conference and are the technical advisors from MS for Norwegian companies. If you're a developer this is the guys you should get in contact with to get closer to Microsoft and find out what they can do for you.

Anyway, Børge is DPE's Architect Advisor. I've met him a couple of times and already had some interesting discussions. We're currently discussing if there is something we can do in the community (like NNUG) to spread the word about architecture and what it means to be an architect. Hopefully something great will come out of this and we as architects (or coming architects) will have a architecture community to throw ideas and discussions at. One of the things I vision is that architecture is less platform dependant, so there should be room for more than just MS technologies in this community.

Would be interesting too get some architecture community to discuss and share ideas. Also agree that it should not be a Microsoft only thing.

On of the early decisions of an architect is on what platform to base the architecture. I am sure that there are many other technology platforms that are sometimes a better choice to solve the problem at hand ;)

So having a diversity of technology platforms represented gives us all an insight in the other world and maybe we learn something from it. Having said a "we versus them" situation should be avoided, but I am sure that won't be a problem.
