Wow, it's hard to believe that November is half over already. I spent a bunch of time in October planning customer visits and have been out visiting people since the last week of October. Now I'm reviewing the notes and looking for common themes to apply to our planning for Maya and MotionBuilder. They were all good meetings and we got a ton of good feedback. On top of that, the customers we met with think we're on the right track - that's always encouraging and reassuring.

One of the questions that comes up when I mention this is "how can I get the dev team out to see my studio and talk with us?" Usually what we do is ask the sales force who they think we should see. So, the easy answer is to let your sales rep know that you would like to meet with us. Of course, there are many more customers than there are people on the dev team so we cannot see everyone. A very good alternative is to set up a phone call and perhaps a web meeting.

What's next? I have a couple more weeks at home and then I'll be on the road in December again.
