I was blown away by the keynote.

The new architecture (Win RT) makes it amazingly simple for any developer with knowledge of either C++/C#/VB/JS to build Metro Style desktop applications, deploy on app store, share across other applications and much more.
Most importantly, your existing knowledge of these technologies is applicable.
I would very much like to organize a circle of lebgeekers that are interested in such development so we can meet, exchange ideas and even have small coding sessions.
We'll use this topic as both circle enlistment and discussion of Metro style app development.
For the lack of a better choice, I'm calling the circle the MetroGeeks.
Below is the list of lebgeeks members interested in participating, I'm making some assumptions, if you're not interested, I'll take you off. If your name is not here and you're interested notify me and i'll add it. Please note that this is not a tutoring circle so knowledge of windows development or web development is required in order to participate.
