Ek sal aanbied by die New York SharePoint Developers groep-byeenkoms in New York by die Microsoft Kantore op 6 Ave op Dinsdag, 01/27 op 6:00 PM (net meer as 'n week van nou af!).
It’s going to be a technical presentation where I walk through the process of creating a custom workflow action that can be packaged and installed into a SharePoint environment and used by SharePoint Designer to create declarative workflow solutions.
Think this: http://www.codeplex.com/spdactivities
I’ll do a little evangelizing as I go along, making the case that developers should really think hard about the benefits of this kind of effort. it goes something like this: Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, build him a custom workflow action and he can design and implement his own business process for finding fish (or any other food!) and leave the developers alone to do the heavy duty complex programming that developers are best at doing.
It’s obviously a developer oriented session, but I do encourage curious end users and admins to show up. Even though the specific process of creating a custom action is targeted directly at developers, the meta conversation about one is not.

Ek sal moet doen twee voorleggings by die SharePoint beste praktyke konferensie in Februarie in San Diego.
Ek het nie hierdie ding lank genoeg te kry verveeld deur dit, so elke konferensie Ek woon is 'n, eerlik, ontsagwekkende. Egter, I do think this conference is special. There is zero marketing focus and the whole thing is about offering real-world practical advice on how to untangle some of the thorniest issues we face dealing with SharePoint. It’s not gigantic, sodat al die sprekers is baie toeganklik (ten minste wanneer hulle nie om uit vure terug by die huis). This means that in addition to the great formal presentations, jy kan 'n paar groot gesprekke en debatte met feitlik elke spreker by byna enige tyd, starting with communal breakfast up to late night imbibing at the hotel bar.
Bo en behalwe die sprekers, you’ll have great opportunities to build and cement networks of other SharePoint users in the community. By the end of the last session and conference wrap-up, jy sal energiek en vol goeie idees terug te bring om te werk om te help om jou SharePoint omgewing verbeter.
Dit is die moeite werd om die belegging.
The web site is top notch. Check dit uit vir datums, registrasie, onderwerpe en sprekers.

Sessie titel "Implementering van Werkstromen in 'n groot skaal SharePoint Omgewing"
Workflow in SharePoint is 'n opwindende nuwe vermoë. Egter, dit is 'n moontlikheid wat dikwels misverstaan wanneer dit kom by die impak wat dit het op jou omgewing. Vir klein omgewings, die out-of-the-box instellings, konfigurasies en argitektoniese benadering is waarskynlik voldoende. Maar wat van 'n omgewing wat die verwerking word duisende dokumente per dag? Hoe kan jy seker maak dat die omgewing nie sal wankel onder die las, maar steeds aan SLA se vir prestasie en responsiwiteit? Hierdie sessie sal ondersoek waarom die fokus op jou werk substelsel is belangrik, en dek die behoeftes van 'n groot skaal workflow omgewing van die plaas vlak af na individuele workflow ontwerp spesifikasies. Hier is die rede waarom al werkstromen moet gekyk word in die lig van die prestasie en scalability asook hoe werkstromen daardie skaal te bou in 'n omgewing wat skale, monitor workflow verwerking en oorkom algemene struikelblokke. Hierdie sessie sal argitektoniese riglyne om jou SharePoint omgewing sowel as spesifieke kodering praktyke dek te verseker dat jy die meeste uit van jou SharePoint werkstromen kry.

Ek het foto's van die PowerPoint vir een van my sessies, "Kry Groot maatskappy se behoeftes," hier (http://cid-1cc1edb3daa9b8aa.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/Paul% 20Galvin% 20Great% 20Requirements.pptx).
Afgesien van 'n reeks van briljante punte, kragtig gemaak, the deck includes extensive notes which supplement and enhance the afore-mentioned brilliant talking points.
Vir dié van julle wat die Best Practices konferensie gemis, I was lucky enough to present and discuss a process that works very well when trying to discover accurate end user business requirements for SharePoint projects. The PowerPoint plus notes describe this in pretty good detail. It supplements one of my earliest blog postings here: http://paulgalvin.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!1CC1EDB3DAA9B8AA!146.entry

In die laaste twee weke, Ek het die New Jersey SharePoint gebruiker-groep en die nuutgestigte New York SharePoint bygewoon Ontwikkelaars gebruiker groep (in teenstelling met die meer gevestigde New York SharePoint gebruiker groep).
In New Jersey, the good people of NewsGator presented their product and covered a lot of very interesting social computing concepts. If you’re looking to incorporate social computing into your organization in a system-assisted way and can’t get out-of-the-box SharePoint to do it for you, ernstig gaan uit "NuusGator". It’s very good stuff. A lot of great social computing functionality and (in 'n demo-omgewing ten minste) baie goed gedoen.
I’m personally convinced that companies that begin to adopt social computing attitudes and systems will outperform those that do not. It’s too useful to ignore or, op hierdie punt wat ek dink, to even delay. It can make a tremendous difference in day-to-day operations if done correctly. I’ll write some more about this later.
In New York laaste nag, the NY SharePoint Developers group kicked off its inaugural meeting at the MSFT office on 52nd and 6th. John Bender presented on how to create a custom stsadm extension. I’ve read about it, maar dat dit "lewe" clarifies things. It’s much easier than I realized. No need for features/solutions, just an XML file and a DLL. He walked through a process for recursively finding and displaying security settings for sites and lists in a site collection. He took it farther to describe how this could be part of an auditing process. This group focuses purely on development and so doesn’t come into conflict with larger more established SharePoint user group which is frequently talking at a higher level.
Daar is groepe regoor die wêreld. Check them out.

Ek praat by die SharePoint Best Practices konferensie in November.
It’s sort of a funny story. I was in Virginia presenting at the SUGDC konferensie and that Friday was the deadline to submit speaking proposals for the BP conference. The organizers described how they would use a "blind selection" proses en dat alle pogings aangewend sal word om die aanbieding te kies op die basis van sy waarde, ens.. To maximize my chances of getting selected, I submitted two proposals. The selection committee picked both.
My kollega (Natalya Voskresenskaya) and I will discuss a real-world governance model that we and our client put together for a substantial SharePoint rollout project last summer. The objective here is to describe the details of the governance plan and why we believe it represents best practices in the context of Sharepoint, Regering en soortgelyke maatskappye.
Tweede, I will present a process for obtaining great business requirements from End Users. This goes back to one of my very early blog posts, inaptly getiteld "MOSS: Effektiewe inleiding tot 'n organisasie".
Hierdie konferensie kyk na crazily vol van goeie inligting en ek raai skeur jouself weg van jou werk vir drie dae, aansluit by op hierdie aanbiedings en netwerk met beide konferensiegangers en sprekers. It will be time and money well spent.
Hope to see you there 🙂

Onderwerp: Using Content Query Web Part to Create Business Solutions
Sprekers: Paul Galvin & Natalya Voskresenskaya
Datum: Julie 16ste Welkom Tyd: (Eet & Netwerk): 6:00PM Tyd: 6:30 PM -8:00PM
Ontmoet Beskrywing
MOSS 2007’s Content Query Web Part (CQWP) gebruikers in staat stel om persoonlike menings van data bevraagteken uit baie bronne te skep, en dat die data in een plek. Ten spyte van sy gevorderde soektog & inhoud verfyning opsies, CQWP is dikwels 'n onderskatte en oor die hoof gesien funksie. CQWP is both a "data extraction engine" (dokumente of lys items op enige plek in 'n webwerf versameling) en ook 'n eerste-klas aanbieding hulpmiddel wat gebruikers in staat stel om te bepaal hoe die inhoud aangebied word deur die wikkel HTML en style aan die display bykans enige wyse wat jy wil.
In hierdie demo-swaar sessie, hulle sal jou wys hoe om die CQWP te gebruik om probleme op te los deur te wys kernaspekte
• Gebruik verstek CWQP funksies, insluitend gehoor gerig
• use CWQP as a reporting tool anywhere in a site collection via filter criteria such as "all documents created today"
• verandering blik & voel van 'n navraag resultate besigheid data na vore te bring, toon addisionele kolomme van inligting, vertoon die inligting in 'n rooster formaat, en ander
• wys hoe CQWP kan help met die inhoud tipe administrasie (d.w.z. vind al die dokumente van 'n bepaalde inhoud tipe so as 'n potensiële impak van die verandering van 'n CT definisie te verstaan)
• beskryf 'n paar beperkinge van CQWP
• 'n lys van hulpbronne vir gevorderde CQWP tegnieke, insluitende blogs, ECQWP Codeplex projek & MSDN dokumentasie

Ek het my eerste keer ooit SharePoint konferensie this past weekend and it was a blast.
Donderdagmiddag, Ek het toe af na Virginia, gelei deur my nuut gekoop $50 GPS appliance plug-in thing to my phone. The device was flawless. After the five hour drive, Ek het die energie wat 'n lekker run te doen op die loopvlak meul en dan, selfs meer verbasend, had the energy to head to the lobby for an advertised speaker’s cocktail hour. Conference n00b that I am, it turned out that the cocktail hour was really a ruse to get speakers to show up and help stuff papers and swag into shoulder bags for conference attendees 🙂
Had a hard time sleeping because I was speaking first thing Friday AM. Nervousness, a nagging feeling that I needed to add a slide to my presentation and a very disturbing cat show on Animal Planet kept me up late. Since I went to sleep late, I naturally got up early. I did add a fairly detailed technical architecture slide. It was well worth the effort because the 25 minute van Q&A would have been very awkward without it. I was lucky to get the first slot in the technical track. Sahil Malik was originally going to speak Friday AM and I was going to speak Saturday but he needed to swap times. This allowed me to do my presentation and then sit back and enjoy everything going forward Friday and Saturday.
The presentation went OK. I definitely have room to improve it. I spoke about how we can access and use web services from a SharePoint Designer workflow using a custom action. Over time, Ek sal bind hierdie inligting in my reeks oor by EUSP.com for End Users trying to get the most use out of that tool. I blew through my slides and demo in 35 minute, to my dismay at the time. Luckily, V&A was lewendige, no doubt helped by the fact that it was early morning before lunch. V&A is my favorite part of any presentation.
Daar was baie interessante onderwerpe en ek hoop om te blog oor hulle in groter detail hierdie week (tyd dit toelaat, soos altyd). A fellow from CMS Watch provided a highly critical yet very hopeful review of SharePoint’s position in the market. A different discussion focused on the paucity of SharePoint resources and the difficulty that recruiters have finding good talent that is also "affordable" in this very tight market. The CMS Watch guy referred to the SharePoint human resources pool as being like a "guild." I’m mainly familiar with that term in MMORPG terms and it gave me a little thrill, to be honest 🙂
The highlight of the conference was just meeting and catching up with people I’ve "known" online for a while. The best was sitting at the bar with Becky Isserman (MossLover) vir 3 of 4 uur (en dat, nadat ek klaar drink vir die nag). I don’t often get to talk about Farscape of Babilon 5 met Kansas City inwoners.
Bob Fox was daar en soos gewoonlik, is 'n storm van die intro, chats and just plain frenetic energy. He invited me to Saturday breakfast with Sahil Malik and that was great.
Saterdag (dag 2), Mike Lotter gesleep hom na die konferensie te praat oor Path en dan het hy by Becky aan die einde van die dag het 'n soort van algemene Q te doen&'N sessie vir ongeveer 30 aan 45 minute hoofsaaklik gefokus op Path (Mike) and AJAX (Becky). I wish Becky had been able to go through her full/formal presentation but I’m sure I’ll get a chance to see that one of these days. I have a feeling she’ll be "hitting the circuit" vorentoe.
I could go on and on. Two last points — the financial purpose of the conference was to raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network and it raised $5,000. That was awesome. Ten slotte, Ek wil in die openbaar te bedank Gary Blatt, Gary Vaughn and Bob Fox for alerting me to and allowing me to speak at the conference. Natuurlik, the two Gary’s had a team of people supporting and organizing and all of you were awesome. I had high expectations before I went and it was better than I had hoped for.
Keep on the alert for the next conference scheduled for November 7th and 8th. Aside from some great content, dit is geweldig vir die vergadering met al die aanlyn persoonlikhede wat jy deur middel van blogs het bekend, Twitter, forums, ens..
