I’ll be speaking in Denver at the SharePoint Fest event on May. I’m going to discuss some common business and technical want-to-do’s in SharePoint Designer workflows and outline some patterns you can use to solve them.
There’s a lot of other very interesting stuff going on at the conference, so check it out: http://www.sharepointfest.com/Denver/
It’s not a free event and I have a discount code handy, so leave a comment or ping me and I’ll gladly give out.

If you’re in the area or decent driving distance, you should consider taking part in the next DC Area SharePoint Saturday event. This event has an interesting focus:
The focus more geared toward Federal Government and Public Sector SharePoint systems to case studies, how to’s, best practices, and methodologies.
That’s pretty good stuff. It will be interesting to see a “focused” SharePoint Saturday event, a first for me.
I will be speaking on the general topic of “To Upgrade or Not to Upgrade – Practical Advice on Why and If You Should Upgrade to SP 2010”
I haven’t prepared the presentation yet. If you have an interest in this topic, from any angle, please leave a comment. I’ll respond and I’ll incorporate it into my presentation.

I hesitate to pass this along given that “banjo jokes” is not an option, but … The end-of-August SharePoint Saturday (Baltimore edition) organizers have a poll up asking for suggested topics. Go here to fill it out: http://www.sharepointsaturday.org/baltimore/default.aspx
Vote early and vote often 🙂
But seriously, only vote once.

[Updated 12/07/09 to use gigantic windows live icons since the links were broken. Windows live doens’t know how to embed .wmv files that are hosted on sky drive, apparently. Or, I can’t figure it out, which is maybe more likely.]
A few weeks ago, I was scanning through my twitter stream and noticed a tweet from the Microsoft BPOS team. They were looking for volunteers to do live meetings that show-cased business solutions delivered via BPOS. (They still are and if you’re interested in doing that, message me via live spaces and I’ll make an introduction).
In the course of preparing for the live meeting, I created two recorded sessions using Camtasia (a really terrific tool, BTW).
The first session is about 16 minutes long and focuses almost entirely on the business solution with very little discussion about technology. Click this giagantic windlows live icon thing to download and view it:
The second session is a much longer at 32 minutes. It is more detailed and has more technical background info. Click this other gigantic windlows live icon thingie to view the longer recording:
The actual live session took place a few days ago. I zipped through the presentation itself and as a result, there’s a good 20 to 30 minutes of relentless ( 🙂 ) Q&A that is a great complement to the videos I link above. When I get the recorded meeting link, I’ll post that too. I think that in combination, they provide a really good foundation for understanding BPOS and its current capabilities.
If you have any questions, contact information is in the presentation itself, so feel free to ping me via email.

I’m badly rushed for time this week, so I’ll leave it at that. I usually like to preview some of the already-emailed questions. This week, you’ll have to dial in to hear about it 🙂

The next SharePoint Shop Talk takes place this Thursday at 12:30PM EDT.
We’ve taken two weeks off (due to SharePoint Conference last week) and as a result, we have a number of questions in queue, not to mention all kinds of cool stuff to talk about regarding SharePoint 2010. All of the panel members attended SPC, so bring your SP 2010 questions to the call or email them to questions@sharepointshoptalk.com.
Aside from a good part of the call set aside to talk about some SP 2010 goodness, we’ll also discuss:

I expect that nearly everyone knows this anyway, but I thought I’d toss out a quick note that there’s a tremendous amount of very interesting information available via twitter. The hash tag #SPC09 seems to be the most popular. Like always, there’s a lot of silliness and “in” jokes, but if you can get past that, check it out. I do my best to respond to comments or questions directed to me and I know that a lot of others do as well, so it’s not just a one-way flow of information.
New sessions start in just under two hours and continue up until about 3pm EDT this Thursday. It will start to pick up then.
