Vou presentar na reunión de Nova York SharePoint creadores grupo en Nova York, nas oficinas de Microsoft o día 6 de Ave o martes, 01/27 en 6:00 AM (pouco máis dunha semana a partir de agora!).
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.

Eu vou estar facendo dúas presentacións no SharePoint Conference Mellores Prácticas en febreiro deste ano en San Diego.
Non teño feito isto por tempo suficiente para chegar canso por el, entón todas as conferencias que eu asistir é unha, francamente, impresionante. Con todo, 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, para que todos os altofalantes son moi accesibles (polo menos cando non están apagando incendios de volta a casa). This means that in addition to the great formal presentations, pode que algúns grandes conversas e debates con practicamente todos os altofalante en case todo o tempo, starting with communal breakfast up to late night imbibing at the hotel bar.
Ademais dos altofalantes, 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, vai ser fortalecido e cheo de boas ideas para traer de volta ao traballo para axudar a mellorar o seu ambiente SharePoint.
É ben vale o investimento.
The web site is top notch. Check it out para datas, rexistro, temas e relatores.

Bob Fox nos permite saber que Dave Mann, SharePoint xenio fluxo de traballo, está falando na reunión do grupo NJ SharePoint usuario na noite do mércores, 11/19/08. Don’t miss it. (Desafortunadamente, meu señor corporativa ten programada unha reunión do grupo grande noite Ven e vou perde-la).
Prema aquí para alta e obter máis detalles.
Aquí están algúns detalles da sesión:
Título da sesión "Implantando fluxos de traballo nun ambiente de grande escala SharePoint"
Fluxo de Traballo en SharePoint é un recurso novo e excitante. Con todo, é unha capacidade que é moitas veces incomprendido, cando se trata do impacto que ten sobre o seu contorno. Para ambientes pequenos, os axustes out-of-the-box, configuración e visión arquitectónica son probablemente suficientes. Pero o que pasa cun ambiente que vai ser o procesamento de miles de documentos por día? Como pode estar seguro de que eses ambientes non vai vacilar baixo a carga, senón que atender SLA para o desempeño e capacidade de resposta? Esta sección pode explorar o porqué de centrar o seu subsistema de fluxo de traballo é importante, e cubrir as necesidades dun ambiente de gran escala de fluxo de traballo a nivel da explotación agrícola ata especificacións do proxecto de fluxo de traballo individuais. Saber porque todos os fluxos de traballo teñen que ser olladas á luz do rendemento e escalabilidade, así como a forma de construír fluxos de traballo escala que en un ambiente que escalas, supervisar o procesamento de fluxo de traballo e superar os obstáculos comúns. Esta sección vai cubrir orientación arquitectura para o seu contorno SharePoint, así como as prácticas específicas de codificación para garantir que obteña o máximo de fluxos de traballo do SharePoint.

Fixen subida de PowerPoint para unha das miñas sesións, "Get Great Business Requirements," aquí (http://cid-1cc1edb3daa9b8aa.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/Paul% 20Galvin% 20Great% 20Requirements.pptx).
Ademais dunha serie de puntos brillantes, poderosamente feito, the deck includes extensive notes which supplement and enhance the afore-mentioned brilliant talking points.
Para aqueles de vostedes que perdeu a mellor conferencia Prácticas, 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

Nas últimas dúas semanas, I attended the New Jersey SharePoint user group and the newly formed New York SharePoint Desenvolvedores user group (contrariamente ao grupo de usuarios máis establecida Nova York SharePoint).
En New York, 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, seriously check out NewsGator. It’s very good stuff. A lot of great social computing functionality and (in a demo environment at least) very well done.
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, at this point I think, 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 last night, 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, but seeing it "live" 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.
There are groups all across the world. Check them out.

I’m speaking at the SharePoint Best Practices conference in November.
It’s sort of a funny story. I was in Virginia presenting at the SUGDC conference and that Friday was the deadline to submit speaking proposals for the BP conference. The organizers described how they would use a "blind selection" process and that every effort would be made to select presentation on the basis of its value, etc. To maximize my chances of getting selected, I submitted two proposals. The selection committee picked both.
O meu compañeiro (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, Governance and similar companies.
Segundo, 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 titled "Moss: Introdución eficaz dunha organización".
This conference looks to be crazily full of great information and I highly recommend tearing yourself away from your work for three days, joining in on these presentations and networking with both conference attendees and alto-falantes. It will be time and money well spent.
Hope to see you there 🙂

My compañeiro (Natalya Voskresenskaya) and I will be speaking at the Fairfield/Westchester SharePoint User Group meeting at 6:00 PM en 07/16 (Mércores). We are talking about the content query web part. This is the same (pero versión mellorada que deu a Nova York, en maio).
Preinscrición aquí: https://www.clicktoattend.com/invitation.aspx?code=129626&wa=wsignin1.0
Natalya e espero velo alí!
Here’s the email Richard Martzelle just sent out on the subject:
Tema: Using Content Query Web Part to Create Business Solutions
Speakers: Paul Galvin & Natalya Voskresenskaya
Data: Xullo 16º Benvido Tempo: (Eat & Network): 6:00AM Tempo: 6:30 AM -8:00AM
Meeting Description
MOSS 2007’s Content Query Web Part (CQWP) permite aos usuarios crear visualizacións personalizadas de datos consultados desde moitas fontes, e presentar os datos nun só lugar. A pesar da súa consulta poderoso & opcións de refinamento de contidos, CQWP é moitas veces un recurso subestimado e ignorado. CQWP is both a "data extraction engine" (atopar documentos ou elementos de lista en calquera lugar nun conxunto de sitios) e tamén unha ferramenta de presentación de primeira clase que permite aos usuarios controlar o xeito no que o contido é presentado por implicación HTML e estilos para formatar a exhibición de case calquera forma que desexa.
Nesta sesión de demostración pesado, van amosar como usar a CQWP para resolver problemas de negocios, amosando os principais recursos
• use default CWQP features, incluíndo o público-obxectivo
• use CWQP as a reporting tool anywhere in a site collection via filter criteria such as "all documents created today"
• change look & sensación de resultados da consulta para destacar os datos de empresas, amosar columnas adicionais de información, ver información nun formato de reixa, e outros
• show how CQWP can aid in content type administration (i.e. atopar todos os documentos dun determinado tipo de contido, co fin de comprender o impacto potencial de cambiar a definición de CT)
• describe some limitations of CQWP
• provide a list of resources for advanced CQWP techniques, incluíndo blogs, ECQWP proxecto CodePlex & Documentación MSDN

Eu asistir a miña primeira SharePoint conferencia this past weekend and it was a blast.
Onte pola tarde, Eu dirixe ata a Virginia, guiado polo meu recén adquirido $50 GPS appliance plug-in thing to my phone. The device was flawless. After the five hour drive, Eu tiña a enerxía para facer unha boa carreira na fábrica de rodaxe e, a continuación,, aínda máis sorprendente, 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 minutos de 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. Ao longo do tempo, Vou amarrar esta información na miña serie enriba da EUSP.com for End Users trying to get the most use out of that tool. I blew through my slides and demo in 35 actas, to my dismay at the time. Afortunadamente, Q&A era animada, no doubt helped by the fact that it was early morning before lunch. Q&A is my favorite part of any presentation.
Había moitos temas interesantes e espero que para o blog sobre eles en maior detalle esta semana (o tempo permitir, como sempre). 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) para 3 ou 4 horas (e que, beber despois de ter rematado a noite). I don’t often get to talk about Farscape ou Babilonia 5 cos veciños de Kansas City.
Bob Fox estaba alí e, como de costume, é un turbillón de intros, chats and just plain frenetic energy. He invited me to Saturday breakfast with Sahil Malik and that was great.
Sábado (día 2), Mike Lotter arrastrou-se para a conferencia para falar do InfoPath e, a continuación, el uníuse a Becky ao final do día para facer unha especie de xeral Q&Unha sesión por uns 30 para 45 minutos, enfocada principalmente en InfoPath (Micrófono) 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" aquí para diante.
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. Finalmente, Quero dar as grazas públicamente Gary Blatt, Gary Vaughn and Bob Fox for alerting me to and allowing me to speak at the conference. Por suposto, 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, é excelente para se atopar con todas as personalidades en liña que coñeceu a través de blogs, Twitter, Foros, etc.
