Á síðustu tveimur vikum, I attended the New Jersey SharePoint user group and the newly formed New York SharePoint Nýskráning user group (öfugt við fleiri komið New York SharePoint notendahóp).

Í 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, 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.

Ég tala við SharePoint Best Practices ráðstefnu í nóvember.

It’s sort of a funny story. I was in Virginia presenting at the SUGDC ráðstefnu and that Friday was the deadline to submit speaking proposals for the BP conference. The organizers described how they would use a "blind selection" ferli og að hver tilraun yrði gerð til að velja kynningu á grundvelli verðmæti hennar, o.fl.. To maximize my chances of getting selected, I submitted two proposals. The selection committee picked both.

Samstarfsmaður minn (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, Stjórnsýsla og áþekk fyrirtæki.

Annað, 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 titill "Moss: Árangursrík kynning á stofnun".

Þessi ráðstefna lítur út fyrir að vera hrikalega fullt af frábærum upplýsingum og ég mæli rífa þig í burtu frá vinnu í þrjá daga, þátt í á þessum kynningum og net með bæði ráðstefnu mæta og hátalarar. It will be time and money well spent.

Hope to see you there 🙂

My samstarfsmaður (Natalya Voskresenskaya) and I will be speaking at the Fairfield/Westchester SharePoint User Group meeting at 6:00 PM á 07/16 (Miðvikudagur). We are talking about the content query web part. This is the same (en endurbætt útgáfa sem við gáfum til New York maí).

Pre-skrá hér: https://www.clicktoattend.com/invitation.aspx?code=129626&wa=wsignin1.0

Natalya og ég vona að sjá þig þar!

Here’s the email Richard Martzelle just sent out on the subject:

Topic: Using Content Query Web Part to Create Business Solutions

Speakers: Paul Galvin & Natalya Voskresenskaya

Dagsetning: Júlí 16^th Velkomin Time: (Eat & Network): 6:00PM Tími: 6:30 PM -8:00PM

Meeting Description

MOSS 2007’s Content Query Web Part (CQWP) enables users to create custom views of data queried from many sources, and present that data in one place. Despite its powerful query & content refinement options, CQWP is often an underrated and overlooked feature. CQWP is both a "data extraction engine" (find documents or list items anywhere in a site collection) and also a first-class presentation tool that enables users to control how content is presented by wrapping HTML and styles to format the display nearly any way you wish.

In this demo-heavy session, they will show how to use the CQWP to solve business problems by showing off core features

• use default CWQP features, including audience targeting

• use CWQP as a reporting tool anywhere in a site collection via filter criteria such as "all documents created today"

• change look & feel of query results to highlight business data, show additional columns of information, display information in a grid format, and others

• show how CQWP can aid in content type administration (i.e. find all documents of a particular content type so as to understand potential impact of changing a CT definition)

• describe some limitations of CQWP

• provide a list of resources for advanced CQWP techniques, þ.mt blogg, ECQWP Codeplex project & MSDN documentation
