In duo septimanas, Ego ministrabant in New Jersey SharePoint user coetus et novo novos Eboracensis SharePoint Tincidunt user coetus (Morbi convallis felis SharePoint magis contra instituta).

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, graviter reprehendo ex NewsGator. It’s very good stuff. A lot of great social computing functionality and (in a demo environment saltem) bene factum.

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, ad hoc puto, 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 nocte, 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, sed videntes "vivere" 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.

Sunt coetus omnes trans mundi. Check them out.

Ego dicendi in SharePoint Optimus Actiones colloquium in November.

It’s sort of a funny story. I was in Virginia presenting at the SUGDC colloquium and that Friday was the deadline to submit speaking proposals for the BP conference. The organizers described how they would use a "blind selection" Expositio et ratio eligendi operam fieret ex pretio, etc. To maximize my chances of getting selected, I submitted two proposals. The selection committee picked both.

Collega (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, Regimen et similis turmas.

Secundo, I will present a process for obtaining great business requirements from End Users. This goes back to one of my very early blog posts, indecenter titulus "MUSCUS: Efficax introductio ad Organizatio".

Colloquium ipsum et plenum magnis INSANE videtur esse altus suadeo discerpens te a a opus tribus diebus, iunctura in in haec visa et networking cum tam colloquium attendees et loquentium. It will be time and money well spent.

Hope to see you there 🙂
