The SharePoint Blog

December 5th, I was lucky enough to be able to speak and meet some great SharePointers at SharePoint Saturday DC. The topic I presented was about moving to the cloud with SharePoint and I provided my “dos and don’ts” based on my experience with Doosan/Bobcat in 2008. When I submit my topic to the SPSDC committee, I was not sure if there was any traction in the community for the new service, but I had a pocket of interest in the subject and I am thinking there will be continued interest in 2010 when purse strings start to open up and companies start working on larger initiatives.

SharePoint Saturday DC was a great success, especially with the small snow event that showed up during the day. There were over 160 people who attended the day's activities, to include attendees, speakers and sponsors. Thanks to all who attended and especially for those who provided feedback to my session. Looking forward to reading all of the responses in the near future.

The next SharePoint Saturday DC event is scheduled in May 2010, so I am looking to offer a different topic that will be more technical.
