I've been contacted a few times about bringing in some international speakers to the SSUG events. If you're interested in speaking about something at one of our meetings, ping me and we'll make some great plans. Awesome!

Plans for the future

There will be some more frequent meetings in Malmö coming up as well when we get back - so if you're interested in hosting a meeting in Malmö, please don't hesitate to contact me on via email.

New platform:
I'm also making some nice plans and designs for the future platform for SSUG, which of course will be SharePoint 2010. I've purchased a bunch of new servers and I'll be working with this project during your vacation to give you all a nice platform to enjoy when we're back in action after the summer.

We'll be back!

With that said, thank you for joining us on our meetings

Sweden SharePoint User Group, May 28th Re-Cap

Author: Tobias Zimmergren

Introduction

On May 28th we held our Sweden SharePoint User Group meeting in Stockholm with great success.

Sponsoring the event for the evening was Precio, who had an arsenal of food and drinks layered up for us to dive into in-between sessions.

With that said, thank you Precio for lending us your time, place and beer.

What was said / Agenda

During the event, we had three main sessions:

SPVisualDev by Tony Restaino (Precio)
- During this session, Tony did a great demonstration of how his CodePlex tool (SPVisualDev) can help you as a developer to complete your tasks a bit faster. A great complement to WSPBuilder!
Microsoft Certified Master by Peter Williams (Microsoft Sweden)
- As the only one in Sweden who is a Microsoft Certified Master on SharePoint, Peter did an awesome job describing what the MCM program is all about.
  If I can get hold of the presentation from Peter I will have this article updated with links to it.
Nintex Workflows by Mikael Bolin (HumanData)
- Giving us a brief overview of what Nintex workflows bring to the table was clearly appreciated.

Post-Session Photos

And the real reason for this post is so I can show you some photos of the event!

Thanks to Tony for shooting some great pictures of the event - please bring this amazing camera next time ;-)

Summary

Remember, attending our User Group meetings is 100% FREE OF CHARGE! You can find more information on www.sharepointcommunity.se and sign up if you're not a member already. You will then receive an email next time we will organize a meeting!

We organize meetings in:

If you have any thoughts about future meetings, about being a presenter, about having a meeting in your city, about sponsoring a meeting or about anything at all - please send me an email at tobias@zimmergren.net and I will set it up for you.

Thanks for reading.

TechDays 2009 Sweden - Summary of the event

Author: Tobias Zimmergren
URL: http://www.zimmergren.net

Introduction

I know, it's a tad late - but better late than never, right?

TechDays 2009 is done for this time around. It was the first TechDays to take off in Sweden, but I surely do hope to see more of those events going on!

"A success for a fully booked TechDays: 2 days, 100 sessions, 100 speakers and 1300 people attending the sessions. Microsoft's first - and largest - Swedish event for IT Pro's, developers and IT-managers has come to an end. A lot of appreciated sessions, lots of social networking and evening mingle."

- Microsoft

Sweden SharePoint User Group / Sweden SharePoint Community

As a representative for the Sweden SharePoint User Group and Sweden SharePoint Community (link), I met a bunch of cool people - as well as signing up a bunch of new members.
I even handed out FREE T-Shirts with the tagline "Sweden SharePoint User Group" written on the back, which was sponsored by BambooSolutions - thanks Bamboo!

We're constantly growing, and it seems to be a huge interest for the User Group meetings we are providing. It wouldn't be possible without you - the SharePoint users, editors, designers, administrators, developers, haters and lovers! Thanks.

Community and UG status: 200+ members on the page, and another 600 people on the UG event mailing list who have signed up for www.sharepointforum.com

SharePoint rules, and don't you dare say anything different! ;-)

It's not all work and business

During the evenings, we all shared a few pints and drinks of golden love (beer/whisky).
I met one of the most interesting and cool guys I've ever met, in the first picture below. Then it's me and Göran Husman sharing a pint, and then during break at the event.

Summary

I did enjoy the TechDays 2009 in Västerås, and I will most definitely be around next time as well!
I do hope to see as many of you Swedish guys and gals as possible there!

Thank you Microsoft for organizing this awesome event. Kudos.

Sweden SharePoint User Group Malmö - First meeting done

Author: Tobias Zimmergren
URL: http://www.zimmergren.net

Thank you

I would like to thank everyone for showing up at the meeting yesterday. I had a great time and it seems that most of you did too.

Presentations

MVP Carsten Keutmann did a live demo of his awesome products: WSPBuilder and SharePoint Manager 2007. Great job Carsten, and thanks for tuning in!

I did a minor presentation on SharePoint Online and then went over to some live demos of what the admin-portal and the single sign-in application looks like and how it all works.

The presentation can be downloaded here

Membership

If you're not a member of the Sweden SharePoint User Group already, I urge you to sign up for an account and join the group on this address:
http://www.sharepointcommunity.se/group/swedensharepointusergroup

New URL?
Yes, we've moved the User Group to the NING-platform for a period of time while we build our new platform in SharePoint due to the fact that NING is a lot easier for user management and community-contributions than SharePoint is out of the box (dang, did I just admit that?)

Summary

With that said, thank you again for showing up and showing your interest in our SharePoint User Group. Great stuff!

Any and all that are interested in speaking at one of the UG-meetings are more than welcome to contact me (tobias@zimmergren.net) and we'll be sure to hook that up!
