While I wish that I needed to circle the globe to do so, I am presenting for the Global SharePoint Users Group next week. This is a virtual group, organized by Eric Harlan (@ericharlan) when he is not planning ski trips.

I will talking about Powershell for the SharePoint Developer. While Powershell is not new, it is new to most SharePoint folks.

Registration is required to get the Live Meeting information.

I’m delighted to be returning to San Antonio after 20 years (I attended the COMMON Conference, for those of you who remember the System/36). The event this time is the San Antonio SharePoint Users Group. Tom Resing (@resing) has been patient enough to facilitate this trip.

I’ll be presenting on Elevated Privileges with updated demos on SharePoint Foundation 2010. I hope to see you there! Registration is now open.

I’m a bit sad that I’ll miss Amanda and Shane. :(

Last week, while at the conference, I was lucky to be a part of the virtual user group Week3.org. Virgil Carroll (@vman916) interviewed me early in the week so that I could be part of the group at the same time as my talk. You can view the video of Andrew Woodward (@andrewwoody), Brett Lonsdale (@brettlonsdale) and yours truly to learn about the new features of SharePoint 2010 with excellent commentary by Virgil and Andrew.

I’m sure that many of you have heard and read a lot about the SharePoint Conference and SharePoint 2010. I just want to post a quick note about the session that I co-presented with Todd Bleeker.

First, we’ve posted the code and slides on Todd’s blog: http://SharePoint.mindsharpblogs.com/Todd/SPC. Please note that we built the program on an early version of SharePoint 2010. When the beta bits are released in November, please do not be surprised if some of the code does not work. We intend to update the code and will make sure that it gets posted once that is complete.

Second, I want to thank all of you who gave us such good reviews. The compliments in the evaluation notes, and the hallway and the exhibit hall are much appreciated. You are all so very nice.

Lastly, thank you to Todd for inviting me to work with him. To be on the biggest stage at the biggest event for the biggest selling product for the biggest software company was a thrill I will remember for a long time.

As we developed DeliverPoint, we leveraged the source control and bug tracking that are part of Visual Studio Team System. Lately, as I’ve been working on consulting projects, I’ve missed that ability to branch code and revert changes as needed. I’ve been getting by with copying files to/from virtual images and client servers, but today I got fed up!

VisualSVN Server is a free SVN server, and combined with the VisualSVN Personal license, I now have my familiar security blanket available. I created the source repositories on my host operating system, and while working on the guest systems, it is just as if I’m working on a remote SVN server.

Even though my dev team has one person, source control pays large dividends. I don’t need to merge changes from multiple developers. Branching the trunk for a major upgrade (which takes a while with only one dev) and merging incremental changes as they are tested and installed makes my life much easier.

If you are writing code w/o source control, stop right now! Go get VisualSVN. It is easy to install, they provide excellent online documentation and the Visual Studio integration is top notch.

The patterns & practices group has just published version 2 of their guidance for SharePoint! Chris Keyser gave two talks on this version at the recent Best Practices conference, and it is terrific stuff. Well done guys and gals!

The dynamic Indianapolis user group IndyNDA has expanded with a fourth Special Interest Group, this one for SharePoint Developers. I’m delighted to be the first speaker with a talk about developer tools for SharePoint.

Details for the meeting are on the IndyNDA site.

I don’t usually post links, but this page has the answer to the most time-consuming problem I’ve had in many years!

Fix the SharePoint DCOM 10016 error on Windows Server 2008 R2

Thanks Wictor!
