Even if Microsoft community is in it’s third decade of existence, and even if that community has became a large and influential group of experts and users, it still does not explain a phenomenon of SharePoint community in the last ten years or so.
We can show, but not explain, that phenomenon, by stating some dry facts – SharePoint-related projects are leading the CodePlex projects list, most of the bloggers are coming from SharePoint community, most active MSDN forums are – you may guess – SharePoint forums, most of the specialized Microsoft-related conferences are SharePoint conferences, not even to mention SharePoint Saturdays…
This session will try to present the state of SharePoint community, global and local, and it will also dean as a jubilee 1st anniversary meeting of 1SUG (First SharePoint User Group Bosnia and Herzegovina). We will take a look back at our community, look a the achievements and mistakes we have made in this year, and discuss the possibilities how to make the community better and more attractive to the members.
I will have a pleasure to introduce some of the internationally recognized speakers who will visit our group in the next period and have a session there, but we also want to engage into discussion which would motivate group members to start involving more with own session…
I look forward to it! Cheers to the SharePoint community, and happy first anniversary, 1SUG BiH!
Join us in beautiful city of Mostar, on April 5th 2012, at Microsoft NetWork 2.0 conference, on a State of SharePoint Community session and 1SUG jubilee anniversary meeting.
