If you attended the February Omaha SharePoint User Group meeting, Thank You! We had 32 people show up for a great lunch provided by QCI and I hope you also learned something you can bring back to your organization. Thank you to Bass & Associates, Kerry Dirks and Steve Wright for providing prizes!
Some notes:
Presenters
We’re always looking for presenters. With our format of alternating between Technical content and then User-centric content, we need all sorts of presenters and all sorts of topics. For example, in April, you will learn about an Agile Project Tracking site that one of our members created. If you are interested in presenting at one of our upcoming meetings, please send an email to sharepoint@omahamtg.com, or just leave me a comment on this blog.
Sponsors
We have had great response from our professional community to help sponsor prizes and food for our meetings. If you would like to sponsor one of our future meetings or would like to sponsor some door prizes, please send an email to sharepoint@omahamtg.com or leave me a comment below! We truly appreciate our sponsors!
Links
OK – now for the links I know you all came here for: I didn’t have much in the way of slides but the links at the end of the slides are on my presentation page. I think I will also start collecting links of no-code or little-code resources for future reference! Enjoy.
A friend of mine, Cory VanDyke, works for Ricoh and asked me to spread the word about their SharePoint Roadshow that will be held at the Microsoft Seminar Facilities in Omaha on February 21, 2012.

If you have read my series on creating an Org Chart or Site Map using SharePoint lists, SPServices library, jQuery and the Google Charting API, I now have that solution posted online for you to see.

I just received the confirmation letter that I will be presenting at SharePoint Saturday – Kansas City on December 10, 2011. Come see my presentation and say hi!
I just found out I’ll be presenting my Mashup presentation at SharePoint Saturday – Twin Cities on October 29! Come see me and hopefully I’ll have some books with to sign!
Me and my Alter Ego!
If you were in any of my presentations in Kansas City, Indianapolis, Omaha or New Orleans and caught a flying Mood Dude, take a picture of you and your new friend and send it to Mood Dudes and I will post it up here on the site.
Let’s see how creative you can get!
I am literally heading out the door to the airport to catch a flight to New Orleans for SharePoint Saturday! I will be presenting, “What I Wish I Knew BEFORE I Implemented SharePoint”. I really enjoy this presentation and I hope that anyone attending will enjoy it as much as I do.
NewOrleansTech.net wrote a great article about it.
If you can come and join us – do! I’d love to meet you!
OK – Off to the airport!
I just saw that they are having SharePoint Saturday – Ozarks again this summer. SPSOzarks was my first SharePoint Saturday experience and I really enjoyed it. The information I learned, and the relationships that I began that Saturday were the impetus for getting more involved in the SharePoint community. Since that Saturday in Harrison, Arkansas, I have attended Microsoft’s SharePoint Conference 2009 in Las Vegas, gotten more involved in our local SharePoint User Group and started presenting at other SharePoint Saturdays. I hope to work up another presentation for SPSOzarks so I can be a presenter this time instead of a spectator.
I have been confirmed to present at SharePoint Saturday – Indianapolis on January 30, 2010 and SharePoint Saturday – New Orleans on Febuary 27, 2010. I’ve never been to Indianapolis or New Orleans, so I’m looking forward to it. I will presenting the same presentation I did at SharePoint Saturday – Kansas City – What I Wish I Knew Before I Implemented SharePoint. Watch out for flying mood dudes!
I presented at the Omaha SharePoint User Group last night (12/16/2009). Good meeting and a great discussion. I did the same presentation that I did at SharePoint Saturday – Kansas City. One thing I did find out was that my tag that has my contact information was password protected. Talk about a downer. Here’s a cool little application that allows mobile phone users to capture information using their phone camera and then my tag doesn’t work. Oh well. Not everything can go perfectly. I have updated my tag settings and updated the tag on this website in case someone wants to try it again. Let me know if you use the TAG and what your results were.
