I will be presenting at the SharePoint Saturday – Ozarks, which will be held in Branson, MO on Sept. 8th. I have always loved this SharePoint Saturday and I hope that you and your teams will make the trip down there. Here is a flyer that you can print off and hang in your office. Let’s get a good group from the Omaha area to go down there! -
Client side Application Development in SharePoint – July Omaha SharePoint User Group Presentation References
I promised that I would upload my slide deck from this presentation but after looking at the slides, it appears that the only thing worthwhile are the links that I provided for further study. So, without further ado, here are the references:
- SharePoint Foundation 2010 Client Object Model Redistributable
- Javascript Object Model
- jQuery
- SPServices jQuery library for SharePoint Web Services – Marc Anderson
- Use Google OrgChart Visualization API
- 4 Part Series – Step by Step Org Chart Demo
- CSS3 Reference
- Google Chart Tools
Besides the Org Chart demo above, I will try to get the other demos posted on http://sharepoint.dipetersen.com in the near future. Keep checking back.
If there are topics you want to see covered at future user group meetings, leave a comment here and we’ll try to cover it at an upcoming meeting.
Thanks again for coming to the meetings and for reading the blog!

The first (of hopefully many) Omaha SharePint! Upstream May 10, 2012
In the process of organizing our monthly Omaha SharePoint User Group meetings I just tossed out an idea to have a regular SharePint. If you don’t already know what a SharePint is, please read this article by Christian Buckley. We decided to have our first SharePint at the Upstream Brewery at about 171st and Center on May 10 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm. There’s no requirement to be there the whole time and there’s no requirement to drink adult beverages. We are hoping to provide a more social way for anyone who wants to meet other users of Microsoft SharePoint.We’ll be upstairs by the pool tables. This is a non-sponsored event so all refreshments are totally your responsibility!

February 27 – Omaha User Group Presentation – The SharePoint SweetSpot – Links
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 [email protected], 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 [email protected] 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.

Calling all Omaha-area SharePoint Users!
After I spoke at the SharePoint Saturday – Twin Cities conference, I decided that Omaha needed an engaged SharePoint User Group and I was going to spearhead the revival! Well, I know I can’t do it on my own so I’m looking for people in and around Omaha who would be interested in helping get this group going again. I have created a form that you can fill out, which will let me know who is interested. I would like to have an organizational meeting either late this month ( I know it’s Thanksgiving) or early next month. As always, if you have any questions, email me or put a comment on this form!
