Martina and I have been on Microsoft Ignite Conference in Chicago recently. There we met Patrick Guimonet, Microsoft MVP and Regional Director in France and spoke briefly about Build and Ignite Conference and about our session at SharePoint Saturday Paris (#SPSParis). SPSParis happens this Saturday, on 30th of May, at Montparnasse Tower and will host a lot of interesting sessions about the newest trends and technologies around SharePoint and Office 365. See the details here: https://www.spsevents.org/city/paris/paris2015 ...

Das Session-Angebot der letzten beiden großen Microsoft Konferenzen BUILD und Ignite ist riesig. Zum Glück bietet Microsoft alle Sessions und Präsentationen online frei verfügbar an!

Hierzu gibt es bereits mehrere PowerShell Scripts aus der Community. Ganz aktuell ist die Version Channel9 Session Downloader v1.81 adaptiert von Michel de Rooij in der TechNet Gallery.

Overview Since 2nd of May till now (10th May) there have been almost 109.000 tweets sent by almost 17.000 Twitter users. With 53% about half of the messages have been retweeted. ...

Today is Microsoft Ignite’s last conference day. Microsoft largest IT-conference MSIgnite took place from 4t to 8th of May in Chicagos’s McCormick center, some miles south of downtown. Martina and I attended BUILD conference too, so we have a direct comparison of the two large Microsoft conferences this year. The size was impressive Five conference days are exhausting. Well, actually this Friday is just half a conference day, because it ended after noon and the expo hall was closed down yesterday. But let’s start with the beginning. ...

Time flies! As soon as BUILD conference 2015 started it’s over now. Martina and I arrived a week ago in California and spent some days in Silicon valley (working there…) and north of San Francisco before attending the conference. BUILD, the 5th This was our 4th BUILD. In total there were five BUILD conferences (after Microsoft paused and renamed the PDC and started with Windows 8): The first one was in 2011 in Los Angeles, Anaheim, followed 2012 at the Microsoft Campus in Redmond, we skipped 2013 in San Fran, Moscone Center, and have been at the last BUILD 2014 and now in 2015, also in the same location.

Martina and I just returned from the Microsoft Community Open Day event in Munich. The name can be misleading for people outside of Microsoft, because COD is actually a closed event for members of the Microsoft community leaders in the MVP Program and the CLIP Program within a region. Here community leaders and members can inform about news and do a lot of networking. In our case we both belong to the german speaking D-A-CH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). COD usually takes place somewhere in the corresponding region, last year in Berlin, this year in Munich, at the Microsoft Office. [Additionally there´s the yearly Global MVP summit for ALL MVP´s at the Microsoft headquarters in Redmond…] ...
