This week, the first European Collaboration Summit (ECS) took place in beautiful Zagreb. We enjoyed the community conference together with about 500 attendees and about 60 speakers and we had a blast! ECS (www.collaborationsummit.rocks) is the new brand of the community event SPC Adriatics, extended from SharePoint and Project topics to all the new Microsoft cloud services around Office 365 and Azure, organized by the team around Branka, Adis, Toni and Nenad (see some history at 2014, wrap-up and 2013). This year, our Martina supported compiling the sessions for the Business track. ...

We did it again.. attending this year’s Microsoft BUILD conference in Seattle. See some of our impressions here! This year, Microsoft BUILD conference took place from May 10th to 12th near Microsoft’s home in Seattle. In total, this was the 7th BUILD conference. After the Professional Developer’s Conference (PDC) in the past and a break, the first BUILD started in September 2011 in Los Angeles, Anaheim, where Windows 8 was announced. The second BUILD end of October 2012 was interesting since it happened directly in Redmond at the Microsoft Campus with a big tent for the keynote (near the Conference Building 31) and Steve Ballmer himself presenting Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. From then on (2013 to 2016), BUILD had it’s location in San Francisco at the Moscone Center. I still remember what an expensive location Silicone Valley and SanFran was. In 2013, Windows 8.1 was announced. In 2014, Universal Apps and the Lumia phone got most attention (can you remember, there was a time when Microsoft wanted to participate in the mobile device market with hardware and software…). In 2015, “Cloud First” – Azure (which was renamed from Windows Azure to Microsoft Azure in 2014 already) - took the stage, followed by Windows 10 that came in that summer. In 2016, it was time for the Cortana, Bots, Cognitive Services, Xamarin, and the Windows Windows 10 Anniversary Update. The Mixed Reality project “HoloLens” was announced in January 2016 at the virtual “Windows 10: The Next Chapter” event completely unexpected (although the Kinect project lead into that). ...

Being in Seattle during #MSBuild brings the advantage to have a first look at the brand new Surface Laptop that was announced on May 2nd by Microsoft in real life. You can preorder Surface Laptop in the Microsoft Online Store today. Delivery date starts at June 15th, [](https://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_us/pdp/productid.5102691100?icid=en_us_homepage_hero1_surface laptop_5.2.17 “image”) We visited the Microsoft Store in Bellevue and had a look at the Surface family. See some snapshots here… Well, besides the technical specifications, the new Surface Laptop seems to be a very nice (but pricy) device. On the other hand, you get a beautiful designed notebook with a long battery life. I like it more than the Surface Book (which is too heavy), but as always, this is a matter of opinion. ...

Recently Microsoft published an article about “Giving CISOs assurance in the cloud” with nice visualized “internet user maps”. By 2015, the internet user map looks as here: Source: Microsoft Secure Blog That’s an interesting map showing the most heavy internet users in the dark green boxes. Summarized, these are North America, Northern Europe, South Korea and Japan. The dark green regions will include the south in the next years… So, if you are internet addicted (as we are…), you can choose your travel destinations by that map.

Recently I got an error in my PowerApp when trying to get an Office 365 User Profile, although this was working before: “The service returned an error: Office365Users!MyProfile: {“status”:402,“message”:Insufficient privileges to complete the operation.”,“source”:“127.0.0.1”}". See here how to deal with such scenarios. Well, first I tried to check my Office 365 User connection, removed the data source and added it again. But this didn’t change anything, the app still reported the same error. ...
