SharePoint Best Practices Conference Recap
Christian Buckley
pAh yes, nothing better than traveling across the country with a serious chest cold. Makes for some interesting adventures, let me tell you. While I was able to conduct both of my sessions at the conference, what I was not able to do was spend a lot of time talking with members of the SharePoint community – which is one of my favorite parts of attending these events. Thankfully, I am just about healthy and getting ready for a 3-event swing through California and Massachusetts. I’ve included [read].

Favorite. Voicemail. Ever.
Christian Buckley
pI have a Droid phone (HTC Eris, specifically), and love how Google attempts to translate my voicemails into text. Never even close to reality. Today was a real treat: I received a very garbled voicemail from my friend Geoff Varosky. I have no idea what he was trying to say, but Google took a stab at translating it anyway, and I thought I’d share:/p blockquote pHey Christian, just trying to see how you doing.

Managing Your Metadata
Christian Buckley
pWhen setting up your new SharePoint environment, one of the questions you’ll need to answer is centralized or de-centralized? Do you want to tightly control your environment, as you do with your external-facing portal, or do you want to enable the full capability of SharePoint and allow people to collaborate, ad hoc, as they see fit? Or maybe you want to do something in-between? /p pUnfortunately, the same question pops up again around managing your metadata, regardless of your environment ma [read].

We Need an End User Content Revolution

Are Activity Streams Security Trimmed?
Christian Buckley
pDuring my session at The Experts Conference (#TEC2010) in Los Angeles earlier this week, I was asked a question that I could not answer in full confidence: are activity streams in SharePoint 2010 security trimmed?/p

How to Jump Start SharePoint Governance
Christian Buckley
pOne of the most common questions surrounding metadata and taxonomy management is ‘How do you begin?’ As with most user-driven technologies, SharePoint is often “unleashed” without proper planning or governance structures, and most administrators find themselves needing to emretroactively/em apply standards across their environment. Companies tend to hoard information and may find themselves overwhelmed by the disorganization – and how to even begin the process to get things under cont [read].

Migrations Are Not Drag-and-Drop
Christian Buckley
pMigration is a roadblock to moving forward with your SharePoint strategy. You’ve seen the new features in the latest version, but know that an upgrade will include a major clean up effort, an untangling of customizations and third party tool, and who knows what else. In short, there is nothing out-of-the-box about your SharePoint deployment, so drag-and-drop migration is, at best, unrealistic./p pSearch the web and you’ll find plenty of content that seems helpful at first glance, but leaves [read].

Why Good Spreadsheets Make Bad Strategies
Christian Buckley
pTwo great things about extensive traveling are 1) Harvard Business Review, and 2) The Economist. I love reading both cover to cover, taking notes, circling great quotes, and applying the ideas within my blog or to my current team/business. On my recent trip to the east coast, I picked up the April 2010 edition of HBR and found the feedback from several readers within the Interaction section (letters to the editor) to have great insight into a topic that has vexed me for, oh, a couple years now [read].

Managed Metadata Service Is a Tool, Not a Solution
Christian Buckley
pOne of the reasons I enjoy speaking at SharePoint Saturday events is that they provide a great dialog with customers, partners, and SharePoint experts around the topics that interest me. While the basic flow of the decks I share remain the same from event to event, I am constantly adding to them, refining their message, and even changing things up mid-presentation based on the direction of the questions and comments from the audience, and by the content being offered by fellow speakers in other [read].
