The Oregon Computer Consultants Association will be holding their monthly meeting the Tuesday before Halloween. This month the subject will be Windows Sharepoint services, which a lot of members have been asking about.
Title: Windows Sharepoint Services
Date: Tuesday October 30, 2007
Time: 7:00-8:30PM (No-host dinner at 6:00PM)
Speaker: Tom Rich, Mt Hood Computer Services
Place: Rheinlander German Restaurant
5035 NE Sandy Blvd
Portland OR 97213-1941
We will discuss Windows Sharepoint Services (WSS). Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 ships with WSS 2.0. It is possible to also install WSS 3.0 and not break the applications and components that are dependent on WSS 2.0 by leaving it in place. Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 provides the solution platform for SharePoint Products and Technologies, delivering a wide range of functional capabilities that are exploited and extended by other SharePoint Products and Technologies.
We will talk about the difference in versions, how to install 3.0 and keep 2.0 intact, what can be done with WSS to improve office productivity, how to load templates and put them to work. If the demo deities are kind, we will have live demonstrations of Sharepoint web parts in action.
Tom Rich is President of Mt. Hood Computer Services, Inc. in Portland Oregon. In business since 1998, we are a Microsoft Registered Partner and each tech is a Microsoft Small Business Specialist.
FREE SharePoint Web Part… I have an updated version of the Google Search Web Part for WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 on my blog at http://www.sharepoint-blogs.com
I just want to share and give back to the SharePoint community. Please take time to check this out. It is free! You can install it in your our SharePoint environment and search Google and return safe search results in a page in your own SharePoint site.
Noticed that url in the FREE Google Web Part has a trailing period at the end of the URL. I was able to download the webpart from
http://www.sharepoint-blogs.com
