SharePoint Blogging Plagiarism NOT COOL!
Thu, Dec 18th 2008 4:56p Joel Oleson
Body: The latest buzz is Plagiarism. It’s not cool. It hurts the community, it hurts yourself, and hey it’s actually illegal. Watch out ‘cause we in SharePoint Community… we watch each others backs! Those in the past who have made mistakes have fessed up, but their standing in the community will never be what it could. Sad, but true. The latest victim was our good buddy Andrew Connell.

Joel Oleson in Depth Interview, New Admin Blog, and SharePoint WSRP Producer Samples
Tue, Dec 16th 2008 12:56a Joel Oleson
One of the last things I did with Bamboo just released. I did an interview with John Anderson of Bamboo side by side with the launch of a new Admin area on their community efforts. John’s probing deep questions really brought out areas that I hadn’t thought about in a long time. They also stretched my thoughts into the future. They were written in such a way that it really captured some unique insights. The Joel Oleson SharePoint Interview is captured in the Rock Stars area. Here are [read] Keywords: admin

Slideshare and Joel Oleson's SharePoint Presentations
Mon, Dec 8th 2008 6:56a Joel Oleson
Body: I'm quickly becoming a fan of Slideshare.net. A very easy to use, and very useful tool for both finding and sharing presentations. I've come across some good finds that are both enlightening and fun. The related feature is seems to work really well when people use the right tags. I know I see a lot of downloads from my presentations and I think this is a more effective way of managing the content in a way that it can be shared and manage the rights.

It is no fault of the Software, and I don't blame the hoster. He's done his best. So what's the issue?

Building Cloud Based Applications of the Future for SharePoint Online and Windows Azure

Body:
If building a webpart for SharePoint Online is your goal, you should look no further than the mantra no assemblies required. I did a post by that same title where I speak of assembliless internet widgets that are essentially lightweight javascript widgets which essentially pass a few variables to a secondary server.

SharePoint Defaults Have Faults
Mon, Dec 1st 2008 4:56p Joel Oleson
Body: In all my work to encourage people to implement best practices, I've found that those that say, hey I'll go with default often find chaos down the road. The Governance and Deployment checklist I did a while back, as a product manager on the SharePoint team, was designed to help people know what the choices are, and provide awareness to the choices. Heather Solomon shared her site checklist for new sites. I hate to hold up a well thought out deployment. That isn't my design. I'm s [read] Keywords: collaboration

A Paradigm Shift Toward Traffic Optimization with the Social Web
Mon, Nov 24th 2008 4:56p Joel Oleson
Body: SEO or Search Engine Optimization has been the buzz since before Google was in its infancy. I remember old Submit-it.com and submitting my URLs to "hundreds" of search engines. That method trying to submit to thousands of the search engines and adding categorizations, keywords, and titles is a thing of the past. The next shift was optimization for the search juggernaut Google, essentially it was all about trying to optimize your PageRank.

I recommend a weekly show, 5-15 minutes is not bad, you don't need to do hour long shows. You should commit to doing at least 5 before deciding to promote it.

How I Use Social Networking Tools

We decided there is no one right way... There are many right ways (and a few wrong ones). I like the way friend feed categorizes these various "social networking" activities, and it helps to show the categories that are possible and ultimately shows the differences, but the groupings are helpful, not saying they are perf [read] Keywords: blogging

Sessions and Speaking Topics for Joel Oleson for 2009
Tue, Nov 4th 2008 11:54a Joel Oleson
I heard that one of Steve's best practices was to come up with four or so new sessions at the new year, and fully develop them out, so when anyone asked for him to submit sessions he would send them his four. He'd also essentially make sure those were rock solid and had all the right stories and details flushed out to ensure awesome scores. Each time he'd present them he'd add new jokes and new material. Ok so I added that last detail, but I'm sure that's what happens. So I'm adopting th [read] Keywords: admin

One of the oldest, but more hidden and illusive capacity boundaries is the 64K ACL limit. It's gotten some attention lately, and is bound to scare a few people.

SharePoint Permission Managent Love Hate Relationship
Mon, Oct 20th 2008 7:56p Joel Oleson
I was watching twitter this morning and catching up on the latest and noticed a tweet from Jeffery Dalton:
@jefferydalton: Wow... permission management in #SharePoint can be unwildly in a matter of seconds.
I think he meant "unwieldly," but you get the idea.
Many would describe the core of the "Governance" and "SharePoint Anarchy" issue as lack of control. The concerns of lack of control can really start at this basic level. Paul Culmsee is focusing on something at a different [read] Keywords: document

Webpart and Widget No Assembly Required Simplicity
Mon, Oct 13th 2008 7:00a Joel Oleson
I live by a mantra of "No Assembly required" when it comes to managing my own SharePoint site. I don't want to have to bug my hoster, and go through the "customization" and "development" supportability battle and I know the ease of upgrade for a no assembly required web part or gadget.
This Band "No Assembly Required" has the right idea:
Essentially what I mean is client side or remote execution that then simply renders everything I need with no DLL, and even no features to dep [read] Keywords: admin

And Now for Something Completely Different... Stand up Comedy!
Fri, Oct 10th 2008 7:00a Joel Oleson
I saw a poster a few weeks ago about a crash course stand up comedian training and an amateur comedy competition. So, I figured I could make my presentations better with some comedy mixed in... right? If you've seen Shane and I, you've gotten a taste for what I could become :)
So I signed up. Today was my first crash course class, and THIS Saturday night 10/11/08 I have two 5 minute acts... One during each show... 8pm and 10pm at Wise Guys Comedy Club in Orem, Utah.

Secrets of Independent Consulting - What they won't tell you

It appears to me that the SharePoint weblog is MUCH more integrated into this latest release of Windows Live Writer. No issues thus far.

SharePoint and Google Chrome: Bring on the Battle for our Online Souls

Crawl before you RUN, Newbie to SharePoint Rockstar
Fri, Sep 12th 2008 10:22p Joel Oleson
In my recent Governance talks I've been pushing a concept similar to the idea of Baby steps or crawling before you run. Essentially the idea is you need to start with an out of the box SharePoint deployment that isn't changing before you roll it out. The way to accomplish this is with pilot deployments and with staged deployments so you can get comfortable with moving parts. Using MOF and implementing change control boards to review change is another way to "get use to" things as they roll [read] Keywords: Sharepoint
