Yesterday was the final day of the SharePoint Advisor Summit here in Phoenix. I delivered a session on one of my favorite topics in the next version of WSS, namely event handlers. They are an extremely powerful way of extending SharePoint. Next, I went to a talk by Bill English on the Shared Service Provider (SSP). SSP's are engines delivered with MOSS 2007 that can provide services within your server farm (index, search, user profiles, business data catalog, ...).
In the evening, the left-over SharePoint geeks (Dustin Miller, Todd Bleeker, Tony Bierman, Todd Baginski, Darrin Bishop and of course me) went out for a nice dinner (tx Dustin :)) and a couple of beers. Todd Baginski told me he is working very hard on a new version of his BDCManager. Really looking forward to that one!
One final note, thanks to all of the attendees, I again enjoyed the whole gig. And also thanks to the Advisor team for inviting me. Hope to see you next year again.
