SharePoint Evolutions conference

Yes, my ticket for Sunday to travel with the Eurostar from Brussels to London is booked. I called the Belgian call center this morning at 09:00 and they confirmed that there were no more places available to leave on Sunday. The operator I talked to yesterday confirmed me that at 10:00 Eurostar will announce extra trains, and they can book them as soon as they are announced. What I don’t understand is that the operator this morning didn’t provided/knew this information, even when I specifically asked for it.

Anyway, I called back at 10:00 and this operator was aware of the extra scheduled procedure and I managed to buy a ticket to leave tomorrow at 12:59. SharePoint Evolutions (and definitely a big SharePint with lots of travel stories) here I come. I hope other people will get there safely and on time.

Oh yes, my flight from Antwerp -> London city with Cityjet was cancelled yesterday, and I called there call center just a few minutes ago. They cancelled my flight back and will refund it to my credit card.

It was a stressful experience to arrange transport to London, but eventually I turned out pretty good for me.

Happy and save travels to all other #SPEVO attendees

SharePoint evolutions conference in London transportation issues

I was so happy that I could go to the #SPEVO SharePoint Evolutions Conference next week. I reserved an airplane ticket from Antwerp to London, but due to volcanic ash my flight was cancelled. Like many other people in the SharePoint community I have an issue to get to London.

So today I’ll try to book one of the (hopefully) extra scheduled Eurostar trains from Brussels to London. The call center opens at 09:00, so I still have to wait about 20 minutes.

Some people start to do roadtrips like @zimmergren, @mariannerd or @billbither .

I wish al travelers to #SPEVO good luck and safe travels and hopefully we can SharePint together in London

SharePoint 2010 RTM

Yesterday Jeff Teper announced on the SharePoint Team blog some great news

–quote–

Today we reached an exciting engineering milestone- the release-to-manufacturing (RTM) for Office 2010, SharePoint 2010, Visio 2010 and Project 2010!

RTM is the final engineering milestone and a major achievement for all of the internal teams who worked so hard to get to this point. As tirelessly as our engineering teams worked, we would never have reached this milestone without incredibly active participation from our customers and partners. More than 5,000 organizations and partners have worked with us on rapid deployment and testing of the products, and the feedback that we’ve received from all these programs has shaped a fantastic set of products that I’m sure our customers will love.

Our Volume License customers with active Software Assurance (SA) on these products will be one of the first to receive the 2010 set of products. They will be able to download the product in English, French, Spanish, German, Russian, and Dutch via the Volume Licensing Service Center starting April 27. Other languages will be available on a rolling timeline. Customers without SA will be able to purchase the new products through Volume Licensing from Microsoft partners starting May 1.

(English) Euro 2008 webpart

The people at TamTam have created again some nice webparts for the European Championship 2008. It is available for download at no cost!

Although Belgium is (yet again) not qualified for this Championship, we will install this webpart in our company and try to create some soccer fever. It was pretty fun 2 years ago.

This is also a great opportunity to find out who in your company has absolutely no knowledge of soccer, but is just a good gambler. So you know who you should pick for a incentive to Las Vegas ;-)

 

Some information about the webparts :
There are 2 webparts. you can download them via http://www.euro2008webpart.nl/default.aspx .

They provide an overview of the next 10 matches, a leaderboard off all users, a top15 users, .. and it updates automatically!

It is also multilingual :-)

Have a lot of fun with this nice WebPart!

WSS Task list (workflow/E-mail notification)

I was creating a workflow in SharePoint Designer (SPD) to send an e-mail to a user when a task is created for him or when a task is modified. The purpose of this workflow was that the user does not have to create his alert me for this list. (to avoid users who don’t subscribed to have an excuse for not completing their tasks)

Then I started testing this workflow and it worked :-). But I also received an alert from SharePoint (the ALERT ME).

That made me think… Why am I getting an Alert me message?

So i took a look in My Alerts, there were no alerts configured. Even when an item was changed I got my workflow notification (which was good because my workflow was configured good) and I received an Alert Me.

So I started looking in the settings of this list and found this. In Settings / Advanced setting there is a entry E-mail Notification. Send e-mail when ownership is assigned. It is marked in red.
