SharePoint User Group UK

Hi All , You are all invited to an evening of Testing / Exploration and Discussion

To make up for the Coventry cancellation I will be hosting a meeting with a new twist next Thursday. As well as having Dual screens for demo's I am also going to have 15 PC's setup for attendees to use with pre-configured SharePoint installations. I would like to try and have an evening where we can test new ideas out , or maybe you just want to try and set something up or learn how to just get sharepoint services setup right. The machines will also have Visual Studio installed and Designer. In other words an open evening for discussion / testing and exploration.

Hi Steve,

I would like to attend please. Sounds items I would like to look into are:

Different authentication mechanism (e.g. Forms Login)
Backups & Restorations
Virtual Directories & SharePoint on the same IIS site (you guys probably know if this is possible already)
Possibilities with using Audiences
Using SharePoint Web Services (capabilities of etc)

EDIT: Also the possiblities of using MOSS2007 as a public facing website (anonymous access, registrations, allowing comments at the bottom of pages, etc.).

Cheers,

Nice to have a meeting in Leicestershire again, I hope it's a good turnout.

I'm interested in a number of technical things that others have already mentioned inc.

• Backup strategy, DB sizes, and 3rd party tools
• Object model, Windows Services, Web Services, etc.
• Custom Site Dev's vs Master Pages, when, why, etc.

Other non-technical things also:

• Structuring of sites, many site-collections vs single (related to DB sizes above)
• Usage of publishing pages with auto-workflow (probably technical aspects also)

Generally gain an understanding of how MOOS 2007 is being used by others inc. best-practice and things to avoid. Just wanting to learn more.

I'm looking forward to this.

A sharepoint enthusiast,
