Orange County CA SharePoint User Group Meeting

Last night, Wednesday August 20th, I attended the Orange County CA SharePoint User Group.  It was a good sized crowd; not sure of the count but maybe up-wards of 50 to 60 people attended.  I sure do like to see this; working with community efforts like this is a great way to learn.  Roland DG show the work they have done on their MOSS solution; Intranet and Extranet.

There were a lot of questions around the topic of search at the meeting; and not a lot of answers.  Search in SharePoint does work; you simply need to understand how to architect a solution to produce relevant results within the scope and context of business user needs.  I did offer to deliver a session (or series of sessions) on the topic of search; we'll see if they bite!

The Orange County CA SharePoint User Group web site can be found here.  If you live near Orange County, even those of you from LA, I highly recommend attending.  The meeting is the 3rd Wednesday of every month.  Just put it in your calendar, it's only one evening each month and I am sure you will learn!
