Implementing SharePoint is a lot like building a house. It’s like a friend of yours says, “I know exactly what to do.” And, he drives you to a Home Depot, drops you off at the front door and says, “Everything you need is here.” Then, drives off.
- Jared Spool (paraphrased from his closing keynote at Web Directions North by Joanna)
I think the important thing to take away from this is that installing SharePoint is not a enterprise strategy. Using SharePoint as the tool to enable you Enterprise Strategy Vision is a much better approach.

On Thursday, November 23, 2006 the Toronto .net Users Group held a session on search in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
from the Toronto .net Users Group site
As one of the major focus areas for Microsoft, competing with Google in the enterprise space is taking centre stage. Not only will Office SharePoint Server 2007 launch with an optional, cost-effective “search only†SKU, the company is also launching an upgrade to its Windows Desktop Search that searches the user’s desktop, the Internet and any intranet indexes using SharePoint’s indexer. We’ll look at the different components of this strategy and examine some of the architectural opportunities opened up by them.
Mr. Knoch is the Principal Consultant at Navantis responsible for supporting the sales team and overseeing software requirements. Before Navantis, Carsten worked at Microsoft, in Canada and South Africa, where he was responsible for launching Africa’s first MSN portal.
I recorded his presentation and have videos posted below

There has been a great deal of hullabaloo lately about WriteRoom by Hog Bay Software. Here is how the publisher describes it.
For Mac users who enjoy the simplicity of a typewriter, but live in the digital world. WriteRoom is a full-screen, distraction-free writing environment. Unlike the cluttered word processors you’re used to, WriteRoom is just about you and your text.
Lifehacker likes it, Factory Joe talks about it, and 43 folders… well acknowledges it. I can’t find many people who hate it and I myself think that the idea of distraction free writing is a great one.
There has been cloned versions made; DarkRoom for Windows with the .NET framework and JDarkRoom for computers running Java.
I’m not really interested in installing more software on my computer so i decided to see what i could do by tweaking Word 2007. I could have used UltraEdit or possibly even OneNote 2007 but I thought that Word would be the easiest because I could create a template instead of changing my preferences.
This is what I came up with.
Continue reading for instructions how how to set it up. Obviously you’ll need Word 2007 to do this.

So what do you do when your company is about to tear up an old telemarketing office to make way for a new floor of developers… you hold a BarCamp that’s what.

So if you are in the Toronto area and are sick of holiday cheer come out and join us for some inperson knowledge sharing.

Ok I know I ripped of the title but I do kinda reference slash promote the “book”.
I have already talked about SachaC at the first TorCamp enterprise 2.0 gathering but I have finally got of the perch and editted together the presentation that Bryce & I did with lots of help from Carsten.
The presentation is about development methodologies that are associated with Web 2.0 and how they can relate to the Enterprise, the experiences of the Navantis team on developing enterprise application with Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003, and a good discussion on the good and bad points of all the methods
Windows Media Version (63megs) or MP4 version (66megs)
Referenced Materials:
Looking forward to the next time we get together for EnterpriseCamp Enterprise2.0. I really want to show SharePoint enabled collaboration with OneNote.
