If so, then you might be interested in downloading my Team System presentation and/or my SQL Server 2005 script for developers.

Yesterday's 'camp rocked! We had over 130 people attend, and ran several successful sessions throughout the day.

Not only is it Saint Patrick's Day.

Not only does Team Foundation Server RTM today, but tomorrow is the Boise Code Code camp:

On April 27th (Thursday) from 8:30am to 5:00pm at the Overland Park Cinema the Boise .NET User Group will be hosting Scott Bellware. Scott will be delivering his Test Driven Development workshop. Here's a link to the syllabus from a previously-run workshop in Houston. This event will be free to the public, but you must register.

Check back to the NETDUG home page for registration details.

Wow, I wish more readers felt like Paul Lockwood. Read his glowing review of my Working with Visual Studio 2005 Team System book here.

I just got word that the Scrum for Team System: Beta 3 is now available. This build targets Team Foundation Server (Release Candidate). To download the installer, visit the Announcements section of the forum (by visiting http://scrum-master.com/vsts and clicking on the Forum link once signed in).

The BoF sessions submission and voting is now live. Visit their page to submit a hot topic (or vote on one).

Spread the word!

Check out this article on engadget. It looks like there are six editions: Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate.

Check out Ashwin Karuhatty's blog for some good resources on migrating to Team Foundation Version Control. You should bookmark his site, because they'll be more good resources to come.

Microsoft has published this known issues page pertaining to the TFS Release Candidate. It should be read by all who are installing/upgrading.

You can also refer to the readme online as well.

Check out Jonathan Goodyear's interview with Sean O'Driscoll, where the two discuss the inner workings of the MVP program.

I've spent some time this evening and put together, what I consider to be a fairly comprehensive list of Team System and Team Foundation Server add-ins, utilities, and full-on products.

Did I miss any? Let me know!

Yep. I had to read the title twice myself, but there appears to be many good papers and even a book on the subject.

Thanks to Ted Neward for the information.

The GISUG had its inaugural meeting last week. From what Pete Hohenhaus tells me, there was a lot of enthusiasm, participation, and interest. Not including the presenters, they had 35 attendees. All in all an excellent beginning for this promising group.

Owen Allen, Jason Mauer, and Chris Barnard presented on Office 2007/SharePoint 2007. Owen and Jason focused many of the new capabilities, as well as the overall look and feel. Chris did an overview of the product release. Pete presented on some perspectives of what SharePoint is, how it can be used, and how best it can assist with collaborative work.

Pete has setup a controlled access MSN Group and they will be adding content and sending out invitations to join very soon.

Like my good friends Scott Cate and Wallace B. McClure, I have also been accepted to the INETA speakers' bureau. As a former user group coordinator, I appreciate INETA's mission to help bridge the resource-gap with .NET focused user groups around the country. INETA is a group that I have long supported and I consider it an honor to represent them.

I'm looking forward to a new target audience for my continued evangelism in .NET, SQL Server 2005, and Team System!

TeamPlain Web Access is a web interface for Team Foundation Server that allows you to manage work items, documents, reports and source control repositories.

These guys also make a Team System plug-in for Eclipse and Visual Studio 2003.

I'm in a weird mood today, so I'll challenge you to see if you can rearrange the letters of NEW DOOR to make one word?

Hat-tip to Scott Hanselman for pointing out CarlosAg's Ajax-style snippet translator.

Give it a try!
