Project Templates for SharePoint Development
I've had the privilege of working with an organization for almost two years now doing alot of SharePoint development. There's a team of approximately 75 developers that cover the gammut of skill sets and experiences, most of whom are working, to some degree, with C# and SharePoint development. One of the things that has come up repeatedly, is "how do I get started"? or "what project template should I be using"? These are good questions without a completely clear answer. This post (and hopefully some following) are intended to discuss what we are using, how it evolves, what options we discarded, and why. I spent last Friday teaching a class attempting to bring our team up to speed as to how to structure their SharePoint solutions/projects in VS and get them integrated with Team Build and packaged for deployment in our organization. As the day wore on, I realized how "janky" the "elegant" solution I had been using felt to someone new to the problem set. The supposed elegance was simply relative to the pain I had been experiencing doing it the "old way"... there has to be a better answer for the causal SharePoint developer.

MSFT/BPM/SOA Session 3
The third session I attended was a lunch session sponsored by K2 (http://www.k2.com). I was looking forward to this presentation as I've heard quite a bit about K2, and they've been doing workflow in SharePoint long before MSFT was. -

MSFT/BPM Session 1
Today started out with the keynote for the conference and it was certainly not disappointing. The following is basically a brain dump of the information presented along with some commentary.

Microsoft's Fifth Annual SOA and BPM Conference
I'm in Redmond this week attending Microsoft's fifth annual SOA and BPM conference. It's pretty interesting so far, and I'm intending on writing a number of different posts (one per session that I attend). For the last nine months I've been working in the federal IT arena stationed working with a reasonably large organization. One of our current objectives is to evaluate means of improving the governance of our processes both at the definition as well as the execution level. The means, that I'm interested in this conference specifically from the aspect of understanding where MSFT is going in the SOA space but also where the various partners play in the space, and working to understand how the various tools work together to affect a workable solution.

Base Template for MOSS Master Pages
I'm posting this more for my own benefit (able to find it later) than anything, but while working on a master page customization for a client I stumbled across a posting on MSDN on how to create a minimal master page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa660698.aspx).

Why Can't I Create a Master Page in the Site Collection???
Chalk it up to being a newbie at Sharepoint v3/MOSS 2007 development, but I expected that since I was a site "owner" of both a sub-site as well as the site collection that I should be able to create a master page using SPD and save it to the site collection's master page gallery... silly me.
