Only  5 days till Vegas.

As the dates near, the largest SharePoint Conference of any type in history approaches.  The largest vendor hall, the largest amount of attendees 6000+ and growing.  This might be the largest Microsoft Conference of the year, definitely approaching the mammoth sizes of even WPC, Teched and PDC.

The unique thing about the SharePoint Conference is the sense of community.  We all have something in common.  SharePoint Geeks!  We LOVE SharePoint.  We also have a tight sense of community where we get to know each other and we get a little crazy when we get together.  Attempts in the past to describe what this odd sense of community that’s special with the SharePoint people is tough to describe.

How do you prepare for this incredible global communal event???

Many of us are still trying to master SharePoint 2007 (version 12) but that does not mean we don’t want to know what SharePoint 2010 (version 14) will bring.

I have a feeling the next version might be called SharePoint 2010, primarily because of the image on the right :) .  Regardless of the name of SharePoint 14, what’s more important to customers, consultants and users is what features are going to be added, updated and removed.

After viewing many blog posts, here is a synposis of the features SharePoint 14 might have:

  • SharePoint Web Parts for FAST ESP but better integration and bigger
  • The server software will be announced as 64 bit only
  • Silverlight Media web parts
  • Better accessibility and cleaner code generation……
