David McCollough for Tulsa SharePoint User Group President 2009

I would like to announce my candidacy for President of the Tulsa SharePoint User Group 2009.  The elections will be held during the monthly meeting on February 9, 2009, from  6:00PM  until 8:00PM.

I am a Microsoft Certified Application Developer with 13+ years experience developing software applications and I’m  currently working for a Microsoft Managed Gold Partner, SpringPoint Technologies.  I would like to share what I have learned about SharePoint with other developers while continuing to expand my knowledge of SharePoint as well.

Following are a few ideas I would like to implement in 2009:

  1. Migrate the current SharePoint user group web site to a SharePoint hosted user community site utilizing the Community Kit for SharePoint.
  2. Utilize FaceBook and YouTube to increase the user group’s online presence.  This includes video taping the meetings (with the presenters consent) and post on YouTube.  This would allow members of the community that are unable to attend the meetings to view the content while increasing the awareness of the SharePoint User Group. 
  3. Provide a link from the user group web site to the videos.
  4. Increase awareness, membership and sponsorship of the user group.

The monthly meetings are located at the Tulsa Community College Northeast Campus, Main Academic / Administration Building, Seminar Center, Room 109 in Tulsa, OK.

 

Sincerly

David M. McCollough

A year ago we tried to get a tabloid newspaper called TulsaHighTech going, to support all user groups in the area, but we could not find enough people willing to help us distribite it. We have been persuaded to convert it to a Web-Only publication, and we did so in February.

The March issue of TulsaHighTech has been posted at http://tulsahightech.com, which will redirect you to the proper URL for your screen resolution. There is a PDF which you can download, or you can read individual articles on line.

The articles are listed by category: Beginner (8 articles), Education (6 articles), Community Service (3 articles), and Advanced (7 articles).

The purpose of Tulsa High Tech is to provide a clearing house for what is happening in the area of High Technology in the Tulsa Area, including education, seminars and workshps, blogging, exhibits, manufacturing, and anything else we can think of. In addition to providing access to class schedules, listings of various groups, and product reviews we intend to cover the human interest side of IT. We will feature profiles of instructors, community service projects, etc.

If you would like to have your user group included on a list of area User Groups, please send me the name of your group, web address, meeting time and location, and email addresses for officers.

If you would like to have news of your group included each month, send me what you did last month, and what you plan to do next month. I need to have this by the 15th of each month (absolutely no later than the 20th of each month.)

And if any of your members would like to write technical articles on some aspect of your subject, please send them to me.
