The core of it all being the Taxonomy, Standardisation, Enterprise Search Strategy, Provisioning, extensive concepts of Collaboration and Social Networking, and let's not forget...

TechED 2007 Afterthoughts

This was the best TechEd so far for me. I've met some awesome people, and I've had an opportunity to share a lot of insights, other people's passion and I shared mine with many SADeveloper/SAArchitect community members, MVP's and other delegates. We definitely need an event/forum like this to happen more often than once a year. Durban <-> Joburg <-> Cape Town needs to be much closer than it is now. We've discussed many ideas on how to improve our communities and bring...
