SharePoint 2013 Development Session, Presented by Microsoft and Netwoven
I had the opportunity to attend the SharePoint 2013 Development Session, at the Microsoft Technology Center in Mountain View, yesterday. This was another great session hosted by Netwoven. I spoke with Niraj, President of Netwoven, and he indicated there will be many more free sessions this year. This is another way for you to gain new insight in to SharePoint 2013 as Netwoven has some very sharp individuals delivering the material.
I would invite you to keep an eye on the Events section of their site to see what’s coming next!
Thank you Niraj and Netwoven…
Organization Chart Not Displaying in Personal Site
After configuring Personal sites, in SharePoint 2013, I learned the Organization Chart was not being displayed in the About Me section. After some investigation, I learned the Organization Chart in your own personal site is hidden intentionally. Microsoft indicated they did this to improve the page load performance. When you visit other individuals personal site, you will see the organization chart web part.
There is no simple workaround; changing this will require customization.
When I learn more about the type of customization required to accomplish this, I will post it!

Speaking at Silicon Valley SharePoint User Group – SharePoint Data Taxonomy
This meeting has been postponed to next month. I will provide additional details when I learn of them…
I am speaking at the Silicon Valley SharePoint User Group (SVSPUG) this next week on Wednesday, February 20th.
SharePoint Data Taxonomy
In SharePoint 2010, Microsoft introduced many new features the enable an organization to manage and enterprise-class data taxonomy. With these new features came many questions as to the best practices for obtaining requirements and implementing a data taxonomy that supports day to day business operations, business and individual contextual needs and business agility. In this session, I will share some of the techniques I use, when working with customers, to obtain business requirements that lead to the design of a logical and physical model that can be used to implement a SharePoint data taxonomy.
