FitzMaurice is the Vice President of Product Technology at Nintex. He started with Microsoft in late 1997 in Microsoft Consulting Services, often creating collaboration and messaging solutions. Mike was a part of the consulting squad that helped the very first early adopter customers beta test “Tahoe”, which would become SharePoint Portal Server 2001. And was part of a team that authored best-practice deployment solutions for optimal usage of SharePoint Server 2001 and SharePoint Team Services in a corporate intranet. Mike FitzMaurice became a Technical Product Manager in time to bring SharePoint Server 2003 and WSS 2.0 to completion, and has not strayed from SharePoint ever since.

Creating a Custom Wiki Template
A SharePoint Specialist from RJB Technical Consulting will show how to develop and utilize a custom Wiki template within SharePoint. A custom template is not available out-of-the-box with SharePoint, but with a little bit of code it is indeed possible. There are various ways to customize not only the entry screen, but the final Wiki page itself.
Highly recommended for anyone thinking of implementing a Wiki solution.

Russ will end the evening by showing how one company utilized the social media functionality of their users MySites to improve communication in a global enterprise.

A tip sheet for getting started with Microsoft SharePoint MySites will be distributed.
