Como Podría SharePoint Ayudar en la Epidemia de Gripe Porcina


Hablando con algunos grandes amigos y expertos en Sharepoint como Hector Insua, Luis Du Solei, Fabian Imaz , Juan Andres Valenzuela y otros se da una idea (primeramente planteada por Hector) de que podria hacerse con Sharepoint para ayudar en la epidemia de Gripe Porcina.


Como menciona hector en su post la idea es que con las herramientas que ya disponemos como SharePoint + SQL + Virtual Earth y Silverlight adicional a la ayuda de profesionales voluntarios podamos crear un generar un portal Publico, para que las organizaciones mundiales de salud, ministerios de salud de los países, hospitales y mismo los afectados a nivel mundial puedan tener una referencia global de la enfermedad, detectar puntos de inflexión, saber cual es el hospital mas cercano, cuales son los síntomas, lo que se recomienda, recomendaciones de Médicos, lo que se puede consumir y lo que no, hablando de medicamentos, solicitudes de ayuda a nivel mundial, coordinar logística de entregas etc...


Por eso mismo estamos adicionalmente buscando voluntarios que quieran trabajar en la creacion de este portal especial.


Algunas Soluciones que se podrian implementar serian
  • Bibliotecas de repositorios de estudios realizados
  • Listas de Hospitales o Centros Médicos también localizados en un Mapa
  • Blogs con Noticias de Ultimo momento.
  • Foros de Consultas (Ask a Doctor)
  • Videos Informativos, Animaciones generadas con Silverlight.
  • Pedidos de Ayuda
  • Subsitios para Hospitales con Información Local
  • Repositorio para documentación de Pruebas de Campo.
  • Bibliotecas de Imagen
  • Opciones para Generar Donaciones para los Damnificados
  • Exportar Reportes a Excel para Analisis de Datos
  • Publicacion de los Ultimos Estudios Realizados

Si Te interesa la idea, difunde la pagina, recluta personas, empresas y recursos, todo sirve, la causa es noble..

Asi como otros de mis amigos lo han hecho yo tambien me pongo a entera disposición para trabajar en este proyecto desde ya, quien se quiera sumar, deje un mensaje en los comentarios para organizar un plan de trabajo y ver con que recursos contamos, y como menciona hector en su post original entre todos se puede lograr y de esta manera podriamos ayudar a la sociedad y a la comunidad


Saludos Cordiales y a trabajar se ha dicho

Funcionalidad Muy Interesante Windows XP Mode para Windows 7

Hola Amigos



Mi amigo Alfedro Pahral me envio esta noticia la cual me parecio muy buena por lo cual la comparto con ustedes y tiene que ver con la nueva funcionalidad que tendra Windows 7 la cual nos permitira correr aplicaciones nativas de xp sin problemas en windows 7.


Windows XP Mode en un método incorporado en Windows 7 con la finalidad de brindar compatibilidad total con los programas de terceros y también proporcionar el mismo ambiente de trabajo. (XP Mode no se incluye en Windows 7, pero se considera una actualización out-of-band, parecido al Windows Live Essentials).

Con la instalacion de windows xp mode se podra instalar cualquier aplicación compatible con Windows XP (en windows xp mode) y estas se integrarán en Windows 7 como si fueran aplicaciones realizadas para este sistema operativo, todo esto sin necesidad de una maquina virtual ya que windows xp mode esta basado en la tecnologia Enterprise Desktop Virtualization.

Sharepoint tools support in Visual Studio 2010



En una lista de noticias publicables sobre la nueva version de Sharepoint (nombre oficial Sharepoint 2010) me encontre con un post un poco viejo pero que no habia tenido la oportunidad de revisar y me parecio muy interesante.

El post tiene que ver con las nueva expasion de soporte que brindara VS 2010 para trabajo con Sharepoint como un conjunto de template de proyectos, disenos y deployments de infraestructura asi como una extension del API , lo cual hara a los desarrolladores mas productivos en la plataforma Sharepoint.

Les dejo el post completo tomado del blog de Somasegar (Somasegar Weblog)

Espero que le sea de utilidad a todos los desarrolladores que trabajan con Sharepoint o que tienen pensado en un futuro trabajar con la Herramienta.

Microsoft SharePoint “14” es ahora Microsoft SharePoint 2010

Ya es oficial el nombre de la siguiente version de Sharepoint sera Sharepoint 2010 (ya no usaremos MOSS para referirnos a Sharepoint), esto fue anunciado por Chris Capossela (Senior Vice President of Microsoft Information Worker Product Management Group) en conjunto con otras noticias importantes incluyendo la salida del beta publico de Microsoft Exchange Server 2010.
Les copio parte de la entrevista realizada a Chris y las principales razones para el cambio de nombres, yo en lo personal extranare mucho el nombre MOSS, pero por el lado positivo ya tenemos un nombre oficial para el nuevo producto y sera Sharepoint 2010

As part of that announcement, we also talked about some of the names for the "14" wave of products including Microsoft Office 2010 and Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010. I wanted to answer some questions that I think will inevitably pop to the top of your mind:

What happened to the Office piece of the name? We love MOSS. . . .

The first thing you'll notice is that the MOSS acronym goes away with the new name since Office is no longer in the SharePoint official name. No one should worry that SharePoint doesn't work great with Office 2010 since we removed Office from the name, just like people didn't worry whether SharePoint was a great portal product when we removed Portal from the 2007 name.
The primary reason why we took Office out of the name - lots of folks associate the name Office with the Office client. We wanted to take the opportunity to reestablish the Office name and brand to be synonymous with the client suite. I say "Give the people what they Want" so everyone should immediately think of Microsoft Office = Office apps.
Don't try to acronym Microsoft SharePoint Server to MSS since MSS is already taken by Microsoft Search Server. Just remember, SharePoint is SharePoint is SharePoint.

What about Windows SharePoint Services?

When you read through the announcement, you may be wondering what happened to Windows SharePoint Services. While we didn't announcement anything new for WSS, and I want to assure you that we're definitely working on a new v4 version of the product. It's too early to drill into any of the details but WSS is getting a lot of new features and will be a great release. We'll talk more about WSS at a later date.

So, what was announced?

• Exchange 2010 will lead the way for the 2010 (previously referred by its codename "14") wave of technologies and it will be available in the second half of 2009. You can download a beta today.
• Using Office Web applications, customers will be able to create, edit and collaborate on Office documents through a browser.
• IT professionals will be able to choose to either deploy and manage on-premises or hosted as a service.
• For developers, we are working on Open APIs, deep support for industry standards and developer tool support with Visual Studio 2010.

Este es el tercero de la serie de examenes de especializacion en Project Server junto con el 70-632 TS: Microsoft Office Project 2007, Managing Projects y 70-633 TS: Microsoft Office Project Server 2007, Managing Projects.

El examen consta de un conjunto de 8 casos practicos , en los cuales se basan las preguntas que van orientadas a como implementaro utilizar de la manera mas adecuada las mejores practicas de administracion de proyectos orientadas a Project Server. Me parecio muy bueno el examen ya que mide tanto el conocimiento como la experiencia de las personas ya que en los casos se presentan muchas de las situaciones que uno se encuentra a la hora de realizar un proyecto de implatacion de Project Server 2007.

Adicionalmente para relizar este examen es bueno que la persona tenga conocimiento de Project 2007 asi como del PMBOOK en cuanto a terminologia y metodoligas de administracion Proyectos.

Los insto a realizar este examen realmente esta muy provechosa la experiencia, si necesitan ayuda para algun topico de estos examenes, no duden en contactarme : rjmunozm@gmail.com

Les dejo la nota oficial y el preguntas frecuentes sobre esta muy buena noticia

SharePoint Designer 2007Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Licensing ChangesApril 2, 2009
SUMMARY
· Customers tell us that a significant part of the customization capabilities of SharePoint Designer 2007 are seen as an extension of what SharePoint already does.
· In order to continue promoting custom solutions built on SharePoint, and based on this customer feedback, we are making SharePoint Designer 2007 available as a free download starting on April 2, 2009.
· Customers on active Software Assurance as of April 1, 2009 will get rights to Expression Web.

GENERAL

1. What is Microsoft announcing?One of the key aspects of the SharePoint value proposition is its ability to support customized solutions built on our platform. Our strategy is to facilitate the creation of these customizations and allow our customers to make the most of their overall investments in SharePoint. In addition, we hear more and more that customers want to be able to create dynamic web sites on SharePoint. Based on this feedback from our customers, we are making SharePoint Designer 2007 available as a free download starting on April 2, 2009. To “make it right” with our Software Assurance (SA) customers, those customers on Software Assurance for SharePoint Designer 2007 as of April 1, 2009, will be granted rights to Expression Web.

2. What exactly are “SharePoint customizations” and why are they important to Microsoft’s strategic direction?Our different SharePoint server offerings provide a number of capabilities that can help improve organizational effectiveness through comprehensive content management and enterprise search, support for shared business processes and workflows, and capabilities for information-sharing and better business insight, across intranet, extranet, and internet-facing applications, all within one platform. SharePoint customizations include sophisticated no-code solutions such as Data Views, reports, and workflow tracking built by our customers quickly and easily using menus, task panes, and templates. In addition, our platform provides IT professionals and developers with the building blocks and tools for interoperability and extensibility that they need to build customized business solutions on SharePoint.

3. What is the value of this to me as a customer? SharePoint delivers great out-of-the-box functionality. However, the majority of our customers use SharePoint to create custom portal solutions, extranets and intranets, internet-facing sites, collaboration solutions, social networking sites, business processes, and internal applications on top of the extensive capabilities of SharePoint to fulfill their specific business needs. In addition, through SharePoint customizations, customers can integrate and extend their existing enterprise applications to improve the productivity of an organization, increase its agility, and to obtain higher returns on these application investments.

4. Is this product change in reaction to our competitors or other external circumstances, such as the current economy?

As part of Microsoft’s regular strategy reviews, we consulted with many of our customers. Their feedback consistently stressed the value of SharePoint customizations for their business. They also expressed to us how many of the capabilities of SharePoint Designer are seen as “natural” capabilities of SharePoint.

5. What are they key things I should know as a customer?You should know the following:
o Our strategy is to ensure that customers create more and more customizations on SharePoint. We want customers to see the value of SharePoint Designer through their overall investment in SharePoint, and we want to continue helping our customers create dynamic and sophisticated user experiences in SharePoint.
o SharePoint Designer will be available as a free download starting on April 2, 2009.
o Customers should not be purchasing any more licenses of SharePoint Designer, but instead download the product for free at our site (http://www.microsoft.com/spd).
o Customers on active Software Assurance on SharePoint Designer as of April 1, 2009 will get upgrade rights to Expression Web.
o Future versions of SharePoint Designer will also be available as a free download. The next version of SharePoint Designer will ship simultaneously with the next version of SharePoint.
Additional resources and information can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/spd.
ROADMAP, PRICING, LICENSING & SUPPORT

6. What will happen to SharePoint Designer? Customization is a critical capability and significant component of the value of SharePoint and Microsoft will continue marketing and R&D investment in this area in future product releases. As a product available for free, however, SharePoint Designer 2007 will no longer be a standalone item on the Microsoft price list as of April 1, 2009. Organizations interested in SharePoint Designer 2007 can obtain it via download for free from http://www.microsoft.com/spd starting on that date. Future releases of SharePoint Designer will also be free. The next version of SharePoint Designer will be available simultaneously with the release of the next version of SharePoint.

7. How do I acquire SharePoint Designer 2007?
SharePoint Designer can be obtained it via free download from http://www.microsoft.com/spd starting on April 2, 2009.

8. Does this mean that SharePoint Designer will be removed from the pricelist? Will that happen immediately?
As a free product, SharePoint Designer 2007 will be removed from the pricelist on April 1, 2009.

9. What about customers who have purchased SharePoint Designer up until now? How will Microsoft “make it right” with them?
Customers with Software Assurance active on SharePoint Designer 2007 as of April 1, 2009 will get upgrade rights to Expression Web.

10. But Expression Web does not currently support SharePoint sites. When will that change?
Expression Web does not currently support SharePoint sites directly. However, we are working to ensure that Expression Web becomes an excellent choice for SharePoint customization. This capability will be available in a future version of Expression Web. In the mean time, customers who receive this Software Assurance benefit should continue to use SharePoint Designer for their SharePoint needs, and can utilize Expression Web for other non SharePoint needs.

11. What value will Expression Web bring to SharePoint?
Expression Web and Expression Suite help professional designers create modern, dynamic and interactive sites that incorporate Silverlight applications and rich media, and it will be an excellent choice for creating great experiences and interactive SharePoint sites, especially as part of the full Expression Suite.

12. What about customer support for SharePoint Designer?
Our customer support policies remain unchanged. We will continue to support all SharePoint Designer customers per our existing support policy. Please visit http://support.microsoft.com/ph/11677.

13. Will customers get a refund if they purchased SharePoint Designer 2007?
No. Microsoft does not refund money on products purchased.

14. What about when SharePoint “v-next” ships? What will happen then?SharePoint Designer “v-next” will be available simultaneously with the release of the next version of SharePoint, and it will also be a free download.

15. What about legacy products such as FrontPage?Many legacy FrontPage customers transitioned to SharePoint Designer. If a customer is active on Software Assurance on SharePoint Designer as of April 1, 2009, it will get rights to Expression Web. Also, current customers of Expression Web are already eligible to use Microsoft FrontPage 2003 in place of Expression Web. Therefore, customers who get rights to Expression Web through these SA benefits of SharePoint Designer 2007 automatically receive that option as well.

16. Will customers still be able to purchase SharePoint Designer if they require more licenses for an existing deployment?No. Organizations should not purchase SharePoint Designer licenses. Organizations interested in SharePoint Designer can obtain it via download from http://www.microsoft.com/spd starting on April 2, 2009.

17. I am a customer of SharePoint Online or interested in it. What does all this mean to me?Microsoft SharePoint Online is a Microsoft-hosted solution that provides a single, integrated location where employees can efficiently collaborate with team members, find organizational resources, search your site, manage content and workflow, and leverage business insight to make better-informed decisions.Because SharePoint Online is based on SharePoint Server, SharePoint Designer can customize SharePoint Online sites. The customization capabilities that are not supported in the current version of SharePoint Online are primarily the use of code in workflows or forms, or modifications that require deployment and configuration on the server (for example, security policies, web.config changes, etc.) or that require changes to the database schema. More information about SharePoint Online can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/online/sharepoint-online.mspx.If I have additional questions, who do I contact?Your account team or Microsoft partner is there to assist you and can provide you with any additional information. Also, we will be providing resources and information at http://www.microsoft.com/spd
