TechEd North America 2008 Session Materials : Creating Solutions with the Business Data Catalog

Thanks to everyone who came to my session last week at the Microsoft TechEd 2008 North America Developer conference!  It was really nice to see so many past students at the show and I enjoyed catching up with everyone.  On Wednesday night I had the chance to hang out with many of the Microsoft MVPs and watch the Blues Brothers kick it at the House of Blues.  Eric Shupps accompanied the Blues Brothers for a song, I wish I had a picture of it, I thought he did pretty well.  :)  I met Brett Lonsdale for the first time, Nick Swan's partner at BDC Meta Man, and we shared some great laughs with Rob Bogue.  AC was absolutely mobbed during his book signings; it was really cool to see a person as talented and hard working as Andrew enjoying the spotlight.  Thanks for the book AC!  Brad Smith gave us a demo of his new Black Black appliance and we were all impressed.  I only saw Stacy Draper, Scott Hillier and Bob Mixon for a short time, and it's always good to their smiling faces.

You can find the Site Template Package (STP) for the SharePoint site I used for my demos here.

The SilverLight and BDC Integration demo will be available soon right here on my blog, so please keep an eye out for it.

Hi Todd,

I attended your TechEd session and was curious if you would be posting the SilverLight and BCD Integration demo.

Thanks.

[Subject]    StateDemocracy.org Equips You for the 2008 Elections

Dear Citizen:

Are you ready yet for the November 4th Elections?   How about your friends, family, and neighbors?  

More Americans are expected to vote this year than ever before in history, so don’t be left out!  Be sure to ask everyone you know the following questions:

 Are you registered to vote?  If you moved recently, have you updated your voter registration?

 Did you apply for an Absentee Ballot?  Do you know your state may not require any reason?  

 Can you find your local Polling Place?  Do you know it may have changed from last time?

The answers to these questions -- and all your voting needs -- can be found at www.StateDemocracy.org -- the FREE 1-Stop citizen empowerment portal that Delivers Democracy to your Desktop!   StateDemocracy is among the Internet’s first (since 2001) and most encompassing civic empowerment tools.  

In order to boost voter participation this year, StateDemocracy.org is offering FREE widgets for all 50 states.  You can simply download and embed these widgets into your own website so your visitors can register to vote, get an absentee ballot or find their local polling place.

Lobby Congress Via StateDemocracy

StateDemocracy.org also equips you to maintain an active dialog with your state and federal lawmakers once they are elected.  And RIGHT NOW is an especially opportune time to contact your U.S. Senators and House Member, as Congress takes up major legislation on such issues as offshore oil drilling, another economic stimulus package and all federal appropriations bills over the next few weeks.

As you lobby your elected officials, remember that lawmakers view your constituent input as reflective of scores of other citizens who felt similarly, but didn’t have (or take) the time to share their opinions.

LobbyDelegates.com Further Empowered Grassroots Voices

Over the past 5 months, you may have visited www.LobbyDelegates.com, along with 26,000 other visitors.  This latest public interest portal by the StateDemocracy Foundation remained the only online tool enabling rank-and-file Democrats to lobby all 800+ Super Delegates on which candidate to back for the party’s Presidential nomination.  

StateDemocracy Foundation Website Users Unite!

Many of you have used our StateDemocracy.org and LobbyDelegates.com tools in recent times, and have hopefully found your experience uplifting and empowering.  I encourage all of you to help spread the news about StateDemocracy.org to enable more of our fellow citizens to Connect!  Engage! And Empower!

Sincerely,

Ken Laureys, Executive Director

StateDemocracy Foundation
