At this point, anyone who reads this blog ought to know something about Sharepoint. If not, you need to catch up on some reading OR come out to the VB.Net Study Group meeting and listen to me present an introduction to Sharepoint Technologies (both Sharepoint Services and the Sharepoint Portal Server). This time I'll even have a Sharepoint Services Team Site to demo and for people to play around with. Paul Lockwood is doing me an enormous favor by bringing his machine in, and at my request he's built a Virtual PC with Sharepoint installed.
We're also having the year end wrap-up at the VB group where we'll planning out how we're going to do things next year. Come and shout out some topic ideas. We've preliminarily discussed the possibility of an ongoing project, of following through a book, and more of the same - generally disconnected topics. I know Jim would love to see some more member participation - he and I have jointly handled the presentations at the last two or three meetings. I'm not tired of it, but I'm running out of canned presentations to give. 
I hope everyone who isn't already out of town for the holidays can make it.
