My TechEd 2008 Presentations are on video

I gave a presentation in TechEd Israel a month ago, and it is now available to view on streaming video from Microsoft Israel.
The presentation is building an end-to-end community solution using the Microsoft Office System (sharepoint+word in this case) - using web services, custom task panes in office and even a bit of WPF thrown in for good measure.
The powerpoint is in english - but is mostly empty since 90% of the presentation was done in visual studio. If you want to see it, download it here.
The video is available for either streaming or download, but be warned - I am talking in Hebrew (and very quickly...sorry about that - wasn't given enough time to do it properly). If you are interested in seeing how to code a sharepoint web service that reads word 2007 documents and exposes their contents to a custom task pane in word, then by all means, download and watch - just mute the sound (I don't like how I sound in recordings anyway).

The other presentation I was involved in was "the 7 great tips of sharepoint deployment" where I gave the winning tip (using WSP to deploy solutions to farms). The other tips are also interesting, and again the powerpoint is in english while the video is in Hebrew - stream or download.

Tech.ED Israel 2008 done - now in Seattle.

Hey!,
Hope you got to see me last week in TechEd Israel. It was a lot of fun to meet so many friends, and past customers. I didn't get enough time to do the presentation I had properly, but I got it done in exactly the 60 minutes that were alloted to me. I hope people can forgive me for the speed - but I was playing with what I had. I wonder how my feedback was...I will let you know if they tell me (and if it was good).
I have also taken part in an exciting presentation by 7 presentors- it was a competition between us to deliver the best MOSS deployment tip in 7 minutes. If we went over 7 minutes, a "police man" would drag us off the stage (it happened to two presentors). Then, at the end, the crowd was asked to clap for the best presentation, and the "police man" judged the claps and announced me the winner with my tip of "deploy using WSP solution packages". I won a LifeCam vx-3000, which I will contribute to the Canberra SharePoint User Group as a door prize in next month's meeting (May).

I am now in Seattle, a bit sick and jet lagged, but hopefully well enough to learn more about SharePoint and it's future in the next week. If you are an MVP and here, look me up - I am the one with the crazy hair-do!
