Inspiring Community

Faced with a difficult challenge or an unknown problem, most developers will

turn to the web for answers. Often answers can be found in online community

sites but what is the catalyst that helps drive those sites? Over the

past few months, Intergen has been working to build and support

the community of expertise around the Office Open XML f ile

formats. This has involved not only building out interesting

content and samples that demonstrate the use of the

technology but also dealing with the softer side of

managing a community of thousands of developers fromaround the world.

“I’m excited about taking what we’ve learnt from running the Office

Open XML communities and sharing it with our customers around

the country who are looking to run their own community sites.”

Jennifer Wray, Consultant, Management Consulting Practice

and site Community Manager.

For developers building applications for Microsoft SharePoint, a tool

called the Visual Studio Extensions for Windows SharePoint Services

(VSeWSS) is an invaluable aid. Late last year we began working with

Microsoft to build a new version of this tool, incorporating feedback

from developers around the world. While the final release will not be

available for another month or so, the Community Technical Preview has

been released.

“It’s pretty exciting to work on building a tool that you know will be

used by thousands of your fellow developers around the world.” Clive

Vermeulen, VSeWSS v1.3 Lead Developer.
