Title: Branding SharePoint 2013 without breaking everything
SharePoint 2013 (and SharePoint Online) have given us a lot of different tools to offer a better design experience to our users; but it’s never as easy as the marketing materials make it out to be. In this session we’ll look at a couple of different methods to apply branding to SharePoint, while also making sure that you do not break existing SharePoint Functionality.

With the unpredictable weather in January, the Louisville SharePoint User Group has decided to hold an all-virtual event. Paul Stork, a SharePoint MVP and Microsoft Certified Master based out of the Cleveland area will be our speaker. Since this will be our first "outside" speaker, I would love to make this a well-attended event.
Topic: Intro to Office Graph and Delve: Finding what you want before you know you need it
At the SharePoint Conference in the Spring of 2014 Microsoft announced a new Product called Project "Oslo". Project "Oslo" is made up of two new product offerings; Office Graph and Delve. Office Graph is a new technology that uses a combination of machine learning and SharePoint search to explore the relationships between People you follow, the content they author, and the social activities they participate in. The information revealed by Office Graph is then presented to users in a personalized interface using Delve in Office 365. By leveraging these new technologies Delve can present you with a proactive look at content you might be interested in before you even think to search for it. In this talk we'll demonstrate how Delve works and review the underlying architecture of Delve and Office Graph. We'll also provide some examples of how developers can leverage Delve to create new applications or surface Office Graph content in SharePoint.
See you there! (virtually!)

Title: Designing a Plan for Sustained User Adoption
Organizational change management is one of the most overlooked and under-planned parts of many SharePoint implementations. You simply cannot afford to ignore the importance of this topic. Successful organizational change management is a critical component to ensuring the success of any SharePoint initiative.
In this class, we will discuss field-proven tactics to help your users make sense of the change that your SharePoint solution will inevitably bring into their daily work lives. You will learn a user adoption framework and some factors you should consider when planning your next SharePoint initiative. We will challenge the mindset that adoption can be driven, and embrace the concept of designing change for long-term sustainable cultural acceptance.
By attending this class, you will be able to:
Design your own organizational change-management strategy Understand how to foster user adoption Understand how to engage and build solution champions Build a communication plan Apply field-tested strategies in your organization Bio:

July 17th - 5:30 pm @ the Microsoft Polaris Office
A look into SharePoint User Policies, the creation of “super users” and how to take away powers from everyone else!
In this session we will explore SharePoint Permission Policies and User Policies to grant application wide permissions to selected users to create the often mentioned but rarely documented “Auditor” and “Super User” roles. We will also see how to use SharePoint’s only option to deny permissions to restrict even Full Control users from things like creating subsites.
See you there!

Topic: Yammer
One of the biggest investments Microsoft made in SharePoint 2013 was in the area of "Social" collaboration. Yet, just before SharePoint 2013 launched Microsoft announced that they had purchased Yammer, another popular "Social" collaboration system. Since then Microsoft has announced a road map to integrate the cloud based Yammer functionality into both SharePoint Online (Office 365) and traditional SharePoint on-premises. In this talk we will examine the questions
- What is Yammer?
- How is it different from SharePoint "Social" features?
- How do I use it?
- What is the state of integration available today for both Office 365 and SharePoint On-premises?

Topic: OneShell | Managing SharePoint Anywhere with Windows PowerShellTopic: Using PowerShell, and a web service call or two, to Administer SharePoint Office 365
Description: With the growing adoption of Office 365 and SharePoint Online and the continued prevalence of SharePoint on-premises, it’s becoming more difficult to manage both environments Scriptamatically™. While SharePoint Online does have native support for Windows PowerShell, there are very few cmdlets to manage the sites and site contents. SharePoint on-premises gives us well over 700 cmdlets, but it still doesn’t answer every situational scenario – leaving gaps in functionality which can be filled by scripters.
In this demo-heavy session, focused on both the developer AND the administrator – you’ll see how you can use OneShell to manage both scenarios (on-premises and Office 365). Demonstrations will focus on building OneShell for both target environments, and by the end of the session you’ll be ready to start Managing SharePoint Anywhere with PowerShell.

Lisa Gardner will present on SharePoint and SQL Server
SharePoint is a rapidly growing application that relies heavily on SQL Server. In this session, we will discuss what a DBA needs to know to successfully manage instances hosting SharePoint databases. What configuration options are best for a SharePoint workload? What kind of maintenance should be performed? How should databases be provisioned? What the heck are all these databases for anyway? We will also discuss some nomenclature and key components of SharePoint to help DBAs better communicate with SharePoint application teams.
This presentation is aimed at DBAs who have to manage SharePoint databases, but it definitely pertains to SharePoint administrators as well.
