It’s all about Groove and SharePoint Workspace

Watch “A glimpse ahead” video and discover Microsoft vision about our future productivity…
It makes you want to be in the future
Enjoy!

You should not!
Or not totally!

As english is not my mother language, I’m used to check my writing with Google Translate. If i am aware that, despite this checking, my sentences will not be certified as “100% good english”, it’s a good mean to remove main errors or to find missing words… Maybe I should not…

Here is an excerpt of a text I checked: “I should also be speaker on 1 or several sessions”
And here is the Google Translate’s answer:

The text in french means “I should also be pregnant on 1 or several sessions”
Well… It is not really what i expected…

I also checked a shortened text: “I should also be speaker”
And here is the Google Translate’s answer:

The text in french means “I would be President”
Again, not really what I expected…

The conclusion of this story: if one of your english contacts ask to you if the childbirth went fine or if you have choosen your ministers… do not be surprised… but stop using Google Translate

I wish you a happy new year 2009!
I hope this new year will bring you joy and sucess, both on personal and professional point of view!
This new starting year is also the right moment to have a look back to 2008!
2008 was indeniably rich in events (TechDays, TechED, TechFest, MVP Summit, Intranet Conference, SharePoint France UG events, Swiss SharePoint UG events), in information about Groove (books, whitepapers, tools templates, press articles), in innovations (evodia, nabaztag, grooveit), in birth  (French Speaking Groove Community), in succès (MVP, Hommes & Process). More than some long sentences, here is a picture that summarizes 2008′s diversity and richness!

Thanks a lot to all people i met or worked with in 2008.
Thank a lot too to all readers of this blog and to people who contribute to it directly or indirectly…

I wish you a year 2009 as rich as 2008!

Finally, for those who do not have ideas regarding their new 2009 resolutions, here is a tool that will indeniably help them: http://resolutionrandomizer.pop.us/ecard.aspx
