Following on from a recent post about the APAC Sharepoint Conference, there was a comment about Microsoft Office Groove from Jim Moffat.

A very successful, 2 day Groove technical session was tacked on the end of EMEA’s SharePoint conference in Berlin last month. Will that be happening in Sydney too?

One of the outcomes was a global Community Server site for spawning Groove user groups, http://grooveuser.org

Thanks Jim – not sure if there will be a Groove technical session – there’s certainly some momentum gathering in this space. Check out the Global Groove User Group. Nice looking site, only just starting out – but already some folk in UK and Germany are involved.

Tonights user group @ MOSSIG covered a more business oriented view of Groove – esp. the ease of creating forms and publishing. Looks like you can get a quick & functional “workspace” happening very quickly.
