With all the hubbub around Git, TFS 2010, and others over the last year or so, the Dayton .Net Developers Group is hosting a panel event this Wednesday, December 9th, titled Source Control Smackdown 2009.  I have been lucky enough to be selected to represent TFS in a clash against SVN (Justin Kohnen) and Git (Leon Gersing).  Please come down and share your experiences, learn some facts and enjoy the banter that will undoubtedly ensue.

Find directions, contact information, panel member bios and other details on the Dayton .Net Developers Group site.

I want to thank all of those who took time out of their day to hang out at the Dog Food II conference in Columbus.  Everything was a great success.  A special thanks to Danilo Casino, Brian Prince, Jeff Blankenburg and everyone else who helped put the event together. 

For those of you who attended my session on Implementing Scrum with Team Foundation Server, you can find my slides here.  I hope everyone enjoyed themselves and I’m already looking forward to getting started next year.

Registration has opened for the 2nd Annual Dog Food conference in Columbus, OH.  SDS is excited to be a sponsor and presenter this year and I hope you have a chance to come by and see some of the topics everyone has planned.  I plan to be there as an observer both days and a speaker the second.  You really need to be someone to get the final session on the final day (a Friday non-the-less), but it’s a topic I’m passionate about: Scrum with Team Foundation Server.

For an agenda and registration information, the venerable Jeff Blankenburg has made available the official Dog Food Conference site.

One of the things we are using here at SDS for our TFS installation and projects is the Scrum for Team System which provides a new Sharepoint Portal layout, Reporting Services reports and graphs, Work Item Templates, and an awesome Process Guidance reference. 

In this screencast, I try to point out some of these features and how to get to them.  It’s short (just over 2 minutes) and I’ll dive into each as we continue our storyline.

Shoutout to Camtasia which is sooo simple to use.
