2023 marks then the moment in time when I believe I can restart contributing and hopefully inspiring others, probably with some scope adjustment – I guess it would make sense otherwise as 7 years in tech is a lifetime. So here is what you can expect going forward:

• I am now an architect, still in the same large Multinational Software company, and for that reason the focus on Sharepoint will be no more
• I have deeply involved in DevOps and organizational transformations, so expect to see a lot more on those areas
• Nowadays we live with our heads in the clouds (pun intended) and that has been one of the greatest continuous learning area for me in the last years
• I picked up craft beer brewing and love IoT side projects so expect some sharing on the mix of these two worlds as well
• My first 3D printer is on route as I type this and I can foresee sharing some of the pain I am foreseeing with you

To cut the list short, I will share my learnings, good and specially the bad ones, in what makes my ticker tick. I hope you can find some interesting stuff and specially I hope to spike some inspiration and controversy, addressing some of my thoughts on the technology world that we all live in. You are always FREE TO DISAGREE, push back and challenge me on those perspectives, just send a constructive feedback or comment and I will love to keep the discussion going.

Stay safe and stay tunned.

Get up and running quickly with SharePoint Server 2016 IT Preview with the new Quick Start Guide > http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4871….

Here are some juicy bits:
Download SharePoint Server 2016 Preview from Official Microsoft Download Center
SharePoint Server 2016 IT Preview has been designed, developed, and tested with the Microsoft Software as a Service (SaaS) strategy at its core. Drawing extensively from that experience, SharePoint Server 2016 IT Preview is designed to help you achieve new levels of reliability and performance and empower users while meeting their demands for greater business mobility

Announcing availability of SharePoint Server 2016 IT Preview and cloud hybrid search
(…)
Today we’re excited to announce availability of both SharePoint Server 2016 IT Preview and the new cloud hybrid search preview for SharePoint Server 2013 and 2016. As we continue to develop SharePoint Server 2016, we’re paying close attention to trends in content management, team collaboration, user experiences across devices, and how the cloud can be blended into existing on-premises scenarios in new and compelling ways. We’ve been working hard to get this out to you, and we know you’ve been waiting patiently since we announced that it was coming. This is a long post, but there is a lot of important information, so if you want to jump in and install the preview, I really encourage you to read it completely.

There are a number of new resources made available in parallel to this launch to include:

• New SharePoint Server 2016 Preview documentation on TechNet [https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp179725.aspx]
• A new SharePoint Server 2016 Preview Forum on TechNet to support technical discussions [https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/home?forum…]

Have fun!
