I’ve been doing technical community building for a long time – I’d say about 9 years. I know lots of people in the storage, virtualization, and cloud communities — you know, infrastructure stuff. And I love y’all, I really do.

Because of my current job – Product Marketing Manager for EMC’s Spanning Backup for Office 365, I’ve been reaching out to members of the Microsoft community. Y’all – the SharePoint people are just wicked cool. It is hands-down the most open, collaborative technical community I’ve ever been a part of….or maybe it’s just a south Texas thing??

I’m really not sure, but so far the people have been amazing. Saturday I went to my first SharePoint Saturday (think VMUG). And instead of #vbeers or #storagebeers, they have #sharepint. Which was fabulous!

Here’s a storify of the day’s tweets. My brain is still full from what I learned. Thanks so much again to the organizers…what a great event!
