A continuation from the previous Windows Sharepoint Services based blog. Which I wanted to migrate for a long period to Sharepoint Foundation 2010, however the ending of Technet subscriptions forced me in looking for other alternatives that do not expire every three months to half a year or cost a fortune to maintain. I did use Technet mostly for testing but also the services that you see on the outside where build on the subscription. All of these will slowly but surely be moved to Open Source for most of the functionality used by myself and members of the family. As at writing I’m still mostly a Windows System Engineer the majority of the hardware resources in use will still be dedicated for prototyping solutions based on a diversity of software coming from Redmond, however the more continues parts of the deal are now Linux based. I doubt that Microsoft will revise the policies around Technet as it was used for pirating a lot. However since I don’t have much time to test things within the time limits that Microsoft set, there is a small penalty which currently relates directly back to my work. Or I’ll simply introduce the solutions which I now build privately to work………… Anyway I hope to make same more contributions over time compared to last few years and see if I can move over all the old entries that are currently still in the Windows Sharepoint Services Portal while retaining their metadata.
