When I was participating for the SEA SharePoint Conference in Singapore which was held on October 2010, during speaker dinner, Michael Noel proposed to host a SharePoint Saturday in Sri Lanka. I was thrilled and wanted to really make it true but unfortunately I didn’t have time to invest after I flew back to India.
I relocated back to Sri Lanka in December 2010 and initiated the conversation with our DPE and here I hear that they have already started planning for the same. Wow..! I was surprised and thrilled and finally we hosted our first ever SharePoint Saturday Sri Lanka yesterday with more than 200 attendees.
I presented 01 session for the Special Interest track and the session was all about how to build data-driven applications at the speed of thinking with Access Services feature in SharePoint 2010. There were more than 70 attendees and lots of them were new to the product and I felt the topic was a great selection because Access Services is not very hard to understand.
We had Dux Raymond, Michael Noel, Jey Srikantha, Shakir Majeed and Nalaka Withanage come down specially for this local event and the event was organized by Microsoft and Innovative-e. Also the event was sponsored by Virtusa, Creative, Greenwich, Millennium IT and Sanje Lanka and thanks a lot for all of them for the support extended.

SharePoint Saturday Sri Lanka
I was in Singapore last year for presenting at SEA SharePoint Conference and I met Michael Noel & Alpesh Nakar and few other members who are part of SharePoint Saturday. We discussed the possibility of having a SharePoint Saturday in Sri Lanka and Michael liked it to have during Mango season.
Finaly we are having our first SharePoint Saturday in Sri Lanka and it’s happening on 11th June. I’m delighted to present a session there even with the very tight schedule I’m having right now. More importantly, I’m delighted to present while my employer – Virtusa Pvt. Ltd. also sponsoring for the event.
