My notes about the session “SharePoint 2013 hybrid end-to-end” by Sam Hassani. A Hybrid environment combining SharePoint Server 2013 and SharePoint Online can fuse together the very best elements of both systems and offer a seamless experience to end-users when implemented correctly - in addition to providing you with cost savings. Attend this session to understand the solutions SharePoint hybrid environments support. We’ll walk through the end-to-end configuration process covering infrastructure, identity management and SharePoint integration points.

My notes about the session “Introducing Codename Oslo and the Office Graph”. Come see how we reimagined search and discovery across Office with Codename Oslo, powered by the Office Graph. Oslo enables you to work like a network, by proactively surfacing the best and relevant information across Office, tailored just for you. Learn how Office Graph transforms Office, with suite wide insights and machine learning. Session by Cem Aykan and Ashok Kuppusamy.

Today it was time to update my SharePoint 2013 installation from March PU 2013 to August 2013 CU - mostly because the Search Schema changed under the hood and I wanted to try something out for the awesome Search Query Tool. Download Wow, 1.8GB patch – that is huge! Compared to the RTM version of SharePoint 2013 with 2.4GB they rewrote 75% - or the patching strategy is not that optimal.
