Configuration Manager SuperFlow Showcase at MMS 2009 - Call for Action!

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 21:38:40 Z

Calling all MMS 2009 Attendees!

The Configuration Manager writing team has developed a new interactive content model that we call the SuperFlow, that some of you might have heard about. A SuperFlow is a downloadable tool that provides troubleshooting, process flow and other data flow information in an interactive format. We have several of these currently in development covering Configuration Manager topics such as Soiftware Updates, Operating System Deployment PxE Installation, and Client Installation Troubleshooting. Other Windows and System Center teams are also beginning to develop SuperFlows to support their products.

We would like to demonstrate the work we’ve been doing on this model – and get your feedback! - at this year’s MMS by scheduling a Birds of a Feather (BoF) Session. Here’s where we need your help!

BoF Sessions are selected through the vote of registered attendees. If enough folks select a session, then it gets scheduled. There is no obligation for you to actually attend the sessions you vote for. If you think this SuperFlow session would be of interest and value to yourself or other folks attending the conference, please vote for it by:

1. Signing into the MMS 2009 CommNet site using your credentials

2. Clicking BoF Survey from the menu on the left

3. Selecting “Configuration Manager SuperFlow Showcase” from the Commonly Requested Topics drop down list (should be the third from the top)

4. Enter in some text in the Proposed Abstract text box (like “Show me the SuperFlow”), or any other specific information you’d like to see about SuperFlows.

5. Then click submit.

* You can optionally include your name and/or email before submitting.

If the BoF session does not get selected, I will schedule a side meeting to demonstrate the SuperFlows. If you are interested in attending that side meeting if we need to schedule it, or if you have any questions in general about SuperFlows, please send an email to smsdocs@microsoft.com.

Thanks for your help!
